For sure, you don't really get to see the system say "technically we don't owe you anything by design, we are an instrument of force that has no inherent connection to your safety or wellbeing" out loud very often. You know they're not on good footing when they have to resort to that.

"Look mistakes were made, it's just that technically they didn't violate official policy letting a madman gun down your children while they cowered in the hallway."

Yeah I won't dogpile here but when you commit to monogamy with someone you are agreeing to suppressing certain desires you might have down the line. That certainly appears to be how she understood your commitment to her. Even with my spouse there are things I do not ask for or expect because I know they do not like those things.

I sympathize with feeling like you didn't get to explore your sexuality, I was raised by fundamentalists, there are things I will not get to know about my sexuality most likely. But my life is so enriched by my marriage I cannot imagine exchanging it for the chance to explore myself further. I suspect, since you voluntarily started the process of making a family with your wife, that you get a lot of joy out of your relationship as well. Sometimes relationships require that we accept some limits on what we do.

Or maybe I have a quaint view of these things because of my upbringing, but that's my thought for what it's worth.

Wishing you best of luck with a tough time comrade.

Imagine being a normal person, sitting and writing this drivel uncritically, seeing what you have made and not minecrafting yourself immediately.

I've made it to section 9, does that feel like about where people are gonna go this week? It looks like adding it to the pile would put us over 70 pages as opposed to just about 50, and I didn't see normal subheadings in it.

I love excluding zooted retirees from the hippie generation from the testing. Can't be offending the elderly now can we.

yea Watching the fireworks on reddit any time someone explained that they were voting uncommitted in the Michigan primary, people immediately pivoting from "don't you understand how important this election is?" to "fuck all Arabs I hope you get put in camps by the Republicans for your treachery, your loyalties clearly lie elsewhere" was genuinely frightening.

Well how about this tankies:

Putin can have a peace deal when his army packs up and returns to ruZZia and lets the adults in Switzerland decide what peace is gonna be without including one of the belligerents in the conflict they're resolving.

Yeah whenever I hear about some awful business practice I just accept that it's inevitable these days.

True enough, I'm certainly not saying their complacency will pay off, but they haven't actually felt any consequences yet. They prefer to eat shit before thinking about how they could better handle their situation.

I mean to be fair to them it worked out last time. They have no real reason to think people won't fall in line now, certainly not enough to justify changing their evil policies over it.
