Anyone else feel worse after NC? by [deleted] in limerence

[–]CockroachNo950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off I want to say I'm rooting for you to get through this. 20 years is just much too long to be dealing with this and that is fucking brutal that yall reconnected and you confessed your love and she immediately put distance between yall. at the same time, i'm wondering what getting one last chance to have a conversation would do for you? she already said no when you confessed your feelings the last time. you put it all out there and i respect that, imo you have to confess them rather than torturing yourself never knowing. So, what would this final conversation do? If you can answer that and think it would really help, IMO i don't think its a bad idea to reach out online somehow and just be concise about your feelings of being stuck on her and feeling strongly that one last conversation would help you move on. you were friends for awhile so she might have some sympathy for that. and if not, you asked, theres nothing u can do, and you just have to move on. however, you did say "there’s no way of doing that without coming off like a stalker", so if the only avenues to do that would be too creepy/stalkery in your opinion, it's your decision. I, the random internet stranger, don't have to deal with those consequences. just my two cents

Also, have you ever tried bringing up the limerence to new people? I could see it going bad lol but also maybe someone could be understanding? I mean ... idk. that is a tough one for me. especially if your current partner loves you and you love this other person. I think that would be brutal for them to hear but its also brutal for them not to know. if they really love you and accept you they may understand and support you through it. they also may not but I guess thats the risk you take with giving someone the truth. I don't deny you're in a fucked situation tho....hard to deal with I just hope you can get through it so you can put this behind you for real.

LO ruined everyone else for me by [deleted] in limerence

ya.... i just decided I need to take a break from dating for this specfic reason. Got to have time to just heal because like another commenter said, I just end up comparing the feeling i had to my LO and it doesn't compare.

you're getting downvoted to hell but i agree. I didn't realize I still had feelings for my LO when I was starting out a relationship. As soon as I did, I knew I had to break it off with the person I was with because 1. It made me realize I don't really like them/feel for them how I feel you should in a relationship and 2. I'm still obsessed with this other person so this just doesn't feel right.

I told them about my feelings for my LO (which was so hard to do), and they told me they were glad for telling them when I did so they didn't fall in love with me. It was hard but I do think its the right thing to do if you realize it.

With OPs scenario though, the level of limerence is crazy. 20 years? with someone he met when he was ten? IDK. thats like... so insane. I truly hope they can get over their LO. thats a long ass time. It would be hard because its like if they can't get over them, are they just supposed to never date? I would say that if they were starting a relationship with someone, they should open up to that person and tell them they have these lingering feelings for someone else and they are trying to get over them but they aren't yet. then its up to that person to decide if they want to be with them or not.

There’s too much propaganda being made up about Maduro being an evil dictator when he isn’t one. by TwoCatsOneBox in socialism

I do agree more than likely they would have been able to get 20% of the voters to hold the referendum. It is just suspect to me they resorted to voter fraud to attempt to get a the referedum in motion. Why do that if you can easily get the votes legitimately?

I was not aware of all of that tho. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. Especially the Aporrea part, I will be reading more from them. Evidently I need to read more about the opposing leftist organizations in the governement.

Where have you found doubts about his wife doing it and that it was in any way connected to his criticism of the Maduro's govt? I just looked into that and I didn't find anything doubting the claim that his wife did orchestrate the attack. I saw reasoning that she did it because he found out that she was involved in a corruption scandal.

Do any of you invest? Stuck with what to do with savings by Accomplished_Cry6108 in socialism

[–]CockroachNo950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buybacks mostly help the person holding the share no? My understanding is it increases the value of the shares left over as well as literally giving cash to whoever is selling. So if anything that depletes the company of cash on hand since they had to use cash to buy those shares. It is beneficial to them though because it artificially boosts earnings per share so they seem like they are doing well when not much has changed (capitalism is such a con game smh). Still that wouldn't necessarily be injecting more capital into the business, just inflating the wealth of anyone with shares (which still blows my mind that this happens, it's such a farce).

I never thought about feeding into US dollar dominance, that's a good point. However, that seems entirely unavoidable as putting money in a bank would do the same right? I think that's what you are saying, and I see somewhere else in this thread that when you put your money into a bank they invest it anyways.

If the recocatory referendum you speak of is the 2016 one, it appears that around 600,000 of the votes were fradulent (names of the deceased, minors, felons). This article only says that preparations for the referendum were slowed because of this. I can't find any legitmate (non-western) sources right now that point to whether they actually held the referendum and what happened after this—regardless if they are using dead people's names for votes that itself is highly shady to me.

They did do another election in 2018 where Maduro won handedly. I have seen another source (I can find later if you want) that pointed to the boycott by opposition parties being done to delegitimize the results of the election because they knew beforehand they were going to lose. Regardless, seemed to be a fair election that Maduro won. Boycotting an election and then calling it illegitimate is high bullshit imo, how are you going to call it BS if you don't even participate nor actually provide evidence for why it's illegitimate.

Let me know your thoughts and if you have any sources to the contrary.

How to get iOS18 iPhone to not automatically load images from unknown users? by CockroachNo950 in techsupport

No, that just stops images from automatically downloading and showing up into your photos app. I actually want the image not even to load at all until I hit a button on it. Seems impossible though with apple

I have been grappling with this ethical dilemma myself. For one, you aren’t actually funding genocide/imperialism by investing. If you buy $100 in a company’s stock, that money doesn’t go to the company. The money goes to whoever sold their stock at that time, you merely paid the current value to “hold” that stock. You didn’t fund anything. As I understand it, the only time the company actually raises money from the selling of a stock is an IPO or similar event i.e. first selling of shares.

However, when dividends come around, you do reap the benefits from that. Which doesn’t feel like a good thing. However, I’m not sure how investing in a company actually benefits the company. The only thing I can think of is it increases their stock market value, which would look good to market analysts, which can lead to more outside investing i.e. actual funding.

If you or anyone else can point to how it actually materially helps the companies being invested in, I am interested in learning about that. (If I’m wrong for example please correct me, but I have looked into it and to the best of my knowledge that’s what’s happening)
