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:

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

Thats gotta be probably the most common name of people i know lol. A lot of Ryans. i know about 5 of them.

So apparently this is a huge fad lately. kids riding their e bikes. they ride on our street over and over again all day. i almost wonder if they even go to school lol.

Got any kids riding them in your neighborhoods?

I actually did this once. i was coming back up from San Diego. the traffic was a nightmare and i was getting kinda sleepy so i just pulled into a parking lot and took a nice nap while the traffic died down.

Everyone else is laughing but you're scratching your head not getting the joke.

I am 31 years old. I have held 25 jobs since the age of 15. I have been hospitalized in a psych hospital more than 20 times. In my late teens/early 20s, I became obsessed with finding another virgin to lose my virginity to. I lost my virginity at age 20 to a 16 year old young woman, and later I was arrested and convicted of stalking after trying to desperately and pathetically win her love. I ended up losing my EMT license after the entire ordeal. Then I went into software engineering and because I became desperate after trying to find a woman without a romantic past (after realizing being a woman's first love was more important than taking her virginity), I managed to get myself into an even more troublesome situation. I ended up getting kicked out of the software engineering community and being blacklisted all around town.

I finally managed to find the love of my life, and we are now married. We are each other's first real relationship. I regret all my stupidity from the past, but how as it stands, I am 31 years old and barely leave the house. Now I just collect disability.

Mine are very complicated so im finally getting them done today lol.

It's St Patrick's Day... may the Luck o' The Irish Be Upon Ye.

The harp is a well-known musical instrument in Ireland, with some saying it has magical powers.

Which one is which?

The Romanian name Dracul means the "devil", and dracula means "son of the devil" and acting as the "Prince of Darkness".

Dracula can turn into a bat or mist and enters homes through windows at night, and claims sleeping victims.

Spiders and creepy crawlers also enter homes with windows open at night, and can make a meal out of unsuspecting sleeping people.

I keep my windows firmly closed at night.

What is your opinion?
