We’re in Atlantic City for my wife’s pre birthday celebration. She lost $100 at craps last night, but I won $120, so I let her have it. I was up $200, and lost it. I also lost all my bets on FanDuel, and fukk Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson for not rushing the ball as usual. I keep being off by ONE line.
Next week is the real birthday trip, but her family will be there, and I still hate them.

What if Diddy had Da Band going out and buying him boxes of baby oil but MTV cut the footage?

Am I the only one that finds it funny that everyone said that cashiers weren't worth paying a decent wage and most of them quit and were replaced with kiosks and Now people want cashiers back because its not their job to provide free labor to companies?

The more I spend time with my mom the more I dislike her which is crazy because I have been so in love with her my whole life.
She literally does zero self reflection. Like none. It's not the mistakes she made it's thr fact that she gives thought to nothing.
She never wants to have real conversations but somehow I got her to talk about a situation that occurred with extended family.
There are 2 cousin (1male, 1 female) who she always said treated her badly and always treated her like the "black sheep."
One of the cousins (male) died over 10 years ago. When he died the female cousin had this breakdown and revealed the male had been raping her for years. My mom even admits to seeing inappropriate behavior from the male towards the female when they were all children.
Anyway, we are having the conversation and she starts with the whole they "never wanted me around" sob story.
I told you "You know he did that so he could get her alone and rape her right? So need you need to stop saying that. She's the victim. Not you."
She just sat there looking dumb and said nothing. It really made me mad. Its been over 10 years and you never put 2 and 2 together, da fuq? I was disappointed in her. That conversation was over a month ago.
Love her to death but she's definitely not the person I thought she was. I lost a lot of respect for her during that conversation.

I feel weird. I was fine an hour ago but this weird feeling just suddenly came over me.
Or maybe it's the fact that I called my dad and he didn't even pick up the phone. We haven't spoken since September and he's just being very distant
.
Gonna go out for some fresh air soon.

Meh people wouldn't care if dropping the cashiers lowered the costs of the items in the store. But it didn't.
Automation never seems to do so in the modern era

Its hard for people to look outside of themselves when they've been stuck in a specific paradigm for years. Even with self reflection. We can either be our worst critic or too enamored with ourselves sometimes. You're mother is human. She makes mistakes. Part of growing up is realizing that.
Watching Friday it’s on vh1 it still holds up but I get sad knowing a film like this would not be made in the modern era. Just how people interacted with each other would just never fly like that anymore. Especially the end where Craig beat Debo lot of girls would find that sexist Craig felt entitled to Nia long and they wonder why chivalry is dead because of the current state we’re in as a society.
The issue is the lack of realization. It's fine that a mistake is made. The issue is the complete unwillingness to see or acknowledge or have compassion for the situation.
This information is a decade old. I'm sorry but there is no excuse to not at least acknowledge who the actual victim is.
Everyone gets to play "dumb" and "human" when actual people were or are being harmed. That's the excuse people use so they can stay complacent.
On a seperate note, I have told her on 3 seperate occasions that she doesn't seem like she is interested in spending time with me. All 3 times she ignored it. Okay cool so I have just stopped trying to spend time with her outside of normal interactions and she's been pouting and said that I was "being mean" to her.
I can't do this victim shyt. Sorry but I'm not going to tolerate it nor will I pretend like it's okay or acceptable at this point in life. My dad can do that shyt if he wants.
Again, I love her but yeah I'm not playing these stupid fukking games. She needs a hobby. Imma tell her that tomorrow. She has too much time on her hands and she's starting to act extra goofy.

Don't mean you gotta accept the victim shyt as ok. Some people get stuck in that victim mentality. I think for a lot of people it's the way they learned to get attention. Moreover part of it sounds like a lack of empathy to me. Even a bit of self centeredness. But yeah all you can do is express how you feel. Take some deep breaths and shyt before you do it tho lolThe issue is the lack of realization. It's fine that a mistake is made.

Yeah, you're right. I guess I am also struggling with the idea of thinking someone I love is a certain way and realizing that it is very different.
I have a older sister who is a complete Disney villian and I am starting to see that they are actually so much alike. My sister is much much worse but they have such similar habits it's scary.
I am going over years of situations where I took my mom's side and I realized that she was dead ass wrong in half of them.
Thankfully I kept myself out of it so I kept my opinions to myself and I don't need to go back and apologize to others. But it sucks knowing that I should have done a better job being objective.
Anyway, thank you for responding. I don't mean to trama dump. I'm usually very good at manging my own thoughts and feelings but somethings you do need a listening ear. Thank you for listening. I really do appreciate it.
