U.S. born and raised. I’ve traveled a moderate amount and have literally never heard this (most of time spent in Mid-Atlantic, Gulf Coast, and Southwest)

The dude is my wife’s gay best friend for life.

In our early days of me dating my now wife, dude was my wife’s roommate. The two of them moved to a larger apartment to better accommodate two people and pets. Guy almost immediately quit his job and stopped paying rent. He contributed nothing to the household (didn’t cook or clean) while also feeding the cat enough treats to make it obese (something that is having follow on consequences years later). He also didn’t eat home cooking, and racked up a massive debt by eating McDonalds almost daily.

His above actions left my now-wife with a drained bank account and in a horrible mental wellness condition. She needed to travel for work, and so as she left, he moved in with his “big farming daddy” on the other coast and I had hoped he was going to be out of our lives forever.

Apparently that relationship didn’t work for him. So he moved back to his parent’s place where he struggled to keep a job. After ~2 years of no job or education/training, he was eventually kicked out of his parent’s place.

And so right as my wife and I finally have a stable working situation with our careers that we could make work for the next 25-ish year (read as: to a slightly early retirement), ol’ boy shows up on our doorstep with <24 hours notice saying he needs a place to stay while he “attends college”…in one of the most expensive areas to live in the U.S…“just out of coincidence”

He is the same age as I am, and I’m having to take my ass who worked through a STEM college degree, a military enlistment, and YEARS of network building to build a stable life for me and my wife and put it on hold for him. We had hopes of an early retirement that are being postponed to ensure this leech has money for gas and food to eat in campus.

So yeah, I hate that bastard. But he’s my wife’s friend and is reasonably charismatic, so no one “gets what my beef with him is”.

Neat. I didn’t know any services like this existed.

Should I be wary of using this while logged in to my Microsoft account?

Just gonna leave this here:

Hour Glass Urns

…and so just to be clear, by pig, you mean a cop, yeah?

Yo, yeah, what’s up with the acorns?

I guess it’s being associated with the sounds of a gun shot?

By the power granted to me by no one in particular:

I’ll allow it.

If only it’d be enforced as such

It almost sounds like you’re implying he’s “big enough” to be “acquainted” with his own holes.

Look there’s places I want to stick my dick and all of them are none of your business (so just assume whichever is worst in your mind).

Boy, I sure do hate that analogy.

But it is the reason I’m registered with a major party vs the one I actually like; I can always have a voice in the one I like, and I want to be able to have my microscopic amount of influence on a larger party. It’s as much of a “have your cake and eat it too” in the less-than-optimal environment of American Politics as I can get.

American here to confirm that @JoBo is basically right.

Some of the smaller parties have “Open Primaries” (which is to say that you can vote for who gets to represent the party in the real election, regardless of your party registration), but the big two (Democrats and Republicans) have “Closed Primaries” which means that if you want to vote for who will be the Dem/Rep candidate in the main election, you have to be a registered member of that party.

If it wasn’t for the 5 ish messaging apps I have to maintain and my recent move to a new city (need maps), I’d try to avoid that one too.

Bruh, that’s how Odium wins though

This is probably a toxic one I learned from my teachers that time I tried learning Korean:

If it feels like you’re drowning it’s cause you haven’t died yet.

I think this post intends to convey that society has done those people dirty too and that we shouldn’t wait until those “millions of people who are in…this same situation” turn into shooters before doing something.
