Minimum sentencing.

Is that where we are now? We are so beat down that we are asking for permission to be happy about something?

Congrats and good journey!

Shuddap you fundark.

Rather go down swinging than get disappeared to Venezuela.

It sounds like you’re trying very hard and she’s not meeting you halfway. You can try to educate her more on the condition if she’s willing but doesn’t sound great. My partner does a lot to actively learn about my condition and adapt to it. And I do the same for her conditions.

I’m so done with them. Primary all of them.

Eh you’re right, they would monetize the shit out of it and make it pay to win like everything else.

I wonder if there is a fragment of a good idea in there. Maybe a dating app that like queues up men and doesn’t let the next one out of the queue until the active person gets matched to someone.

Though that sounds pretty slow and not enough dopamine in using the app to keep people on it.

Maybe not a single man, but some small amount so it is known that you can’t just screen for the 1% of dream guys. Like if you only get 5 swipes, maybe you won’t be as ready to dismiss everyone immediately.

Whatever, I’m sure there are teams of psychologists working for all those companies that have all this crap dialed in for max profit and engagement.

I like this idea, might give it a shot!

Compartmentalization is an important skill. Apparently Einstein was a terrible husband. One can be smart in an area and stupid in many other areas, for life is a complex amalgam of microscopic acts in a macroscopic universe.

That’s just self sabotage talking. Knowing about a problem is step one and it’s what gets you in the door.

Just because you know you’ve got a broken pipe doesn’t mean you don’t need a plumber, just because you know your car is broken doesn’t mean you don’t need a mechanic, etc. There’s nothing wrong with someone helping you being a job. That doesn’t mean they won’t do that job.

The main point of therapy is to get you to look at your circumstances in different ways and provide you with coping skills you may not necessarily have developed. You may even be unaware of whatever current maladaptive coping mechanisms you’ve built up over years of just trying to survive. This is where outside professional perspective comes in handy.

However! That’s not to say therapy is a bulletproof process or that all therapists are good or that every therapist is a good fit for every person. I would liken it to finding your preferred barber or massage therapist or something. Sometimes you just got to try options till something works.

Well now we’re disappearing people to Venezuela. I don’t think we have any moral high ground anymore. Or perhaps ever.

I imagine things move slowly on global scales. Next quarter will probably be really bad.

I mean this simply gets into the ethics of manipulation. Ultimately, it comes down to choosing happiness.

To be more realistic, the entire post needs to be written in the subject line of an email. Man I’ve seen some bad bad communication.

Lol, the copyright protection preventing it is cherry on top.

And surely you’re aware of the “No true Scottsman” logical fallacy?

You. You call your own allies intellectual cowards. You’re part of the reason the left drives it’s own support away.
