Nothing fancy. Date one after a couple weeks of talking. I made it clear I wasn’t down for physical shenanigans yet. After a drink he got a tiny bit handsy. Second drink, he moved to my side of the table and tried to get very handsy. I paid my half, said I was ready to leave without becoming confrontational. He clearly thought my boundaries had changed with a couple of weak drinks. On the walk to the car, he continuously tried to bully me into kissing him (absolutely not) and then tried to shove me in his car after pressuring me into a hug goodbye. I bit him on the titty and drove home like a maniac.

Since this topic came up another weird substitute for SIB is consuming spicy food. Does not have to be a lot. Maybe give that one a go.

Just go by your middle name. No need to explain to anyone your personal business. Only assholes are going to insist on calling you something non preferred.

I do a lot of play therapy and wear a lot of costumes. Arts and crafts necessitates shiny objects such as gemstones glitter/glue. The photo I think I’m dressed up for some silly hat day thing. I may be a crow.

The local computer repair shop was a little slice of heaven in our rural town. That sounds amazing.

Hmmm make it 17 in 2005, tales of fun lan parties.

I think my first post here someone asked me to tell them about baking lasagnas, maybe because of the way I type. Is it also sort of an insult to imply someone is a bot?

Gossipy people.

Tbh that sounds pretty darn good.

Personally, I prefer wry humor. It’s sort of difficult to encounter in the wild while staying wholesome. Nothing dark and twisted for the sake of it, but wit is somehow comforting in the right place. And clever is so engaging…

So the kind of upset stomach I’m thinking about is like stomach flu. I know you’re not supposed to have acidic or junky things when you’re so sick you can barely crawl, not sure why it’s the only thing I can tolerate when I’m sick. Hence I felt it was a pretty good answer. :p

Trouble is most of them are sickly sweet.

Sad tummy+lemon lime soda = healed

When I see this kind of thing I lean towards communication skills, emotional immaturity, and impulsivity enabled by just sitting behind a screen rather than being face-to-face with someone.

I’ve seen some Reddit-like behavior here, but thankfully not very much, and I personally don’t engage/respond.

We don’t have this kind of policy in my school—this is my job basically . I work with grade level resource and the students with behavior. I have successfully remediated a lot of repeat aggression. As a team we are able to put families into contact with behavioral resources that are school/tax funded. The worst part of the position is honestly just the adults who want them gone. That’s just kicking the can… It can take weeks to bring dysfunctional behavior into under complete control. Sometimes I feel like I’m saving my kids from these awful adults, and not the other way around.

I’d crumble to dust from sad.
