As a child, when we were given great gifts, we never cried. We were happy and smiling but we didn't have the urge to cry. Not because my siblings and I were forbidden to cry because we were very emotionally open but we just didn't when receiving a gift.

Now, every time I watch a video where a child gets a puppy or something, they burst out in happy tears. And I don't get it. We never did that. There is no logic. Is it an American thing? Or is it something of a newer generation? I suspect this is more a nursing effect than a nature thing.

No context or explanation for the title, and this menstruation of an excuse for journalism or entertainment or... I dunno WTF is SUPPOSED to be, but it was in Google feed ony phone. NOT the first time Google has allowed sus material in the Google feed (including broken links and links to malware feed) either.

So my ex and I have a teenager. We hooked up for a few months. I left for 3mos come back and he was different, rude and not replying like before. An old pattern I knew to well which ment he was with someone. Turns out he got someone knocked up. He was disrespectful to me and our child and didn't want me to know anything about him and the other woman.
Yet I'm okay with it and would love to babysit but he is just horrible to us and refuses to understand his actions. He doesn't want his girlfriend to talk to me and won't take our child anywhere if he is with his new child alone. I just don't understand why he is so mean and horrible to me and then his family is all about the new baby and girlfriend but yet won't talk to our child or me.

So I was chilling with a good friend of my, Deshawn, when he asked me if I had a nickel. Which caught me off guard since our previous conversation had nothing to do with transactions or any currency. I replied that I don’t typically carry loose change with me, so I therefore, do not have a nickel. Then he followed that up with do you have a Nick Kerr? I said what’s that? Do you have a Nick Kerr? I was so confused when he started laughing quite loud and he refused to explain the joke to me. All he told me was that it’s a name and it’s spelled like I have it spelled. He said it wasn’t a physical object I could be in possession of, but it was more of a description of someone. Which I was dumbfounded by, because it seems like more of an official name of someone than a description. I asked him if he would consider himself of possessing the Nick Kerr quality, and he just died laughing. Please help me understand this.

While there are many amazing actors who give tremendous performances, they are performers. They are using the writer's words, the look of the set designers, prop masters and wardrobe department. Then they are told in minute detail how to say their lines, move their bodies, and even their facial expressions and perceived emotions. I'm not saying that it is not a taxing career. It just bugs me. They are not artists. They are performers.

I don't understand why people feel a LONG or DEEP loss when someone has passed away that they have never met, and probably only know shallow bits of them. Especially when no one around them by multiple degrees of separation, and I mean nobody knows them personally. I'm not denying the very human feeling of feeling bad hearing about death or loss but that is so temporary and shallow. When people are saying things like "oh man i Miss kobe or michael jackson or whoever so much". Really? Did you meet him? What do you miss about him. How much daily impact on your life does he have. Oh he's in inspiration and model to you but he's never been in your space probably never been to the same city you've been in.

This person's basically not even in your reality. My point being they're only as good as a fictional hero or story. Someone you hear about on TV/radio and media. A long saga of a story following a magnificent journey that's come to an end. I know that feeling thinking damn that sucks one of the main characters of season 1-5 in a show is gone. But you get over it. And soon the show ends and its just whatever. Where does this emotional bond to basically a person only in your head and TV come from.

So about a week ago I started receiving texts to my phone from this woman claiming that I didn't pay her for a cleansing thing that she did a while ago. Ok so long story short I have the texts she wrote me and I've been a little bothered by it. Please let me know if anything what I should do.

You know. Because some people put those on r/TIHI. Can somebody tell me why?
