How's your Sunday going r-slurs?

It's characterised by something like using whatever word has the most syllables for a particular thing plus frequent and incorrect use of 'self' words. e.g.:

Normal way: 'I saw someone talk to two women over there, then he crossed the street and talked to me.'
Talking to a policeman way: 'I saw an individual speaking with two females there and then he proceeded over the street and spoke with myself.'

Why do people do this. Is it police jargon emulation? An attempt at formal speech?

i got a raise so i'm moving out of my mom's basement dad's spare bedroom into a camper in a mobile home park keeping my expenses low so i can keep dumping money into investments almost everything can use electric but the stove needs propane to run frick that the previous owner used an ancient hot plate from the 80s to avoid using propane but it's dirty as heck and the coil design makes it hard to clean i thought about just buying a hot plate from walmart but the reviews almost unanimously say they're technically warming devices that take ages to heat things and don't last for very long trying to look up products just returns SEO affiliate link slop so i'm turning to the very smart and frugal people of rdrama to give me the best product for fakepoorcelmaxxing

must be:

• big enough to put a 12 inch skillet on

• hot enough to boil a big pot for pasta

• durable enough for me to use it every day

• flat top for easy cleaning

E: God I hate this website and the awards bullshit. The drug is N A L T R E X O N E

I drink a lot but not to addiction amounts, but enough that it is a past time and something my wife and do out of boredom. Lately I've been concerned about the amount I drink and found one of Katie herzog's substack articles about how she quit drinking all together with Naltrexone which is a pill that dulls your dopamine response to alcohol, making it so it's not as enjoyable anymore by your brain's response.

More importantly essentially a pill that helps you to limit your drinking while not making you quit for good if you don't want to.

I've been on Naltrexone for about 2 months using the Sinclair method and have gone from 3 drinks a day (and more on the weekends with occasional ride calling drunkenness) to about 1 every two or three days. I think I'm going to keep with it to see how far it goes bc while I'm not an addict, it's just plain healthier to avoid drinking or drink much less.

I suggest everyone at least look into it..

So I got married a few months ago, and my wife's twin sister has been ever sense. They're very close, and when they were both single career women at 30 it was probably easy to face the wall together. Now that I've stolen her sister from her, she's hit it hard and I hear about it every week.

Being a good wingman, I asked my entire friend circle of 3 married men. Sadly, I was unable to find anyone willing to ditch their families to date a woman on the other side of the planet.

Yesterday, my wife asked me to "ask the drama website you like so much" for help.

I mean, sure? Maybe someone on here knows what dating apps asian women are using these days to get green cards find love.

Is this a first?

Previously, I had declared my feelings of affection to a female friend of mine (let's just call her Sarah because her name is Sarah). The feelings were not reciprocated, but she let me down in a weird way, she spoke about how she doesn't know how she feels, but she's not looking for a relationship at the moment. She embraces the asexuality meme which is partially how we ended up being friends.

More recently, I decided to give it another shot but to be more tactful this time. I told her I don't think I'm asexual anymore, and that I want to be in a relationship. Once again, she reiterated that she doesn't know how she feels and that a relationship isn't what she wants. Nevertheless, as always, she was nice about it and continues to actively pursue my friendship and constantly tells me she loves me.

At first, this confused me. However, I think I have some of it figured out. I have learned a bit about women and human relationships in general from this experience, and I'd like to share some of the reasons why it's almost certainly a bad idea to pursue your female friends. Now, of course there will be exceptions. Sometimes your female friend genuinely does like you and you'll have a romcom moment. My point is that that's probably not the case, and while you may view the friendship with rose-tinted glasses, she sees things totally differently.

1. They're used to it

Since they started developing breasts, women have been the center of sexual attention. It comes from all angles including older men, teachers, family members, and even other women. At some point, they get used to it and it becomes background noise. "Yes, he's ogling my breasts but I need to finish scanning my groceries".

The sexual attention also comes from male friends. You're NOT the first male friend to express romantic emotions, and you won't be the last. She's turned all of them down, what makes you think things will be different with you? She's used to it, she probably saw it coming, and she doesn't want it. If she did, you wouldn't have to ask because she'd make it obvious to you that she's romantically interested.

Now, there is the possibility of misreading signals, which brings us to the next point.

2. Women genuinely have platonic feelings

This is not to say that men are incapable of having platonic relationships. Nay, that is not my point. My argument is that it is much harder for men to do so. People shit on Steve Harvey but he was 100% correct when he said the following:

Things aren't the same with women. They can genuinely love you deeply without any sexual or romantic feelings. Why is this? Women don't have to deal with the famine mentality. For many men, s*x and love are scarce resources, so when it even vaguely seems like there's an opportunity for it, the feelings come on strong. Hence the cliche of "the cashier smiled at me now I want to marry her". (Most) women aren't leading you on intentionally when they allow intimacy into a friendship. That's the way friendships should be. But it doesn't mean she wants anything sexual or romantic.

3. You're in love because you're lonely

This is probably the crux of the issue. When you're starving, even a mud pie looks delicious. As men, you will face long stretches of loneliness and never being told you're beautiful, attractive, or worthy of anything. Inasmuch as catcalling and sexual objectification should be chastised, it at least serves as some kind of validation of one's attractiveness.

