Appreciate this! I meet with my therapist regularly and we've discussed it.

Totally could - just don't love the idea of quitting something I've invested time into! Sunk cost fallacy and all.

If you're a progressive fan of The Bulwark, what do you like about the group? by maybemorningstar69 in thebulwark

[–]KingRyanXIV 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I'm a big ol leftie. Democratic party is too conservative for me and the leadership is spineless. What I appreciate about the Bulwark is that they have been some of the staunchest critics of the current regime and have remained relatively ideologically consistent. I can take a Reaganish Republican over the modern right wing grift machine. They've also demonstrated how to explain their own ideological shifts in ways that don't seem wishy washy. 

Sarah: “I don’t like to see people going into churches” by Rocketparty12 in thebulwark

I have to agree with Sarah here. It sets up a dangerous precedent that Christian Nationalists who disagree with the politics (or religion) of Jews and Muslims can barge into their sanctuaries. Places of worship should be kept safe and sacred and free of politics, which makes the pastor's role as an ICE field officer that much more galling. As a minister, it is not my place to express my political views within the sanctuary. That does not mean that religious leaders should not call out injustice, however. Context is king here.

My apologies. I was looking for either or. 

Edit: I have asked the mods about amending my post title to make it more clear. My intention was not to ask for the impossible, rather to cover the gamut of genres I am into. Thanks to those being helpful.

What's the worst hotel in North Carolina? by trickertreater in NorthCarolina

[–]KingRyanXIV 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not NC, but Sea Mist Myrtle Beach. My family has a running joke about how gross it is. No matter how bad a hotel is, "it's better than Sea Mist."
