FYI if you want to make actual progress with a therapist you're gonna have to tell them the truth sooner or later

Like, maybe you don't have to come out and say "I jizzed all over my coworker's office equipment," but every therapist has heard "I'm irrationally obsessed with my married coworker and it's loving me up" a thousand times and they will be able to help you work through that.

Also go meet someone else. You'll quit being obsessed with Katie the second you meet someone who reciprocates your attention

Lots of potential outcomes here

1) you stick with the job until it ruins your marriage and then you become so depressed you quit or get fired and your life is terrible.

2) you tell your boss to gently caress off with the late nights and you get fired. This will hurt but your wife will be extremely supportive because you were trying to save your marriage and take care of yourself and her, and in response your boss was a huge rear end in a top hat to you. You'll find another job.

3) you tell your boss to gently caress off with the late nights and he agrees and gives you the time off that you need. This is the most challenging one, because it's easy for him to do something like give you one night off a week and then hold that as a bargaining chip against you forever. Your wife will also resent this because it sounds like you're the type of person who might think you can never take anything more for yourself other than what your boss graciously gave you. Don't let yourself get in this condition. Make your argument a hard one: you're going to leave by 6 p.m. every night and that's it. Then either you get fired and you're back to step two, or you actually have a reasonable change in your life.

4) you just quit the job without confronting your boss. Also a great idea because it sounds like you hate it there. Your wife has a job and can support you, you will feel way better and more motivated when you are not working at a horrible place that makes your marriage fall apart, and you will find something else to work at sooner rather than later.

Also get married sooner. If you've been living together for years why are you pushing it out another 22 months

Poo poo guy: ahaahahahhahhahahahahhahahahhahhahahahhhahhahahahahhahahhahahhahhhahhahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahhahhHhhahahahhahahahhahhaaaaaaaa Jesus Christ dude why would you ask one of your friends if you could pay her to poop in front of you. It would have been awkward enough if you'd just asked as like a favor or something, but now she knows that you think she lets people watch her poop for money

Reasonable people don't speak up against male domestic abuse against men because they are pushed aside to point out that women are abused too and that is the real problem. Not that domestic violence from either partner towards the other is bad, mind you the LOGICAL thinking in the matter. But in doing so you will be labeled a horrific person that does not empathize with the plight of women everywhere.

Metric system makes sense, but you would have to remove every INCH measurement from everything and that goes into fasteners and poo poo. You have no idea how frustrating it is to listen to people say "I want a 6mm bolt that is 1.5" long". Give me a fastener that is 1.5" long in metric. Then tell me how many mm it is in, and tell me if 1.5" is easier than 37.5mm

In closing, gently caress metric, Im gonna stay INCH strong

Ok yeah but 40mm is easier to say than 1.5748 inches

i saw an extremely long and disgusting series of images on imgur where a woman got mailed a glitter bomb as a prank and a piece of glitter got in her eye and somehow sliced her cornea and her eyeball became infected and after several weeks of doctors trying to save it the whole thing eventually died and she had to have it removed.

glitter bombs are no joke

Glitter that's safe to use in the area of your eyes, that's used for eyeshadow and stuff, that's regulated by the FDA, specifically so you don't unthinkingly murder your eyes

yeah but what's the difference? she got the infection apparently because a sharp corner nicked her cornea like a tiny papercut. is eye-safe glitter all rounded off or something?

One time I was helping a student lift a large object in the shop. He wore really baggy loose pants and when he bent over his pants fell down a bunch and his underwear stuck out and he had a massive skidmark in it like 6 inches long. I don't think I am unusually clean or anything but I do not have poo poo marks in my underwear, and I assumed that most people are the same way. I couldn't comprehend what sort of behavior you'd have to engage in to make a skidmark so bad that if it was obvious from ten feet away on the outside of the cloth.

Now I know!

dvds are a direct descendant of cds. the key technology in both is the laser, which was designed based on principles discovered before the first world war.

LEDs rely on similar physics, and the first LED was described in 1927.

wifi is an extension of microwave radio techniques developed in the years leading up to ww2.

"the cloud" is distributed computing, which was the default model of computing until the 1980s.

the other day i went to my favorite bathroom on campus to take a poo poo and some guy was in my favorite stall. oh well, whatever. i went to the next one over. as I sat down, though, I realized that the guy next door had gone completely silent. I stopped moving and listened for a second and -- nothing. none of the little creaks as people shift their weight, no breathing, no sounds of toilet paper being unrolled, no subtle clicking of fingernails on a phone screen, and certainly no bodily sounds. he stayed dead silent like that for the whole 3-4 minutes I was in there.

Narcissist goon: just remember that all of your senses of self-superiority are, by your own recognition, caused by a mental disorder. You're nowhere near as smart as you think you are. You think that Google would love to hire you? I went to grad school with a guy who barely passed any of his classes, never showed any creative or interesting research, and only graduated because our lab supervisors pulled all of us more competent students together and said "look, every one of you needs to take a chapter of x's thesis and rewrite it into proper English, or he's never going to get out of here." That guy was hired by Google.

On the whole you're just as average as everyone else, except lacking the usual sense of self-awareness. :)

Thousands of trucks will drive though the northeastern USA distributing free steaks, beef jerky, all-beef franks, and other delicious beef products. Obviously there is nothing to fear, but it will be terrifying to many (vegetarians). Keep your pets inside because it will be hard to control them with all the meat everywhere.

This is always dumb. Always. Some race who can travel between stars in a feasible way would have no interest in earth whatsoever. It'd be worthless to them. Hell, if we could make stellar mining somehow feasible it'd probably solve all our resource problems for like, as long as humans exist prob.. The "aliens are coming and they will take are resources" angle is always dumb.

We still don't know how rare earth-like planets are. We're starting to find planets that look like they might be in the same sort of zone that makes it possible for them to have liquid water, but we have no idea if they're all lush gardens or featureless waterworlds or dessicated hellscapes. Maybe our planet is desirable just because it's already set up for complex life with the right kind of temperature and biologically-maintained oxygen levels and everything and so the aliens don't have to gently caress around with the terraforming.
