Ok maybe I should have said medical terms or something. I think toxic is a really strong term and sometimes it's used to describe an unpleasant relationship.

That would be funny for all the time Loq has said "Thread title and all" as a solution to a confession.

'Toxic' is a lot like and often hand in hand with 'problematic' where it's almost a weasel word with bad implications but usually used interchangeably with both petty and serious thins to the point where it becomes impossible to tell the severity meant by it.

I have an unshakable obsession with virginity. I know it really doesn't mean anything, but still when I find out a girl I like has had sex it depresses me deeply and I instantly lose interest. Just the fact that they would give themselves to someone like that, it's human weakness. Sex is nothing but a tool to manipulate people. I have had sex but only because it served a purpose. Not reproduction, either. Once you've hosed a person you can control them. People who do it for pleasure are nothing but degenerates and pawns.

My confession is I've been collection a set of weird darkweb sites. Not evil, not sick, just... weird.

There's a community of people who throw up weird 90s geocities style stuff, pranks, etc.

I guess I could post in GBS but so many people assume liking privacy/tor/bitcoin means you're doing something nefarious. Some of us just want to order LSD on the internet and look at weird gifs and find some funny stuff along the way.

Purposefully cropped the habbo one so you don't get dinged for linking to a potential DNM (I didn't enable JS to find out if it worked)

I won't lie, I'd follow the hell out of that thread. Especially deepweb Habbo, that sounds goddamn hilarious.

Also I'm glad the current thread title has been useful, and so quickly at that. I thought it'd be less useful than the previous one, but it seems I was gravely mistaken.

Just to clarify, that anon should see both thread titles but the new one is higher priority

Yeah, that's why I told anon to unionize first

The general strike wouldn't work without a union, this is true, they need a union megabad though


My biggest problem with it was that the prose was garbage

Every chapter read like a bullet-point list of actions. "Wade did A. Wade did B. C happened, so Wade did D. Wade sighed, steeled himself, and did E. Wade did F." It felt like legit culture shock the day I finished it and picked up another book by an actual good author.

It was an interesting premise for a book that Cline should have handed off to an actual writer that actually knows how to write, rather than just cramming as many sweet refs as possible into a book and spending the rest of his life counting money

but I guess it did work out for him so

e: You can rightfully say Ready Player One was bad for many reasons without even having to think about social justice honestly

The second was his idea for a “game” where you got to play the role of someone in a movie. Again, that’s something I absolutely think is going to happen soon enough. Cline is a sexist gently caress though and didn’t consider how to deal with 51% of the population wanting to be the hero without being a guy, but, again, cool idea. I think we will see this in our lifetime - sell people their favorite movies as VR experiences.

Yeah, it's just the tip.

2 years I was in a really bad relationship that ended with her directly getting me fired from my job and her having a miscarriage 5 months into her pregnancy. The entire situation was a nightmare that is in my past now but her getting me fired from job left me completely broke and having to move back in with my parents who live in the middle of no where in the mountains multiple hours away from any area where I could find work again. In order to find work I need to move back into an apartment but i'm completely flat broke so i'm in a catch 22 of not being able to work because there is no where near me where I can work. In order to try and fix my situation i've been teaching myself a skill I can find remote work for in order to save enough money to move so I can work again but ever since my life collapsed I have had the a really hard time getting myself back on track and improve my situation. I know the situation i was in prier broke something in me mentally because I have a really hard time thinking and behaving the way I used too prier to all of this happening, and trying to overcome it so I can get help and fix myself feels impossible almost constantly. I'm not suicidal but I am constantly overcome with this feeling of anxiety and dread about everything and I keep having to tell myself that its all in my head and that its not going to stop unless I keep pursing my plan to fix it. Usually I am good at forcing myself to push through and keep on track with learning and improving my situation but my brain is just constantly loving with me and I can't stand it. I know i'm severely depressed or something else along those lines because I don't think the way I used too and there is constantly this presence in my mind reminding me of how far i've fallen and that i'm useless that I know isn't true. It's not a separate voice or anything like that but it feels like my brain is surrounded by a cloud just slowly poisoning my brain. I just wanted to write this cause I feel that it's probably better to get myself mentally aligned again by writing down my feelings about everything

I’ve been in love with my best friend for almost 20 year and am too much of a pussy to tell her.

I was bullied a lot in school since I was fat, nerdy, and short. The bullying started in 3rd grade and I remember crying after school every day. In 4Th grade Sara moved to our school and became my friend, my only friend back then.

She protected me, helped me grow as a person, and made my life livable. How could I not fall in love with her? In middle school we went to every dance together, she asked me, as I was too scared to ask her. We would dance and she’d lay her head on my shoulder. Those were the best nights of my life back then. I realize now that was the time to kiss her, to ask her out. But I was too scared to lose her, too afraid of a “no”.

In high school we both played trumpet and sat next to each other in band. We’d hang out every weekend, at least at first. Then she met Tony.

She dated Tony freshman year, and started spending weekends with him. Ate lunch with him. I got really jealous and one day told her I saw Tony kissing another girl. “But I could be wrong” I told her. She believed me and talked to Tony, who proceeded to call her jealous and dump her.

Our weekends went back to normal after that. Movies, video games, and just hanging out. I ballooned up to nearly 300 lbs during this time. And Sara was getting chubby, too. That was my goal, I realize that now. Make her undesirable to other guys. It worked for a year or so.

The summer before Senior year, Sara went to a college prep camp. I didn’t see her for 2 months. She came back home having lost some weight and with a new “friend” she met; Greg.

I saw less of her that year, I quit the band and got really into WoW. She would sometimes talk about Greg when we hung out, I’d quickly change the subject.

We went to different colleges, she did better than me in school and got into s much better school. We drifted apart for a few years then, but we kept up on Facebook and texting. She broke up with Greg, got a degree in Engineering, and got a job back home. She also lost all that weight she put on in high school. I failed out of community college, moved back home, and got a job at Arby’s. I’m also 375 lbs.

We became friends again after graduation, just one of those things where you meet back up like nothing happened. We hung out most weekends. She encouraged me to better myself and try and find a better job. And I was about to, but then she met Joe.

She started dating Joe, eventually got engaged, and their wedding is on August 18th.

I was invited and will attend, and I’m finally going to do what I should have done years ago. With Sara I’m focused, a better version of myself. Without her I’m a loving fat failure.

I realize this will be awful for Joe, and I feel bad. He has always been nice to me and dore deserve love. But not with Sara, no way. He met her online, but look at how Sara and I met. That’s a love story, 2 people who met as kids, reconnected, and make each other better.

I fully admit I might cause a scene, how many people actually have objections to a wedding? But her family knows me, and I think they’ll be happy deep down when I do it. Hopefully. I’ve been a pussy for 20 years, time to change that.
