The IRS Doesn’t Want You to Know This One Simple Trick
Confession of the Day
I cannot stop having sex with my ex-wife.
My(26M) ex-wife (30F) and I have been divorced for a month now. I have moved houses, and changed my phone number, and somehow she still winds up at my door at odd hours of the night. I still get nudes and sexts from her in the daytime just like I would have when we were together.
We have hooked up six times since the divorce, and honestly it’s been the best sex I’ve ever had in my life. I hate how much I enjoy it. I hate how good it feels to be with her. I hate myself for letting her stay in my life. I hate that I can’t stop myself from giving in to her.
She stayed the night last night. I woke up holding her, just like I used to do when we were married. She’s there, laying in my bed right now, still sleeping, like she didn’t go crazy and try to make my life miserable. I fucked her like I still loved her last night, and I honestly don’t know how to feel about her anymore.
I’m so tired.

An Easy Way To Meet People Without Using Dating Apps

The digital dating landscape is a paradox of choice. The seemingly endless options can lead to a perpetual search for someone better, fostering a culture of disposability and a sense that no connection is truly irreplaceable. This abundance of choice might seem liberating, but it can also be profoundly draining. The cycle of swiping, chatting, and experiencing fleeting interactions can erode self-worth, as individuals may start to wonder why connections fizzle out or why they can’t seem to find that elusive ‘spark’.
Moreover, the curated personas on dating apps can exacerbate feelings of worthlessness. Users often present an idealized version of themselves, which can lead to unrealistic expectations and a sense of inadequacy when comparing oneself to others’ highlight reels. The silent rejections—unmatched, unanswered messages, ghosting—can feel personal, even though they are a common experience in the online dating realm.

How Comparison Robs Us of Happiness
We’ve all been there – scrolling through social media or hearing about a friend’s accomplishments, only to feel worse about ourselves afterwards. This phenomenon of comparing our lives, status, looks or achievements to others often leaves us drained of happiness and satisfaction. Comparison truly can be the thief of joy if we let it.
What is Tranq?
Xylazine, commonly known as “Tranq,” is an animal tranquilizer that is increasingly being found in the illegal drug supply, particularly in opioids like fentanyl and in cocaine. Its emergence is alarming health professionals and outreach workers due to its dangerous effects and the difficulty in treating overdoses.
The Growing Emergence of Tranq
Tranq first surged in areas of Puerto Rico and then in Philadelphia, where it was found in a staggering 91% of opioid samples in a recent period. In Massachusetts, data from January to mid-June shows that xylazine was present in 28% of drug samples tested. This infiltration into the drug supply is causing concern because xylazine is not approved for human use and is associated with a number of health risks.
Picture of the Day
The brazen bull was a torture and execution device designed in ancient Greece.
The condemned were locked inside the device, and a fire was set under it, heating the metal until the person inside was roasted to death.
The head of the bull was purportedly designed with a system of tubes and stops so that the prisoner’s screams were converted into sounds like the bellowing of an infuriated bull. Phalaris is said to have commanded that the bull be designed in such a way that its smoke rose in spicy clouds of incense.
