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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

If anyone wants to understand the pain of fissile uranium production, play factorio. Gives you a little tiny fraction of what it’s like to produce enough fuel for a powerplant. You need a lot more for a bomb.

So how do I get an Idea to the Helldivers devs? They did the grenade pistol, what about an derringer with an AC-8 round. Better ve wearing explosive res armor

So, maybe this is hindsight, but why were battery inspections and storage in the same location? If the batteries failed inspection (which I’m guessing the exploding ones would have, or at least do now) they should be kept separately from known good batteries right?

No, it gives your children the ability to increase cholesterol levels without poor diet

I love garlic, but it is a painful stressful experience for me if I each too much. Garlic bread is 100% effective at getting me to eat too much garlic.

I regret nothing. Garlic bread and it’s holy cleansing fire will be consumed.

Wait wait wait wait.

How did you end up getting tear gassed in the military? How did you end up getting tased in the military? Why? Who would think that was useful or necessary?

:(

The amount of jobs I’ve gotten through LinkedIn: 0.

The number of people I have found from highschool/college/random person on the street who I can’t find in Facebook: waaaaaay too many. If it didn’t tell you who was looking for you, linkedin would be far creepier of a stalking tool. I mean, shit I’ve found people I’ve only seen a picture of. Now I know where they work, where they used to work, and went to school. By extension I now also know where they likely used to live and at least the general area that they live now (provided they don’t work remote that is).

The more I think about LinkedIn, the more I want to remove my profile.

“The data is not affected.” You know, that’s an interesting thing to point out. The attackers clearly want to restrict access to information, possibly specific information, possibly information in general.

However, whoever is in charge of this DDoS is clearly fulfilling a directive of “prevent access to it.” And they clearly don’t realize that a DDoS is temporary. Do they have a plan for when it’s back up? They can’t just DDoS forever, unless they plan on DDoSing the entire internet. And I don’t see them having the resources literally the rest of the world has.
