But the orange clown has set them way too high; the rates he’s imposed are just as likely to cause way fewer imports, and therefore not nearly as much gov revenue as he thinks

Nah, keep the machine at full speed, but definitely slowly feed them into it.

Well, shit. I’m was looking forward to playing this one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As a father of two daughters, it fucks with me hardcore knowing that the majority of women will experience some form of sexual assault in their lives.

When I learned just how frequently sexual harassment and assault happens, it was an eye opening, and heart breaking, revelation.

Oof. This comment his hard, but you’re right!

Damnit 😝

If the picture a source of negative emotions? Maybe. Or is it a source of comfort? Only you can determine if seeing his picture frequently is helping or hindering you.

That’s…dumb.

It really is

Propaganda is one hell of a drug, ain’t it?

Ummm…what?

So, are you saying that they voted to confirm her out of…spite? And you are presenting that as an argument on their defense???

Are you…an idiot?

My wife

Yup. Worse, his actions and his words expose the fact that he is consumed with hatred, for everyone and everything, including himself. But, as an added bonus in his piggy little eyes, he equates carrying my misery with profit for himself.

Nobody in Washington deserves to be defended, not do any of them deserve our respect.

None of them are on our side anyway.

It’s right. But I’m proud of you!

Oh for fuck sake, every place that has gone to a four day work week has seen an_increase_ in productivity.

As always, it’s about inflicting misery on others

Oof.

Well, at the least, he may still be coming to terms with how he feels about your transition. But, when I was twenty years younger, I was more self centered than I realized at the time. Society crams this idea down guys’ throats that it’s the only way to be a “man”.

Sometimes relationships don’t work out. We never want to see it, and unfortunately we often go into denial and insist on trying to force something after the “spark” has faded.

First, take a bit of time to self reflect; how do you really feel about all these things? About the relationship? It’ll take courage and emotional fortitude. And I’m not saying you need to give up! Just, take the time to be honest with yourself first, otherwise you can’t be honest with someone else.

Best of luck, and wish for you the courage and strength to find the right path!

Hmmm. Yeah, I’d recommend looking for ways to discuss the issue; be direct and blunt as you can, without malice though.

Also, try not to say “you made me feel”; frame it instead as “I find myself feeling this” type language.

And, incidentally, was never granted authority for this kinda crap. But the legislature has been neutralized, at least in terms of who’s in charge.

Well, yes. It’s a power game, believe it or not. Somewhat similar thing happened to me some years back with one of my “bros”. In my case, I realized I was always the one to reach out to him; there were a lot of other red flags that showed me our friendship was not as solid as I thought, so eventually I forced myself to not be the one to contact him. It took three months for him to text me. I knew then the friendship had died. 😔
