Well what that implies to me is that she has an abusive/controlling/etc boyfriend or something, and well, that's what interventions and restraining orders are for.

Unless it was a Chechen boyfriend.

I'm not sure how many of you know about the Muppet Babies pornography thread that existed on the MSPA forums (Does not contain actual pornography), but not, Andrew Hussie's comics that he drew there are gone. Just gone. This is a sad day.

[penguinofhonor]

That is tragic. That thread survived five years while still remaining decently readable.

Good night, sweet prince.

Another fruitless day of looking for work. 'Nuff said.

I've just generally been feeling bad about myself the last few days, since school started, really. I haven't done anything productive other than going to school, and when I don't have anything to do, this really shitty feeling just crops up.

Okay, so I have a Sad/Wtf, and this was closer to the top. . .

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

My brother is 1 ^1/2 year younger, and in many ways my inferior.  Geneticly he seemed to inherit all (most) of the malfunctions (Cysts, Dissimilar legs, The propensity to migranes, and several others).  He also has my father's aweful Italian looks (I have, surprise the better ones), and mother's poor disposition and antiscoialism (to be fair I have a few select issues, just as alcoholic as my dad).

Anywho, so several widely accepted truths aside, I was always a dick to him.  I was a bit of a bully as a kid, and a dick as an adolescent.  He has led a life more similar to some here than not, and I helped that.  From my earliest memories chasing him around the bedroom to beat him up to informing th store clerk when he stole soda to intorducing him to weed to calling him soft and weak (and a shitbag, or an incompetent lazy punk who holds others back (Game addict, jobless, emotionally unstable) to having sex with no less than half his female friends, I was always there to make his life miserable.  Its one of the big things I regret.

The other day he 'came out' on Facebook.  Which would be fine.  If it was accurate.  He renounced women (I know for a fact he had/has lesbian porn and several select female love interests) and declared it was our stepmother who made him so.  She would always make him clean and cook and mentaly (physically I think too) beat on him.  But he only renounced women because now he lives in a liberal house (he got kicked out of my mother's for insulting her husband and stealing the monies) with a would-be gay author who runs in very particular circles.

I know what some here would be thinking "But he is gay, how do you can you say he isn't?  You aren't him and don't have the right!"  But knowing  him my whole life and having a rubberbandish relationship since high school (It got better when he moved into my mother's) he has told me he was at least bisexual.  He has the mags and a healthy interest in women.  He almost married one last year, for christ'ssake!

I fear he is submitting to peer pressure and further isolating himself from my family and his older friends; and further that I am unable to help him.  Not because he's gay, he doesn't need help that way.  But because he's confused and been beaten around his whole life.  The girl he was supposed to marry turned lesbian after sleeping with him a month or so (It was one of those marriages).  I feel he is awash in all this turmoil and simply needs support (and real therapy)  He has several unresolved issues and has done rash things before in th past, even trying to slice his wrists with a paperclip (when my mother hid the knives).  I want him to live well, but I've damaged our relationship almost too far. . .

I admit I have no solution, I have a brother who seems like he's slowly isolating himself from me and my family too.  I dunno if pursuing him, trying to spend time with him, trying to do nice things for him will help.  Maybe humoring him, like accepting his sudden homosexuality and just getting him to spend time with you and talk.  Maybe apologizing for what you did to him in the past.

Seriously, just telling him you accept his homosexuality (whether it's his choice or not) could make a world of difference.  When people said they accepted the fact that I'm gay... seriously it was life-changing, like a huge weight was taken off my shoulders.

[kaijyuu]

His renouncement of women could be on the emotional/romantic side, as well. Which given his history as you've given it, wouldn't surprise me. He might still be physically attracted to women but...

[RedKing]

Yeah....when you've turned a member of the opposite sex gay (even if he didn't actually have anything to do with it), that's an ego-killer.

You know when I said that one of my friends had died? Well it turns out they had killed themselves....goddamnit. Fuck FUCK FUCK FUCKFLDK

Okay. Get Chuck Norris, Saxton Hale, Brian Blessed, and Matthew Shultz together. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.

He's suggesting we create a singularity of awesomeness to collapse the universe and start over. Then, when the moment comes around, you can stop the incident.

Maybe it was too soon.

[Darvi]

So I've been thinking. Somewhen along the train of thoughts, I lost track. And now I forgot entirely what I was thinking about. 'tis annoying, frankly.
