No, I didn’t lose a bet. I didn’t get scammed. And I didn’t do it because I’m lonely or incapable of dating. I spent $10,000 on Findom because—for the first time in years—it felt like I was choosing to give up control.

“Do people really stay loyal?”
I’m in my 30s now and I’m starting to wonder if love is really real. Not only have I seen close friends and family be cheated on, I’ve been cheated on as well. It doesn’t seem to matter anymore. It seems like a romantic partner just can’t be trusted.
The Problem With Trying to Earn Your Self-Worth
Most people spend a surprising amount of their lives trying to earn the right to feel good about themselves.
They believe they’ll finally be worthy once they lose the weight, make the money, get the promotion, find the relationship, buy the house, publish the book, or collect enough approval from strangers on the internet. Worth becomes a finish line that keeps moving farther away every time they approach it.

The LEATHERMAN Skeletool takes a refreshingly simple approach to multi-tools
Many multi-tools try to include every possible feature, often resulting in something bulky and difficult to carry.
The Skeletool focuses on the essentials: pliers, a knife, a bit driver, and a few practical extras. The result is a tool that’s capable without feeling oversized.
It’s the kind of design that recognizes most people use the same handful of functions over and over again.
What Reddit says: The Skeletool is frequently praised for being the multi-tool people actually carry every day, thanks to its lightweight design and focus on the tools most often used.
Confessions of a Former White Supremacist
I don’t tell many people this about myself.
Partly because it’s embarrassing. Partly because I know some people will never look at me the same way afterward. And partly because there are people out there who assume that once you’ve believed something hateful, you’re permanently broken.

A couple of months ago I lost my job. It wasn’t a surprise, and honestly I was relieved. The job had taken over my life, and for the first time in years I felt like I had room to breathe. My girlfriend earns enough that we’re financially comfortable, so I decided to spend the summer working on a novel I’ve dreamed about finishing for more than a decade.
The problem is that since June started, my girlfriend has been pushing me to find another job. We argue about it almost every day. She says we need to save for a house and a wedding. I tell her that spending a few months focused on my writing is a far better investment than taking a random job just to bring in a paycheck.
