Should I break up with my girlfriend? We have been dating for close to 2 years and there are some things that have irked me (her lack of care around finances, talks about her exes, super insecure about her looks (complained to me when she was drunk last Friday how no guys bought her drinks, I wasn’t there), has a terrible relationship with her mom and dad and gets upset when I go out for the weekend to hangout with my mom (father died horribly last year and she has been alone). To be continued.

Do you ever just stop and think how we’ve made up this society with items and things of monetary value rather than live peacefully and the fact that we’re too absorbed with our own lives to stop and think of how if we did it together we could actually do it? 🙃

Would you rather get a 50% raise, or get the one that got away back?

After ~20-30 min on a call, I stop paying attention.

LinkedIn is a garbage app where I can’t even post my opinion or experience because it will go against the mainstream ideologies. If I even “like” a post then I worry that my peers and managers see what I like and suddenly I need inclusivity training. What a load of shit! You can’t be who you truly are on that app. Which is why I like fishbowl so much, the anonymity is a game changer. If LinkedIn was a anonymous, we’d see a lot more support for Kanye and a lot less LGBQT material. Bet!

Today I put color-matched silicone around every light switch and outlet in my house, perfectly filling any gaps and elevating my sense self-satisfaction to stratospheric height.

Only you guys know. Shhhhhh

I met this guy online a month ago, we see each other once a week, and I find myself like him a lot, I feel more and more smitten with him (no sex at this point). We are not exclusive, and I think it’s early to have the talk anyway. Another guy matched online asked me out on a date, and I feel guilty about going. Can someone help me overcome the guilty feeling I have? 🥲
