I want the same advice, but for cat parents without kids.

He's grooming your mom and now your mom is 'grooming'/readying her entire family, so he can run away from his situation in his home country and start again. The question is this: why is he running away? He has a roof over his head, he's an adult, his aunt is forcing him to study so he can get a decent job?

Sorry this is ridiculous, he just thinks he wants an easier life and sees your mom as a way to get it. If he gets into your home, he won't be getting a job, he'll be playing games all day and eating food and doing nothing. Because that's what he wants, to be taken care of.

I'm all for giving people opportunities, but this guy has no plan, beyond living with your mom. Also, again, he's not a 'kid.' He's an adult, let him figure things out for himself, or else he'll always look for the easiest solutions and be a major problem for your family. Yes, he's scamming your mom. Show her alle these responses and tell her to grow up and protect her kids lika an adult should do.

Take a tortilla wrap, put a slice of gouda young cheese in it, wrap like a wrap, 40 seconds in microwave et voila! Hot pocket and filling meal.

Yes, besides living in a rural area with a shitty library that has only books online I read in middle school, I have agorophobia. So making the trek there isn't that simple.

Even the biggest university library's online books are not up to date. They take years to get translated, so instead of waiting for that (since I'm not sure whether I'll even be alive by then) I just read books in their original language as soon as they come out.

And stop making fun of disabled people.

I'm an avid reader. Books from authors I like here tend to take months to years to get translated and into a library. I read everything in English now because of that.

Just one point of view: I'm too poor to even buy food, but pirating books keeps me informed about current affairs and shit. It also enables me to stay alive because I still have access to my favourite authors, which makes me so happy and try to stay alive for one more release date.

Full disclosure: I've gone from a very good job to debilitating disability over 10 years in Europe. Also, before this, I bought hardback books of everything I liked. I'll do this again as soon as I can afford it. I'll always support authors as much as I can.

Thanks for this. I've read some Plato but it was so long ago, I have to look into it again.

I'm hoping for a nice overall entity, so that makes me an Agnostic theist for now.

I severed myself completely from a major religion. Never again for me.

Same, 44, but Muslim background :) I don't know why but your view makes me so happy, like I'm not the only one... Let's just live our lives in peace and I agree. We have to figure out who we are and what we stand for as a 'human' without interference, so keeping that to ourselves (offline) makes it easier in this timeline. Let's figure it out first and then we can go from there.

I can only describe my periods this way: like someone is twisting a serrated knife constantly in your belly (uterus). Up and down, left, right, up and down... It doesn't stop for 3 days straight...I'm really looking forward to menopause...no amount of painkillers help. But the chocolate and nice people does :)

That's a good take. It offers hope in times of desperation. A mental health solution would be better, but I'm told constantly that there's a waiting list of 2 years, even though my GP is trying his very best to get me into a program, sometimes a higher power is all we have.

That said, f*ck all the religious rules. Live your life and hang on, even if you have to believe in a unicorn.

It's better if they don't exist. Just believe that you are energy that can't be destroyed. That way, you'll live forever, like molecules or whatever. I try to think of it that way? Just cruising around the globe or visiting other galaxies? Onward to the next adventure? (Sorry drunkish)
