But you're operating from a state that, all people operate in good faith. These people will twist the narrative no matter what you do. They don't wait for you to validate them. They twist reality and logic and manipulate events. There is no reasoning with these types. If you sit back and do nothing, they'll twist that to their agenda just as much as if you do something. But sitting back guarantees a smooth path of no resistance, they get thier agenda easily. Resisting means they don't get there as easily. Nobody in history made changes by sitting back and sending love vibes, my friend, I truly wish that were the case. Women lost their lives, just for the right to vote. How many rights have been removed or are under threat right now? I mean absolutely no disrespect, and I can see your logic, I just feel like maybe you aren't personally familiar with these manipulative types. I get that you understand reactive abuse and you see they're trying to use that, but it really doesn't matter, they'll do the same thing anyway, so maybe the path is somewhere in the middle, not giving them a reason, but not sitting back quietly and there's no waiting for someone to oppose them, it's now, right now.

Omg, that's fucking hilarious!

Me.

Oooh, your void is a little etherial, too!

I read some article the other day, how they had noticed a heavy attempt, by Hollywood, to glamorise and humanise ultra rich, like Yellowstone. Is that so we just sit back and shut up and let the billionaires be. Fk that.

But it's included in a plex pass. I know a lot of people were saying, a while back, they were happy to purchase a lifetime pass, so as to support the software. I didn't actually realise you could share without the plex pass. I thought that was always a thing.

You're hyper critical of yourself, but not in any way noticing or assessing your partners behavior. Your partner is at very best a HUGE jerk,and ableist, and at worst, purposefully abusing you and utilizing your disability to gaslight. You just described emotional, psychological abuse and gaslighting, from your partner. No, you won't ever be able to repair this relationship, they will always make you feel like you aren't good enough, that's their aim, that's on purpose. If you do ever meet their (purposefully impossible) ridiculously unachievable expectations, the goal posts will move. Stress to this level will cause your adhd to become more enhanced, so even trying to not be adhd, isn't going to work in this, very damaging environment, you find yourself in. Please let this relationship end, and make plans to safely leave yourself. Don't let them know you're leaving. You need to leave.

I like your style.

Is that cheap, by current standards? I'm in Australia, and so is the commenter I asked, but where I am it's unheard of for burgers to be much below $20.

Damn. I'm starting to really feel how expensive my city is.

I am so curious what part of Oz you're in, because absolutely nowhere is anything near those prices, where I am, but I am in an expensive city.

Maybe they both exist and it's about focusing on the ones you do want to remember and you do out of sentimentality and love.

Holy cow, where do you live that Burgers are still $10 anywhere.

But Does he have FAS, though? This Pic!

It's her kink for that to happen to other women, it doesn't apply to her. They're all like that.

Who's paying them? Genuinely, who, in his grandiose delusions, wants his demise and is paying people to protest, just to lower his stock prices. Who does he actually think is "out to get him".

Maybe that's why these 1%ers wealth hoard so hard, maybe they genuinely think they ARE middle class.

One step further, even. Women take responsibility for their own emotions, and filling their own needs. So if they feel lonely, they create community, in friends. What I hear, when I hear "loneliness epidemic in men" is men expecting women to tend to or serve their emotions and they aren't capable of tending to their own emotions. Like a little baby, I don't know any woman who wants to be responsible for their partners emotions, AND their own. Because it's not like these men are going to be looking after the womens emotions, the same.

It's emotional immaturity. Borderline, sometimes actual emotional abuse. You are supposed to be responsible for filling your own needs, as an adult. I feel like men have just never stopped and noticed all that women do (or ended up being socialised or forced to do).

I just watched a tik tok that talked about women being called irrational for worrying if everything is together at the holidays, they do everything. Then if they're walking out the door and worrying if everyone has everything, the husband says "you worry too much, everything will be fine". Everything is fine, because she's planned and prepared for every contingency, and it's entirely overlooked, it's unseen, unacknowledged work.

And I can't help but see the link between what has been baseline accepted / perceived as what women "do" or "women's responsibilities" in relationships for men, predominantly all the house work, holiday planning, knowing stock levels and needs, kids / friends / family birthdays and needs, doctors appointments, clothing.... I can't understand how that became a basic expectation that one person in the partnership do all of that, and then, women are disengaging from relationships with men, and instead of looking at the environment they created for women, that they wanted to no longer be engaged in that, they doubled down and shouted about how it's a strangers (all women's?) job to fix their feelings, while they roll around wailing on the floor (I imagine).

Ultimately men have been conditioned to not appreciate or see what women do, and to feel like their "manliness" is tied to how much they subjugate another person. And ultimately both of those social dynamics serve capitalism and are predominantly strong in extreme evangelical religions. It makes the rich richer if men are emotionally immature and taught to oppress women. Then women provide free labour to capitalism, emotional support, children and home. If capitalism had to make space for or compensate the work women do, raising children, it would go broke, overnight. It's not that providing the next generation is a worthless task, it's that the division of wealth is being hoarded by a handful of people and they violently don't want to let go of that.

If someone gets Knickers in a knot, because they know one woman or one man who isn't like that, you missed my point and that doesn't detract from my point, I'm not saying if they all don't do this, it doesn't hold water, obviously lots are disengaging, currently. Some in a healthy way, some not. I just find all this stuff fascinating to talk about, and the fact it's hidden from you, you have to piece it together yourself. We're all being collectively manipulated, on a societal level to, essentially, funnel money to a handful of people. It blows my mind how deep it goes. This whole nuclear family, is relatively new. It's against our nature and our grain. And it's very much not working.
