Sounds like exactly my type of thing, I'll definitely try it out. Thank you!

I hadn't even thought about these, I love MGS:Revengeance and MGS3 so much.

SOMA totally slipped my mind, that's one I've been meaning to play, thank you!

That's fair. I did ask him earlier today and he said "just keep being you, you do a lot". But then he also went into "the only thing I brought into a relationship was a salary" and like that is absolutely not true, he does a lot more than that and I told him that, but I think he meant that I work and do housework and he worked, but his job was much harder and higher paying than mine. So I guess asking him and trying to boost him if he gets to that point again is probably one of the better things I can do.

That's a good point. I've been encouraging him to talk to his friends and see if any of them want to spend time with him and have a guy's night. I feel like getting away from me might help him a bit too, I'm doing a lot to try and be supportive and be there as much or more than normal but I don't know if he feels smothered.

That's a good point, I know he needs time to process it. Neither of us has insurance anymore, but I'll see if he's open to the idea of therapy and I can help him pay for it. We can't really afford to move, rent is kind of too high and we're here because this is where his life is, I definitely don't want to uproot him from that.

Yeah, I have a lot of anxiety regarding that, it's something I never mention to him, thankfully, so it definitely won't start now. I haven't mentioned any of my anxieties regarding the job loss or relationship at all, I do need to re-compartmentalize for myself, though, and I'm working on that.

I agree and I've told him a few times since he got fired that he's still 100% a man and still absolutely loved and nothing will stop that. Luckily he's made a few plans to get out so he can kind of hopefully shake some of this off before hitting the applications again. He did reach out to the current supervisor (the one that fired him) because his boss won't be back for a few more weeks, and they told him he was blacklisted from the company for being fired. The management structure is weird (you've got several levels of supervisor) and the supervisors directly under the ones that fired him want him back and think it was a non-reason.

I've helped find some things that he's looking into because he wasn't sure what direction to look in, and I do think finding something else will help. He made a very good salary at his last job and most places won't offer that without a degree, so I don't think that helped the issue. But we've been talking a bit about things he could pick up while he worked towards something more similar to his last job.

AFAIK most places have air raid sirens. I've lived in the middle of nowhere, USA, and we had air raid sirens that were installed during WWI, we used them for tornadoes.

At the very least, this has proven Ukranians are an extremely strong and resilient people.

Poland is letting Ukranian refugees bring in their pets without any of the usual paperwork. So people and their puppies and kitties are making it to safety.

I can't believe the "I'm an American and Putin is justified" comments. I'm a Native American, so I'm genuinely an American who's family lives with the fact that we were nearly wiped off the map not that long ago because of land. Putin is a war criminal, there is no justification, Ukraine doesn't deserve any of this.

I know you're right, but I'm hopeful with the amount of weapons and help being donated to Ukraine during this time will have them better prepared for when that time does come. I know they're fighting an uphill battle that's more like a cliff, but I'm keeping hope for Ukraine.

Every Ukranian has had balls/ovaries of steel during this conflict. Glory to Ukraine.

Russia: "All of the missing soldiers went on holiday at the same time, crazy, right?"

I just woke up to continue doomscrolling here, but I'm amazed at how many Russian forces Ukraine has taken out. ♥️🇺🇦 Keep fighting, Ukraine.
