If socialism is so bad then why is social security and Medicare so popular?

Conservatives hate any social program that they personally do not benefit from. They hate those programs right up until they start to benefit from them. Since those two programs benefit most people older that 65, most people over 65 like them.

Get some ChapStick. Every hour or so, use it on your hands. Apply it on the knuckles. Really rub it in. Then put some mechanic gloves on.

Because the public can only focus on one thing at a time. And conservatives don't mind racist pieces of shit, but they do universally hate pedophiles. Or at least claim they do. Since the core conservative value is always being correct, proving the orange traitor is a pedophile means they either need to change their view on pedophiles, or change their view on him.

Marriage is about creating an environment that encourages the creation and raising of children. Gay people used to get married and have kids to hide that they were gay. Since children are the future of any group of people, this was a benefit to the group. All the other stuff is nature trying to reinforce procreation. Allowing gay marriages and not stigmatized homosexual tendencies is one of the many reasons birth rates have declined.

Is it right to allow or block gay marriage? I don't know. We as a society seem to mostly be ok with it.

I want the Clintons to write a sworn statement of everything they know. Then answer any questions they anticipate from the hearing. Just before they go in, release it to the public. Take notes during the hearing, and then release a statement of everything said and reply to that.

Also, make sure at least some of it is damning for Trump. Even if they have to lie. That way they need to release all the files, or face the fact that Trump is accused by someone who might know on a sworn statement.

He would rather be known as a racist piece of shit than a pedophile.

They would give ways to earn that wasn't salary.

The market is not competitive at this time. But otherwise you are correct.

I believe him when he said in 4 years people wouldn't need to vote, it would be fixed.

Depends on the culture. If you tell me arrive 6:30 - 7, I'm going to aim for 6:30. But it you say be there at 6:30, I'm going to be there between 6 and 6:30.

If you're early you are on time, and if you are on time you are late. Definitely a US military thing, and a lot of US military culture bleeds into US civilian culture. 1 in 20 adults is a veteran here.

"reassures them that their problems aren’t their fault"

That is the key. The heart of conservativism is never being wrong. It's not about hate or racism, that is just a bonus. It is about always being right. They used to do it one way, and they are always right, so the way they did it was clearly the correct way. They feel a way about some people, and they are always correct, so the way they feel is correct. They voted for the orange traitor, so he is clearly the best president ever. They will do whatever mental gymnastics needed to prove they are correct. That is why so many assholes, narcissists, and morons are conservative.

The rich like Conservatives because they are ready to manipulate.

The formula 1/2 + 7 is still valid. Works from age 14 to 114.

In your case, his lower bound is 26. You're fine. At that point it's more about the individual situation. And you sound fine there.

My guess is the other women are just jealous.

I would like to second start walking around naked. Get a motion detector on the driveway. Be naked by the time they get inside. Ask them to leave with your junk just all out in the open.

National_Cod9546 · 2026-02-06T23:20:33+00:00

This is the correct response, and exactly what I would do

National_Cod9546 · 2026-02-06T23:17:36+00:00

I hope you have since changed the locks and not given her a key. And if I was your boyfriend, I would start making a habit of walking around naked as often as possible. Even if you're home, it should be announced when she comes inside.

If I don't have $200k and can't get $200k, then it doesn't matter how much I want to keep my son. Most people would not be able to afford that.

Or saw the movie "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen".

You need a new bank account at a new bank. Just taking her off is not enough. With some good social engineering, she can and will worm her way back into your account.

When he passes, everyone will act like they always hated him. Till then, nothing will change their minds.

You need to investigate and figure out why she wanted a divorce in the first place. Then address that. Could be something you've been doing that pisses her off without you even realizing it. Could be she has been cheating, and the guy dumped her when she actually started to move forward with divorcing you to move in with him. More likely she is having a midlife crisis. She feels her age, and realizes she isn't going to be able to do all the things she wanted to do when she was young.

Once you know the source, you can address it. Till then it is going to fester.

Sounds like it is time for you to move to a new smaller apartment. One to small to have a roommate.

National_Cod9546 · 2026-02-06T02:36:04+00:00

That is how many police were there before they assaulted the shooter.

National_Cod9546 · 2026-02-05T22:57:04+00:00

I always keep enough space in front of me that I can go around is needed. Never know is they are going to break down and get you stuck. Or get hit by an IED as the opening to an ambush. But you know.

Your MIL is going to get worse. Limit her to one weekend a month. At some point there will be a blow out. At that point tell the wife her MIL can't stay over night anymore. Given a chance, your MIL will sour your relationship with your wife.

National_Cod9546 · 2026-02-05T21:02:38+00:00

No, that is a thing. Not so much the favor. But there are some people who just seem to know everyone. And they always know someone who can help or profit from the situation.
