Everyone else is downvoting for AI slop, but I’m downvoting for the fact that it is nowhere near a $45,000 breakfast. Unless that wine is the actual blood of Christ, I’d be surprised if this breaks $2000. Do better. /s

- Comment on Do some rich people date "poor" people? 3 days ago:
She has several conditions, but since she doesn’t have a job, her insurance sucks, which has made it a lot more difficult to get government assistance. She declined quickly over the last several years, so she went from having a stable job that paid much more than mine to suddenly being completely unable to manage her daily life. For the first year of unemployment, a lot of time was wasted with medical professionals who thought she just needed to work out her legs more and get back to work. It has been an adjustment, but we’re working on it.
It is somewhat of a long process of seeing loads of doctors, trying to get things on paper that qualify for disability, and then applying and seeing if it sticks. Because many of her problems are exceedingly rare and poorly understood, it has not been easy to get definitive diagnoses that can easily be used to get long term disability.
She also got bamboozled by some medical credit companies before she met me, so we’re dealing with a few lawsuits trying to resolve that. Plus, she was in a car accident recently which has set her back. I guess my point is that we’ve been working on getting her government assistance, but there has been an overwhelming amount of things going on, and the process is slow.
I say she’s bendy and elegant because those are the positives. She is also in constant pain, suffers from mental issues, and we’re currently finding out if she will have a short lifespan from the toll on her internal organs. Within all that suffering though are also unique opportunities for trust and connection that I’ve never experienced in an able bodied relationship—there is a beautiful intimacy in the act of carrying someone up a flight of stairs or feeding them when their hands won’t work. The way she looks at me, I never have to feel insecure—that lady loves me and lets me know it every moment of the day.
There is a lot of suffering that comes with chronic genetic conditions, and it has completely reframed how I see life. That said, under all that disability is a really unique, intelligent, and talented person who I have fallen in love with. She is the kind of person who is 100% worthy of help, and though I don’t know how we’ll end up getting there, we are focused on finding the right support so we can live a life together and so that she can reach her potential despite her setbacks.

Connective tissue disorder: very bendy with long and elegant features. The rest is our business, lol.

If 65k is poor, I need to reassess my opinion of myself as lower middle class.
- Comment on Do some rich people date "poor" people? 5 days ago:
I am lower middle class and my girlfriend is disabled and indigent. Our relationship is unbalanced and will probably never be financially fair, but there is just something special about her that keeps me coming back, and she rocks my world in the sack.
Compared to my able bodied millionaire ex wife, she is a significant upgrade. Poor and irresistible beats rich and malicious every time.

- Comment on What do you think goes through an animal’s mind and POV? 6 days ago:
It’s not really something you succeed at, it’s something you practice. I think a lot of people shy away from it because they feel like they fail if an intrusive thought works its way in, but that is literally all part of it. Even the masters out there are having a random thought or fall asleep from time to time.
The key, in my opinion, is acceptance that there is no real victory or loss in meditation, just a continual practice that is likely to improve at times and get harder at others.
Focus on just your breath. If another thought comes in, allow it, and then return to your breath. If you can get little windows of singular focus, then you suddenly find yourself separated from the stories we tell ourselves to build our mental realities. Of course, even realizing that you’ve succeeded in that means that you failed step one: focus on just your breath.

As your friendly neighborhood cigarette representative, I would also like to ELY5 and say: have you seen our cool animated camel and did you know that menthol tastes like candy? Also, your older brother has a pack in his drawer that you definitely shouldn’t steal from. Good luck, kid! /s

- Comment on Anon thinks about Truman 3 weeks ago:
Not really since Truman would have no concept of what jail was other than what they tell him it is. They could make jail be a 24/7 infomercial that he has to perform and he would believe it because it is literally all he knows.
You’re probably right about the viewership though since a large part of the appeal seemed to be the parasocial relationship with a man who was presented as a decent and relatable guy.

- Comment on Anyone feeling like doesn't belong anywhere? 5 weeks ago:
This is interesting because I always feel like I adapt when I move and become a version of myself that does fit in.
I grew up a city boy.
Moved to the country and began wearing outdoor gear and rock climbing until I was indistinguishable from my neighbors.
Moved to a hippy town and started smoking weed in tie dye until I was indistinguishable from my neighbors.
Moved to NYC and started wearing a hat and an overcoat until I was indistinguishable from my neighbors.
And now I’m on the border of Mexico and don’t look anything like my neighbors, but apparently I’ve picked up enough Spanglish that people have still started asking me what region of Mexico my family is from (none).
I’ve retained little elements from each phase of my life and carried them over into the next, but every level also stands out as a distinct hybridized version of myself that I became for a time. In turn, it helped me discover new parts of myself that I would not have found if I hadn’t changed how I was living to fit my environment.
So, if you feel like you don’t fit in, maybe try to adapt to your surroundings so it is a little easier for people to meet you in the middle culturally.

Honestly, I have a weird feeling that this might be genuine. No need to sleep with the dude if OP doesn’t feel it, but it could be a cool opportunity to be a mentor and a friend to a younger queer dude if they get along.
Either way, meet in public and inform a friend.

My girlfriend has EDS. It is such a strange disease.
On the one hand, it gives you smooth stretchy skin that is resistant to wrinkles, long features that can be very beautiful, and enhanced flexibility that can be fun in the bedroom.
On the other hand, just laying down can cause her legs to fall out of socket, her back can make noises that sound like stepping on peanuts, and her fingers can get stuck in a Vulcan salute.
Handicapped parking is dope though.
