quote:

I peaked in high school. I had a girlfriend, I was in crazy good shape, I didn't need a job, and I was basically prince of our small town. My dad and mom owned the local Dairy Queen, Arby's, laundromat, and grocery store. We were rich, and in a small town, we were basically royalty.

I got drunk after graduation and crashed my car. My parents made all the consequences go away. Or so I thought.

It turns out the crash hosed up my spine. A few weeks later I was screwing around with some buddies at the gym and felt something weird in my back. I went home and laid down and fell asleep. I woke up the next morning and couldn't get out of bed. My parents took me to the hospital. I wasn't paralyzed, but my spine was majorly hosed and I needed several surgeries to fix the damage.

The surgeries took place that summer. They delayed me going in to college. I also was bedridden for about 3 months. I gained almost 90 lbs in that time and became addicted to Vicodin.

My girlfriend left me after I punched her in the face. My parents made that go away so I never faced any real consequences.

When I finally went to college in December I was a fat, angry, pill popping rear end in a top hat. No great shock I failed to connect to anyone socially and dropped out after 1 semester.

My parents let me run the DQ, basically a pity job paying me around 100k a year.

I got a girl pregnant; a teenage girl. My parents had to sell the DQ but they paid her enough to get an abortion, move away, and never press charges. I started working at the laundromat then. 100k a year basically just to do menial tasks.

We were robbed after I forgot to lock up one night while I was collecting all the cash from the registers and the machines. The guy held a gun to my spine, threatened to paralyze me, and had me put all the money into a big bag for him. He called me "fat gently caress" and said I'd "spray crisco out of my bullet holes" if I tried anything. For whatever reason, that really pissed me off.

I swung the bag of quarters at him and hit him in the jaw. I started pounding away and realized he didn't have a gun; just a squirtgun he covered in duct tape. Worse than that, it was my uncle. He explained that my dad asked him to do this; the businesses were failing and he needed to fake a robbery for insurance money and to get sympathy from the community. I believed him and let him go.

I found out that was a lie and my uncle was just a meth head liar who knew this was an easy hit. My dad fired me and cut me off st that point. I started working on my own then.

That was 7 years ago. My uncle is still in jail. My dad died of a heart attack. My mom sold everything off and lived a secluded life as an alcoholic. I haven't spoken to her since Christmas and haven't seen her in person since 2013.

In a moment of extreme loneliness I reached out to the girl I impregnated via Facebook and asked her to forgive me. She told me I had ruined her life and threatened to call the police if I ever contacted her again.

I think about where I went wrong a lot. I work at a gas station. We've been robbed 7 times and I've personally had a gun pointed at me twice. Sometimes I hope they pull the trigger. I live in a lovely town, in a lovely apartment, and I have no life. I developed diabetes recently so I can't even enjoy food. The doctors say I may lose a foot if I don't lose some weight soon.

I tried starting a podcast, a YouTube gaming series, and writing a book. My podcast went out 2 months ago and is sitting at 3 listens right now. My YouTube videos have less than 20 views combined. And I've written one page of my book.

Last night I was feeling especially awful and reached out to my high school gf. She called me an abusive POS and blocked me. She was right to do this but it still hurt.

I don't know why I sent this, nobody can help me. I guess I think of you as my only friends.

Firing you for not getting your uncle arrested seems like an overreaction, but eh

Anyway, my take is you should start working out and eating better. Getting Internet famous is a crapshoot at this point, like, as much as getting real famous is. Don't take that too personally. But you need a goal of some kind to work toward and it seems like getting in shape would help you a lot for multiple reasons.

do it for your foot, bro

NOT POSTING: a list of situations in which someone apparently thinks rape is acceptable

quote:

This is a pretty short confession.

I'm a relatively successful person in terms of employment, family, and wealth. I currently own my own home outright which is valued at over $1mil. I have a loving wife and daughter, and another kid on the way. I've had some support from my family to get where I am, but for the most part it's on the back of my wife and I being very educated and successful, investing well, and buying at the right time.

My confession is this, despite being pretty good at my job, and I have zero interest in really putting much effort into it. I get by doing the minimum, but if I tried, I could do much better. I could tell myself there's a whole bunch of reasons for this, but the real reason is that my family is loaded and eventually I'm going to inherit a poo poo load of money. I love my parents, and wish them both long and happy lives, but when they do eventually pass away, I'll be inheriting somewhere around $10-$15 million.

So, even though I'm earning good money, I also recognize that I won't ever earn the kind of dollars that I'm due to get one day. Adding to that is that I actually loved being a stay at home dad after my first child was born. When my second one comes along, I'm really considering making it a permanent thing and spending the next ten to fifteen years as a full time parent. I wouldn't be comfortable doing that if I didn't know that one day, I'll be wealthy enough to never have to work again.

you should try ruining your life through a series of bad decisions, that'd make you appreciate your job more

Don't be that older guy that goes back to college just to relive their glory days. The young students will think you're weird and creepy and nobody will want to hang out with you, leading you to spiral deeper into your depression. Maybe if you buy them alcohol they'll let you come but they will talk tons of poo poo about you behind your back and if you ever fail to come through for them your "friendship" will be over. You need to grow up and accept adult life for what it is. There are plenty of ways to make it fun. Nothing is stopping you from being in shape, going to parties (albeit different, probably more enjoyable kinds), and banging random women except yourself.

I mean there's worse things to do with your life than being a stay-at-home parent, too, but that's also only going to last so long. Kids grow up! But your goal doesn't necessarily have to be what would make you the most money, it can also be what you personally find satisfying, especially if you and your wife are doing well financially.

If I do go with a standard burial though I guess I'd like to do the tree thing. I like the fact that even stuff like decay is just an explosion of life, so a more tangible representation of that could be cool, but I figure I can have a tree planted either way.

People always seem to think they have magic powers when they have dejavu (much like many think they were possessed/abducted/assaulted by demons etc because of sleep paralysis). You aren't a seer, it's a weird brain thing.

Quoting the gently caress out of this because it is true.
Deja vu is brain lag. Something gets registered in your subconscious slightly before your conscious brain registers it and that's why you have the sensation of experiencing something over again.

From https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/brain-babble/201208/the-neuroscience-d-j-vu

quote:

A similar hypothesis suggests that déjà vu is an error in timing; while we perceive a moment, sensory information may simultaneously be re-routing its way to long-term storage, causing a delay and, perhaps, the unsettling feeling that we've experienced the moment before.

Huff a pile of nitrous oxide. You get a massive deja vu feeling as you regain consciousness due to your senses trying to catch back up with reality.

I don't think you'd be fired for that :shrug:

I dunno, the only part that really parses as weird to me is drinking a beer in the morning. If you feel like you need a beer to face the day that's a sign of depression.

Oh please, if he only does it in the work week that is within the guidelines for low risk drinking, maybe barely above it if he does it on the weekend too. It's a drinking habit, but not a particularly unhealthy one. If he is telling the truth, he doesn't binge drink, hell he doesn't even get drunk. Unless you're a prohibitionist, calling him an alcoholic at risk of cirrhosis is an extreme overreaction.
