They see themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

You already know exactly what they mean.

I said goodbye to theaters years ago; the cost of attendance is unjustifiable anymore.

Switched to these after years of boxers and a stint with regular briefs. Duluth is my brand of choice but regardless the separation/support is a complete game changer.

Cinnamon is on the roll, not the chili. Don't knock it till you try it, the sweet/savory combination is a Midwest classic for a reason.

Next time try chili and cinnamon rolls.

Gotta add Black Sheep and Tommy Boy to the list. Peak Farley/Spade era.

I confidently confused a CRM with CMS, and then spent the next four months on my new job frantically working to understand how a CRM works. Lol I figured it out, mainly because nobody before me had taken the time to do so.

"no" is a complete sentence btw.

It's less complicated than even that, it's about real estate value, which is where McDonald's corporate arm really makes it's money. It's easier to sell a full gray box than one that is so obviously a McDonalds in a past life. Same thing has happened with Pizza Hut, they don't build them with the classic roofline anymore.

That's the thing about abusive relationships, when you're in them long enough you're often manipulated to the point where the abuser makes you think your actions are the problem. Making me question reality, and myself was her modus operandi. Looking back yeah, there were plenty of red flags, but I also had such a low opinion of myself I accepted the kind of relationship I felt I deserved, until she pushed me past my breaking point. Having a kid also complicated matters; seemed like that was a major turning point in her narcissistic abusive descent. Then you sprinkle on a little sunk cost fallacy and you've got a recipe for disaster.

I'll spare the details and just give you the highlights:

• She put me through years of domestic abuse, gaslighting and manipulation
• She had zero regard for our family's financial future and nearly pushed us to the brink of bankruptcy
• She walked out on me and our son to become a literal crack whore

Heed my words, dudes: if you must have a joint checking account, have your direct deposit go to an account only in your name. I didn't and she cleaned me out to buy crack.
