Simultaneously pressing Shift and Alt will cycle your keyboard language settings. Happens to me quite a lot because I use Alt+Shift+S to post.

What is this sorcery.

Alt+Shift+S, in Firefox at least, will submit your post, works for most forum software I encounter on my daily crawl.

Bauglir, would that procedure help with the problem, though? Leaving medical problems untreated would probably be much more impractical than dealing with recovery during a move. Then again, I'm missing details here.

I have nobody who is both willing and able to get the time off to accompany me through the procedure on short enough notice, which is required for general anesthesia, and I certainly don't have anybody who can take enough time off to hang around and help out with wound packing after I'd be discharged, and I also have nobody to help me get the actual moving done (furniture's heavy, I'll need my full mobility to deal with it). It's a relatively minor problem, basically an irritant with a slight infection risk, which I've put up with for 5 or 6 years already - so basically, it looks like it'll be more practical to wait until after graduate school, until I have another job with insurance as good as what I've got now, to get it handled.

And, of course, there's a nonzero chance that the procedure would accomplish nothing and the problem would return anyway.

what do I do now? I'm done having relationships..

Google up 'MGTOW.'

It gets better.  There is support for men with broken hearts - I hope you find what you need.

[Bauglir]

I'm going to say, though, be very careful. A helpful, supporting community is very good, and you definitely deserve one. You've been unjustly hurt by somebody you reasonably expected to care for you. Based on what I've heard, and judging by MGTOW's website, though, they're as much about having a community to reassure you that their choice of scapegoat is reasonable as they are about anything that will actually help you feel better about yourself. Take your allies where you can find them, and seek out the strength you need to build yourself back up, but don't actually buy into much of anything they tell you about anybody else. Trust me, you can be strong enough to survive this without needing anybody but your ex to blame.

Mom and her boyfriend are screaming at each other. Never heard it this bad before.

It's getting pretty bad. They are both blaming each other for everything and I'm getting dragged into this shit-fest.

Today is a roller-coaster of shit.

Now shit is being thrown at me, and my mom is pissed at me.

Still screaming.

[Pnx]

My mother has MRSA in the bone in her foot after having foot surgery, it's looking like she might lose the foot, or part of it anyway... and she's been going crazy about it. She's kind of emotionally unstable at the best of times, and this has seriously driven it up to 11... And I'm really not sure how to deal with all of this.

It's probably best to avoid that place.  It seems like a sure way to trade sadness for bitterness.  The SPLC talks about MGTOW here, down by the picture of the mustache guy:

[RedKing]

Jesus H. Christ....there's times I'm glad I don't keep up with all the news. These guys sound like grade-A cockmongers who are mostly mad at women for recognizing them as grade-A cockmongers.

wtf is wrong with people these days

[Bauglir]

Yes, a statistically significant number of them are, but this probably isn't the thread to be getting into that overly much. The important part here is that a community of people who equate their personal freedom and strength with bitterness at other people is not going to help highmax28 get past what's happened if he buys into their rhetoric - if anything, it'll only give the pain he's feeling now more power over his life.

My suggestion: Go learn another language. I hear Gaelic is making a come-back!

* Descan shoves Fearful Jesuit in a closet along with his Greek, Latin, and Sanskrit books.

Yep. Gaelic is the way.

* Descan bolts on wood to the closet door.

Scotland!

[Rose]

* Japa waves the sanskrit flag proudly.

[Descan]

... Damnit.

* Descan needs another closet.

[Rose]

Bitches love sanskrit.

[Tack]

Sanskrit... The Latin of the middle east?

[LordSlowpoke]

my knowledge of sanskrit is not expansive enough to construct a phrase such as "yeah nah latin is a cunt came later"

... Damnit.

* Descan needs another closet.

ooh

oooooooooooooooh
