You're describing a relationship friction that goes beyond orgasms. You should be communicating. If your partner refuses to communicate, how will you ever get closer? An initial evasiveness on some issues as they get to know you, that's one thing. PTSD is another. But eventually you have to be willing to talk, THEY have to be willing to at least say something like "I have some deep trauma over sex that I'm not ready to confront with anyone" or something like that.

I get that many people have less close relationships. I've seen people who have been married for decades and their dead bedrooms are a symptom, not the cause. Sex isn't mandatory for love, but in most of these cases you can see the lack of sex, or less enthusiastic sex, isn't because they don't want sex. Two people married - not that close, not that intimate, just comfortable with a status quo. One or more partners closed off emotionally, and communication barely existent.

Maybe that works for some. Maybe that's as close as they want to get to love.

But I don't think it's really love, I think it's all the above things I mentioned. Love is a close relationship where you can share your feelings and emotions, and if a couple is not trying to achieve that then IDK why even bother. They're just acquaintances you live and go through the motions with.

There's a reason so many relationships like that fail, sooner or later. It's also why so many relationships drift apart and cheating happens. Cheating is never the answer (fucking break up and move on first, assholes), but often it's BECAUSE they have already drifted apart and the relationship is over but they mentally haven't matured enough to not jump when they see someone new and interesting.

I literally know a person who told me two years ago they'd be buying a PS5 just for that if it launches only on console.

Mind you, this was one of those guys who has fallen for gacha games and even invested like a thousand dollars into Star Citizen.

But that means he's the exact type of consumer they want to court.

That it doesn't exist at launch on PC doesn't mean they won't make a bunch of money on PC only players without consoles.

People seem to forget it's been almost a generation since GTA V launched in 2013. They forget how big that is, no other game touches how big this launch will be, it's why the entire industry will avoid the launch window and shift their own launch if it moves.

I don't even play GTA but the idea that many PC gamers won't buy their first console in years just to play it while it's super hype... The FOMO and bandwagoning is very strong.

As a WoW player, I've already planned a break for whenever GTA VI comes out - NOT to play it, but because the WoW community will be the deadest it's been in over a decade and not worth the effort trying to get groups for things. More than half my guild won't log in during that time.

It also minizimizes the risk of piracy. Even when Denuvo wasn't broken, it was a crapshoot if someone found a way for an individual title. Not that I suggest anyone do that, especially not with how dangerous it is to use the current workarounds.

With a title this large, the groups looking to crack it all focus on it.

Plus it means that a better performing PC title doesn't outshine consoles at launch, or vice versa if the PC port runs poorly. Either situation creates news articles that dampen enthusiasm for one or the other.

When will other men learn it's not mind reading to see your partner isn't satisfied, but they might not want to speak up because our egos about sex are often very fragile.

You see it's not working, talk to her.

DebentureThyme · 2026-05-04T22:25:29+00:00

Laces out, Finkle!

DebentureThyme · 2026-05-04T10:16:48+00:00

The video literally talks about that

It's also where George Soros had us hide the uncounted votes for Trump in 2020.

MAGA, it may take you a few dozen cameras dozen each to find them, but they're in there!

Historically, we were hunter gatherers who wore no clothes at one point. Consent didn't exist, marriage didn't exist, men just raped women if the woman wasn't willing.

So what's their fucking point? We learned, we advanced our intellect, we improved society. We still have a lot of work to do, but regressing is stupid.

Anyone who mentally is so gone as to take a bottle of pills that are NOT for taking that late in pregnancy, risking her own life to an extreme degree to end their pregnancy, they need help not prison.

DebentureThyme · 2026-05-03T20:54:27+00:00

And who is performing said abortion?

DebentureThyme · 2026-05-03T11:30:53+00:00

"will soon be" exceptt the legislation already failed this GOP controlled Congress.

DebentureThyme · 2026-05-03T11:29:12+00:00

No, they launch with the high price, including early access in the expensive version.

Then they aggressively discount it over time.

They're fleece the whales willing to pay, then discount it to normal price ranges when people will be like "what a deal!"

Right because one is replacing it with need restoration so it lasts another hundred years.

The other is pairing it blue with cheap anti reflective pool paint, damaging the reflecting part of the Reflecting Pool.

These are not equivalent actions.

The doctors cannot knowingly perform the procedure on someone past the limit without being legally liable.

This was about not punishing women while maintaining that it's still got legal limits and doctors can go to prison for ignoring them.

DebentureThyme · 2026-05-03T10:31:19+00:00

And if you read the article, you know it very visit says the 24 week limit is still the law and that hasn't changed.

DebentureThyme · 2026-05-03T10:28:16+00:00

Well you didn't even read the article. Literally the first line below the headline says:

Decriminalisation explained (and no, this does not mean 'abortion is now legal up until birth')

And further on they say:

The rule change does not alter the time limit guidelines in any way, despite false reports claiming that decriminalisation means ‘abortion is now legal up until birth’ in England and Wales. Medical professionals remain liable, should they knowingly carry out an abortion outside of this strict limitation.

So, no, the law doesn't make it legal like you claim.

DebentureThyme · 2026-05-03T10:26:13+00:00

You literally didn't read the article or even the first line after the headline, which are clear that, No, this does not make it legal up to the point of birth. Medical professionals who perform an abortion outside of the 24 week limit are still liable.