A friendship with a woman can bring about those feelings of validation within men and if you're not ready for it, it's going to develop into obsessive love. If you had higher self-esteem, more experience with women, or a source of love, your friendships with women would be completely normal and platonic. It's when these elements are missing that any smile, hug, or eye-gaze turns into fantasies of marriage.

When she inevitably turns you down, what are you left with? Nothing yet again. Nobody to say they love you or assure you that you are wanted in this world.

Things get more complicated if you're an introvert. Most relationships seem useless unless you're benefitting considerably. In your mind the thinking is "I'd only put this much effort into a relationship if I had romantic feelings". Whereas if the woman is an extrovert, it isn't costing her much mental energy to maintain the relationship. I hope that make sense.

4. She knows already

Don't bother. She already knows you like her. She accepts that as part of the cost of the friendship. That's not a bad thing. It means there's something good about you that she wants in her life even if its not of the romantic nature. You should be flattered by this even if it is heartbreaking at times.

Some women are a bit mean with this. They essentially get everything they would get from a boyfriend (someone to talk to, someone to take care of them) without the need to commit. But that's not always the case. In my case, Sarah goes out her way to be nice to me and to spend time with me. She's not using me for anything - a genuine, platonic friendship is all she wants. It's hard for my brain to wrap my head around it. I thought it was obvious that she felt something. Maybe I had to take the lead and break the ice? Nah, I'm convinced she knew ages ago I liked her but loved me enough to still be my friend despite not sharing romantic feelings.

5. You may lose everything

Life is about taking risks so I don't want to stress this point too much. However, if she doesn't already know and you spring it up on her, she may never trust you again and you will lose all the intimacy of your friendship. She will remain guarded around you, and perhaps even think of you as a slimy coomer who tried to use friendship to get into her pants. Shit can get brutal.

I've been lucky to have an understanding friends who has continued to be nice to me. I know that this isn't the case for everyone, and it also depends on how you respond to the rejection.

CONCLUSION

Heartbreak is one of the worst feelings to experience. It's like a knife constantly twisting in your chest. But it's part of life for most of us. A lucky few will find high-school sweethearts and never have to play the dating game, but for most of us, we're going to get rekt a couple times before we find the right one (if we ever do). Please, for the love of god, don't go looking for a girlfriend from your female friends. There's a difference between a girl friend and a girlfriend.

I'm probably preaching to the choir, and this may be obvious to most people here. But I know there are some autists who may need to read this to spare themselves the heartache I went through. The funny part is that if you're in love, nothing I write is going to change anything. You'll think your case is different. You'll try your luck. And you'll get rekt. But don't let me stop you. Some mistakes are meant to be made.

I know the asexuality meme isn't true. One day, she'll find a guy she likes (not me) and all that asexuality shit will disappear. And when it happens it will hurt like heck. However, I'm prepared, and I'll still be her friend. I'm wiser now thanks to the mistakes I've made. Thanks for reading.

Ladies, now that I have your attention: dm me

The bad news is that I am still a fat frick.

The good news is that I can now fast for 48 hours at a time and follow that up with still maintaining a calorie deficit in my diet.

My capabilities continue to improve.

I am assuming this puts me in the high willpower category.

For my next trick I learn to follow an organized routine every day.

Wish me luck boys.

There was a drama mod who I think had the screen name OhHamburgers. He ended up meeting his wife through r drama and they bonded over sharing racist sentiments (serious). She had his baby a year or two ago. It was an odd pairing because he was a city boy who ended up becoming a night time repairman and she was a very small town girl who ended up working in big tech. They kind of permenantly logged off after having a baby, from everything I've heard.

Does anyone have connections to updates on them?

I started smoking again a few days ago, I've been good mostly so far but woke up early this morning and couldn't help to light one up when I was putting on my boots outside my front door (mud covered). Feels like I just can't get it right, I'm poor with basically nothing to my name. At least I have my dog and weed, and my gf can shred on the washboard. Wonder what'll happen next, is that the spice of life?

You may have noticed that I didn't sperg my lane assist car video thing the last two Sunday evenings.

Well, I've really been putting my nose to the grindstone and getting some work done with it. Recorded the rest of the footage, even managed to install the darn mirror in the car and get it working again!

Isn't that exciting? Isn't it?

So now I have the video 95% completed. It's organized, trimmed, all I need to do is finalize the background music and record an outro.

Guess what?

I hate it.

I sound like an neurodivergent robot, the visuals are distracting, some parts go too fast, some too slow, and it's frontloaded with way too much

So I get to scrap it and try again, reusing as many assets as possible because holy shit I've been working on this for six months and have nothing to show for it. I do know that I'll move the 'print settings' to a separate video because really, how important is that for the average casual youtube boredbrowser?

I guess enjoy this "final failed draft" in its entirety. Idk.

!cemmenters !friendsofxirabolt !autismos

i've never been a social person because i've always been totally content riding solo instead of putting up with people and their endless bullshit. i'm not depressed, lonely, sad, anything i'm totally chill
