Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

That reminds me. I ordered Uber eats and the driver, a black girl, drives up and it's hysterical. She's telling me how her last delivery was a racist PoS, threatened cops on her, and she's so sorry about my order but angry about the situation. I'm just standing there hungry for my food.
We sat on the porch and I let her calm down, then I dont know why, but I asked if she wanted a hug. She was taken back but she agreed, and it was a super weird hug. But she felt better I think. I dunno.
I just had a mental image of an awkward hug while shoving french fries into your face over her shoulder and fuckin lost it.
Resonate this super hard, and I'm in the second camp.
Everything seems to set me off at home. I just want to rage against everyone and it's fucking shameful.
Sometimes it’s just as simple as changing your perspective a little.
My uncle has pretty bad anger issues. Almost every workday he’d have to drive downtown, usually when the traffic was the worst (and he hated downtown driving to begin with), and he’d get super stressed and rage about it. He’d try to make it so he didn’t have to go downtown, but almost without fail something would come up and he’d be stuck doing it.
He told me he realized it wasn’t healthy, so he tried fixing it by changing it from thinking of it as ‘goddamnit I have to drive downtown again after I tried so hard not to!’ to ‘oh well, have to do my daily downtown trip’. And then when he occasionally didn’t have to go downtown, it became sort of an extra bonus treat.
He was amazed at how much anger he lost, just with a small change in thinking.
Knowing that is half the battle
I know fixing that is quite complex but my friend started kick boxing and it really helped her. Sometimes it helps to simply let the negative energy out so it doesn’t eat you alive and then you can see more solutions with a clear head
The best way I've found to deal with deep dark rage without collapsing into a broken ghost is to focus on gratitude. Thinking on your blessings can be the antidote to the poison of anger.
What's a home fries? Isn't fries just short for french fries? I don't speak american
I think home fries is when you cut the potato in cubes and wedges (the recipe says 1 inch chunks) and then fry them.
Almost. Home fries, in my area, are flatter. So 1*1 square but 1/2 to 1/4 tall.
We just call those chunky chips.
Isn't that called "country potatoes"?
WAAAAY better than the fantasies I see posted of revenge for someone’s behavior. It’s possible to be the bigger person and still not tolerate bad behavior.
So did she get a hug?
Asking the real question
Actually that's sexual assault. You can still ask if she's okay without threatening her with sexual assault.
Asking for consent is now sexual assault?
Got it, so don't ask first right?
Hey! You dropped this 🧠
I've been looking for that for ages. Cheers.
What part of !asking! if they want a hug makes it sexual assault? What part of a hug is sexual???
This type of person probably thinks two guys hugging is gay. I'm straight but I'll take a hug from anyone. I love hugs.
If a hug is sexual assault, then all kids are sexual predators 😂
It isn't assault if you get permission first. WTF.
Even if you count a hug as sexual assault, that wasn't a threat like I'll hug you if you don't shut the fuck up, it was just an offer of a hug.
Do you need a hug?
Potentially, A/S/L?

Damn, you're right. I am talking to the internet. It really is that bad.
Hug = sexual
Asking = assault
Okay, buddy.
I love this site LoL. The people here are all the dumbest parts of Reddit, Tumblr and twitter rolled into one glowing repository of stupidity.
Certainly on the bigger instances. If you go off the beaten track a little bit you tend to fund the old small subreddit experience. You know all the ones that are about cats in trees or wood working.
Those niche subs aren't worthwhile here yet. They're just filled with losers who insist they're 100% right about everything all the time or they're losers with nothing better to do than sit online and troll.
I am studying, this is my Pomodoro rest activity. However, I am definitely a loser, you've got me there.
Yeah you mean the ones with 0 comments on every post?
maybe make some comments and get a conversation flowing
