I certainly dont have deep-seated issues involving birthdays.
Honestly Tim should catch a loving bullet to help that sociopath dickweed see how maybe he wasn't being helpful giving a suicidal person a gun in those last few instants before he bleeds out. How maybe he was an enabler and if he ever even had the slightest fondness for the guy in the past which I doubt he loving did considering how much of a colossal scumfuck he is, he might've done slightly more to help? I mean gently caress its not like the guy had ALS or someshit, its not like he was facing down a decline into alzheimers...

When you've wanted to go for years and nothing gets better... I dunno. I just kinda think it's OK to go. OP's brother wanted to go and Tim said "well there might be a doorway somewhere here." Maybe it's due to my own depression but I'm kind of on Tim's side here.

This might be setting myself up for a grade-a razzing, but i would not care at all if my gf used my razor for any type of shaving at all. In fact she probably does because I leave a spare in the shower. We are way more intimate about things that are more personal than metal strips on a handle, who gives a poo poo. Girl from the story is acting like it was a kitchen utensil or something.
Slightly different, but there are a lot of posts on the internet made by people that have set up boundaries on their own bodies when it comes to showering and I’ll never understand that.

My GF definitely uses my electric hair trimmer for all body parts,and so do I. Yes,I have her pube razor on my face

Weird timing on the suicide story. A dear (also gay, not that it necessarily matters) friend of mine took his own life a few days ago. I found out yesterday when people started posting things on his facebook wall.

My last message from him literally contained the phrase “I was like holding myself together somehow with imaginary glue so I didn't like kill myself lol” (in reference to a vacation he’d taken with his then-boyfriend.) That’s the sort of thing he’d occasionally say though, and nothing else in the message gave me obvious cause for concern so I tried not to panic. He ended with a “we’ll talk soon” sort of thing, after all... Of course, I tried to reach out to him anyway at several points in the intervening 10 days to make sure he was doing OK (and there was little else I could do, as we live many hours apart and I don’t know anyone in his actual, real life) but he never got back to me.

I’m going to feel guilty about not having done more for long enough; I can’t imagine being pleased that I actively facilitated it.


I don’t like you, Tim. I don’t like you at all.

e: My friend became a crisis counselor a few months back. It’s not like he didn’t know the hotline number. I still wish that’d been my immediate reply instead of “I know you’re busy! Get ahold of me whenever. Take care of yourself.”

The weirdest part is that this isn't a case of "gay marriage is legal via the courts and the state never updated the wording of various laws". NC specifically updated their laws to take gay marriage into account...and kept the presumption of paternity stuff:

Of course, it's a very nice thing if you're a lesbian couple conceiving through sperm donation, since then you don't have to go through an adoption process for the non-birthing parent. It's just biting the OP in the rear end here.
Not NC but a friend was going through a divorce and a pregnancy occurred during that process. Since the docket can be so long to get this stuff finalized so long as they were acting as divorced (they were) the judge waved the presumption.

Lost BFs (M24) Childhood Prized Possession

Hi guys. I’m in a real pickle.

I lost my (21f) boyfriend (m24) Nintendo da with about 50 (yes 50) games on it including Pokémon saves he can never get back. I’m devasted and embarrassed and I really hate myself. I once lost his very expensive coat too so I hate that this is ANOTHER thing I lost. I don’t know how to break it to him. I’m scared and cowardly and keep pretending like I’m going to find it. I don’t think he’ll talk to me for a few weeks tbh.

I lost his Nintendo 3DS on the train and it means a lot to him. He recently had money troubles and had to sell all his games - except this one. I fell asleep on the train because I’ve been working going to school commuting and interning and have been completely beat for several Weeks. I forgot that I brought it for a few days. When I finally remembered I forgot to go to the lost and found until after the weekend and they said they didn’t find it so someone definitely stolen it. I saw him this weekend and didn’t tell him. Which makes this worse

As background my boyfriend is a HUGE video game nerd. He’s actually more than that/ it’s his No.1 passion and it means more to him than even me. He’s even going to start his own video game company.

My boyfriend and I have been dating for 2.5 years and we talk about marriage and having kids. But this is big. I have never felt so guilty and useless.

TL;DR I lost my boyfriends prized possession Nintendo DS and I don’t know how to break it to him

Oh wait it isn’t like the chair thing AT ALL. (I like that a 3DS somehow counts as a childhood prized possession.)

I mean yes under perfect conditions there shouldn’t be anything wrong with someone using something of yours on any clean part of their body but that sounds a lot like how elementary physics textbooks assume every object is a frictionless sphere in a vacuum. In this case instead of frictionless spheres you have a butthole.
He's probably going to be making his spheres frictionless with that razor eventually. :quagmire:

If he's 24 then the youngest he possibly could have been was 16 when he got that thing. That's replaceable. Losing the save sucks but if he wasn't backing up that's on him. Portable devices aren't where you store data (unless LoL Switch)

I can understand why that OP's boyfriend might be mad she lost his 3DS but I'm not really seeing a question :confused:

I guess it's "how do I tell him" but it's just tucked right in there at the end, she mostly just made a Reddit post detailing the fact that she's freaking out :shrug:

You wear it on a day when it's borderline whether you need to wear a coat, you take it off in some building, and then you forget to put it back on when you leave

Anything you own can be a "prized possession" if you care about it a lot. With that said it is something that can easily be replaced (minus the saves) so while he has every right to be bummed, if she were to replace it for him then he should also be able to get over it. That girl should definitely rethink how she carries items though, stop losing poo poo your BF lets you borrow!

My dude, that's like saying you can just replace somebody's dog because 'eh, it's easily replaced (minus the personality).' Like, how many loving Pokemon do you think he'd meticulously trained to max level? Building the perfect 6 Pokemon comp? Getting all the right combinations of moves on each Pokemon? The hours upon hours upon hours of rigorous training to become a Pokemon master and beating the Elite Four? All those little Pokemon - his buddies - lost, like tears in rain, and you just want to replace the 3DS and think it's good enough?

This world looks very scary....


I could see an electronic toy having sentimental value if it was given to you by your mom as a last gift before she died when you were young or that you and your dad took turns playing it and it brings back fond memories.

If it is just that he put all this hard work into making 1s and 0s look prettier and he does not want to lose all that work then it is stupid for it to have sentimental value.

That being said this is the kind of gf you never let borrow your stuff because she WILL lose it.
