This was a fun book. Solid narrator on the audiobook. (Ray Porter)

Let’s be real. Roe would not have fallen without Trump. And the erosion of the 3 branch system would not have gotten this far. With DEMs.

But that’s what they do. While eroding the working class through continued subsidies to the rich. It’s why the middle class is dead. Yea, Reagan started that death but the Dems just took their payments and quietly kept things moving, between every Repub term, bringing us to the present state of the billionaire class, lack of middle class, and a country where 60% of the population lives paycheck to paycheck.

Brings that whole Clint Eastwood “Get off my lawn” vibe to another level.

I’m not going to tell you what to do. I will point out that a partnership is just that, partnering on each aspect of the intersection of your lives. It means each partner contributes their share to the domestic responsibilities. When that mutual contribution ceases, the relationship ceases to be a partnership.

As always, protect your financials. Maintain your own bank account and avoid free loaders on loan/credit paperwork. Maintain your own passwords.

If someone wants to throw their personality at social media and see if it produces incomes, sure, why not? So long as they remain functional adults and don’t quit their day jobs until after success is proven. I think hobby sharing is where this will be the most practical. Slap a camera on your head as you do what you already do, like drawing.

Asmon is an odd one. JP reels them in by mixing some sensical advice in with his derangement. But what the entire manosphere does is beat at men’s psyche constantly telling them to “be a man” by working only for themselves.

It’s the most cognizant thing I think I’ve heard him say. The “fuck” pulls it together and makes him sound almost normal.

Almost.

It’s like that person who does a pitbull rescue. Then acts surprised as it tears apart the neighbor’s chihuahua.

I’m not a witch, I'm your wife!

I have the kitchen aid given to my parents as a wedding gift in the 70s. Harvest Gold, but I don’t care that it doesn’t match anything.

Works great. There’s a later bowl accessory to prevent things from dancing out of the bowl while being mixed but the rest is original.

Meme for people who do not cook. That bread hook is amazing.

Injection, but not vaccine.

Risk 2210. There’s 5 turns. It takes 3-ish hours.

Measles is an interesting dive. It can have a re-write effect on the immune system such that other established immunities get wiped after a measles infection.

As such, it’s best to avoid.

After that first attack by Israel, my thought was the act was a “trade” with the US.

We’ll be entirely hands off re Gaza & keep funding you, but you need to deal with some things in Iran for us.

This fits that theory.

I don’t like him, but enlistment rates are up. Granted it happened during Biden’s term too.

Usually enlistment is driven by poverty. Food. Housing. Self defense training. Trade skill training when you’d otherwise be stuck at McDonald’s or Walmart. Vs homelessness or living in a trailer with 3 generations of your family and your crackhead uncle living in his trailer parked on the same property.

It is why, in part, there’s little government pushback on poverty. Military recruitment goes up.

There was also a surge after trump won. You can imagine who those people were.

Why the 180? Spite for Putin?

I came here to say Dungeons & Dragons. People of all ages and walks of life play.

I feel like there’s a lost episode of Fringe in here somewhere.

This is how you know your relative has drunk the koolaid. They sound like this, a parrot, repeating what someone else told them to say.

I think the better statement would be both are emotional, which is simply part of being human.

The difference is women are taught very early to regulate and cope.

Ofc none of this is 100%, nothing involving people is 100%, but emotional regulation, coping, and patience within your emotions is something women have more practice with.

I’m not saying no woman ever has bankrupted the family savings to buy a positive emotion inciting vehicle, but the numbers there would be…less.

Practice matters.

Why is everyone so hands off and permissive with Israel? Like they can do nothing wrong when they go out of their way to do wrong things?
