Never in your life? I always assumed asexual meant very rarely horny, not literally never. Is that common?

I agree, Brian Thompson should never have been allowed to murder so many people with his psychopathic level of greed.

I’m not sure what conversation you think is happening but it has been my experience that everyone is talking about the thing you’re saying no one is talking about.

Careful, you’re very close to acknowledging that men have problems of their own and we don’t do that. That’s the patriarchy talking.

Not for long. Capitalists about to do more stripping in that caldera than your mom does on Tuesday nights down at the Beaver Barn.

I really like that the link at the bottom of the page says “check out more stuff you should be using” but that URL takes you to a page where the curl article is the only link.

“more coming soon. Or not. I don’t owe you shit”

A majestic site indeed. Bravo sir.

The people you’re talking about in this post are all different people with different points of view. You’re the only one combining them into a single nebulous idea of a person.

Did you miss the whole debacle of “we’ll never cave without ACA subsidies being extended” immediately preceding caving without extended ACA subsidies? That’s far from the only example of such behavior. In fact, I’d say the only anamoly in that situation was the strong stance Dems took before reverting to their usual cowardly selves.

Good luck with that

People don’t click on articles with headlines like “Idiotic People Still Doing Nonsensical Things”

That makes sense. I can see why that could be frustrating for her but it still seems like a workable problem if you are both interested in doing so. Her choosing to frame it like an unfair circumstance you’re forcing her into instead of a way for her to care for you or even as an area to improve on together is a big part of the issue though. You’ll never be happy in a relationship if you can’t love people in spite of their flaws. Fairness is a pleasant ideal but it only works in theory.

What are you referring to when you say she takes care of everything? Are you unable to hold down a job, do you participate in household chores, do you engage with her and your friends, etc. Things like finding an apartment and arranging date nights are either one time tasks or not terribly consequential. I’m not saying there’s nothing for you to work on here but the things I’ve specifically seen you describe don’t sound like huge deals unless someone is looking to make them one.

As an example, my wife is usually pretty indecisive when it comes to planning unimportant things like date nights so I generally pick where we go and what we do. I could choose to interpret that as her forcing me to “take care of everything” but why would I choose to frame things in such a way that they make her seem useless? I noticed that she does not enjoy, or for whatever reason is not good at, planning those kinds of things so I step up and handle them for both of us. I view it as an act of service for someone that I love, not as an obstacle to my own happiness. As long as both people are looking to help in their own way then all that’s needed to maintain the system is a generous interpretation of your partners actions. I would hope that attitude would be even more prevalent in our relationship if she had a medical condition that prevented her from doing some of those things, rather than just a personal preference. That’s how relationships are supposed to work imo.

So much of relationships comes down to how we’ve conditioned ourselves to think about them. I get the impression that both of you are stuck in the idea that everything is your fault and my experience says that things are never that simple when both partners are decent people, which it sounds like is the case for you. It’s theoretically possible but incredibly unlikely. Again, that doesn’t mean that there’s no work for you to do to improve things. All I’m saying is that from the limited information I have about the situation it seems to me that her tendency to blame all of your relationship problems on you is just as much a factor in your perceived struggles as your ADHD. Maybe I’m way off base here but it’s something to consider at least.

We are anarchists with Leninist tendencies, not Marxists, you imperial dog.

Is joke, I barely know any of these words.

Same. I haven’t seen what I would call a new feature (or at least one worth a shit) in a decade. What the hell do I need 5 cameras for? Plus, the obsession with making devices thinner is so annoying. I’m still mad they took away my headphone jack.

It’s surprisingly difficult to find soup that isn’t chock full of nasty stuff. I just want some veggies and maybe a bit of meat in broth or some kind of chili. Why is that so difficult for companies to make?

I spent a couple of hours reading these through jmail the other day. Some of the conversations were pretty interesting. The best that I found outside of the ones widely reported on were:

1. A thread in which Michael Wolfe (sp?) and Epstein are discussing Epstein’s legal troubles and Trump’s involvement in it. Wolfe refers to Trump as “the real villain” in all of it.

2. Epstein is talking to a woman with a redacted name trying to set up a meeting. He invites the woman to wait for him in his home and she replies something to the effect of, “I would but I don’t want to show up and find Trump in your house again”.

3. Epstein is speaking with (I believe) a reporter for the NYT. Thomas Landon or something like that. They discuss Trump’s involvement with Epstein in broad terms and then the reporter asks Epstein, “why don’t you do the country a favor and release what you have on Trump” so that he presumably goes to prison.

Yeah it makes sense it’s just funny looking. Like the devs skinned each character and made a pelt rug out of them.

The fact that texture files of characters are flattened out never fails to get a laugh out of me. I get the function of it but they look so ridiculous it’s hard not to giggle when you see it

Cool, so all we need to do is keep lead exposure to a minimum and in a generation fascism won’t exist, right? If you’re agreeing with the statement “lead exposure explains Boomer and Gen X MAGA conservatives” then something along those lines must be what you’re trying to say.

And you said I’m oversimplifying things, sheesh.
