people claim to understand that progress isn't linear and recovery can take a long time until it becomes personally inconvenient to them and then you're just a stupid lazy bastard to them no matter how you behaved before you became outwardly sick or how hard you've been trying to get better. and i will be mad about that forever

Bihhhh Gabe - kitchen. Genji - bathroom Jack - attic Jesse - bedroom. You don’t have to do them alllll
Bih you know I’m gonna. 
These are my personal HCs for LtR, read below the cut:
Gabe - Kitchen:
What is the character’s favourite food?
Gabe’s eaten a wide variety of foods, but nothing will ever beat his abuela’s cooking. Her carne asada is just the best. It just is. And don’t get him started about her tamales.
Are they good at cooking? How good/bad?
Gabe is the best cook in the household. He’s no 5 star chef, but he knows what spices are and how to use them, unlike Jack, who uses none, and Genji, whose version of cooking is to dump everything he can find in a pan and then forget he was attempting to cook until the fire alarm reminds him.
Do they leave the dishes out?
Seeing dishes left on the counter, on the stove, or even in the sink makes Gabe flinch like his abuela’s smacked his knuckles with a wooden spoon when he was younger for such offenses. He physically can not stand to leave dishes out.
What kind of food is in their refridgerator?
Wiith high-calorie intaking veterans and a bottomless pit named Jesse in the house, they have to keep stocked. There is always a ridiculous amount of eggs and bacon in the fridge, peppers and onions galore, apple juice for Genji and sports drinks for the guys, beer Jesse thought he could hide, meats and vegetables Gabe plans on using that week for a meal or three, sandwich fixings that only Jesse and Jack really seem to use. That’s just the fridge. The pantry is ridiculous.
Do they cook, eat out or get take-away/delivered food more?
As much as Gabe likes to cook, he doesn’t cook incredibly often. Maybe twice a week if work isn’t too heavy on him. Gabe tends to order or pick up food on his way home for everyone. Gabe is more inclined to cook if someone asks him to make something specific that week. Gabe will especially help cook when they visit his abuela, and is an unstoppable force in the kitchen for holidays.
———————-
Genji - Bathroom:
How does the character prepare in the morning?
Genji is early to rise most of the time, not able to sleep once the warm body next to him is gone (he indulges more in sleeping in once Jesse is one of those warm bodies). Which is good, considering he’ll take his time getting ready for the day. Full face wash, careful makeup application, hair perfectly gelled or moussed. He’ll take forever getting dressed, wanting Jack’s (or whoever he can trap) opinion on what panties he should wear, which day collar to show off, which of his ridiculous collection of plugs to wear. He’ll catch up on beauty and fashion people he follows on social media the whole time he’s getting ready.
Do they sing in the shower?
By himself, no. Genji showering by himself will usually just be him staring at the wall for 35 minutes. Genji does not like to shower alone. When he gets to shower with Jesse, they’ll listen to music and sing along as loudly and obnoxiously as possible. Attempted dance moves have resulted in some chain-reaction slipping and falling and therefore are not repeated.
What kind of hair product/make-up do they use?
Genji’s hair stylist, Amelie, gives him his hair products. They’re all French and he has no idea what’s in them, but she would kill him if he used anything else. Makeup, Genji has it all, as far as brands go. Especially anything that’s getting rave reviews online or is a new trend. Jack makes him clean out his makeup boxes and drawers every few months due to it accumulating at a ridiculous rate.
How clean is this character?
Genji is ridiculous. He hates sweat on him for too long. Outdoor activities are usually avoided, as there’s dirt out there. Genji will indulge in a spa day usually twice a month to scrub him down and wax everything, as well as get an immaculate mani/pedi experience. The boy’s nails are always pristine and clean. And I was just talking to Trash about enemas for a reason… He’s clean inside and out.
Does the character have thousands of shampoo/shower gel bottles by the shower, or do they use only the bare essentials?
Genji has a stupid plethora of body washes, perfumes, soaps, oils, and bath bombs. He loves to smell good. But Amelie would crash through a window and destroy him the second he bought any hair product she didn’t recommend. At least that’s what he think she’d do, anyway. Better not to risk it.
——————–
Jack - Attic:
What is the character afraid of?
Jack is a war veteran, plagued by nightmares consisting of memories twisted into things of horror. He’s seen and done things he’d rather not repeat, ever, not in action or word. Despite being in the BDSM community, Jack is afraid he will hurt someone, truly hurt them. He doesn’t trust himself to deliver pain for pleasure when it gets to a certain point. And he will not choke someone.
How do they deal with bad memories?
Usually their memories crop up in the form of nightmares, though explosions and gunfire will occasionally bring forward some flashbacks. Gabe grounds him, and he does the same for Gabe, bringing each other back to the present. When Genji came into his life, Genji would be there for the nightmares and the flashbacks, and learned quickly how to ease him back down. Jack has some bad memories regarding his family and hometown, but he’ll just harden his expression and press past it if they ever come up.
What is this character’s role in a horror movie?
Jack would call the police on a spooky house. He doesn’t play that shit lol. In the midst of actual danger, though, Jack would be the one to gather everyone together and come up with the plan to get out of the situation alive.
How do they hide their secrets?
Jack is pretty open at this point in his life. If someone doesn’t know something about him, it’s probably just because they haven’t asked about it. As a younger man, Jack struggled with learning himself so much he developed many secrets, mostly about how he really felt about things versus how people expected him to feel. He used bullheaded pride and anger to cover himself when he was feeling like he would be exposed, but in the end he merely came clean and freed himself from secrets.
Which of the Seven Deadly Sins does the character relate to most?
Pride. Jack may be open about himself but he likes to maintain an image, which, when challenged, makes that old prideful attitude rear its head again. Gabe has known him for so long that he’ll pick at Jack’s prideful side and humble him at times.
——————
Jesse - Bedroom:
How does this character sleep? (Position, sleeping habits, bedtime routines)
Jesse just falls asleep when he feels like it. Not much prep to it. He’ll get jostled by Gabe to wake up and go brush his teeth when he falls asleep without doing it first. Jesse usually lays on his back or stomach, ending up in weird positions and places in bed half the time, but if someone wants to spoon or have him snuggle up to them, he’ll lay on his side… though he usually ends up squirming away. He runs hot at night and gets sweaty up against another body.
What are their pyjamas like?
Flannel pajama pants and an old, soft, too-large-on-him shirt of Gabe’s in cooler months, just silly boxers that Genji (and sometimes Gabe) get him when it’s warmer.
What do they dream about usually?
Santa Fe, his Mama, and Gabe.
How neat/tidy is this character?
Jesse doesn’t try to be messy, but he ends up thinking he’ll come back to something or someplace, only to get distracted and leave his mess behind for someone else to find. He’ll help clean up the kitchen after Gabe cooks, and he keeps his personal bedroom tidy. He won’t fret over organization, however, and his clothes are never folded right. He’s a strange kind of in-between with his tidiness.
How affectionate is this character?
Jesse will sling an arm around someone as he stands with them, but generally doesn’t outright show affection unless he really needs it. He will cuddle the shit out of his boyfriends in private, though.

