And why in God's name would he be planning a trip with a woman he is just talking to without first discussing with her.
I would NEVER go on a surprise trip with someone I don't know. I value my safety too much.

Why do "some" religions have the right to dictate the decisions for every woman in this country?
I thought this country was founded in order to prevent theocracy.
@1walewrld
Let's put it this way...the friends who give advice generally are the types that want advice.
They aren't necessarily the best to vent to.
I think it comes down to choosing your audience.
Advice givers don't necessarily like being the person vented to.

They should also offer him a very large sum of money to continue using his likeness anywhere, since he is the one who built that franchise and carried it to success.
Jack Sparrow is the brand.
@AmberlynWhite
me as an adult when anyone does this - well, if it's not important enough for you to talk to me about, it must not be a very big deal then. It's a small thing - you can think over it quietly until you are ready to behave.
I'll save my cares for something else.
@ReadByTheSun
My 20s was several hundred hours of overtime on top of a full time job so I could go to concerts, festivals, pay rent, pay bills, pay debt, and take 1 really big trip.
I'm proud of myself for how hard I worked to make so many of my own dreams come true.

Then there are those who walk away from the people who cause emotional harm to them. Because the damage of the harm is greater than the strength of the relationship, and they don't see the relationship worth holding on to.

if he is willing to sign a prenup that ironclad, it shows he's not with her for the money.
My heart is melting for them over this. I'm overjoyed for them both.
@MelissaOng69420
It's an ellipses. It indicates a pause.
Since you can't indicate tone via text, it's nice to give indicators as to what you are thinking or feeling to add emotive voice to what is being said. Similar to elongation of the last letter or sllyable of a word, often to denote
@uajinn
it happens.
People have their own lives to live. I might not be part of that as much as I'd like to be.
I try not to take it personally though.
It doesn't make it hurt any less, but it does make the loss easier if I don't ruminate on it.
@itsnotjazminn
Depends. If a person has a pattern of treating you poorly and doesn't try to work things out when you are trying and that goes on for long enough...that's not going to change when they say they want to work things out as you are leaving/after you are gone.
Start over.
@1walewrld
If someone needs that type of support, they need to make sure the person they are going to is capable of giving it and they aren't asking for too much.
People posting about "MK Ultra" after a mass shooting are very likely Nazis.
....pass it on.
This is a full fledged Nazi propaganda push/psyop.
Don't buy into the bullshit.
@1walewrld
Problem solvers find solutions. That is how they find emotional safety for themselves in the world.
By demanding they just stop and listen, you are demanding they take the role of feeling helpless and powerless so that you can vent. It gets very stressful.
Just keep that in mind
@1walewrld
And it's not a matter of someone being selfish.
It's a matter of healthy boundaries around what that person can emotionally handle.
It is asking a lot of a person to overcome their natural inclination as to how to approach a problem. They talk through it.
@PaiixofthePack
@ItsEmilyKaty
And they say we are the ones without any empathy.
People really need to stop minimizing the struggles of others.
Getting an occasional headache is not the same as having near constant migraines due to sensory processing disorder. Migraines strong enough to knock you down.
@itsnotjazminn
Working things out means both people putting in the work when things are rough. Not one person ignoring everything until the other who is putting in the effort reaches their limit and leaves.
Don't try and work things out with someone who makes it clear they don't value you.
@imzarvinnn
If someone can't wait hours for a response, they are too immature to be in a relationship with me.
Checking in periodically through the day is great - but everyone has responsibilities. If there is a true emergency, that is one thing. But personal stuff doesn't get handled on

@badgyaI
UK ruling was gross. Way too pro-paparazzi.
There need to be stronger anti-paparazzi laws. Paparazzi is not the press. Nor is it free speech- especially when their is actual harm done to the lives/well being of subjects & their families.
@jameelajamil
@HenMazzig
Probably a starting point would be to create laws that indicate tbat paparazzi is not press (nothing they publish is every newsworthy) - so that their stalking is not "protected" by the 1st Amendment and can be treated as both civil and criminal offenses.
@zackfox
Brady could be caught in broad daylight pants down in a cheap hotel room with a minor and the NFL wouldn't sanction him.
It's infuriating. But he is the league's picture perfect white supremacy loving hometown hero white QB - and therefore can do no wrong.

