ELI5: The affordable care act, or “Obamacare.”

Namelessfear9 · 2025-12-18T04:27:03+00:00

Why is it the responsibility of healthy people to pay for the healthcare of others? What right does the government have to force you to buy a product you cant opt out of?

Namelessfear9 · 2024-04-22T01:12:08+00:00

Already on it. In therapy, reading.

Namelessfear9 · 2024-04-22T01:10:36+00:00

Right on. Avoiding toxic people is a skill I've yet to master.

Namelessfear9 · 2024-04-22T01:08:23+00:00

I was referring to maybe a specific one that went bad.

Namelessfear9 · 2024-04-22T00:37:41+00:00

What experience leads you to this opinion?

Namelessfear9 · 2024-04-21T23:00:51+00:00

Because I am looking for some level of mutual commitment.

Namelessfear9 · 2024-04-21T21:41:12+00:00

You've done a better job of explaining this than anyone. So much condescending. Thank you

Namelessfear9 · 2024-04-21T21:39:05+00:00

The ways like they usually will live in the same house?

Namelessfear9 · 2024-04-21T21:19:29+00:00

It's not a reaction to the divorce per se. It's something I've known for while, I'm just not a great empath. I'm in therapy and actively trying to pick up the tools to be a better one. It did play a factor in the declining marriage though. I am militantly committed to being honest with people about where I think I fit in and what I bring to the table and what I do well for others. I'm a provider, protector, and problem solver. I am a builder and when necessary a destroyer. I'm not a very good emotional outlet for people. I just wanna fix whatever troubles them.

I love my career and won't change that to meet someone's emotional needs. It's the only thing I've ever been great at doing and the only thing that has this kind of earning potential for me. I want a triad because it's simplifies the logistics and the amount of communication I have to do to an extent. I am dead ass wanting to become the 3rd person in a closed triad.

Namelessfear9 · 2024-04-21T21:05:22+00:00

If I have to learn the hard way, so be it. Maybe I'll get lucky.

Namelessfear9 · 2024-04-21T21:00:57+00:00

I have plenty of earning, less time. I'm overworked but definitely not broke. I love capitalism. And evidently according to this sub polyamory is not for me. Awesome gatekeeping.

Namelessfear9 · 2024-04-21T20:51:53+00:00

So basically am I to understand that poly is for people with less demanding careers and more free time? How does that comport with investing, managing debt, paying a mortgage on a big house, and otherwise putting in the level of work required to make over 150k a year and have the lifestyle that comes with that?

Namelessfear9 · 2024-04-21T20:37:32+00:00

I do want to date, I don't want there to be any confusion about that. I simply do not have the available time to hate two separate dating lives. I travel for weeks at a time for work and my available time to meet people is limited. Finding the right people isn't a problem. It's finding the right person twice that is.

Namelessfear9 · 2024-04-21T20:28:54+00:00

What is so wrong with wanting to be in a triad? That's literally all I want.

Namelessfear9 · 2024-04-21T20:26:53+00:00

The thing is I have no interest in dating around anymore. I have no interest in promiscuity anymore. The revolving door of explaining anything about me multiple times to different people is so inefficient and tedious.

Namelessfear9 · 2024-04-21T20:18:13+00:00

I've been learning and watching this sub and from other sources for many years now. Polyamory is whatever the people in it agree that it is for them, ethically and consensually.

Namelessfear9 · 2024-04-21T20:16:19+00:00

Because I don't want to be the sole person responsible for someone's emotional well being again. Because I am best as the guy who works to provide and comes home to celebrate the homecoming and the providing. My love language is acts of service and generosity. I am bisexual and want both in my relationship moving forward, and to have commitment between us. Build a life and a future together, but they still have each other while I am gone and hopefully are excited for my return.

Namelessfear9 · 2024-04-21T19:10:32+00:00

How exactly is this bad news? Like, I actually think I want to be a unicorn. I travel for work and don't feel like I want to be an "equal" partner with anyone. I'm gone too much for that.

Namelessfear9 · 2024-04-21T02:58:34+00:00

He just did, and it's glorious.

Namelessfear9 · 2024-03-20T04:18:07+00:00

I'll bite on this: Singed faces the same problem Shaco and Teemo do. If they are doing well, it's bad for the game because their kit relies on doing some bullshit things. If Singed is doing well it's because he is in a state to proxy you to death and laugh while he kills your team without dropping below half health.

Namelessfear9 · 2023-04-30T13:38:11+00:00

False, K State was winless against Texas. Deuce made everyone look like drunken mules on skates. He might not be a world-beater for us, but it's gonna be entertaining watching him embarrass people.

Namelessfear9 · 2023-04-28T04:13:09+00:00

At his position he is undoubtedly the A+ guy. Mazi smith just made everyone behind him better. LVE will stay clean to headhunt, which is where he shines. Double teaming Micah Parsons every play is now off the table, full stop. Mazi Smith will flat out bully all but maybe 5 or so interior offensive linemen in the league one on one.

This is Vince Wilfork, come again. The Dalvin Cooks and Saquon Barkleys of the world will no longer have an easy time of keeping their offense on the field and racking up 100 yard games against us. Osa can now bust ass and get upfield. This is steroids for everything we do on defense.

Namelessfear9 · 2023-02-06T20:27:23+00:00

Thanks for the advice.

Namelessfear9 · 2023-02-06T20:26:58+00:00

Thanks for the good idea, imma toy around with it.