This Just In: Luna Retires from the Rant!
That's right guys, Luna the Ranter is coming down for good. I know that I've been dormant for a very long time now, despite promising two new series and scratching down a whole bunch of new ideas. There are a few reasons for this. I know that I don't have many followers but most of the ones I do have have been with me for a long time and I feel that you deserve an explanation.
Why, Luna, why?!
I have several reasons for my exit.
1. I moved to Napoli and got a job as a teacher.
That's right, I'm living in sunny Italy doing the job I always wanted to do, which sounds idyllic... I'm very busy. The school have a lot of faith in my ability, which means they are not treating me like a new teacher; just to start with, I am currently teaching 8 courses in my first week, most of which are brand new and have no plans or materials associated with them. This means that I usually get to the office for 9am and don't leave before 8pm because there is so much planning to be done - and I'm only going to get busier.
Additionally, I have to maintain a professional image and let's not pretend that this blog is in any way professional. If my superiors were to find something like this under my name, it could diminish the faith that they have in me and limit my opportunities. Even though this is unlikely to happen, it is something I have to consider at this time in my life.
2. Let's face it, this blog is flat.
You guys are great. You always give me feedback and share your thoughts and views about my topics. But there are only 14 of you, and two of those are my own blogs #shamelessselfpromotion. To be honest I don't see any point in dedicating time to a social issues blog if I don't have the platform to influence people or actually make a difference. LtR used to be something that I did because I was passionate about it; now it is something I do (or don't do, as the case may be) for a handful of people who may or may not be reading it.
3. Some of my rants got personal.
Needless to say really, it's never a good idea to blurt out things on the internet. Unfortunately, when my anger has had the better of me I have written things about people with whom I have since reconciled. I want them gone, and that's the last of it.
4. I don't have a laptop.
My laptop died and then died again and has finally given up the ghost completely. Although I have access to computers at work, it would be extremely unprofessional to use them for this purpose and writing on my phone makes my eyes go square.
5. I'm just not angry anymore.
This is the bottom line of it, guys. I don't get angry like I used to. I grew up, I moved on. Perhaps I'm more mature, perhaps I'm just sick and fucking tired of the bullshit. Either way, I just want to live my own life in peace. I don't have the time, energy or headspace to complain about the rest of the world or deal with its issues. I have so much going on in my own life that I don't need or want the extra stress. I'm working 8 or 9am til 8 or 10pm 6 days a week and when I get out of work the last thing I want to do is spend two or three hours getting angry about the world's bullshit. I just want to give love to the people I care about, have some laughs and be calm. This blog can't do that for me.
LtR used to be a place for me to vent when the world made me angry. Now the world makes me so tired that the anger has left my system - in fact, the anger left my system a long time ago. Not only that, after writing my dissertation on the shit state of the mental health system in South Korea I have discovered that a better ways to make a change are to write serious academic papers about serious issues and to get directly involved in the systems which represent those issues and force them to make changes.
These are my reasons for taking down Luna the Ranter. I hope you will understand and if you have any questions or comments, the blog will stay up until the end of February; you know where my ASK is.