@fwyanna
i just don't like unnecessary small talk most of the time. or to be in conversations i'm not in the mood to be having. unless there is a purpose to it or i'm having fun - i don't want to. i find most 'random' social interactions draining, tbh. gotta be in the mood.
@MichellCClark
also red flag:
people who call themselves your friends but expect you to initiate all conversations. if they aren't carrying half the weight and equally investing - disappear. maybe check up on them and wish them well, but disappear.

Survived an illness that should have killed me.
Lost everything I had & lost a year's worth of income+ lots of sunk costs
Betrayed bigly by former best friend.
Ended up in a shelter.

@sfchronicle
This is heartbreaking to read....but unsurprising.
I hope to see more people walk out od Renaissance Faires as well, as this type of behavior is just as prevalent in those spaces.
I used to love Faires until I realized they were anything but safe and inclusive.

if you are young - date for fun. date to learn how to love. date to learn how you need to be loved.
there is a lot you can learn about yourself and others from dating for reasons other than marriage.
Only date to marry when you are READY for marriage.

No.

Disney bought 20th Century Fox film rights. I kind of wonder if he can block them from putting any of those films up on Disney + and force them to sell the rights to make up for the lost income on the latest Pirates + damage to his reputation by dropping him.
Tell me you've never accomplished anything in life without saying it....
Bragging about lettering in high school as your peak achievement if you are older than 21 years old 😂😂😂😂
it's a pathetic as the 45 year old housewife who still wears her cheerleading uniform
If the 10th Amendment holds, any state law that beings punitive measures against women who travel out of the state for an abortion would be unconstitutional (commerce clause- that would be a state stepping in and regulating interstate business dealings. Medicine IS a business).
@AM_Davenport
This explains the overwhelming sense of pain, grief, anger and sadness that I felt when I visited as a teen. Such an ugly and terrible part of our history that we need to acknowledge and speak about.

That & some of the white assholes that live in small towns intentionally do not run their sanitation plants according to EPA standards and dump their run off into rivers & wells that flow onto reservations.
This is nothing short of attempted murder in my mind.
@imzarvinnn
They don't have to hear me.
The goal is not to fix.
The goal is to have things said in my own words to counter anything they say. Especially when it comes to the things they say I think, feel, and believe.
Basically to prove them liars if anything moves to court.
@travontheweb
@ljin18
there'd probably be an even larger gap between the haves and the have nots. more poverty, more war, more brutality.
i doubt it would lead to utopia or a better standard of living.
@ninagrewal97
I think there is some middle ground here.
Hurt feelings often arise in situations that are beyond uncomfortable. If I want to be friends with someone who does not want to be friends with me, my feelings get hurt. It is not their responsibility to fix them or even to apologize.

or she's a really polite person just giving him a chance to ramble and doesn't see anything there.
Doesn't mean he has an actual in or that she wants him.
Humoring someone who wants to ramble in a public space is not dtf
@Stopworkplacebu
Yes. And if you try to even bring up something calmly with them expect either passive aggressive behavior from them or an all out rage-fest where they start screaming at you how you are the problem.
Nothing ever gets fixed or addressed, because in their minds they don't do any

It disgusts me that the US Gov does virtually nothing to stop this, bring those responsible to justice, and ensure the reservations & all those on them have clean running water.
@Theholisticpsyc
Abandonment wounds are hard.
The fear comes to many as a fear that they will be abandoned by a loved one in a time of great need and forced to experience great hardship (emotional, physical, or otherwise) completely alone.
But once you do that for yourself, you stop seeking out
@LysandraAriella
There is a huge difference between knowing how to poke someone's buttons for fun (and knowing which buttons not to push, where the real lines are & avoiding those like the plague) and being all around awful to someone.
The first is flirty, fun, and feisty.
The second is dump ASAP

Actually, a lot of how a woman smells has to do with pheromones.
If she's not smelling good to you, it means she's not producing enough pheromones. She doesn't really want to be fucking you and isn't attracted to you. You're not masculine enough to do it for her.

