Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!
- Thread starter strawman
- Start date
Quarantine has gotten to my loneliness. I've written and sent two ill-advised, sappy apology messages to former friends who I had a falling out with and haven't spoken to in years.
One of them actually replied favorably and we're talking again... and I kinda now regret it because this experience is reminding me why we stopped talking.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words (apologies for the blurriness. I was under the influence of adrenaline)
I never did find the little bit of the tip I cut off. Probably ended up in my lunch.
Human blood straw
you guys get a spoiler tag. FB friends aren't as lucky 
If they put you on Metformin, don't stray too far from a toilet the first couple weeks or so.
Man, what is it with you guys and "just the tip"?
In all fairness to my reputation, I've *never* tied to trick a girl with that line. I've always had the philosophy that if she wasn't enthusiastic about sleeping with me, then I wasn't interested. No wheedling, whining, tricking, or cajoling.
That may be, but now I'm going to think twice if you ever offer to make me a sandwich.
so many things on the tip of my tongue right now
I have a 750ti I just replaced with a 1660super. If you want to pay for shipping (from Canada to the us isn't cheap though)
Edit
FedEx says it would be about $30 canadian

I still have my 1080 but that's a really nice thing to offer.

Wasn't that the start of a Simpsons Halloween episode?
*googles*
Ah, yes, Treehouse of Horror 28 "MMM... Homer"
We have a knife set, because my wife insisted. I still use my old chef's knife (that I had before we got together) for 90% of my cutting, but it was dirty so I used the knife designated as a 'slicer' this time. I keep my knives wicked sharp, having a motorized sharpening tool as well as a whetstone set. Usually dull knives are the most dangerous, but in this case, the tomato rolled on me half-way through slicing it, and..well, whoops. It happens.
Better your tongue than your finger evidently.so many things on the tip of my tongue right now
I dunno, both can be quite fun. But not necessarily just the tip.

This has circled back around and turned ugly now. My grandfather has bought fully into the fox news line, and is convinced that Hunter Biden's "laptop" is the smoking gun that proves he is right to support Trump. And he e-mails it to the whole family, me included.
And you guys know me, I just can't leave well enough alone. Did I really need to reply-all and do a huge infodump of everything I already know he'll never believe because it would require him to realize he's been duped on such a massive scale? No, but I did it anyway. With the usual GasBandit flourishes and embellishments you all have come to know so well.
And now I'm sick to my stomach because my grandfather and I are the closest we've ever come to estranged, and I love that man, flaws and all. I hate the wool that's been pulled over his eyes, and I hate that I just had to get my licks in in front of the whole family.
Guess I'm probably not invited over for thanksgiving this year.
Is your Grandfather the odd one out in the family as far as his viewpoints or is the rest of the family on a similar thought process as him?

There are at least one or two others that probably agree with him, and one or two who vehemently oppose him. Most however have just been keeping quiet and keeping their heads down, like I probably should have.
You have bad people in your family. They will never be changed. They will be shitty people until they die. Whether the relationship is worth it is up to you, but you will never change that they're bad people and no good will come from trying. Accept this and your life will be happier.

If you do end up doing any more reply-all missives, make sure you stress this. Ensure your commentary attacks the misinformation, not the man. Make it clear that you still love the man, and that your beef is solely with the lies & the deceitful sources that spread them, and how their honeyed words have seduced/stolen him away from the light.
This is not without a silver lining.
When I railed against a family member who spread disinformation about 5G, this was my hope, that I might be able to prevent that bullshit from rubbing off on any of the rest of my family.
