You're lucky the kid didn't break your jaw.

Same! I can imagine it might be tricky as little tiny kittens, but I've seen many cat butts in my day and it's always been pretty clear if I'm looking at a lil set of balls or not.

Well, unless they're a long haired cat maybe. I had a long haired girl get a "sanitary trim" aka they buzzed her butt to prevent dingleberries and when she got home I was like OH, DAISY! I CAN SEE YOUR VAGINA 🙈

It was always fully covered in fluff before 😂

You know your problem areas so improve them. Seek anger management. Violence is never the answer but self defense is acceptable within reason. Don't do anything stupid. Punishment is coming, accept it. Peace..

Make it your thing. Next meeting blast Bulls On Parade. After that, Down Rodeo. Just keep it going.

I understand you probably didn't know in that moment what else to do, and you probably felt pretty overwhelmed. If you're in a situation where you don't know how to de-escalate, and you are not in immediate physical danger that demands a physical defense response, it would be better to remove yourself from the situation. The consequences of ditching class or being late to class would probably be easier to stomach than what you're dealing with right now. If it were me, I would also contact my parent to tell them about the situation as soon as I could. I think most parents will be easier on their kids if they're honest- that honesty reinforces a good foundation of trust between parent and child, and if your parent trusts you they'll be more likely to hear you out and try to understand your side of a situation.

I'm sorry for what happened, and I hope that you can find a resolution for your classmate bullying you.

Awww, love that name

Kinda doubt the cat understands the complexity of human genders

Yeah you really did fuck up

Just own it. Lol

I used tan this summer and hated it, I found that the best way to remove it, at least on my body, was exfoliation, it helps take off your dead skin so the tan also starts to go away, so when you shower, exfoliate your skin, an exfoliation glove or something works wonders.

Learn to swim. Could save your life or someone else’s. It’s pretty easy, babies and puppies can do it naturally.

But yeah. It was pretty scary. No one to hear you scream. Just the wrath of mother natures greatest force for miles in every direction. Biggest thing is to just stay calm, and not over exert. Unfortunately if you’re not found relatively quickly you will die. I swallowed so much salt water I’m surprised I didn’t pass out from the headache of dehydration. That would be the one thing I would have managed better was not swallowing so much water. I was saving energy by swimming on my back but that also meant waves would wash over my mouth every 30 seconds

Man this is probably my worst fear. Falling off into the open ocean miles from shore. I never learned to swim, but have gone unconscious under the water twice. Just hearing your story makes me want to stay out of the water for a while.

Amazing to hear you made it back to shore, and grateful you're willing to share this with us all.

Rest well dude, you've earned it

You guys are wayyyyy ahead of us then. We have inspections by weights and measures once every 2 years. It used to be once a year but they're "overloaded". We have a yearly inspection by the fire department, but they are only looking for specific issues, and I don't believe flow rates are one of the things they look at.

Fuel levels in the ground are checked constantly and reconciled daily, but fluctuations in temperature have us over or short up to 60 gallons a day, so it's less accurate a representation of how calibrated the pumps are. California leaves it up to each station to stay on top of all the maintenance, but the fines for equipment not working right or tampered with are heavy to make the owners want to have accurate and properly working equipment.

The way they’re so casually talking about screaming in class is so odd. But it’s Reddit and everyone is autistic on here.

I think your wife knew you weren't well-versed on female anatomy when you told her breasts feel like bags of sand when you two were dating...

You’re a lunatic, this wasn’t self defense, you assaulted him.

You sound like a future stalker. She doesn’t want you anymore, move on. Get help if you can’t.

My ''female'' cat had to fall off a damn 2nd story window to be re-baptized as Nikito. Thankfully my second had not yet been named when we found he was a boy.

It’s hard when your goals were aligned, having so much in common, having the same interests, same humor, same mannerisms, same thinking. I’m just implying that there’s much more to what I’ve said. I didn’t throw the word soulmate out there just to make the situation more dramatic… although you guys believe me or not, she was and still is my soulmate, we have so much more in common. I just think if she walks away I’ll lose her forever. We understood each other. And I talked to her family. They told me to be persistent because they think she did it out of impulse. They said she’ll be back in a month or two.

😭😭

It’s really not that serious you probably listen to Taylor swift.

It would be an excellent punchline.

This sounds like being codependent. I get it I’ve been there and done that. You’ll meet plenty and I mean plenty of other people you like just as much I promise you. She isn’t the only girl in the world man, I can assure you there’s plenty. I completely get where you’re coming from, your story seems to have many parallels to my own and I promise you it gets better.
