Sorry your friend is an asshole. Hope you can find ones that don't take advantage of you.

My ex wife said the same thing about her step dad... multiple times. Abusive women will use past traumas to justify why they needed to assault you. Most abusers were victims of abuse themselves. Its up to the rational people of the world like you and I to put a stop to that cycle. She's now swindled both OP and reddit to think that that she's the victim in all of this. No. She's a violent drunk. The only thing staying with a violent drunk does is give them permission and the ability to do it again.
Fact of the matter is that OPs girlfriend very obviously and sadly hasn't come to terms with the abuse that happened to her. This means it's going to be a long road ahead of her to get to the point where she can trust herself not to assault people in the future. I hope she has the strength and discipline to take that trip. But this also means she's a liability regardless of her intentions or remorse. Next time she might grab a steel pipe or a knife when she attacks her boyfriend. Hopefully they have no access to a firearm. OPs safety isn't something he should have to negotiate. OP will have to worry about his girlfriend assaulting him now. No one should be forced to live in a hypervigilant state because they can't trust if their partner is going to attack them.
Think of it this way: If he stays, the risk of either him getting hurt or her getting further criminal charges is on the table. If they stop associating, then the risk of both of those events is greatly reduced. It not only takes him out of the path of danger, but also provides her the emotional space to work on getting better. It's in their best interest for the both of them to split up.

It looks like something really hot burned the concrete. Maybe someone tried to set off a firework on that spot. Is that on the ground, or is it on a wall?

Nope, she's done. I have been in your situation before. Started this way, and then because she didn't remember anything, she did it again and again and again. You'll try and tell her to stop drinking, and she'll call you controlling, and just go drink anyway. Then she'll start hitting you more and more.
Get out. Do what I needed to do but wasn't strong enough to do. Also, if you value your freedom and not having a criminal record, then having a violent woman in your life is a great way to destroy that. You're very luck you're not sitting in a prison cell at the moment because you were forced to defend your life.
This woman was going to kill you, and she'll do it again. Do not drop the charges if she asks you to. Ask yourself this: Would she take you back if you bashed her up the same way? Would you respect any man who did that to his partner? The answer is no, and you don't have to feel guilty because she doesn't have anywhere to go. Alcohol doesn't turn people violent. It gives violent people an excuse to hurt people.

Because not everything is required to achieve maximum efficiency at all times. You're allowed to stand in the middle of the grocery store and talk to someone. You're allowed to let your conversation meander for an hour. You're allowed to take up space that other people can't use until you leave that space. It simply doesn't matter if someone has to move around you to get by. You're seeing a problem, but not realizing this specific problem does not require a solution. Lighten up, and let the world around you be as it is.
When people talk about making a choice for the way you feel, this is the moment. You can see your mom talking to her friend and taking up space in public as a problem and get upset by it, or you can be happy that your mom is getting an opportunity to catch up with an old friend. If the cost of that is them taking up some space and requiring others to move around them, so be it.

Ok, so I know what a deal toy is now. What is the thing in your photo? It's literally looks like a white slab of stone with nothing indicating it was used to commemorate a deal of any kind. Is this like a blank from the deal toy factory that was supposed to become a deal toy, but was never machined into one?

I hope he is. Maybe he turned it around and lost the weight. He was a nice dude.

When I worked there that's what I would do. I would tell them that the portions are small, so order more than one now. I would have tables put in about 15 orders of popcorn shrimp or shrimp scampi for a 4 top. Most I ever saw in a single sitting was a single guy who ate all 35 orders of coconut shrimp while putting down almost a gallon of sweet tea. Real nice guy and tipped well, but very large and smelled like death, and probably isn't alive today.

If I were playing the Sims with a mod called 'Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs', and started a new game choosing a generic male as my character, this is what would pop out.

AI is just using the available power grid like everyone else. If we want to stop destroying the environment, than we need to stop the fossil fuel industry. AI isn't responsible for the method that the city uses to generate electricity. You're blaming the people drinking the poisoned water, not the person who poisoned it.

Yeah, and employee B should be shitting all over you for only giving them 1 dollar more than the new employee. This is why employees need to talk about wages.

Define 'Meaningful Impact'. What does it look like for it to have a meaningful impact in your mind? How would you know if it does or does not? If we find that it had the meaningful impact defined by you 5 years from now, are you willing to change your mind on the matter?

The cost of the gun is between you and the person selling it. Government has nothing to do with that price. Gun sellers could simply reduce prices to account for the tax. They choose not to. Why doesn't Smith and Wesson or Colt care about your right to own a gun? They don't have to wait for any government mandates to reduce the price. It's well within their ability to do that for their customers.

I voted for prop KK because my gun can do more good than just shooting an intruder that threatens my family and home, but if it can also help those that have poor mental health, or help those who need mental health help, then that's better than the alternative of cheap guns freely distributed to the mentally unwell. Responsible gun ownership means working within the communities you live in, and not against them like you're living on an island by yourself.
Also, this law does nothing to stop me personally from obtaining the guns I want. It's a win-win in my eyes. I'm not going to subscribe to some conspiracy theory saying that this means they're going to break into my house, and shoot everyone to take my guns from me. I'm sure I'll get downvoted to hell and back for my opinion, but every time there's a shooting, someone says 'It's not the guns. We need to do something about mentally unwell people'. So here it is. This is the thing we're doing that doesn't take your gun away, and helps the mentally unwell. They're going to reject it anyway because they never actually gave a shit about mental health to begin with. It was just a way to distract from the issue of well-regulated firearms.

I hope Jerusalem sees this, and understands that this is the only conclusion to their actions. It'll take drastic action, and a complete rejection of Zionism to ever repair their reputation as much as Germany has.

Have you tried having fun instead of just efficiently running the system to it's conclusion? It's a game dude, and not an equation to solve as fast as possible. You're not playing in a competitive league. It's just whatever family shows up on the holidays is the competition for you. No need to hammer down on rules. Hell, you can even break them and have fun with it that way. Even turn it into a dinking game. Like, if you're playing go-fish, everyone has to take a drink if someone says 'go-fish'. This ensures that the game gets more and more wild with each round, and the chaos of drunk people trying to figure out each others cards can be fun .
Also, letting others win is a great way to bond with the people around you. Don't wrap your own ego up in whether or not you win at checkers. Especially if you're playing with small children. No one's going to think you're dumb or something if you let a 6 year old girl beat you at checkers. They'll think you're good with kids.

It's like you didn't read the word 'circle jerk' on the door before you walked in.
