Not just suicide at this point. We're looking at massacres. If Trump takes power by any means, political prisoners are guaranteed. It's the only way they stay powerful. And political prisoners have a very short lifespan.
Once political prisoners are taken, it's all downhill from there.
If we can teraform Venus we can teraform the galaxy. The planet is inhospitable in every single way. We can't even land spacecraft that last very long. If materials don't melt from the heat and disintegrate from the atmosphere, then the volcanos ought to do the trick.
It's also harder to get to Venus than it is Mars.
I mean he does now have the powers of an absolute monarch.
As far as I know Saudi Arabia is the only other country with an absolute monarch, so it makes some sense we are allies now.
Ok, let's point out how poorly timed this meme is.
The election isn't until November. It's July.
We did vote, and we can't vote for any state or district that we are not in. Democrats won 2020, and avoided total disaster in 2022.
Americans cannot and never have had the ability to vote in SCOTUS.
The last chance the Democrats had at preventing this shit show was under Obamas first term when he could have briefly stacked the courts.
That's
Not the weirdest thing I've heard. Fuck this timeline
It absolutely does not. I'm not sure what you guys aren't reading here, but the very first paragraph is about her wanting HIM to greet her when she arrived home in the Uber.
Being scared of being kidnapped is not fear of abandonment.
Y'all aren't helping him if you're telling him the wrong reasons to do the right thing. That ends up hurting both.
No, SHE wanted him to meet HER at the Uber when SHE got home.
Today, before taking an Uber home, she sent me a text wanting me to be downstairs on the street to greet her as the Uber arrives. I read it and told her that yes, I’ll be there. I didn’t notice any further text because I was in the middle of something.
No, it doesn't. Nothing here screams fear of abandonment. It screams insecurity, it screams anxiety, it screams mentally unhealthy, but this doesn't say anything that could highlight BPD, or any other disorder.
Really? No.
Borderline personality disorder is a special kind of crazy, yes, but it's severe abandonment anxiety at it's core. I hate how much BPD gets thrown around, because it's quite a bit more benign than people understand.
This situation doesn't tell us ANYTHING about any mental disorder she may or may not have.
IT DOES tell us that she is not a healthy individual and he needs to fucking run because we don't want to find out what really is wrong with her.
What doesn't make sense is that unless you've tried to change it from the outside, and your taking real risks on the inside, you can't make changes and stay "inside".
Voting against the Facist? Outside. Protesting? Outside. Advocating for legislation to protect the outside groups? Outside.
Reallocating funds from inside groups to outside groups? Changing from the inside. Disobeying direct orders, or purposefully making decisions that weaken the group? Changing from the inside. Sabatoging ammunition manufacturer? Changing from the inside.
You can either be on the outside to make change or risk your life on the inside. Otherwise, you support them. Unlike many things, it is a black and white thing.
Yep. As much as I know, those of us with the know how aren't actually doing these shitty things, it's always someone else who takes a sledgehammer to a screw.
Blacked out. That's dissociation. It wasn't consensual. her mind protected her the only way it knew how, likely from previous sexual assaults or other abuse.
This is terrible.
Dang yo, that's exactly the number I was looking for. Thank you!
The truth is the winners have already won, and no one else ever will. They do not intend to make the American Dream obtainable for anyone but Those Approved.
It's a big club. You aren't in it. I'm not in it. everyone you or I know isn't in it. You know when your in it, because you benefit from this. If you will likely lose benefits, like all of us will, you aren't in the club.
How do you fight those in power uninterested in giving up that power?
You take it from them.
Now that is a better statistic. However, I would want to go one step further - every 100,000 vehicle miles.
And then there's me. Who has been with one woman, who was actually appalled by the whole attachment thing, but controlled so much of my life that I became permanently awkward, uncomfortable AND stuck with super low self esteem.
I don't know if I suck at sex, or just suck in general. If I survive this divorce I'll take that win right now.
Or maybe we shouldn't have anyone debating a Facist anti-intellectual. Because you can't.
It's like arguing with a toddler. You can't, because even when you are right you are wrong
Jeez. It's sort of the worst kind of dystopic future there is.
Concrete walls, iron bars, hard labor, and an ever increasing debt.
Maybe I'm dumb, but how hard would it be to just not agree to work? They gonna beat you to death? Sounds better than being a slave
Sounds like this will inevitably happen anyway. It's not like they are bussing homeless people to Colorado are they?
No actually, I am asking are they doing that, because I can see them doing that.
Hahahahahahaha
What oligarchy? What fascism? No see only the winners win because they already won, you all lost that's fair and square.
How do long time married couples with a single income split finances (not seeking legal advice, literally the how)
I'm talking like one person brought in all the money for a decade, then a divorce happens. Some of it makes sense - a house with mortgage, one spouse buys the other out of the house. Which is great, but if one spouse doesn't have the income to take a loan out to buy the other, does that mean that the spouse who does have the income has the choice to buy out or sell?
Similarly, things like 401ks and pensions I imagine you can't just take out half the cash in them and give that to their spouse. Or does that have to be a loan for the amounts in those plans?
Is it debt all the way down for both?
In Today's Cliche Post: How the fuck do I meet new people locally?
Let me set the stage: Newly single dad of a young kid. After COVID-19 I haven't done much outside of my home and taking care of my kid. I work full time-remote, and between the kiddo and leaving room for a hobby or taking care of the house, it seems like the only other thing I have time for is sleep.
The thing I know is that this is likely an issue with my anxiety and anxious attachment. The conclusion we've arrived at in therapy is that I gotta meet people. I apparently forgot, or don't know how to do that. Where to meet people. It's not a big city, but 200k-300k people in the county.
Maybe I'm looking for something of a strategy more than anything.
edit: thank you guys, I really appreciate it!