Reframe
h/t @trp 
I will use Stoic philosophy to explain Outcome Independence. Stoicism is Greco-Roman philosophy with the goal of accepting reality as the key to inner peace. This allows you to become a clear thinker so you can optimize your energy to virtuous causes that you can contribute to. Essentially, Stoicism is a philosophy of maintaining Frame. I’ll focus now on how to use it to become Outcome Independent.
When confronted with a problem, a Stoic would ask if it is something outside your control, or in your control. If the problem is outside your control, then a Stoic concludes that since there is nothing you can do about it, so you shouldn’t worry. Accept that, and move on to other things. There is no point in wasting energy if you can’t affect the outcome. This is the reason, for example, I don’t even worry about the possibility of being struck by a meteorite as I type this. Yeah, it can happen, but there is nothing I can do about it, so why bother? On the other hand, if something is under your control, then, the stoic would say there is no reason to worry either because you can manage the issue! I don’t worry about breathing right now because breathing is right now fully under my control.
That is all there is to staying calm when facing problems: if something is outside your control, don’t waste emotional energy on it. If something is inside your control, plan what you will do about it, work hard at it, but don't worry more. So far, this is all very obvious, so if this was what Zeno, Cicero, Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius talked about, what is the big fuss?
Well, the fuss is that there are some problems that are not fully under our control, or fully out of control. One such problem is increasing sex with your wife. Clearly part of it is under your control, but she has a lot of power over the whole thing as well. This is why we worry so much about such problems: we can’t put it in the category of “don’t worry, I got it” nor in the category of “don’t worry, there is nothing I can do about”. It is a partial control problem, and we try to do well with what is under our control, but then we get frustrated for what isn't, try to things under our control that are ineffectual or backfire and then we over do it. This makes us pathetic, desperate, and unattractive in LTRs. These partial control problems are the ones that make us waste energy, lose frame, and lose perspective. They lead to frustration and even resentment, and these are all very unattractive.
The Stoics noticed that there is one power that you have to conquer all these problems. This post is about that power. This is power nobody can ever take away from you. This power is the key to having Frame, Outcome Independence, passing all the shit tests, and getting all the sex you want.
"Man is disturbed not by things, but by the views he takes of them." - Epictetus
We have the power to redefine problems. Others might try to define problems for us, but we should always reject that, it is giving away our power. Always define the problem in terms of what is under your control, and what isn’t. The way to always have Outcome Independence is that we have to redefine the problem in a way that we do not depend on others or circumstances to obtain them. Why? Because others are not under our control, so we slide into their frame. So instead we change our perception of the problem such that it is all under our influence. This is Outcome Independence: we define the problem such that the other person has zero power over affecting its outcome. We are not subject to anyone in this way.
To make it more concrete, I’ll go now to a reason many people in LTRs come here: husbands wanting more/better sex from their wives. Here lies the problem. The problem isn't the wife closing her legs. The problem is how the husband defined the issue! The husband has give up all his power over this by how he defined it and has given the wife all the power. She now can close her legs, there is nothing he can do about that. So the husband worries and becomes resentful because he can’t control her. The Stoics would tell the husband to accept he can’t control her and stop begging her. Instead, the stoic husband must redefine the problem into something that is under his control. Decide you will work hard to become the man women want to have sex with. For example, workout, improve your assertiveness and expand your social circles. This is all 100% under the husbands control. Eat better, dress better, become the best version of you. This is all under the husbands control. Why? Because by focusing on all that, the husband doesn’t have to worry about what is outside his control. But also, this redefinition makes it more likely to make him happier because he will become more attractive, which increases the likelihood of having sex either with the wife, or with anyone else.
The Stoics would advise men in LTRs: Become Outcome Independent by focusing on self improvement, which is all under your control. Don’t worry about your wife's actions, she isn’t under your control. This redefinition a form of light dread, but notice how powerful it is: there is nothing the wife can do to stop you from getting to your goal now of becoming a better man. You defined the problem now so she has no power over you, but you seem more powerful to her. You reframed the problem to maintain frame. You changed the power dynamics only because you redefined the issue. This sense of power comes from your OI, and it is incredibly attractive in itself! Nobody likes someone that begs for stuff, but everyone loves someone that is driven to success and want to be part of his life. Note that OI frees you from resentment because she can’t block your way to your goals anymore. This has a side effect that you also become happier with her, which also improves the relationship. And if she comes around and starts giving you head, great. But if she doesn’t, then you are ready to Next her for someone else. Independent of what she decides to do, you get the Outcome that you wanted. You don't demand she desires you, you just become a desirable man independent of her opinion of you.
This Stoic trick requires big cojones. By redefining the problem such that the burden is on you, it means you can't blame others anymore for your lack of success, you must face the challenge, you have no excuses now. This is what is so hard about this: it just reminds you are always the captain, even when you are drunk. Some feel oppressed by this responsibility and prefer to stay as a drunk captain to forget it.
This is the ultimate way to demonstrate Frame: you are the only person that defines the problems in your life. You do so in such a way you that the burden of overcoming challenges becomes all yours. You don't blame others, you don't beg to others. But you put all your energy on solving that problem you defined, and waste none in worrying about what is not under your control. Most people can’t do this. But those that do it become leaders, because others sense how they will get to the goal, and try to join them to be part of the ride. This is attraction. And all comes from a very simple mind hack that some dead greeks came up with. Don’t say you want more sex from your wife. Say you want to become the man women want to have sex with. This way the outcome if fully under your control!
tl;dr - Redefine problems always such that you fully control their outcome. This places the burden of overcoming challenges fully on you, but also, frees you from having to beg others to do what you want. This is Outcome Independence. This creates attraction.
Redefining the problem can easily be done by internalizing your goals and make them independent from external factors not under your control. In this case my goal was to have sex with my wife, my wife is an external factor (to my mind and control) which makes that goal partly under her control. I reset that goal to work on myself so that i become the most attractive version of myself to her. that way all the components to reach that goal are internal (to my mind and my control) and fulfilling it is completely up to me. This is really just rephrasing your tl;dr but it might help someone to better understand/apply the method.