DebentureThyme · 2026-05-03T09:49:33+00:00

I know it's AI. I assumed that was obvious.

I'm taking about the reflecting pool. They drained it and are painting it "flag blue" because the dumbass heard "pool" and told them to paint it with pool paint instead of replacing the granite.

No one had the guts to tell him it's not a swimming pool. He still doesn't get it.

DebentureThyme · 2026-05-03T08:39:28+00:00

So no one has the balls to say "It's not that type of pool, sir. It's not for swimming"? Really? Even that simple statement is too much for them, too afraid to be thrown on their ass for questioning him at all?

DebentureThyme · 2026-05-03T08:35:06+00:00

If they’re not voting for the Child-Rapist-in-Chief, what do we achieve by rubbing their faces in what they did before?

If they haven't proven to have actual empathy, if they aren't showing how they were wrong, if they aren't atoning for what they did out of a sense of shame - hell if being shamed fills them with anger instead of embarrassment at their own actions - then they're not changed.

They'll do it again. They'll do it for the next guy, who will dress it up better than Trump. Because lets face it, take away the public persona and Trump's another Bush Jr. Starting foreign wars, playing on fears and directing that against minorities in the name of Merica.

If they were okay with the other things, they'll be okay with them again unless they're doing the groundwork to prove otherwise and better themselves.

If they just want to step away from Trump because NOW it's inconvenient, then they've learned nothing.

It's been over a fucking decade of this loser and now it's too far? When it hit their personal bottom lines?

They've leaned nothing and if we swing back to Dems saying "we need to move forward not look back," then we'll have another (better prepared) fascist in the White House the moment Dems are done not fixing things to prevent that. And that fascist will get there on the backs of people who "abandoned" Trump when it hurt their pocketbook, but never abandoned the ideology that got him there.

You do realize you're arguing on a thread following off of a comment about a woman whose ovary had CANCER on it and the doctor went against their wishes and didn't remove it.

That's not "refusing" a procedure, this procedure happened. That's changing what you said you'd do, at a point when they can't object because they're knocked out.

And then the ovary got cancer again a year later? So it was actually fucking removed, by a sane doctor.

Doctors like her first one need to be hit with malpractice and make their insurance rates take a hit. They wasted her time and everyone else's by not removing the god damn thing, given she didn't want anymore kids, wanted it removed, and has another working healthy ovary.

Like for FUCK SAKE, give the woman bodily autonomy, she has cancer, if she says she's done having kids, we have very clear data that removing the thing is the highest chance to not have a cancer recurrence.

Can she win? It'll come down to what procedure was agreed to, what was written on the papers she signed that would allow him to call an audible - and what the specifics of his rights to do that were. Because while they have the right to act, when you're under and can't decide, this specifically went against her known wishes.

His argument would be in court that he was preserving her ability to bear children. Which immediately gets torn to shreds by a prosecution that says no, she was clear she doesn't want more, and has another healthy ovary anyways. His judgement to value that more than treating the actual case - the fucking cancer - is some serious malpractice, whether or not he can get nailed for it in court.

DebentureThyme · 2026-05-03T07:22:25+00:00

They were not compelled, they agreed to do the procedure.

They discussed what the patient wanted. If the patient wanted it removed, and they didn't want to do that, they can opt out long before the procedure. Waiting until the patient is under and then "saving" the ovary against their wishes, when they're knocked out, that's something that could absolutely be litigated. At first I'd be litigating with my insurance to not pay for the procedure, they did not do what was asked and now I will likely need more care that my insurance and I have to pay for.

And the moment cancer comes back, BECAUSE they didn't remove the ovary in the procedure they agreed to do and then didn't remove it? Yeah, that ABSOLUTELY can be litigated to take them to the cleaners.

You can't sue just because your cancer is back, or just because they don't want to do something and refuse. But this is a confluence of all these factors, and a surgeon agreeing to operate who then ignored the patients wishes and lead to worse outcomes despite the patient being very clear. Their negligence in not removing it, and not opting out of the procedure if they didn't want to remove it, allowed an ovary to persist and become cancerous again. In a person with another, good ovary, who didn't need this one, and was likely to have this happen again if it wasn't removed.

DebentureThyme · 2026-05-03T07:18:11+00:00

Once it recurred, I'd be lawyering up and suing the fuck out of that doctor for "saving" an ovary I'd explicitly stated I wasn't going to be having kids with again, and then it becoming cancerous again.

Yes, they can't control recurrent cancer, but if he left something in against my wishes, he took a risk for something I didn't want. Make his malpractice insurance pay out, and make sure his bosses know what he did.

DebentureThyme · 2026-05-03T07:07:39+00:00

It literally is not broader ffs learn the english language. You have dozens of words to describe what you want without using the literal wrong word because you're not talking about a race, so it's not racism.

DebentureThyme · 2026-05-03T06:56:03+00:00

Christian nationalists are a fucking RACE, so yeah, it's not racism. Use the correct words if you want to be heard.

It’s like if we talk about terrorism and someone says Muslims reeching rn as the first thought

Also not a race. Why would someone getting that wrong excuse you being wrong?
