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.

He was an engineer?

Good god.

That's a pretty good one. I wish I could come up with stuff on the fly like that.

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.

 

It will still break them if you try it

 
 

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?

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!
