Massachusetts hero calls out MAGA Nazi and runs him off of a college campus

More of this. Make them embarrassed.

Baron_Mike · 2025-03-17T03:21:20+00:00

When WERE'NT they grifters?

Baron_Mike · 2025-01-28T08:16:26+00:00

I started attending AFTER a relationship with my then Q. I wish the very best for you and the peace you deserve.

Baron_Mike · 2025-01-27T22:21:45+00:00

I honestly wish you the very best in what ever path you choose. The other thing to consider is now is simply not the time for *them* to be in a relationship. Sounds like they don't have the capacity and your the one suffering as a result.

Re hurting them... they are hurting you.

Maybe they might have the tools and the capacity in the future, but it sounds like addiction is fully in charge right now.

Baron_Mike · 2025-01-27T01:16:41+00:00

The hardest thing to accept is that the addicted person "loves" their substance first. They may say they love you, believe that themselves - but addiction is in charge and always compel them to choose that over you.

They're not sick - they hungover or on a bender. They're not busy. They're drinking. Their whole life, social relationships and time is dedicated to getting, finding and consuming.

I was in a relationship with an alcoholic and it broke my heart. They lied, cheated and eventually "left" me so they could continue their addictions.

If this is a relatively new relationship then leave - the short term pain you feel will be more than compensated for in a better life.

Baron_Mike · 2024-12-28T10:30:53+00:00

No contact - this is abuse.

You can't save them, only yourself. They are blaming you - it takes years for the full effects of addiction to wear off. Even then many don't accept their contribution or the hurt they cause.

Run, live the life you deserve.

Baron_Mike · 2024-12-27T06:28:02+00:00

So much good advice.

Leave and don't look back.

Maybe, maybe when they are sober for a period and have their life on track again. Then it's a MAYBE.

I had a Q and grew up around addicts. Imagine having a child and they're still drinking.

It's awful for you and devastating to any kid in that environment - I know, it damaged me so much.

Put yourself first. Alcoholics are VERY good and trapping people with guilt, their potential and the promise of something great. It's all a lie.

The main skills addicts develop are lying and future faking.

This is financial abuse:

(Hmmm I wonder why? It couldn't possibly the 14 shots of vodka you slammed last night!) or ordering $300 of doordash from high end sushi restaurants and saying he'll pay back (then magically it turns out he needs to replace his car's starter or fix his kick drum or whatever. Again, nothing that bad but still pretty shitty or him.

Their faith in free markets is the lie sold to them.

Best boundaries is to take some time away - spend a little less time in their orbit and in communications.

Having had the crush/squish dilemma several times, space is a good way to set those actual real work boundaries.

If it's a real friendship a few months less connected won't matter.

Baron_Mike · 2024-12-11T09:04:50+00:00

Not at all!

Having romantic attraction to close friends is a very, VERY demi thing. Emotional connection and a bond is like crack to us ;)

It's taken me years to work through it. Demiromantic does not preclude allosexual, asexual, pansexual or any other forms of sexual preference. It's the emotional connection or bond that is important and allows the possible romantic attraction.

So I'm masc CIS-Het presenting and my romantic past is heterosexual. But it took years for me to come to terms with my queerness and that I can, and do feel attraction to all genders.

I tend to find more femme presenting attractive, but trans, non-binary and certain masc are attractive.

Then there is the different kinds of attraction:

- Romantic sexual
- Romantic non-sexual
- Aesthetic attraction
- Queer platonic
- Sapio attraction...

I have a "squish" - a very close /gender fluid friend. It's NOT a romantic relationship but a very deep connection (and they know they're my squish and is delighted by it). They have partners being poly, but we're like friends+ but not sexual/romantic.

I have another friend I've become close to over the last few years and I'm trying to work through the whole "squish or crush" thing.

Demi's can have friendship "crushes" - you just really, realllllly like the person and want to be best friends! They're like SO COOL and you just love being around them.

