My ex works for me (at my law office) so I suppose I get along with exes too. I was a real shitstorm when I was younger but I’ve learned how to not be an insecure wreck since.

The nature of my relationships is very passionate, whether is dinner, dancing, doing it, or dropkicking each other the gently caress out of each other’s lives. In general I try to make things work and find compromise, which means that when the relationship is over, it’s because we’ve exhausted every possible option and are still left wanting, which leads to unpleasant feelings of resentment and nasty break ups. Every time I’ve tried to dump someone in my life I was talked back into giving it another shot, so while my relationships last a while, when they are done, they are done. A big, big part of that is moving on. I can’t get over someone if I’m still hanging out or texting them. Sever, cut loose mutual friends that aren’t that important, and block every social media page. A complete purge is seriously better for both of your mental health, IMO.

Seconding. Sever completely. In 6 months or whatever you will have the perspecrive to know if the person is worth your time to be friends or not. You dont have that perspective after a breakup

quote:Today was the first day in almost a decade that I did not drink before or during work. Congrats! One day at a time, keep it up  quote:I've gotten lots of compliments from ex-girlfriends and female family members about how I always remember to keep the toilet seat flipped down and the lid closed. I smile and tell them about that Mythbusters episode where they showed that flushing the toilet with the lid open sprays toilet water all over the room, and how it really had an effect on me. I usually put the seat down too because I was a very stubborn and resentful child and I reasoned that that way everybody had to open the toilet back up again the next time it was used, rather than the entire stewardship of all toilet-seat position being put on dudes for no particular reason (which is ironically misogynist) -- oh wait I just read your second paragraph, gross If flushing the toilet with the lid open gets water droplets everywhere I shudder to think how many pure pee droplets you're getting all over everybody's toothbrushes by peeing in the sink, but one of the big secrets of modern science is that basically everything is covered with poo poo all the time anyway so yeah y'know what still please stop doing that

It’s not misogyny it’s practicality. Let’s say you have a man and woman who piss and poo poo equally throughout the day. The woman literally never has to touch the toilet seat, so why shouldn’t it fall on the dude to reset the position when he is the only one who needs to gently caress with it?

I just put the lid down because I hate looking at the water that people pee and poop in. It's just preference.

I keep the toilet seat cover down all the time because my apartment is so tiny that I have to use the tank lid as a shelf for shaving cream and stuff, and if the cover were open I'd be constantly knocking things into the toiletloquacius posted:If flushing the toilet with the lid open gets water droplets everywhere I shudder to think how many pure pee droplets you're getting all over everybody's toothbrushes by peeing in the sink, but one of the big secrets of modern science is that basically everything is covered with poo poo all the time anyway so yeah y'know what still please stop doing that Now I'm curious if peeing into the toilet from a standing height splatters more pee/toilet water into the air than peeing into the sink from presumably a few inches above the basin. I bet you could write a paper on it and get it published in some journal of public health

Teaching women that the toilet seat is not something they should ever have to touch or adjust in any way is why the toilet seats in public women's rooms are always completely unusable They think "I don't know what's happened on that toilet seat, so I'm not using it" but they don't also think "if I'm not using that toilet seat I should put it up" and then they get pee all over the seat, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy Also if someone leaves the lid open while the toilet is not in use and you have shelving over your toilet it increases the odds 100% that your medication is going to fall in there at some point, ask me about this

I like to leave the seat down when I pee so I can mark more territory. I hope your urine soaked buttocks spreads my scent far and wide.

If you always put the toilet seat in the position you need it to be in before you use it, it will always be in the right position for you.

Plus if you have cats you have to keep the lid closed, because they are stupid enough to try to drink from the toilet, fall in and drown. Lastly, an open toilet is unsightly. I close the lid for aesthetic as well as practical reasons.

You should be putting the lid down before you flush or you're getting poo-mist everywhere.

The idea of "if you leave the toilet seat up, I might not notice and fall in" doesn't really occur to men who've been single awhile, because you're used to having to check the toilet seat's position. (Even in large public restrooms, since at peak times people might be going into the stalls to piss.) Putting the lid down inconveniences both men and women equally, which is a lovely egalitarian solution but probably won't win you any arguments over putting the seat down after you piss.

Checking the seat in a public bathroom is less about the position and more about not wanting to sit in the piss some feral gently caress left there because they didn't bother to lift it up.

I almost never put the toilet seat down. I just kinda tell my girlfriends/whoever that I do it so they know I wasn't pooping. Win/win for everyone!

I used to just do whatever, but since I learned that if you flush a toilet with the lid up instead of down, you get fuckin feces and piss spread all over your bathroom, and my toothbrush is like a couple meters away, I habitually just drop the lid before flushing.

Also can I just say as a 30 year old man I have never in my life pissed on the seat intentionally, not have I ever in my life pissed on the seat and not cleaned it immediately afterwards. Sometimes when I’m using a public restroom it gives me anxiety to think the person responsible for this catastrophe is somehow out there, driving a car or potentially owning a gun, but they can’t seem to manage the most bare bones common courtesy known to man.

Everything is always constantly covered in poo poo all the time, stop letting pee molecules determine how you peequote:I went through one semester of college right after I left high school, and it was a disaster on about a million levels. Family poo poo, my own undiagnosed/untreated mental illness, the whole shebang. I've thought about going back, but it freaks me out. I mean, plenty of people make a living out of grifting spacey white people, but the college itself is probably also a grift so I wouldn't go spending my life savings on it if I were you I don't think anyone goes to get a tarot reading and stops to think "wait, I don't think this tarot reader has a degree from a metaphysical university that is accredited through the American Alternative Medical Association" Followup from divorced goon who got a weird call from his ex: quote:More of a response than I expected, so I'll clear a few things up. Excellent response, I think everyone involved is too old for head games

Reiki works in the sense that it feels good to lie down on a table and have someone pay attention to you for an hour. It doesn’t work in the sense that it fails to make your health problems go away, and selling it to people as a treatment makes you a very bad person. I am reiki certified and spent two years training under some of the most serious Reiki instructors in the US, and while I really enjoyed the experience, I know longer practice it because basic meditation does most of the same thing without the doofy hand movements. Tarot is fine, it’s like a fun wacky thing to do for people with disposable income.