Who thought it was a good idea to make this person a manager? If I worked in the company's risk mitigation or legal department, this person would be fired on the spot.
@imzarvinnn
work time. It waits until I have a break.
I expect a partner that has a similar level of maturity.
Same when I'm out with friends/family/at a social gathering. I'll check in when I can politely do so - but my focus will be where I'm at and unless it is an emergency, my partner
@KameronBennett
nah. but sometimes it teaches people consequences and to have accountability for their actions so they don't do the same thing to someone else in the future.
We all have people who serve as lessons in our lives, sometimes we also have to be the lesson.
@PoemHeaven
It never became a relationship. Looked like everything was there on the surface, but at the end of the day the other party was not interested despite what they said. After that I quietly let go realizing that there was no ROI in the investment of time & emotion I put in.
@billygerent
For all of those who say that it is okay to do this....do you agree that it is okay for a woman to forward any and all unsolicited dick pics they receive to the man's employer or dean of admissions - to "teach them a lesson"?
If not- why the double standard?
@Jana_OGrady
@hankgreen
Yes.
I will always make sure to accommodate my own needs before I start doing favors for anyone else.
That is my responsibility toward myself.
And yes, I understand people get upset when I choose to accommodate myself over doing a favor...and that's okay by me.
@Jmike_Rockaway
@IvyKungu
Doesn't seem like long enough that a surprise trip is a wise move.
I clarified. First trip with someone new should be jointly planned -especially if it's not an established relationship.
1 - it's respectful to the schedule/life the other person lives (time off/pet care)
2- safety

She also discredited other diagnoses without any reference to why.what assessments were given&what led her to her conclusions?
All of that is highly suspicious.
It's no different than a high school counselor "diagnosing" a student.
The lack of clinical methodology is unconvincing
@shree_1211
@_AuraAqua
It's a relationship. For a relationship both people involved have to make equal efforts for the relationship to survive. Saying anything else is absolutely toxic.
No one is so great or wonderful in a relationship that the only person who has to put effort in is the other person.

So she is trying to split the party while we are on the brink of a potentially very large military conflict?
Is she intentionally trying to put the country back into the hands of Trump?

She is selfish and vapid and anything but the type of leader our country needs.
@jimirosenk
Oh god. The child screaming broke my heart.
The fact that the Trump supporters were just sitting there as those people were sinking and that child screaming. How could they be so heartless.
That is...sadistic, cruel, and sick.
@LIVEpositivity
Disagree.
If they hit you, hit them back.
Do jot let someone walk all over you and treat you like a doormat.
If you continually turn the other cheek people will see that you allow yourself to be disrespected. Which will encourage more people to treat you in a similar way.

If you have multiple people leaving after half of a day, I almost guarantee you have a management problem that needs to be addressed. Someone on your staff (maybe even yourself) is costing you that money.

"Okay..." took the place of "okaaaay." Drawing out that syllable gives it a warmer tone/meaning.
I like to soften my tone when I'm not trying to be
@RobSchneider
This isn't about that at all and you know it.
This is about helping the people who did not have parents hand them everything on a gold platter (education, a down payment for their first home). This is about allowing those who have had to do everything for themselves a chance

Lol. In some travels recently i met a group of people who followed around Trump from rally to rally.
So if he had the same people showing up at all of his rallies, his following might not be as large as some were led to believe.

My relationship with myself is so much better because of it.
@crisistalker
At the same time - that is super sweet. It's obvious your calendar fills up. So if you know you have that space for someone and you are offering it to them, you really want to see them. You are prioritizing as best as you can given your career & everything it entails.
@a_h_reaume
This is so true for most office jobs that are not appointment based. As long as you are meeting deadlines, making it to necessary meetings, etc. It shouldn't be an issue. More office jobs should work to reduce unnecessary meetings to increase output & productivity.
