Can’t catch a break

What would he do on his own? What would have you done on your own as a kid? If these answers are different, why?
How will negative consequences be handled, like he doesn’t pay rent, runs out of money for food, or he damages the apartment? What about really big ones, like he allows someone to stay over long enough that they become an established tenant, cause problems, and then don’t leave? In your jurisdiction, are there legal consequences for you if he breaks the law that you would not face if he were legally an adult?
Is there a plan for if he decides he wants to move back?
Do you foresee any legal consequences? For instance, if his school learns about this arrangement, will CPS or the police get involved? Is that something you can recover from?
In the right circumstances, I think this is a good idea. As a parent, your job is to prepare him for adulthood. Letting him live on his own, while meeting his needs (food, shelter, healthcare) with a safety net can work. A lot can make these the wrong circumstances. Only you can answer whether or not the circumstances are right in your situation.

She is partially right. Some women wear sexy clothes because they want attention and/or they feel pressured to, so they might wear them, even if they don’t like them.
Some women like the way they look and feel in sexy clothes, so they just wear them for themselves. It’s not necessarily for male (or any other gender’s of interest) attention.
In my experience, the former happens less. I’m not sure if it’s due to the crowd I hang out with changing or a gradual cultural shift.

The author uses a lot of the same reasoning I do for using a bullet journal. (Some people like making theirs more elaborate or add more complexity - I keep mine very simple.)
Though I do like the idea of keeping the text document synced everywhere.
The thing I like my bullet journal for over a living document and using sticky notes, is that I can see very easily what I have accomplished. I started getting frustrated at never having everything done that I wanted. After starting the bullet journal, I could actually see what took up my time, and I was able to cut myself a lot more slack.

Prepare a full size pudding. Before it sets, pour it into smaller mason jars. Single-serve at a size you determine!

I am really, really sorry. That really bothers me when people do it, but I know it helps them. I try to tolerate it if I’m not having an awful sensory day, but sometimes it’s like the noisy lightbulb and I just can’t take it.
- Comment on If youre bi do you have to prove it? 2 months ago:
No. I’ll take someone at their word about their sexual orientation.
If someone is bi and they only date people of the opposite gender, they’re still bi. They’re not straight but want to be different.
If someone is bi and they only date people of the same gender, they’re still bi. They’re not gay in denial.
If someone says they’re bi, and they’re not… Who cares?

I think it happens often. Doesn’t make it right. I’m sorry she said something so hurtful to you.
If you want advice or just to talk, message me. I will listen.
Curious about the meaning of life? I don’t think we’re really assigned roles. We’re just kind of here. You can just do the minimum if you want, just securing food and shelter. Or you can choose to do more if you have the means. You have the freedom to assign your own meaning to your life. I find most people either pursue religion/spirituality, community service, knowledge, or pleasure.

Make your home as unattractive to pests as possible. You’re not going to be able to have airflow and keep the pests out of your computer.
Below is a dump of things I did when I had to deal with roaches.
Reduce moisture as much as possible. Roaches love water. Any leaks, even slow ones, should be addressed. Puddles should not be left ever.
Seal up any holes. If they’re coming out of around your outlets, there is some foam sheets you can install behind the plate to seal up that gap.
Seal up your food in your home as best as possible. No bags with clips. You must put it all in airtight containers.
Keep your kitchen and dining area clean. Never leave any dirty dishes out. All leftovers should be dealt with ASAP. Clean your sink, counters, table, and floor.
Take special care to maintain your dishwasher. Clean your garbage disposal daily at the least.
You must only eat in your designated dining room. Do not eat anywhere else.
Clean all of your floors daily. Sweep and mop. Vacuum your couch.
Take out your trash daily at the least.
You will also need to treat for the pests. If you’re sharing walls with other households and they’re not doing the same as you and they are not getting treatments, you have my condolences.

One thing that would make a creep a creep is a power imbalance of some sort. For this to exist if we’re only considering the age gap between adults, is if one adult is so young they’re being taken advantage of.
A 20 year age gap where the younger is early 20’s is creepy, because the younger’s lack of experience makes them vulnerable. A 20 year age gap where the younger is in their 30’s or beyond isn’t, because the younger likely has the maturity to avoid being taken advantage of.
Are there any other factors that would make this creepy, like you have influence over this person’s career? If not, then no worries! Enjoy dating.

Fair enough. If I witnessed a deer bashing its own brains out, I would definitely be so fucking freaked out my memory would be doing wild shit about the encounter, too. Filling in details that weren’t there, not noticing that only part of the brain fell out, just completely unreliable.

Yep. My therapy was used against me in a court case. As a result, I just figured out how to deal with most things myself.
It has very negatively affected my health and isn’t optimal, but it’s a lot better than the alternative.

Do you have any metal allergies? If you think you do, you might consider looking for a blade without that particular metal. Most stainless steel contains nickel, which is a fairly common allergy.

I have encountered quite a few bus stops with no sidewalks near them. You just kind of had to hike, sometimes on fairly hilly/uneven terrain. Very hard for those of us with mobility issues.
