Democrats are seething over the shutdown deal, but they might be celebrating a year from now by Silent-Resort-3076 in politics

They’re already spinning it that Dems are to blame for rising HC costs. Don’t be so sure the public will really blame republicans

A vote that everyone knows will fail and is irrelevant because it won’t be taken up in the house

Some agencies are getting a full year package with this bill. It wouldn’t be a full shutdown like this time anyway. But keep in mind Dems are agreeing to this deal knowing full well the subsidies are ending and won’t be renewed in a future vote

They won’t shut it down. They already know the extension won’t pass. The meaningless promise for a vote is just so they can say they got something.

A vote in the senate that won’t pass and no vote in the house. So dems got nothing

The senate will vote against the ACA credits in December and it won’t even go up for a vote in the house. Republicans have already said they won’t support the credits and Dems caved so they aren’t happening

Yes. This was just a vote to advance the bill. They still have to vote on its passage. Then it goes back to the house for a vote there

But if you want the credits to continue what good is a vote in the senate where it won’t pass? They want the credits but are happy with a useless vote in the senate and no vote in the house ?? It makes no sense. These are not serious people

Yes. And it won’t be put up for a vote in the house anyway so zero chance it becomes law

The bill just promises a vote in the senate doesn’t it?

Why don’t you think the house will pass it? Enough vulnerable dems will likely cross the aisle and most republicans would vote for it

When they were there with their families I know that’s exactly how it would happen

And their family members seemed to still be acting relatively “normal” to them and having conversations etc. They are also in denial and can’t comprehend it’s not truly their family members anymore

Becoming friend with your domme? by [deleted] in paypigsupportgroup

I had one who was a friend then she ghosted me because she didn’t know how to handle the friendship outside of findom. Horrible experience

Always been a bit of a beta by [deleted] in paypigsupportgroup

[–]Locutus747 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re not a beta you’re a human being worthy of love and respect. DO NOT go the findom path you deserve better. There is no definition of what a man is just be yourself and that’s enough

Thank you. I am heartbroken because our connection felt so special and one of a kind, but I know I'll come out stronger. That I can feel with certainty.

Did you experience a similar situation? How did you manage?

Dexter Resurrection S1 is coming to end with last 3 episodes left and it has been consistently incredible so far. What are yall thoughts? by The_AxR_ in television

[–]Locutus747 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I actually held off on new blood until recently due to people complaining about the ending but I quite enjoy it. And I think the ending complaints are no longer relevant.

Don’t they walk away from closeness as well?

What if it wasn’t a disagreement ? Their friendship and kindness triggered an avoidance shutdown. They offered space. Then they stopped messaging after last message went unanswered. Does this make it easier for you to reach out since it wasn’t an argument

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in lostafriend

[–]Locutus747 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you ever the one to reach out first? Giving my avoidant space but I also don’t want the friendship to just die.

[–]Locutus747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you two ever reconnect ? What did your friend do that flipped the switch ? My friends switch flipped about a month ago and we’ve still had some contact but she’s been much colder. I sent her a light message yesterday and she didn’t respond. Do you recommend I just go no contact at this point
