What I mean is that I believe he committed suicide if you believe that I want to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge.

Democratic Party politicians and caving on things: name a more iconic duo

And nothing of value was lost

I mean. I carry my passport card (distinct from my actual passport, but it lets you go to Mexico and Canada and a couple other places without an actual passport) in my wallet as a secondary ID, but that’s also not a typical thing to do for most people. So technically that would probably satisfy the ICEatzgruppen. But at the same time they’d probably shoot me in the face for jollies if I was at a protest and they felt like it. So I also have a riot helmet with a face shield, and a full-face “work mask” with high grade filters.

Jeff Amazon? Questionable motives? Nooooooo it couldn’t be!

Also, look at how much it apparently tried to adjust the flag for perspective, despite the fact that thats not a thing in this context. The stripe divisions hit his scrubs at different points than in the original.

“Suicided” 😉

Snake oil salesman says snake oil market is stronger than it’s ever been

You only need a second or two of warning to disable the biometrics - it’s not as good as BFU state, but it’s better than nothing for sure.

Side note, in case you missed it: CNN was somewhat recently fully co-opted by the far right. It wasn’t great before, but it’s far worse now.

That’s a fantastic little protest chant, if you’re in the UK. The fact that that fucker got off scott-free is absolutely unconscionable.

ICEatzgruppen:

lol no fuck you

HSI is very much a part of the problem here.

I admit I worded my comment vaguely because I was rather tired and wasn’t sure how I should express the nuance I feel around that. But to fix that:

In my experience, going from a reasonable, mutually healthy level of intimacy to one party just completely lacking interest is essentially never the core issue in play, but it is an exacerbating issue. For instance, with my ex, who I was with for five years: for the first couple years, things were pretty great. Then she ended up slipping into perhaps the worst long-term episode of severe depression and video game addiction I have ever seen in my life. I’m talking 12-14h at least a day in a KRPG, completely withdrawing from IRL social interaction (including with me, for the most part) and supplanting it with constantly being on voice chat with the various clans she was a part of over time in the game. Mind you, I enjoy gaming myself, and have struggled with overdoing in the past as well, but never to this extent in terms of length and severity. And despite trying to find numerous ways to help/support her, encouraging her to find different and better therapists and psychiatrists, and figuring out how to rebalance her meds - including offering to just be on the phone with me for 30 seconds at the beginning of the call and just saying “I give permission for my partner to discuss this stuff with you and try to find a better solution because my mental state prohibits me from doing that right now”, being effectively unable to make any motion in a positive mental health direction. To the point that it got so bad that I became severely depressed and began aggressively self medicating, eventually to the point that I realized staying in the dynamic would probably kill me, in a very literal sense. She would barely come out of her room for dinner towards the end, and I was absolutely not about to get her to just let me “use” her for intimate gratification when the chemistry was completely gone and she was gonna just lie there like a fish - I’d have felt like I was assaulting her, and I refuse to do that.

So: no, it shouldn’t be the grounds for a divorce (or partner separation, I happen to not give a shit about marriage outside of the context of tax benefits, but I take a committed partnership very seriously), but it can and should be considered an exacerbating circumstance in a relationship that has extremely serious, long-lasting problems that essentially put everything into a death spiral.

Also: I’m sharing this for context and nuance as an explanation of my opinion. I’m not asking for or desiring feedback or constructive (or otherwise) criticism or judgement. Me explaining this is an infinitesimal fraction of the lived experience of it, like you saying your partner is “pretty cool”, when there are myriad shades of nuance to a partnership. It is a closed chapter of my life, and I am better for it.

Overall, I think this is a good idea.

My thoughts on the part about removing refusal of intimacy as justification of divorce are more nuanced, however - and partially informed from anecdotal experience.

Because first, they tried nothing, and then they were all out of ideas

And if it’s a rental, assume it’s fraudulent or stolen until the rental company can get back to them within 5-7 business days

That would damage their ability to inside trade, so they’re gonna negotiate with terrorists

It’s pretty clear that ICEatzgruppen is far more of a clear and present danger to normal people living in the states than terrorists are

…what…?
