Oh I was just kidding because of how similar Nick is to Nicole, and evidently I don’t have to tell you about her haha

Hmmm…Nick…🤨

Arguably a win, depending on who you’re fucking and what you’re into

Unlike one of the main assumptions capitalism is built on – that people always act in their own best interest – people are extremely easy to manipulate. Basically, capitalism is broken (does not actually work on the assumptions it is said to be built on) and there is financial incentive to keep it that way and exploit it. This is what happens when profit is king.

In short: late stage capitalism is what’s happening.

I don’t know if they’re the best example considering their elections are almost definitely being manipulated like a lot of the world’s superpowers

Yeah I guess that would work! Do you know of any countries that currently use that system?

I agree! What voting system doesn’t make gerrymandering possible?

Not just require his removal, but do to him what was done to mussolini

CGP grey has some great videos on gerrymandering, and according to him there are 3 options to combat gerrymandering:

1. Politically independent commission of appointed experts or judges to draw the boundaries (not ideal)
2. Mathematically: shortest split-line method of drawing boundaries (can occasionally skew results, probability based)
3. Intentional gerrymandering (benevolent) to try to make the representation as proportional as possible (odd)

I’m sure there are other options but to me the best is probably #2 paired with a single-transferable vote.

Shout out to Turbohaüs in Montreal

Very nostalgic and some of them are, earnestly, very good!!

https://www.creepypasta.com/

It has all the old really popular ones from the mid-naughts!

I do solitaire, cryprograms, crossword and mahjong, and sometimes I’ll read creepypastas from the archive like I used to do in highschool

Other than that if I know I’ll have to wait somewhere and occupy myself I bring a book with me.

To what end, though? What purpose will it serve if you haven’t told him that following those girls is unacceptable to you?

And before somebody tells me it’s always unacceptable, that’s not true. In my relationship, both of us watch porn, and that’s what we consider these Instagram models because they’re often selling their only fans. My husband and I have an agreement that I don’t care what porn he watches, he doesn’t care what porn I watch, we are allowed to pay some only fans subscriptions (not an unreasonable amount, and support small businesses, yo!) Hes just not allowed to converse and develop a relationship with them, and same goes for me. We are very open about it.

What im saying here to you, OP, is that if a behaviour like this bothers you, you need to tell him so he knows rather than just waiting for him to fuck up. Do not operate under the assumption he knows because you may have different upbringings and what may seem obvious to you may not be so obvious to him. Give him the opportunity to be trustworthy in the way you need.

You don’t get to 10 years by playing games like this. You get there by both wanting to put in the work, because relationships are work and communication, and most of this is within the first few years.

Additionally, never be afraid of a relationship ending. There is no such thing as “the one”, there will always be someone that ticks your boxes, so to speak.

Yesss!! I’ve been with the same man for 10 years and we’ve had so many clumsy discussions when working through feelings, but that’s just how communication goes sometimes.

If you’re not bringing up your feelings because you’re afraid it will end the relationship, that’s silly. If that ends the relationship, the relationship would have always ended.

This is why community is such an act of protest against fascism. Government won’t let you buy what you need? Oh, well we have a community with gardeners, farmers, bakers, etc.

Community, y’all, thats how we survive. We survive and we fight together.

I think they mean learning about history slaps. History is both interesting and extremely important even when it’s depressing.

Encouraging learning about history is something we should continue to do, even if it means using collloquialisms.

Getting it sugared is slightly less painful!

Alternatively, as a weird kid that grew up to be an autustic adult, he could --through this weird behaviour – potentially find other kids of his ilk (hell, it only takes one close friend) and they can blunder through together.

Shout out to my best friend of 20-some years, with whom I once dressed up as a Monty python and the holy grail character and skipped around the park carrying coconuts and shouting weird things about shrubberies.

Not if you dry them!