I'm a black woman and sometimes think this has everything to do with it. I haven't had a LTR in 7 years and sex in 3. Sometimes I can go a year without any intimate touch. I have posted my photos on the Rate Me sub a few times throughout the years and had a positive response. Besides a few months last year when I was feeling depressed, I've maintained a good figure/weight. I just feel like no matter what, guys don't seem all that interested in me. Some have outright treated me like they couldn't stand me. I have gone to therapy for past trauma, which helped me navigate dating somewhat better.But I always feel like I'm someone's second choice or just good enough until someone they want comes along. I use dating apps. The men on there never seem that excited or enthusiastic about meeting me even when they ask me out. A lot of guys lately who have shown interest in me have serious problems - unstable careers, obese/significantly overweight, complaining about their pay or childhoods on the first date, showing up looking disheveled or very late to the date. I have met a few people IRL socially when I was in my 20s. They tended to be just looking for a diversion and those never went past one date, if it ever reached that point.I just feel like I'm never emotionally on the same page with any men. My NYE date didn't even try to touch or kiss me, it was our second date. I've recently had some crappy intimate experiences. The last one was a third meetup with a guy, a rich guy who runs a successful company. We met at a hotel because he doesn't want me to know where he lives. He could not maintain an erection (and his penis was incredibly small but that's beside the point). We were not going to have sex, but messing around was nearly impossible. Before him, the guy I was with didn't want to touch me or kiss. He just asked me to go down on him and he couldn't sit still. Before him, same t hing - just go down on me with no reciprocation. And a handful of men who I had 3-4 dates with who ended up kicking me out their apartment when I wouldn't put out, two of whom told me after the fact that they were in relationships.I believe most men just ask me out when they're desperate or need sex. Hence why they show up on the date late, not caring, acting weird, or seem ok at first so I go along with it, then they cut things off after 3 or 4 meetups. I've actually had multiple men carry things on with me while actively dating women they like, only to say they met someone else and block me.I'm just feeling very discouraged at this point because I'm about to turn 33. It also doesn't help that most of my old friends/acquaintances are no longer in touch with me in their own serious relationships. And I miss having sex. I miss feeling close with someone. And it feels impossible when, it seems, nearly every guy I talk to has huge issues or if not, is just not interested in me. Men rarely show interest in my life. They don't seem excited to date me. It's like they're going through the motions. Is there anything I can do to change this? Or cope with this? via /r/dating_advice

