  • I’m not going to tell you what to do. I am going to point out the red flags you cited and ask what you would say to a friend who was considering dating someone who behaves like this.

    he kept talking about… that i should’ve ditched my bf for him

    In other words, he did not respect your relationship when you were in one.

    badmouthed not only his gf of a few years

    He handles struggles in a relationship by badmouthing his partner to others,

    he left her bc she showed signs of schizophrenia

    and uses an armchair diagnosis as an excuse to get out of a relationship instead of just saying it’s not working for him anymore like an adult.

    he kept guilttripping me when i said i didn’t want to be his gf

    He doesn’t care about your preferences, and tries to manipulate you when they don’t match his.









  • 10%.

    • Chance he runs for vice president and wins, with the presidential candidate resigning promptly: 5%
    • Chance he cancels or significantly delays election: 3%
    • Chance he successfully refuses to leave office after election using force: 2%

    Here are all the ways that doesn’t happen:

    • Chance he dies of natural causes: 70% - it’s about one in three per year for a man in his early 80s, which would give us 1-0.66^4 = 81% for four years, but he has access to the best possible medical care
    • Chance he runs for vice president and wins, with the presidential candidate promising to resign promptly, and is betrayed: 10%
    • Chance he attempts to cancel or delay the election and fails: 10%
    • Chance he refuses to leave office after election and is removed: 10%

    These things have a less than 1% chance:

    • Constitutional amendment
    • Supreme court allows him to run for a third term in violation of the unambiguous text of the constitution




  • Yes. I’d rather not be, but most people I know in person use it, and do not regularly view or share content using anything else in a one-to-many format.

    What I won’t do is install any of their mobile apps or regularly use their chat. When people try that, I reply hours later using something else.
