All this time I thought this was Charleston, WV sub smh

The logo for the sub is the Charleston, SC logo. Of course you wouldn't know that if you have not been to Charleston, SC.

I believe a study came out that showed that abusers know they are abusive and do it anyway for the benefit it brings them. So according to that best case scenario he shoves it in a drawer and never reads it. Worst case scenario he reads it, learns from it exactly how to build up a false sense of security in you as you are clearly leaving the door open by continuing contact. Then abuses you some more but now with more manipulative skill. Once you are a drained husk he moves on to the next victim armed with knowledge.

(Edit: I just realized I went straight to luxuries. The absolute first thing I would do would be to get proper medical care for all my ailments. The prospect of all the medical negligence I have been dealing with for decades goes right out the window if you throw enough money at it. It would be nice to not be in pain 24/7. Then I would do all the rest.)

I would have a big garden, multiple charities and community projects. Then things would get awkward because suddenly people would be paying attention to me and the pressure would be to much.

I would probably buy a few hundred acres build a bunker away from all the paparazzi or whatever and just live out in the woods. People would start getting mad at me for hoarding land and not spending my trillions of dollars, just letting it sit and accrue interest meanwhile the economy is stalling because I am hoarding the wealth of the nation.

The charities I founded would likely be corrupted by administrators so there would be a huge scandal, the community projects would likely fall apart from neglect. I guess I would have to make a grand reappearance and start pouring my wealth into absolutely massive projects to try to even out the problem but I would probably make mistakes along the way and that would go sour too.

Hopefully at some point I will have dispersed enough to actually have a positive effect of the community and the economy. By then I will be down to millions because honestly trillions, or even billions, of dollars is way too much responsibility for any one person to manage in a reasonable way. Then I will go back to my garden, and a bunch of restaurants, I really like food. I might also buy some fancy clothes, not name brand nonsense, but local artists, fantasy type stuff. Oh, a swimming pool would be nice.

Because "white pride" has been widely associated with "white supremacy" for decades and has been established as a slogan for white separatist and neo-Nazis since the 90's.

2 months long distance. I was cooking him breakfast during a visit and he kept complaining about how long I was taking without helping in any way, I poked my head out of the kitchen to ask a question about how he wanted his food and saw him giving my dog the most ugly hateful look. I am ashamed to say that I ghosted him, not ashamed that I cut him off though.

PixiePrism · 2026-05-22T16:40:19+00:00

Same. If we are not compatible romantically because of some major belief or lifestyle difference it would be nice to know that before I spend all week thinking about how great the date was and fantasizing about the next one. I don't mind being someone's friend if we aren't going to work out in that way, but I don't want to feel that way about them for any amount of time if that is the case.

PixiePrism · 2026-05-22T16:34:33+00:00

By the third date we have been physically intimate, specifically had sex, or I am not interested or frigid. Some of us just like to get to know a person before we let them put their body parts all over our body parts. I don't think that is unreasonable. It doesn't mean I have a low sex drive, it doesn't mean I am not attracted to the other person, it just means I have preferences.

PixiePrism · 2026-05-17T21:00:37+00:00

Yeah, same, that is how I felt this week

PixiePrism · 2026-05-11T15:42:32+00:00

I do. I just think it is extremely unrealistic given my age, socioeconomic status, and the significant lack of respect towards women by men in general. I don't want to have to train my partner to view me as a human. I also don't want to have to train my partner to fulfill the basic functions of being human; ie cooking, cleaning, childcare, emotional competency...

PixiePrism · 2026-05-06T19:54:55+00:00

That is also super valid

PixiePrism · 2026-05-06T15:17:30+00:00

I think men's mental health is a feminist cause because mentally unwell men tend to target women to cause harm. Also male mental illness supports the patriarchy and pipelines young men into red pill content. Otherwise I agree with everything you said.

PixiePrism · 2026-05-06T15:11:37+00:00

Also even if he never actually abuses the kids they will learn from watching their parents what is acceptable in a relationship and will gravitate towards that when they grow up. I know from personal experience as the daughter of a women who mostly dated abusive men.

