I wouldn’t be taking any credit for most of this. This poster would be better served if I could find Leonardo Da Vinci or something and give it to him.

My partners best friend was dating a guy very briefly. She called it off because on day 3 of just getting to know each other he started sending her nudes and rubbing himself with inflated balloons and videos of him humping. That guy has a balloon fetish.
I don’t think the balloons are what killed the short lived relationship so much as the boldness of thinking she wanted those videos/pictures.
If I’m not mistaken it was originally to describe Italian immigrants during whatever period of time (world war 1 maybe?) and it was a acronym for Without Papers. As in not having a visa.
I could be mistaken though, I read that once from one source so not really done any due diligence.
Thank you for that very detailed response. That’s cool as fuck. This isn’t my usual point of interest but I like to dip into a bit of everything so I really enjoyed that read.
You seem to be well versed in the subject, I respect that.
My fiance has been struggling a lot lately with this and it’s taking a toll on me. I’m doing all I can and all I know how to do but it’s getting really hard and exhausting to deal with the constant cycle of abuse and then apology and then abuse and then apology over and over and over again for months. Usually day by day. I...
Strong disagree on people not changing, my partners brother was a heavy alcoholic at 30 and he’s now 5 years sober and has children and hasn’t touched a drop. He relapsed in his first week and nearly died.
People can change, they just have to want to. Of course this isn’t applicable to all but generalising your situation to everyone isn’t helpful to people in these positions.
On the flip side so show that I understand people not changing, her uncle has currently lost his family and maybe soon his job. Every time the kids are due to be with him he’s completely shitfaced and the adult dropping them off refuses to give them to him in that condition and that still isn’t enough for him to want to change. I bet he has seen his own children for over a year. He is constantly lying and we think he owes money to people because he’s usually in a bit of a roughed up state. It’s sad but until he wants it there’s nothing anyone can do.
Her brother is still a testament to the way people can better themselves though.
That’s fair, I’m sorry that you’ve been through what you have, but you made a heavy generalisation that people don’t change, my experience is that they can and do.
If this was in a store at the same price as normal sauce I’d definitely buy it because my partners a huge fan and that way I could get some and it’d be a reasonable price for the nerd shelf.
This means no sales, no themed merchandise, no decorations. December 25 and most other day are treated just like any other day for all stores malls, restaurants, ect....
Again, I feel like I might be a total cynic here. I’ve actually interacted with this profile recently according to upvotes and replies I’ve actually typed myself but there’s nothing confirming that it’s not someone else impersonating Margot robbie. I feel like a tit for calling it out but this hasn’t confirmed anything for me except that this person turned up early to get their username.
I get that, I’d be happy to have Henry here with us. Tbf to us all, I’m closer to technophobe than I am to tech interested but I do agree with what you’ve said. I’ve basically just followed links when Reddit api’s shut down and here I am, so it’s not a far shout for some celebrities to do the same but I’m still not holding my breath.
Hahaha, I can’t hold it that long although if I got a small fortune for it, I’d promise to hold it for as long as humanly possible and to donate any money to a charity of the donors choice.
I do love a hot take, I think I got that from blindboy though. His hot takes are chefs kiss
What I never understood about twitter was actually seeing what people say. Unless I follow them I don’t see their messages and I don’t know who to follow for the most active and enjoyable content, that was my main issue for twitter.
