I'm considering drastically improving myself, getting some money, and then doing an identity change (the works) to get back with my ex and break her heart like she did to me.

What do you think of that? I've gotten mixed responses on here. The Summer crowd seems to think it's cool where as the Spring crowd just fucking hated it.

Also, Is Gentleman Jack hype, or actually worth paying more for? If I wanted something that didn't taste harsh I'd just buy a different brand, but then again I don't know much about drinks.

Hello, my friend. While I find your considerations admirable, I find their purpose and motivation to be less than your stature. Have you considered employing your goals toward a more efficient end? A positive change in your life may very well result in a change of goals, my friend.

Greetings to you as well, my friend. As much as I hate to decline a question so early in my thread, I must do so in this case. My current profession is not one worth mentioning or disclosing in particular detail, as I am so much more than my career.

>Also, Is Gentleman Jack hype, or actually worth paying more for?
There is definitely a difference in taste, but I do not believe the flavor justifies such. This bottle was a gift from a satisfied patron (among other things) after a job well done, hence my possession of it. I normally restrict my choice in alcohol to regular Jack Daniels or Wild Turkey.

Hello, my friend, and welcome to my thread. I prefer my cigarettes over the new trends in smoking mainly due to the familiar feel and taste. I, for one, am willing to accept the ramifications for these habitual preferences. As for you, I am curious, why do you think others should "catch on" to your preferences so strongly that you use such language to persuade?

sorry to tell you but only inferior males smoke

Recently, I've been feeling like I'm behind where I want to be in life for several reasons. It's a new feeling, because I've usually been content with where I was. This has brought on a new variety of stress that I'm not entirely familiar with, but I feel like I've become more conscientious.

What are some good habits to adopt right now that will get me through my 20's without being broke, disappointed and unhappy?

Because you are a senior, I presume that you are well educated in your chosen field of study. My advice is to take an umbrella and go for a walk for at least two hours; if you come across someone else walking alone strike up a conversation with that individual if possible. Try to intermingle your knowledge with conversation pieces relating to your new conversationalist's life. If nothing else, you will have enjoyed a walk.

>For a long time they were very opposed and upset.
I have known many trans-people in my life, and I've yet to hear a story where the parents have not been initially opposed. That said, you must understand that your life-choices affect more than your life, and that those two people are the very cause of your creation -- thus their interest in your well-being. While your life is your own to do as you please and to live as you choose, you must also remember the emotional investments that others have made into you and never forget that they love you despite any lingering resentments over your choices.

When was the last time you told them that you love them and thanked them for their support?

Perhaps a better question is what it would take for you to forgive them?

"To forgive is to set the prisoner free, and then discover the prisoner was you."

>I think I'm still bitter about it. If I had children and one of them turned out to be trans, I would have been wholly supportive from the outset.
Forgive the excessive use of quotes, but to that I offer you the following...

"In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since: Whenever you feel like criticizing any one, he told me, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had."
-- F. Scott Fitzgerald, on Perspective (The Great Gatsby)

If I may be so bold as to set the jokes aside, may I first inquire as to why you are troubled by the knowledge of your privacy being intruded upon? This is not to suggest that the government is correct in its actions, but instead to establish the perspective you're approaching it from.

Do you mean the racism they tried to instill in me?

Okay, that was a cheap shot, but I don't rate their parenting very highly. Especially the part where they said they thought I was a freak because I enjoyed studying and reading rather than going out with other people my age and causing trouble. Or where they "gave up" on me because I was sick of them asking me to do chores that they were too lazy to do themselves.

My brother is probably using drugs again.
He's on parole but, due to him being a low priority felon/parole incompetence he's smoking meth and heroin and stealing form parents. I sadly have to live with this situation as well.
I went to his parole officer and she told me to go to the regular police, I go to them and they tell me to go to the parole officer.
Who should I talk to?

That made me think about not going through with it in the first place, in that I still do have feelings for my original self. I'll make sure not to get completely lost in it.

Seneca, i want to quit smoking because I know how many people suffer from awful diseases and die generation after generation from cigarettes, but because I feel fine now and have adecent bill of health, I feel as if those same experiences wont apply to me.

This may be a foolish and naive question, but have you confronted him about these concerns yet?

>I went to his parole officer and she told me to go to the regular police, I go to them and they tell me to go to the parole officer. Who should I talk to?
If you haven't spoken with your brother yet, then I suggest you go to him first. If not him, then my next suggestion is to wait until he is indulging in such degradation within your home again, call the police and report him without mentioning his violation of probation.
