Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.
Comment preview: In my Sacred Scripture class, I had a very profound teacher named Mr. Bernard. He taught outside of the box. He was always very unexpected, but nevertheless he impacted my life to such a high degree that there is no way I can ever repay him. One day, he lo ....
Comment preview: This is my favorite Zelda game by far, but not for the reason you might expect. Majora's Mask has an extremely intricate story that dealt with some very heavy themes, and it handled the characters in a profound way that really stood out to me when I was a ....
Comment preview: I've been following this user and thread for a while. Quite frankly, I don't think this user needs gift cards or money. I think this user needs a lesson in managing his budget. There are people who are way more unfortunate than earning $67,000/annually and ....
Comment preview: Growing up: I thought my dad was a complete fucking asshole that intentionally tortured us with manual labor because he was a cheap sonofabitch. He'd always be talking about teaching us life lessons, and when you get older you'll appreciate this, and he'd ....
Comment preview: I was kind of on the other side of one of these situations, and hope this might offer an alternate perspective on things, but it's not exactly a happy read either. My father, throughout my whole life, was abusive. Not quite to this degree, but constant emo ....
Comment preview: The reason you werent gonna see any red flags was because you were 19. That's also the reason he choose you. I wish I could drill it into young women that they aren't particularly intellectually stimulating company, otherwise you would have 40 year old wom ....
Comment preview: If I've learned any sort of lesson, here - and I fancy that I am the sort of fellow who DOES learn lessons in life, be it in my day to day interactions with human beings face to face in person, so to speak, or be it via internet-based electronic communicat ....
Comment preview: Look, this issue isn't what you are thinking. You guys got together when she was 16-17. She went from answering to mom and dad straight to answering to you. The way she's laissez faire about money is not because she's selfish. It's because she's never had ....
Comment preview: Rain the downvotes onto me, but I completely disagree. The real world, for the most part, operates on some level through group work and collaboration. Sure, some jobs are way more solitary than others, but being able to understand how to handle other peopl ....
Comment preview: This is the best thing in the world for me, honestly. My father passed away when he was thirty-six. I was seventeen. Because our age was not that far off, we were extremely close and it often felt like he was my best friend. The abrupt loss of my father, m ....
Comment preview: I hope this hasn't been said though i wouldn't be surprised if it has. I will mention book in my following review but in reality it is actually composed of three books. However many of the ebooks or books you buy today will be an abridged version. **Count ....
Comment preview: *Transcribed from the image:* Thank you all for being here today. I know dad is looking down right now on this and us, and I truly believe he knows just how loved he really was. Our father would have loved all this attention. What can I say about the world ....
Comment preview: Northern Exposure. For me, S3 E6 of Northern Exposure encapsulates why this is one of the greatest shows ever made. If you can't watch the entire episode, watch [this clip](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBRpxrxNo9M) followed by [this clip](http://www.yout ....
Comment preview: Anything by Errol Morris. The guy is a legend and he manages to make all the topics he decides to focus on interesting. *The Thin Blue Line* is a great one on culpability and how far people are willing to go when they think they're right. *Fog of War: Elev ....
Comment preview: One of the big lessons in life - never give money to family or friends. It's a pretty much guaranteed way to ruin the relationship. Never loan more money than you are willing to lose forever. I consider this the 'asshole' tax. It's the price you had to ....
Comment preview: Also to reply to some additional points: Be distrustful of people, but not OVERLY distrustful, or else you will truly be alone for the rest of your life. If you find someone you think could potentially be a friend, feel them out, but do NOT tell them of yo ....
Comment preview: ha. About 5 years ago, I was working as a field tech and younger. What I was hired to do was be remote hands/eyes for an outsourced IT help desk. What I ended up doing, after 2 years, a few manager changes? Driving anywhere between 30 minutes to 6 hour ....
Comment preview: > there is nothing wrong with having sex with another consenting adult if you want to. No matter if you just met them 5 minutes before, or 5 years before. Do what makes YOU comfortable, as long as they are also comfortable with it. Period. It's of cours ....
Comment preview: To everyone slamming this girl; you can't have social media and not be aware of what comes with it. Regardless if she did this for herself, or to show other people this is possible to do...she did a great thing. Too many of our seniors go days with being a ....
Comment preview: Just think how that part of your heart that is filled with their memory that feels so precious that it makes you cry every time you think about how it's gone, what if you never found that thing to fill that hole? You wouldn't even know you had the capacity ....
Comment preview: I'm sorry, but while this may be true for you and many others, it is by no means universal (like everything else in life). There *is* a "real world". Its borders are defined by accountability. It's the difference between living at home while someone else ....
Comment preview: Please take them to a therapist first. Then take them to a psychiatrist to see if your child could benefit from a prescription / diagnosis. Don't do it the other way around. SSRIs' and Stimulants can help, and they do work well for some. But MANY children ....
Comment preview: LOL he kissed her in front of you after being caught? they have been cheating on you for a while. your best friend is an asshole, your GF is a cheat and you learned a very painful but valuable lesson in life. Dont blindly trust people, humans are self ....
Comment preview: My son moved out of the house as soon as he turned 18. I pleaded with him to stay and told him how hard the path he's choosing will be. In the end he packed up and left with his highschool buddy. I did not contact him or reach out to him except for xmas fo ....