Insurance when buying a used car?
I'm going to buy a used car next week from a private seller and I am concerned about the insurance. I've heard that you need to have insurance to drive it but what should I do? I am 20 years old and I've looked up temporary insurance and most of them you have to be 21 years or older and some are around 200 for 1 day cover but you have to have a Full UK Driving Licence for at least 6 months when in my case, I've only had it since yesterday as I passed my test yesterday. So what should I do? Get the full insurance and tell them this cars registration number or not get insurance at all and assume I get 7 days free insurance when buying this used car from the private seller?""

Will third party car insurance compensate me if i don't have car insurance myself?
I do have car insurance that's for a start, but my insurance is threatening me that if i don't pay an extra premium to update my policy, they will cancel it. With that being said if the third party have already admitted liability will I still be compensated for my damage to my vehicle and injuries? The reason why they need to update my policy is because when I did the quote online I inputted the amount of cars in the household as 1 instead of 3 (my error) but upon going back to their website to retry the quote with 1 car vs 3 cars in the household, it turns out cheaper to have 3 cars instead of the one so i cant understand why I would need to pay more to get something cheaper. Now I don't want to pay 200 to update my policy for the remaining time on my policy which is roughly a month;s time, if they do cancel my policy will the third party insurance still compensate me? Thanks in advance""

Car Rental USA Insurance?

I understand if it's on a leased car but why on 100% paid off private cars? Mortgage companies make borrowers buy home insurance as a condition to get the Liam but once the mortgage is paid off you're free to not insure your property. Why is it legal for insurance companies to force all car owners to buy coverage? It's not constitutional no different than forcing them to buy health insurance.

In New York: Best health insurance on the cheap?
This information is for my stepdaughter and her family. After long term unemployment her husband recently went back to work as a trucker. He might bring home around $500 per week. They presently have no health insurance, although she said a New York State program would cover her two younger children. This leaves her and husband uninsured because his new job has no health coverage. Somehow she found a company willing to insure them for around $200+ a month. What this insurance covers I do not know. (By the premiums, I don't think much) The problem is they don't have much more than the $200+ to pay per month. Can someone tell me how to find(in New York) legitimate insurance companies with affordable cost? Also how can I educate myself on health insurance, the details, so that I can advise them correctly? They're in their late 30s and in reasonably in good health. Any an all advice greatly appreciated Tony""

Why is health-care so expensive?
Just last year in CA Medi-Cal (state medicaid) stop covering for dentistry and optometry for people over 21. The total cost of my dental braces is $4550. I need them so I can fix some teeth that are misaligned. I pay $100 and it seems like its a never ending balance. I been doing this for 2 years now. I have Medi-Cal because of my SSI but that doesnt cover anymore because I am 21. My mother had heart surgery in 2007 and we still haven't payed a bill. My parents don't have any insurance. They used to have Medi-Cal but when Schwarzenegger became the governor in 2003 he made some changes to the policies and they stop having Medi-Cal. She tried applying for SSI but she keeps getting denied. The republicans should stop attacking Obama and work together to pass the health-care reform.
