Run for office

I feel thisssss also super scared of Mount Everest though I'll probably never climb it....which makes me want to climb it oddly but at the same time I have nightmares about it. I remember watching this documentary about this group of dudes who went up and suddenly a blinding blizzard came out of no where and they ended up losing a dude and another broke his leg. The one dude who was still about to walk got the one with the broken leg to their camp then continued down for help. Throughout the night at the camp the guy with the broken leg could hear his buddy screaming for hours through the night. They didn't find his body till years later I think and he had fallen in a crevice. Story still creeps me out, sad as heck but like I don't know Mount Everest is scary yo

I'm currently re-reading A Letter In the Scroll by Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks to get used to how to writes again before reading To Heal a Fractured World. I avoided reading like the plague for most of my life, making a habit of doing anything at all except sitting down to read a book. I'm finally willing to get through the decade-long backlog of books that were recommended to me 😂 But I definitely don't have the attention span for it yet, that's for sure

What do you think the best course of action the public can do when it comes to DTrump and his circus of an administration. Peaceful protest doesn't work and rioting just makes you look bad. What can you do when being civilized AND rightfully angry doesn't work?

Just finished Tender is the Flesh. The ending was anticlimatic for me, but otherwise was a good read.

How did most those jobs end? You quit? Get fired? ...does this happen to other people you know? Or is it always just mostly you? . . . .

A family member was doing some landscaping, and we were watching like idiots, well he pulled down a big ass poison vine off a tree, and the spores gave everyone in the vicinity poison ivy on their face but me. Which as a *** who liked playing in the woods, felt like unlocking a new skill in a video game cause then I could go anywhere x'D

upwards of 20 since 2011 Good question, I'm glad you asked. The typical things you hear of: icky pictures, standing by my car waiting hours, home invasion, physical touch like grabbing, finding weird reasons to rub up on me, standing extremely close for no reason, once a boss spammed FT calls to my stolen iCloud email address so he could "show me something," aka his private things, gifts in my mail despite never giving my address, paying someone to illegally get into my electronics and succeeding, photographing and video recording me without permission, approaching fellow co-workers with investigative questions and them me telling them about it, finding out my cell phone number from other people, spreading inappropriate false rumors, approaching me with menial distractions while I'm clearly busy. I really could go on forever, I'm an older gal, I have plenty of instances to devolve in. Just trust me that I can tell the difference between friendly flirting and obsessive, I've been around enough. I don't like to be touched. I don't hug, which would suggest I do, and I make it clear I need personal space. Saying I slept with them or other types of things when it never happened. They tell me fantasies of an imaginary life they daydream about with me. I've tried tactics like HR, asking politely, asking impolitely, asking with hostility, having talks about boundaries, avoiding. Ignoring is all I would do and it doesn't work. I figured out that so many people would be disgusted with what they'd hear about me from the grapevine, knowing that it's likely untrue, and instead of calling that person out, they'd come to me. You really have to ask for help from people. HR does not work as intended, if you research the purpose of that department, it is not to protect employees, but the employer. This is why people get fired, they have that misunderstanding of HR's expected best interests. The only times I'd have moments of joy at work was when the obsession in that person would stop. And I'd only have those moments when I'd kindly ask that instead of coming to me with the info, shut it down right then and there. Most people are on board for this kind of thing because it's like, "well she gave me permission to defend her." It's super nice. See #2 All I mean by that is they are daydreaming too much and putting me on a pedestal despite not knowing anything deep about me.

the thought of natural disasters freak me tf out, like, being in a big ass building and being caught in an earthquake, or a tsunami. Which are both completely unrealistic considering I live nowhere near the ocean and I don't think there's a building over 4 stories for at least 100 miles. And aliens. They aren't coming in peace bro, they're coming for bootys.

Lol I’ve always said that alcohol tastes like a cleaner, like something you would clean your house with. The taste reminds me of the smell of it if that makes sense. Nasty.

How many jobs have you had in the past? How did they "prey" exactly? How did they "create drama out of a fantasy" exactly? "I am smart so I would just recruit well-liked people to verbally shame them" - Huh? What "unwanted interactions" are you speaking of? "benefits nobody except their disgusting minds" - What do you mean by this?

The words that are censored are only bound to increase, and providing a list of them would be counter productive.

Every single job I've ever had in the past (and it's a lot), without fail, I experienced creepy, always older men preying on my during my shift. Definitely felt unsafe, asking security to walk me to my car, etc (inner-city). 100% scared to lose my job as punishment, as they'd create drama out of fantasy. I am smart so I would just recruit well-liked people to verbally shame them. I've found it's probably the only type of message that gets through to these gross stalkers. Shame. That's it. Ignore them yourself, let his respect across the team dwindle until he/she learns that clearly verbalized unwanted interactions are against the peace of society and benefits nobody except their disgusting minds.

Not necessarily an error, but I am new to navigating this site and I can't find a list of censored words. Can I have an idea of what words other than the obvious would make **** appear? Thought about it too, what about gifs that have young faces in them? Thanks for explaining!

Bruh, you're so right. Alcohol tastes what I imagine straight up poison to. Wine tastes like taint. It says something that when I do shots of spirits, I have to look at and focus on something else, anything else, I frequent wood or marble counter patterns. If I don't, could be pukesville. I am way funnier to everyone when I'm drunk and I like how it feels to be in a better mood so that's why I occasionally partake in shots despite it tasting like poison. This *****'s reaction is similar to the face I make sometimes downing the dark stuff.

would 100% recommend finishing (as much as george makes possible, anyway) the asoiaf series, they’re some of the greatest fantasy books i’ve read! although i will admit to skipping certain chapters on re-reads, not all of the characters are my favourite.

Does it ever happen when you try to sleep?

I had to get a root canal before. I was scared before I had to get it done but after, it wasn’t bad at all. They did a great job and I didn’t feel anything. They numbed me obviously but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be.

Working on getting through Vietnam War history.

I'm afraid of tooth pain - so in reference to your post @McFly - I look forward to the dentist for that reason. Small pain at the dentist to avoid horrible pain later.

Being married to a beautiful human.

Just remembered another thing. I have a rare form of tinnitus where I hear my heartbeat in my right ear. It ends up being more of a whooshing noise, kinda like the noise and ultrasound makes! Had a lot of tests etc. and it's not life threatening or anything, just something I've had to get used to. It comes and goes at different intensities.

Whats brown and sticky? A stick.

I’m afraid of spiders and snakes. Maybe not as much as I used to be but I still don’t want them near me. I also have a fear of being burned alive or dying from an explosion.

What are you all afraid of? Have you faced your fears, or are you still working through them? I'll go first: I'm going to the dentist today for a cleaning. I used to be really scared of it, but that changed after I had some major dental work done last Christmas—literally on Christmas Eve. It wasn’t fun at the time, but it was so worth it. Now I actually look forward to going. My dentist is super funny and laid-back, which helps a lot, and the nurses are always kind and reassuring. That fear I used to have? Not completely gone, but definitely not in control anymore. So, how about you—what fear have you faced, or are still facing?