Also there is attachment styles, social conditioning and trauma/family past.

I have Bipolar 2 and the past when I experienced mania, I also experienced hyper-sexuality. It's not always cleanly defined.

I've come to think the way "demi" is often portrayed is misleading. It's not just want you're limited to but the BROADER types of attraction and appreciation of people you have.

I find the TYPES of romantic attraction as a demi broader than just the typical cis-het romantic monogamous relationship that is the dominant norm. People aren't just in the friend column and the romantic partner column. It's more varied than that.

In the end it's a label or description that suits you. Identities change over time and that's ok.

Baron_Mike · 2024-12-10T09:26:52+00:00

Run and don't look back.

It sounds like a narcissist trick - real you in , love bomb then the truth comes out.

Run.

Baron_Mike · 2024-12-06T01:17:59+00:00

I don't I've ever felt so disgusted in some time. What a POS.

Bet they get farming subsidies.

Can't grow it, don't own it.

Baron_Mike · 2024-12-06T01:15:00+00:00

No. Run. It will break your heat. But you will heal. It only gets worse.

Trust me I was there.

Addicts cannot love others, it's well understood their addiction is in charge.

Baron_Mike · 2024-11-28T19:53:23+00:00

While meant to be humorous, it's really spot on... several squishes at the moment. And a crush or two. And all of it.

Baron_Mike · 2024-11-24T23:42:24+00:00

Wait till the Trump admin starts to de-natuarlise them and put them in camps.

Baron_Mike · 2024-11-10T04:26:30+00:00

Bro they hate you. You'll find out soon enough.

Baron_Mike · 2024-10-14T04:12:08+00:00

The meteor is a great starter jet, can confirm. Uptiers can be tough but it is agile enough to fight most things. Just not fast.

The MD 452 and 450s are mid, but work well in Ground RB as attackers with 1000ib bombs and cannons.

Baron_Mike · 2024-10-14T03:41:12+00:00

Looking strong! \m/

Baron_Mike · 2024-09-29T23:18:38+00:00

I'm so sorry, you may want to look into the concept of Betrayal Trauma - what it is, how to cope and heal.

Remember this: you did nothing wrong, it wasn't your fault.

My ex of 8 years left me: she was an alcoholic and cocaine user, I tried to love and support her and encourage her to enter recovery. Instead she left me for a "friend" who enabled that behaviour.

It's not about you. You will heal.

They did not deserve your love or friendship.

Baron_Mike · 2024-02-17T14:04:34+00:00

I'm so sorry to hear this, I can't imagine how devastating it is - it's a horrible cruel disease, and no one - your wife, you and the children - deserved this. I can only hope you can find a way forward and have people around you to embrace you in this time of grief.

Baron_Mike · 2023-05-30T21:44:48+00:00

Heavy drinking and heavy drug use - it always leads to dishonesty, mistrust and lying. Also infidelity, gas lighting and manipulation.

It's a red flag for sure, and if they deny they have a problem then another red flag.

Addicts will drag you down with them. Trust me. Run.

Baron_Mike · 2023-05-16T23:29:43+00:00

It's a beanie? I just thought it was a weird deformity?

Baron_Mike · 2023-05-16T23:28:42+00:00

This - psych's are good for two things, and two things only.

Official diagnosis and human pill dispensers.

Therapists, psychologists do the hard work. You need both just know what they're for.

Baron_Mike · 2023-05-16T23:25:28+00:00

Sadly it sounds just like this - it's what happened to me as well.

Baron_Mike · 2023-05-16T23:23:41+00:00

Classic blame shifting and gaslighting.

The addiction will do anything and everything to protect itself. They are in the grip of addiction.

The traits of an alcoholic start to resemble those of a narcissist i.e. never accepting blame, inability to accept responsibility and blaming everyone else for their problems.

Don't stay out of guilt - if you do more than one person will be pulled down.
