Consider consulting medical help, because your combo sounds a touch risky. Please don’t add anything else on top of it. Check back in with us tomorrow.

Sorry about the job.

Thank you. i really appreciate your response. i sincerely appreciate women’s independence and their individuality and self-empowerment. I really do.

My dad lost his job recently. Details are stupid, but, suffice it to say, it wasn’t his fault, and his boss has threatened to kill people before. Point is, I think I got more upset than he did about it, so I feel ya.

Of everyone here at the `Dope, there’s a handful of truly great and wonderful people. And I love those of you. You (kind and caring) guys are why i’ve hung-around, and paid my dues. I’ve tried to help out when i can, but mostly I just appreciate what the rest of you offer up -for free- to losers like me.

> But what i’ve learned -just in the last couple of years- is that most of you are just common, pretentious, narrow-minded, potato-heads. You don’t give a shit about people; you only give a shit about saying how great you are, how fucking insightful you (think) you are, and how you can stick a knife in those who don’t agree with you. Well, those of you can suck my limp, dirty-underwear-encased, sweaty dick. Actually, no don’t. You’re not good enough for that. Instead, I’ll offer you to suck my dirty, shit-stained underwear.

> But after saying that, I really and truly wish you all a wonderful and prosperous future. When you grow-up, I hope you realize what a fuckin’ douche you are; that you’re not contributing to society. You’re only bringing it down with your self-righteous bullshit. Just because someone post an option that you don’t agree with doesn’t make them a worthless piece of shit. The worthless piece of shit is the poster that can’t see past their pre-conceived, pigeon-holed, notions of what life is; a mosaic of differences. You could try to be understanding of others, but I realize that’s asking too much. May god, buddha, chuthlu, satan, Aly Raisman, who-the-fuck-ever-that-you-worship, bless you and yours.

Sorry your thread shaming an abuse victim for posing in the swimsuit issue didn’t go to plan.

Wow. Just stumbled on this. Heck, buddy, I’ve felt (very recently) the way you did when you started this thread-- and I was stone cold sober. Sometimes life just sucks. Sorry about your job. I hope you find something better.

Fuck that job. It sucked anyway and the boss was a tool.

Take a day or two, get some fresh air and then find a better job.

Best wishes. Losing a job – even a crummy job – is traumatic. But please ease up on the self medication. People do care about you.

I’ve started threads that went south, and any response from me just made it worse. It’s frustrating and upsetting. I’ve found that the best thing to do is just walk away from the thread and hope it falls off the front page quickly.

Sending warm fuzzies your way **shunpiker**. Sorry about the job–that sucks.

There’s a lotta morons here posing as smartiepantses (hell, I may be one, who knows?), and a few smart people who post like morons. Just roll with it. Way I see it, if I post a lead balloon then I have an opportunity to reevaluate my position and decide whether or not I want to make changes to my worldview, or if I’m still comfortable knowing everyone else is wrong. Either way, other perspectives, even fucked up ones, are useful.
