Just want to vent how I feel jipped by my friends - especially when it comes to trips where we book airbnbs. They back out last minute and no one else wants to cover the costs evenly when I ask. Trying to be the bigger person since some of these are unavoidable (injury and Covid and etc) but just feel shitty it’s always me who picks up the tabs. If it were me I don’t ask for my money back or at least be willing to evenly split

Is it possible to love someone in a romantic but “non sexual” way?

Not to say by any means that sex is ruled out, but instead of sexually fantasizing about them, your primary drivers for loving them are who they are as a person, similar life journey etc, and that you would love to have a future with them?

Stupid appraiser under appraised my condo by 25k from the agreed upon price. Realtor disputed, and she texted me that condo finally got the fully appraised (500k). However, 2 days before the closing, my lawyer calls me that buyer says he is pulling out of the deal if I don’t lower price to appraised price by 25k because property was under appraised and he didn’t pay attention when he signed the docs. He claims he doesn’t have extra 25k to put down to make the math (contd)

I look forward to the one-on-one that I have with my manager with the same amount of enthusiasm that I typically reserve for colonoscopy prep.

Why aren't there similar classy comfort wear options for men as there are for women? I too want the ability to bare my arms and legs in the summer, and wear those slipper mule loafers with no backs. 😭

The conservatives want to cut off all access to abortion so that more kids are born and enter the school system for them to use as target practice with their AR-15s and glocks.

Anyone else super unmotivated atm and procrastinating because you’re unappreciated/underpaid, and 100% over your job but you haven’t found the right offer to leave yet? 😩😵‍💫
