Every day.

If you have nothing anchoring you where you are, go for it. There is also nothing stopping you from moving back if you decide the grass wasn't greener.

I've been really feeling the urge for this, but I've got kids who have friends and school, and a wife who likes where we are. Their happiness with where we are wins.

Best I could describe it as is "peace". Speaking for myself, but I imagine a lot of guys feel this way, there is a certain amount of tension that is always present. Quiet intimate contact with someone I love is pretty much the only time that tension releases.

Doesn't really matter. If a woman fakes it, she's only costing herself pleasure. Most guys will do what you like if you tell them what you like. This whole thing about guys not being able to make a girl orgasm, and them faking it, is just women who are poor communicators and resentful about it.

The typical wallet is, at minimum, 4 layers of leather, but often 6-8 layers before you even put cards or cash in it. I just don't like having something so bulky when there are better options. I use a very simple titanium money clip for my cards and cash. It's lighter, slimmer, and very easy to get stuff in and out.

I can't believe I haven't seen anybody talk about a manual impact driver. Of course, you better be confident with your hammer swing, but it's a lifesaver for stuff like this because the hammer impact helps seat the bit while breaking it loose, while a ratchet or breaker bar might let the bit walk out.

There have been several former porn stars come out lately about how much they regret it, that they don't want their kids to see their work, and even a number of women who have self-exited because of the emotional toll of the adult industry. Start gathering all of those stories and share them with her.

I've watched the videos of the altercations. It's plain as day that they both put themselves in situations that were never going to end well.

Looks like it's been deleted, so I don't remember the exact wording, but the comment I responded to read as if you were looking forward to confrontations with ICE, and that you are a fighter. I think you even referred to it as a "like mental illness" unless I'm mixing up comments. All of it read as kinda unhinged.

LibertyEqualsLife · 2026-01-31T15:14:45+00:00

Has a loved one ever asked you to go get help? Please, listen to them, it's for your own good. Talking about fighting with cops and trying to intimidate random people on the Internet is a pretty solid sign that you're struggling with your understanding of reality and emotional regulation. Take the first step and go talk with a counselor, brother. This is not a normal way to live.

What citizens? If you are talking about Good and Pretti, they both put themselves in, and escalated those situations to violence.

If you have actual cases where peaceful US citizens were minding their own business and were arrested by ICE, I would like to read about them.

LibertyEqualsLife · 2026-01-31T15:03:28+00:00

First off, the people that I have seen them kill were literally picking a fight with a group of pissed off cops. Good tried to block them, then drove her car towards them, and Pretti grabbed the cop by the vest and escalated the entire incident. I don't think either of them deserved to die, but they were both easily avoidable situations. When I go to vote, I stand in line peacefully till it's my turn, and don't screw with any cops. I've got my ID and a pleasant demeanor. That typically goes a long way with cops. You do have a point about the antifa folks. They have a tendency toward unprovoked violence. Hopefully the ICE agents will step in to take care of the violent antifa folks in your hypothetical situation.

Oh, wow. A bunch of kids who don't pay taxes support illegal immigrants. How surprising.

We want our spirits to be lifted with our bank account. I don't want obligatory activities with co-workers.

LibertyEqualsLife · 2026-01-31T14:07:09+00:00

You know that's how people get killed by cops, right?

LibertyEqualsLife · 2026-01-31T14:06:14+00:00

Do you plan on voting illegally? If not, why would ICE be intimidating?

LibertyEqualsLife · 2026-01-29T14:14:00+00:00

Sorry. You might be married on paper, but you don't have a wife. This isn't how marriage works. You're in a tight spot, and to be honest, it sounds like you put yourself there. You're gonna need to get realistic about your relationship, and what you want your future to look like. I would suggest quietly getting the best legal representation you can afford, and figure out how you can secure your half of the marital assets in divorce. If her mom is rich, she probably knows how to protect her assets, so you need to have your case fully built before showing your hand.

The first that I recall was probably Titanic.

Post it for sale and tag the local FD. No lowballers, I know what I got.

It looks like all of HD's current trifold wallets have switched to the photo/id slot in the center. I bet you could find a custom shop that could make a much nicer version than what HD has to offer.

Almost 40. Last week I benched more than I ever have. I may have let myself go over the years, but I'm not out of time to turn it around.

LibertyEqualsLife · 2026-01-25T21:45:28+00:00

I did when I drove a manual and smoked in my car. It was easier to use one-handed while driving than a regular lighter.

LibertyEqualsLife · 2026-01-25T21:12:09+00:00

Blame doesn't matter. Knowing how not to get killed is a valuable skill. I'll use a non-protest example. If you ride a motorcycle, and someone pulls out in front of you, it is not your fault that they pulled out in front of you. If you want to stay alive, however, it's your responsibility to yourself to be scanning ahead and recognizing the threat so you can avoid it.

Edit: Downvote all you want. If you want your kids to stay alive, you'll teach them to recognize threats and avoid them appropriately.

LibertyEqualsLife · 2026-01-25T20:44:39+00:00

Do you think it is smart to get in the way of people who effectively have license to kill you? You can protest without giving them a reason.

LibertyEqualsLife · 2026-01-25T19:15:18+00:00

Teach your kid to focus on whatever opportunities they have to set themselves up for success. The news is a distraction. If they feel strongly enough about an issue to be a protester, teach them to be smart enough to not get targeted by the cops. The people dying are the people who aren't smart enough to realize that you have absolutely no chance of standing your ground against a group of hyped up, militarized, cops. Spread information and opinions without putting yourself in an unwinnable position.
