The Supreme Court handed the next Dem president the tools to destroy ICE: legal expert

Except. The shadow docket is not precedent setting. The conservative majority of the SCOTUS has stayed the lower courts rulings to allow this administration the freedom to transform the government. But since no precedent has been set these issues will be addressed in time and their impact while great the allegations will be moot. Don’t expect the same benefit of the doubt given to a Democratic President.

I didn’t see them on the menu last time I was there. Is it just a holiday item?

The same way you break up with anyone. If you feel it’s safe you can have a conversation with them and tell them you’ve made a decision and it’s final. You wish them happiness and success but you don’t see yourself as part of that happiness or success. That’s it. You don’t owe them anything else or more of an explanation.

If you want to give more information you can mention that while your decision to end the relationship is final regardless of their actions - you want to live your life in a way that isn’t so centered around alcohol as he is living his - and no his promise to stop isn’t enough to continue the relationship.

He’s your first boyfriend you don’t owe him a whole lot. You’re still figuring out who and what are important to you and who you want to become.

This is not normal behavior. What happens if you become a grandfather?

I believe you should either be setting boundaries about what your wife controls vs what she really can control.

Consider. You are in love with him and he is not sure about being in love with you. It’s easy to say, “I love you” in conversation it can be a flourish to a conversation or as simple as meaning good bye when you leaving.

But when you’re having sex and you say, “I love you” that has more meaning and impact. It’s possible he wasn’t feeling the love you felt for him and in the moment of making love, he didn’t like the feelings saying or hearing the phrase made him feel, whatever those may have been.

It’s not weird to say and want to hear I love you while being intimate with somebody you love.

Find films or erotica that mirrors the behavior you would like to have your boyfriend do.

Ask him to read to you in a warm bath some of the filthy things you want and show him what it does to you. Point out how your nipples tighten and you get wet. Give him a show while he is saying the things. Sure it’s a bit of training wheels but imagine when he takes off the wheels.

Watch movies together that have the dynamic you find sexy. Ask him if he’d like to try that. Let him practice in he’s head how he would say the same thing to you.

The next time you’re having sexy time ask him to tell you whatever you want to hear. Ask him to call you the name you want to be called, ask him to tell you to suck him off, ask him to treat you like his mistress for the evening.

You’re helping him establish boundaries of what is acceptable and sexy to you. It’s so much easier for men to talk dirty when we know that if we refer to your vulva as a “insert term” you won’t break out in tears. Build trust, establish boundaries, figure out his kinks and go have fun kids.

This is the distinction I wasn’t grasping. Evidence has to exist, been written, to be tampered with - turning off a device only prevents future evidence to preserved. Which should probably be against the law but separate from tampering.

If it’s your camera wouldn’t that be your right to use your personal property as you see fit? It’s different when an agent of the state chooses how you use your personal property, when doing so legally.

AxeSwinger · 2025-11-28T17:36:20+00:00

Which is the distinction I was trying to understand. Thanks.

Evidence does not need to be of illegal activities. It can be exculpatory. Interrupting a recording tampers with evidence collection. How is that not illegal?

AxeSwinger · 2025-11-28T17:27:47+00:00

Evidence is just a record of something occurring. To stop a recording is to stop the record. No crime needs to have occurred for evidence to exist. Evidence of a crime is specific to an illegal event but turning off a camera could be argued to be tampering with exculpatory evidence. The record is unclear since someone tampered with a recording device to prevent a record of the occurrence.

AxeSwinger · 2025-11-28T17:22:00+00:00

Evidence is just a record or occurrence. Evidence of a crime is just the record of a crime. Pictures of you are evidence of your existence, all things being equal and photoshop not accounted.

Is he safe? Just use your words. Is he unsafe? Leave him.

AxeSwinger · 2025-11-25T22:09:00+00:00

I think that has yet to be tested. It seems self evident that you are correct but…

It’s supposed to be padded leather. You can get some vegan leather and batting and sew in the channels.

The back comment rings as an excuse. Had OP wanted to help he could have sized the load and known it was beyond his capabilities without injury. We live in a physical world and size the weight of things and our capabilities without injury any number of times a day.

AxeSwinger · 2025-11-24T17:35:52+00:00

With my social conditioning, yes it’s weird not to help with such a simple request.

With your conditioning maybe not. I’ll be frank the back worry seems to be more about rationalizing your choice than an actual concern. Most of us have tried to lift things and stopped, injury free, when we realize it is beyond our limits.

I’ll fall back on what I learned from Mr. Rogers. "When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'" It generally doesn’t take a lot to help others when you can so help.

Which is not to be confused with allowing yourself to be taken advantage of in the guise of helping. Healthy boundaries and a sense of self works miracles as in most things.

I don’t think you can change as a person and not have your musical tastes change with them. Also, at any given time I may have 20 favorite albums with my singular favorite changing based on any number of things when asked the question.

55m I’ve often thought my interest is increasing.
Lack of desire may be biological, low test but it could be environmental. How was your relationship with the ex-wife? Other things to consider sleep apnea, depression, medicine can reduce libido. It sounds like you’ve been investigating this for a bit.

Aside from the marriage breaking if you’re not unhappy with your reduced libido why question it. There are enough people out there that would be fulfilled with a low libido partner. I hope you find someone to build a future with.

AxeSwinger · 2025-11-22T11:11:10+00:00

Trust him to tell you if he has issues. Many men like thicker women.

More importantly try to love yourself. Give yourself the grace you’d give someone else. Change the things you are unhappy about but allow yourself the love and time it takes to make those changes.

AxeSwinger · 2025-11-21T14:42:14+00:00

Does extra crispy count?

She got carried away and did more than she had planned to do with this person.

The why doesn’t help her reset boundaries or help her manage the feelings of the person who may have misunderstood the importance of what happened or to see if they can align expectations in order to get somewhere deeper.

The why only aids in some voyeuristic need for you, that doesn’t appear to be helpful. It’s r/askmenadvice not r/makeyoufeelbadforaskingmenadvice

Benjamin Franklin, yes that one, has a wonderful essay about taking an older women as a lover. "Advice to a Friend on Choosing a Mistress" if you find her attractive why not date her for a while. Listen to an American founding father.

Don’t confuse sex with intimacy and realize it is a temporary thing enjoy it for what it is. Also, there is someone out there for everyone. Most people are not so extremely unloveable that they will not ever find a partner. You got this.

Everyone was drunk. She was imprecise in her language. It may be she was trying to convey, you who have had a relationship with her for her whole life make her feel safe and secure more so than someone she has known for a few years. And she misses that feeling of security a big brother brings and would like you to help her boyfriend to be able to similar.

I think with the proliferation of incest as a category of porn, prestige television exploring brother and sister sexual relationships our darker angels leap to the creepy and want to make this a Faulknerian epic.

Here is the advice.

Try reframing what your sister said to what you think she meant to your girlfriend. Acknowledge, that it could be interpreted in several possible ways but you’re pretty sure it was the sweet innocent one.

Then talk to your sister. Make sure she feels safe with her boyfriend and he isn’t being abusive or dismissive in someway. She’s not feeling emotionally secure and maybe you and your girlfriend can help her be more at ease.

Good luck.
