1. No particular straw and I wouldn’t say “swore it off”. But a long time of bad experiences and rejection/failure (and subsequently reflecting on the pain that it caused me) just slowly but steadily made me arrive at the point where I’ve given up and have stopprd caring altogether.

I would probably compare it to an aspring musician who eventually came to the realization that he was never going to make it big, so he just moved on with his life and got a “normal” job.

As the year wraps up, I just want to pause for a moment and say thank you.

Thank you for coming here.
Thank you for spending a piece of your day with this site. The internet is a loud, chaotic place, and the fact that you choose to show up here, day after day, honestly means more than you probably realize.

This site exists because of you.

So as we step into a brand-new year, I want to wish every one of you good health, success and happiness in the new year.

Here’s to a better year ahead.

For decades, the “North Star” has been the dominant metaphor for a successful life. We are told to find that one singular, shimmering point—a career, a calling, a “passion”—and orient every decision around it. The logic is simple: if you follow the star, you’ll never be lost.

But in 2026, the world is far too volatile for a single point of failure.

In December 2019 I financed a brand new Charger Scat Pack. This was right before inflation really took off so they were cheaper than they are now. Sticker price was only 36k. After the dealer added a warranty, “paint protection plan”, dealer fees, taxes, etc, I ended up financing 51k!

At the time I didn’t know ANYTHING about cars, the only reason I even bought the car was because my v6 2011 camaro that was paid off started having transmission trouble. Replaced it twice and it still wasn’t driving properly, so I bought the scat pack.

I (34F) have recently ran into a situation with my husband (37M) and am curious about if I am the AH here or not. So me and my husband have been tother for 8 years, married for 7. When I got married my mother came to me privately and talked about setting aside money as a rainy day/ escape fund if worst came to worst. My husband has never showed any signs of being dangerous and rarely even gets upset, but the way my mother talked about it, it seemed like a no brainer to have.

This is what a hero looks like.

Not someone trained for it. Not someone looking for it. Just a man who saw blood on the street, women and children lying there, and made a decision before fear had time to speak.

He didn’t pause to calculate the risk. He didn’t wait for instructions or protection. He saw people being hunted and understood, instinctively, that doing nothing would mean more death. So he ran toward the gunman, wrestled the weapon away, and forced the attacker to retreat.

He wasn’t acting for recognition or praise. He acted because something inside him refused to accept what was happening. The most basic moral instinct took over: this is wrong, and I have to stop it.
