Opposite of that other question

It may be an object or a bug e. t. c. it doesn't matter. My question is do you like crushing anything with your feet if you like why do you like it?

There was a lad in my class and his face turned bright red if everyone's attention was on him, causing his embarrassment.

Do you blush, if so is it just your face, or is it your neck and chest that blushes too?

Also if you blush what makes you blush?

Or do you know anyone that blushes?

I have not really gotten off the ground running on just about everything in life. It is really hurting my self-esteem and has left me feeling ignored, irrelevant, bored, and feeling like I am losing my ever fucking mind.

I will provide a few examples:

One, I have been trying to sell my independent web services. I am a talented web developer. I acknowledge AI is making it easier to create web apps and websites, but not everyone has fully adopted it yet for these purposes. I had a few clients and created websites for them last year. I received mostly positive feedback, and I offered my services for a steal. I was supposed to work on one more website for another small business, and it has been over 6 months and I haven't heard a thing from them. That is now $1,500 I will not be getting. They are a landscaping supply company, so this time of year would be ideal. Meanwhile, I launched a website trying to gain clients. No calls, no web form submissions, nothing. I advertise, sometimes cold call, reach out to other recruiters and company owners... nothing. One of my clients from last year that I was told needed updates, they have yet to provide me with anything. Potential and existing clients are pulling back.

Then, I am spending a lot of my time now trying to advocate and raise awareness about our crumbling public safety infrastructure in my state, as it has become very problematic. I have spoken with news organizations, and they now either lie saying they will "get to it" or I am ignored and sidelined.

I feel like I am not taken seriously now, and that I have become irrelevant.

I don't know about all of you but sometimes ill catch myself randomly thinking back to moments of my life where i was confused by someone or something... and now i have this moment of 'of course!'

Anyone else ever do this?

The expression Drinking at the Last Chance Saloon probably originated from the old westerns, where the saloon was at the end of the town, the final chance for cowboys, outlaws, and rustlers to have a drink before riding off into the remote, sun-drenched, dusty plain.

The last chance saloon refers to a final, desperate opportunity to succeed or avoid failure, when someone has exhausted all previous chances.

The official evil twin of Have you ever felt like you were walking through hell in life?

Piggy backing off of @ElenaSeluna question When someone says, “I have good news and bad news” which one do you ask for first, and why?

Lets say you were just informed your pet has died... however you also were informed that you won $100 million from either the lottery or some other event.

how do you think you'd feel in this moment?

I think its because men can't get over when a woman doesn't choose them so they think of stuff they feel will stick as a way to 'get back' at you women.

The actual reality is a lot of women tend to be happier single than men here's a nice study on that:

and another link for good measure:

So to all the men on here making this dumbass accusation: get over yourselves! You weren't chosen for a reason. look within and figure it out. I did and now things are much better! introspection work!

And to women if you come across any dudes who try to berate you for not choosing them or saying other misogynistic or incel shit... just laugh at them. mockery especially by attractive women will get to them more than anything else. thats my advice to you.

anyway just wanted to rant. Focker out! lol
