How Many Red Flags Can You Spot In This?

Red Flag

We’ve been together for 5 years. She’s gorgeous, loves me, I love her more than everything. Yesterday I found out that she is going out with a dude that tried to kiss her few months before we started dating.

[little backstory]

Dude is her “friend” that tried to kiss her before we started dating. No problem here. When she rejected him, he went back on dating others. Again, no problem.

Few weeks ago he broke up with his partner and immediately followed and DMed my girlfriend.

They chatted at nights, while she was in the bathroom, sometimes almost for hours. And every time she erased all of the chats with him.

[little backstory]

She said that it’s “friendly meet up” to her friends. She also asked them to lie to me, in case I am curious about where my girlfriend is.

I genuinely don’t know what to do. Any advice? Do I confront her right now? Do I confront while they are together? Why some men are such dicks? Why would they try to hit on an obviously taken girlfriend?

She’s 10/10 and I want to be with her till the rest of my life but I cannot emotionally afford to be in an unfaithful relationship. Help me please, it’s been eating me out from the inside.

15 Insiders Reveal Their Industry Secrets

1. I worked at a newspaper processing obituaries, and it was crazy how much funeral homes tried to rip people off.

Obits are expensive. Like, $400 for a single day expensive. And they are priced by the word. We had funeral homes who would send us obits with all the commas and periods separated to make full new words. The homes would get the estimate from our website and use that for billing the grieving family. We would edit the obit to meet English standards, which would reduce the word count substantially, dropping the price. In other words, they charged for the estimate but got billed for the edit.

Tuned Mass Damper of Taipei 101 Tower

Taipei 101, once the world’s tallest building upon its completion in 2004, is not only an architectural wonder but also a marvel of engineering, particularly because of its tuned mass damper (TMD). This TMD is a critical component of the skyscraper’s structural integrity, designed to stabilize the building against the forces of nature, such as typhoons and earthquakes, which are common in Taiwan.

The principle behind mass dampers is relatively straightforward yet ingenious. When an earthquake strikes, it generates waves of energy that cause the building to sway.

How To Avoid Rental Scams

Rental Scams

I work for one of the largest rental listings platforms in the country, and spend my work days stopping fraudulent listings from being posted, banning the ones that make it through, and consoling people who send these fuckers money in spite of all warnings not to.

Does the rent seem too good to be true? Look the address up on Zillow. What’s the rent “Zestimate”? Is the advertised rent more than $50 less than that? BEWARE.

Whatever Happened To Actress Dana Kimmell From ‘Friday The 13th: Part 3’? 

Dana Kimmell - Friday The 13th

Dozens of boozed-up, horny teenagers were unfortunate enough to cross paths with the murderous Jason Voorhees throughout the 1980s.

Over the course of twelve Friday the 13th movies, including the 2009 reboot and his famous battle against Freddy Krueger in Freddy vs. Jason, the prolific serial slasher has amassed a body count of 157 unlucky souls. It seems no one stands a chance against the hockey-masked, machete-wielding camp killer. Well, not no one.
