Slacktivism... instead of all the hard work involved in actually trying to make the world a better place, just post a status (or better yet, "like" or share one).

Seconded - salt water doesn't hurt at all but also does very little to destroy the ulcer, so is a bit pointless IMO. Vinegar works a treat though.

If you can stomach it - it's not that bad - a licked finger's worth of dry salt directly onto the ulcer will do wonders. It's incredibly tempting to lick it off to stop the pain, but it will stop on its own once the salt dissolves in your saliva. Definitely recommend having a glass of water on hand afterwards, though, once the salt's done its job running some water over it won't negate its effects.

Serious advice now: No-one likes indecision in their work, so find what you like that you're even remotely good at, and stick with it. Don't flit from one thing to another, because that just smacks of a large lack of determination and drive. And people don't like you for that, and won't remember you for it. I mean, I get that you have a plucky spirit and a willingness to try new things, but there's a limit, man.

I might knock it down to just Thursday and Friday.

WARNING, SERIOUSLY HOMO CONTENTS.

Turns out the guy I've been so smitten with lately has gone down to London.
Yeah, that's pretty cool so far.
TO FUCK HIS EX.
...
THE FUCK.

I mean, I wouldn't be mad or irate if he'd started off by saying that he wasn't looking for a relationship, or that he just wanted to be friends with benefits. I could totally have dealt with that and I wouldn't be feeling so shaken.
But it's the fact we wen't round the city holding hands, looking at art galleries, sharing coffee. That's the sort of stuff that you do if you're looking to take it a little more seriously than being fuckbuddies.

In his defence, I can kinda see that you can't expect a proper relationship after 2 and a bit months talking online and 2 days together. I think what gets me is the fact that he'd clearly timetabled me. We barely spoke this week, and it makes sense why, he doesn't want fatty-fatty-bum-bum here waxing lyrical about how beautiful he is when he's got someone else lined up.

I'm not calling it as over though, I can deal with being a fuckbuddy. If anything it's better because I know for a fact that I'm better than whoever this other guy is. He's on tumblr complaining about messy post-fuck hair at midnight. Bitch please, we didn't get to that point til 3AM.

I think the bit that irks me is that he's happy to go on about the fun he's having tonight, but never said anything about us. I'm gonna take the line that a) he didn't have TIME to post anything while we were in proximity and b) maybe he didn't say anything because he values me a bit more and doesn't wanna brag about the more intimate things (not my theory, I'm sceptical)

Oh well, I'll wait for him to talk to me.

I'm really sorry to hear that man, having been in that situation even when you rationalize it it still hurts and sucks. But I really have to say one thing right now.

I don't understand why atheists- and I don't mean uneducated atheists who are intentionally antagonistic in an attempt to prove their nonconformity- seem so quick to mock Jesus.
From their perspective, Jesus is a man who either was delusional or who intentionally lied about being the son of God. I will explore the latter as I consider it more likely. This means that he was a man who saw the atrocities being committed by the religious folk of those days- times when it was commonplace to stone to the death any man or woman or child for even a single suspected sin- and who stood up to these purveyors of violence in the only way that could possibly have been effective in a society who valued piety over benevolence: by claiming to be the son of God himself.
This is an act of selflessness that goes far beyond ordinary martyrdom. It takes a courageous man to die for his beliefs, especially after having remained adamant in them through extensive torture... but in the case of religious martyrs, there is the element of hope involved. If they die for what they believe is the correct cause, they will be eternally rewarded, and any agonies they suffer in this world are only a necessary prelude to an earned paradise. If, however, a man has knowingly created the illusion of being a religious man to alter the common perceptions of what is proper and just, then he has done so without the promise of compensation. He has stood adamant in his beliefs through mockery, torture, and even in the face of his own mortality, purely for the good of mankind.
So go ahead and mock him if you wish, simply because he's become the most powerful symbol of a system you abhor. Bear in mind, however, that you are disrespecting the memory of a man who sacrificed everything he could to spread morality and benevolence, who was purely altruistic in ideals and selfless in intent, and who (again, from an atheistic perspective) valiantly stood up against the religious tyrants of his era.

And ya know, from a Christian perspective... I mean, he was still an alright dude.
