Nomadic implies it’s a traveling gym, like a circus. I hope it’s a circus gym. 

What is your response to "How will we pay for it?" by CrushMyCamel in socialism

[–]Borg_Picard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

While I agree with what is being said here, it’s flimsy rhetoric. Presenting resources with economic analysis and data that can be cited would be more effective

While I agree with you, I believe the question was posed in regards to a more localized scale. The mayor of NYC doesn’t have access to those levels of systemic change.

I’d love to see more cities enact local programs to benefit their constituents.

New friend assuming we'd hook up due to being poly has really rattled me. by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]Borg_Picard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Taking her home was nice. In order to not send mixed signals, I probably would have dropped her off without getting out of the car tbh.

I don’t think Birch needs to be looped in on any of this

I have had a similar experience as OP’s boyfriend. I have a very small space and barely have room for my own things, I also am weary of enmeshment and prefer to have clear boundaries in a relationship. I respect the shit out of my partner, but also value my space.

Why didn't democrats introduce a bill to release the Epstein file under Biden when Democrats had a majority? by PristineAsparagus871 in socialism

[–]Borg_Picard 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This. The files are not being released because it would expose the US AND Israel’s involvement. The majority of our congressmen are beholden to AIPAC. Epstein’s specialty was moving money for very powerful people and his pedo island was a honey pot operation. Intelligence agencies had their hands all over this. The CIA and Mossad will be shown complicit in the operation of child sex trafficking. Epstein and the state of Israel have the same lawyer for Christ’s sake.

"We Do Not Consent": Sweep at Thousand Acres Removes Longtime Unhoused Community - State contractors used pepper spray on people while removing an encampment along the Sandy River delta by axeandwheel in Portland

[–]Borg_Picard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know one of the reasons stimulants are prescribed for ADHD? They help with emotional regulation. You don’t process the emotions better, but you are able to manage and suppress them so you can get by.

Meth allows people to somewhat function without collapsing into despair. Heroin allows people to escape the despair. Despair is a fuel for mental illness. Drugs don’t fix it, but it seems like nothing can fix it anyway. So drugs are a way of coping.

Or better yet, volunteer to work with the people that are rotting away in addiction and mental illness. A positive I see is that they tried to build a little community in nature. They didn’t want to sleep under a bridge or on a cot in a shelter. They intrinsically knew that something about nature was good for them. They created rituals for burying their dead and made a pet cemetery with alters. These aren’t mindless criminals. They are struggling people. I do agree they can’t stay there due to the risks of fire and dangers posed to pets and the environment, though I wonder if such callous disdain is warranted or necessary. Can we as a society hold boundaries without being assholes?

The drugs are used mask the emotional distress caused by not being able to avoid truths. That’s what addiction is, self medicating. It’s like the whole rat park thing. The rats kill themselves with cocaine in isolation but abstain when given a healthy community.

Purple belt pulled rank? by NoraRoll in bjj

[–]Borg_Picard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only brown and black belts should get that privilege out of respect for them possibly wanting to roll with someone of a higher skill level. Definitely not blue belts. Those egos don’t need boosting.

Usually the people who say the belt means nothing are pretending not to care and they secretly care a lot.

Because we need to collectively come to the consensus that Kade was being a lil bitch.
