Hate-fucking is a real thing.

Girl in highschool broke my heart in ways that crippled me emotionally for 8 years.

Met back up randomly (I was happy being a stoner frying wings) when she was married and dude was beating her. Finger-shaped bruises on her neck and all.

Upturned my whole life to pay for her a way out. Got sober, left my job for a real one, had her take my place at the job I was leaving so she'd have her own income.

It wasn't a thing for me, it was a plan to get her out and in her own place that I'd supplement.

After all that, she said she was leaving the state instead of the plan we agreed to. I kissed her and we had angry relations.

It didn't change her mind, but she did say many things that fixed my mental hangup. So much so when she called me from jail I declined the call.

    Even without JavaScript, back in my day doing some basic CSS stuff could effectively* do this too.

    *Background showed if image doesn't. Not hard to work around but did something if ad didn't load.

    There was better technique using CSS but I ran small band websites for basically free tickets so I wasn't chasing riches. Just hosting cost. Single small ad was enough.
