Richard Head

Now find a good nickname for “Richard”

Borderline doesn’t go away like that. It’s often a lifelong struggle. It takes years of therapy to come back from. There’s not really a medication for it

FWIW, this had “borderline” written all over it, even before you got to the part where he admitted his diagnoses. You know what you did, don’t let him put ideas in your head.

There are lots of great books on BPD out there. Don’t feel like you have to save him, that’s probably the guilt he wants you to feel. You should read up on managing borderline siblings, because that’s tough.

Check out Judith Butler’s Gender Trouble. One of the best books I’ve read on the subject

They're in our blood and even in our brain?

Well TIL what DINK means. As another DINK household (unless you count the dogs), I have literally never been judged or had a confrontation about this.

Sure, almost all of my friends have kids now, so the nature of our relationships have changed. But I don’t think it’s necessarily in a bad way.

Literally why I ended up on his wiki page. I was googling this as I tried to explain the concept to someone lol

“If you guys stopped locking up my ketamine dealers, I wouldn’t have to turn to FB to buy drugs” - Zuck probably

Too soon?

I’d be shocked if cops did anything with that. Local police are incompetent (and, to be fair, waaay under resourced) when it comes to cybercrimes. Who did you report it to?

Eh, it’s best to assume everything has fent nowadays

To be fair, some work has always been outsourced.

Like the o rings…

Me in 2015 in a box seat at Lincoln Financial Field. It was an Eagles preseason game and I had been doing an internship at a law firm that owned the box.

It was a fun few months but it convinced me not to go to law school. I still remember when one of the partners at the firm looked me dead in the eye and said “you know we have one of the highest suicide rates of any profession, right?”

Edit: second oldest photo is an article someone sent me over a year later, titled “Is communism cool? Ask a millennial.” Pretty sure it was written by some Heritage Foundation hack or something and I got into a spirited discussion with a family member over it.
