There was an intervention at my apartment last night. My friends joined forces to confront our youngest friend about his relationship with his gf. I'm gonna call him Kyle. All of us believed Kyle was in a toxic relationship based on how many times his gf blatantly cheated on him. I mean, she's shamelessly tried to hook up with almost all of us, including me. Now before I get to the outcome of the intervention, I need to explain why I feel like I fucked up. I was the person who suggested an intervention. I was joking at the time, but then the group nodded in agreement. The group voted that I should invite our friend to my apartment because I had the strongest relationship with him. I reluctantly agreed and eventually invited my friend over without telling him it was gonna be an ambush, albeit an ambush with good intentions. As soon as Kyle arrived at my apartment and realised what was happening, he opted to leave, but I encouraged him to at least hear us out. Kyle decided to s...

I stand in the TSA line reeking of cheap boxed wine as I type this. I got a ride from my father to catch an early flight for a business trip. I still live with my parents, and our regional airport is a relatively brief 20 minute drive away, so I didn't feel horrible asking this favor. I appreciate his help greatly; even greater now, after the event detailed in this post. During our short drive to the airport, I feel waves of nausea rolling over me. That wine I drank isn't agreeing with me, was my first thought. Despite this, my first instinct was denial. Surely it's just my nerves; I have a flight to catch, a training to attend, many new people to meet, its just my new job, it's just my nerves. This is what's running through my mind as I gradually participate less and less in the idle chit chat that my father was engaged in, until that point, with me. Any notion of denial was quickly dispelled by the taste of cheap wine in the back of my mouth. Before I could spe...

this happened yesterday and my spine is still sending me legal threats. i’m an 18yo law student. my life is usually lectures, thick textbooks, and unsuccessfully trying to look like a functional human being. a few weeks ago, i got two rats. one is a chill “don corleone” who looks like he’s seen a few gang wars, and the other is a 1-month-old baby who has the energy of a crackhead on a sugar rush. i’ve been terrified to introduce them. i spent hours on subreddits and forums. everyone said the same thing: "be careful. they might bite. it could be a bloodbath. beware of the death ball." i was prepared for a goddamn gladiator arena. i had gloves ready. i was in "serious mode." i set them up on my bed. i’m sitting there in my hoodie, tense as a string, watching for the first sign of a "death roll." the baby starts doing laps like he’s in the olympics. he’s popcorn-jumping everywhere, sniffing the old guy's butt, basically being a tiny, furry annoying b...

So I use the Brave browser, and have for years... though this FU would have happened with any decent ad blocking extensions on others I expect. So my wife had found this app via some ad on a game she was playing - just an app which lets you read stories, which are seemingly all standard bad romance stuff written by relatively unknown authors. She got quite invested in one, but of course the app at some point wants you to spend "tokens" to be allowed to carry on which means either waiting a day or two, watching loads of ads, or (of course) spending money. Me, being somewhat cynical and aware that they likely scrape this content from elsewhere, decided to try to find this particular author/story in a more original form, so went spelunking into the bowels of the Internet. And after a bit of searching about, I found a site which had not only that author and story, but plenty more! And it was all free! So thinking I was earning valuable brownie points, I forwarded a link to m...

TIFU installed LED bulbs in my Garage Door opener Obligatory this didn’t happen today but sometime back in 2018. Both bulbs had burnt out in my garage door opener sometime in the summer of  2018 so I replaced them with the spare LED bulbs I had on hand. Things were working Ok but the range wasn’t what it used to be. At that time I had also reprogrammed my remotes (didn’t want my soon to be ex to be able to access my home through the garage), added a wifi bridge to be able to open via app and have a log of when the garage opened, and installed a ring spotlight cam above my garage to also have a video record of who came and went through my garage. I’m in central Canada and winter came and as it got colder my garage remote became less and less reliable. I tried disabling the wifi bridge and ring camera but that made no difference. I reprogrammed the remotes again and had no luck. I bought new remotes but it was also getting warmer again so my remote started working better again. ...

I saw my coworker for the first time this morning since going on a date with one of her friends. For those of you who missed my original post , my coworker encouraged me to go on a date with her friend. In fact, she set the whole thing in motion. The date, however, did not go well. I thanked my coworker for trying to keep my love life alive before begging her to stop trying because her friend and I were not compatible whatsoever. My coworker said I didn't have to explain because her friend said the same thing. She said her friend shared the following about me: Pros: I paid for the date. My freckles did most of the heavy lifting, but I was fuckable enough. I'm Cancerian. I'm tall. I'm funny. Cons: I'm uncircumcised, which was not a deal breaker per se, but uncut dudes gave her PTSD, post traumatic smegma disorder. My "bromance" with our waiter was cute at first, but then it eventually made her feel like the third wheel, which was ...
