I want to know what the click bait BK was offering up was!

whats messing with my groove:

I'm thinking about breaking up with my girlfriend. Just know that its going to be horrible, she's going to be devastated and its going to be just down right shite

[Slow Ben]

Take Joey Tribbiani's advice.


Just tell her she's not marriage material.

Went to Starbucks this morning to get a normal coffee and muffin. Saw they had Halloween themed frappiccino drinks for Frankenstein's monster, a zombie, and Dracula. They were all manner of neon colors that looked like chemicals manufactured in a lab and so much sugar that my teeth hurt just looking at them. Diabetes in a cup. Gross.

[Andorion]

Sneezing ever since I woke up. Yep. This day is going to go very nicely.

I even spilled my coffee

[worry]

Another big name Hollywood abuser outed. I guess I don't want to start a Discussion thread on this because it's already so harmful that it's like constantly in the air. Like people who've endured traumas have to deal with this constant discussion of it. And on another facet, what is there to discuss really (here, at least, where everyone is pretty like-minded on the topic), aside from just the deepest disgust? But this is a big one, so it's gonna enter everyone's ears and eyes sure enough. I'll put it behind a spoiler though, and I guess if there's any response to it, I advise spoilering that too. It's gross and heart-sinking.

It's Kevin Spacey, who came on to -- in an unmistakably and overtly sexual manner -- to then-14-year-old Anthony Rapp

So did you try one, or all?

Oh.Fuck.

Just one more thing (not aiming to dominate this thread w/ this topic):

Spoiler

Spacey's response was disgusting, a predator's diversion from the victim's story. And at the same time, I'm really scared of this playing out: https://twitter.com/...859966707720192

You posted a different link I think?

I found Spacey's twitter response in the buzzfeed article:

https://twitter.com/...848412842971136

Maybe we should have a discussion thread on the subject because I don't think Spacey's response is disgusting but on the other hand like you say, I'm not sure how to react to all this.

I posted a different link about a different concern. I didn't and don't care to give his sleight of hand attempt any space.

I am just depressed today. No specific singular reason. But I haven't felt like this in some time. Just want to lie down and not move.

[Mentalist]

Been having random teeth pains for the past few months. I assumed it was just another cavity, big deal.

So today I had my cleaning, I bring it up. Apparently, there's no cavities there, but signs of wear.

Now, I have a messed up overbite- my jaws are basically level. Never been an issue before, and they told me it'd take ridiculous amount of money and heavy messed up surgery to fix (they'd need to carve out a piece of the bone to lodge my lower jaw deeper in). So obviously I said "screw that" back when I was 17 or so.

But now it turns out I might be grinding my teeth when I sleep, and that could be what's causing it.

FML, looks like there's no getting away from this "getting old" BS

[Aptorian]

I had that "grinding your teeth raw" issue some years ago. I just had the dentist coat the areas with this weird minty stuff that solidified as a kind layer on top of the area. Haven't had any problems since. Eventually I imagine it will wear down but it cost next to nothing to apply so I can always do it again.

@Andorion,do you have a summer/winter hour change in your country? Some people are negatively affected by that. I am.

[Gust Hubb]

Totally with you Ando. Right now working on a huge glass of whiskey and smoldering over the day. I am just so exhausted and down lately (trying to get plenty of sleep, but not working so far). This is my favorite weather and season (clouds, cooler weather, wind, occasional drizzle), but I seriously just feel goddamn lonely and blah.

I really do hate being single, not having someone to share my bed with, lacking that feminine company to various holiday events and the like. Gods know I am trying to get out there and be social, but so far just 2 one month flings barely worth a look back. I have (had?) a good friend who hasn't said anything for a week via text (used to text all the time), I am frustrated with my own family in its entirety, I am making friends here, but so far nothing that deep or long lasting (as far as I can tell).

Add to that one anxiety to another. Thought maybe I had HIV feeling so run down and achy (I know, hyperbole). Now freaking a bit about this whole sexual harassment explosion (I really liked Kevin Spacey as an actor too. What a disappointing douche'). Just feel like nothing is straight forward or easy. It all has baggage, it all doesn't last, and it all is cheap and meaningless.

At least the whiskey is cheap and tasty.

Yet another reason I am vegetarian.

[Macros]

On the flip side, I really have sharing my bed with someone (when it comes to sleepy time)
I can't get a good night's sleep if there's someone else flailing around in the bed. Lie still on your side of the bed or get the fuck out

[QuickTidal]

It annoys me that the USA Politics thread got locked down (due to fighting) like a day before the first Mueller investigation indictments came through, and Papadopolous flipped and is singing...

I want to know what people think about this stuff! Ack!

We don't have DST here, but the season is shifting. Its late autumn. cloudy skies, cool winds, quite a change.

Its not the weather I have a problem with. Its just that my days are full of interacting with large groups of people and this exhausts me to the point that I can barely function later. Its mental exhaustion and its draining.

Kid broke his arm yesterday, when another kid shoved him off a stage, at daycare... Seriously... Today I will have to figure out how to deal with that daycare and work with my ex on it. And I am not there in person for my poor kid. The kid will be fine (cast for several weeks but no displacement in the fracture), but he is only four fucking years old. So angry.