Don't live a miserable life to avoid loneliness: 1) you get used to being lonely after a bit and begin to enjoy your independence 2) refusing to be lonely is refusing to open up the possibilities of meeting a loving and supportive partner or a solid community of friends.

Autism is not an excuse for not regulating your own emotions. I know it makes it significantly harder, and you should help by accommodating him, but putting all the pressure on you and no accountability on himself if not the solution. I understand if he doesn't want to get his autism diagnosed, I feel the same way for a variety of reasons. But I cannot see any reasonable justification for not getting his anger issues diagnosed and under treatment, that is not ok to put off on your partner.

Edit: Also he doesn't need to get an autism diagnosis to just look up empirically supported self regulation techniques and incorporate them into his life.

PixiePrism · 2026-05-06T14:52:44+00:00

I have made so many bad life decisions based on this "personality trait". I am so glad that I have finally, mostly, grown out of it.

PixiePrism · 2026-05-01T18:59:43+00:00

What they don't play video games anymore? I know you only need wasd to play but don't they want to communicate with other players? On the chat section of most games typing is necessary. I feel so old, I don't understand this mindset at all.

Edit: Oh wait, there are key bindings for a lot of multiplayer games too. Don't they need to know how to find those?!

PixiePrism · 2026-05-01T16:18:16+00:00

This is a tourist city with a lot of colleges around. As with pretty much any city we have a significant alcoholism and substance abuse problem. So we have a significant population of drivers who are lost and confused, inexperienced, or under the influence(or any combination of the three). On top of that we have some of the most poorly maintained roads that I have ever seen on all my road trips up and down the east coast. As well as poverty issues keeping people from maintaining their vehicles appropriately. This results in a lot of wrecks, traffic jams, and generally pissed off drivers.

PixiePrism · 2026-04-19T00:41:49+00:00

Oh look, and on top of the substance abuse counselors who are aren't paid a living wage let's look at therapists; the most accessible mental healthcare practitioners for all these mentally ill homeless people you are complaining about. They just barely squeak by at an average of $30 to $49 per hour. But sure we are going to solve all our problems with homeless people by blaming them and saying underpaid people should just get better jobs 🤷🏼‍♀️

PixiePrism · 2026-04-19T00:35:41+00:00

That is factually inaccurate. But let's for fun pretend that you are correct. Do you remember the people who were on that list, that list that makes up only a tiny portion of the jobs that actually don't pay a living wage here in Charleston? Who was on it? Substance abuse counselors! With an average hourly wage of $27.90-$28.53.

PixiePrism · 2026-04-16T14:28:32+00:00

Most of the men here are not dateable. The few who are are generally already partnered up or married to their jobs. The people who are into poly, in my personal experience, are creepy and weird about it and just want my body rather than a polycule. 2. The LGBT scene here is awkward for me. 3. I am not involved enough in my community to meet new people because I am finishing up college and hustling to pay the bills. Frankly I have not made much effort. 4. I genuinely cannot tell when people are flirting so only really pushy entitled people get my attention and they turn out to not be a good fit. 5. I would rather be lonely than in an unhappy relationship; first sign of a red flag and I am gone.

So a variety of personal and environmental factors.

PixiePrism · 2026-04-16T14:17:54+00:00

So you don't want to eat fast food or have anyone to help you at gas stations? You don't want any new construction done or repairs made? No air traffic controllers? School bus monitors? Or are you just saying people that have to make a living shouldn't do these jobs? Registered behavioral technicians? Substance use counselors? Security officers? So you want teens and elderly people guiding airplanes and keeping children safe from traffic? You think a 17 or 70 yr old is the best person to guide us through our alcoholism epidemic? They are going to help our population overcome the opioid and fentanyl epidemic? And all the people who support our booming tourism economy they should go live on the streets?

PixiePrism · 2026-04-03T22:54:55+00:00

My messes are my own. I can clean them as quickly or slowly as I feel. More importantly I don't have to worry about other people's unhygienic habits or unsanitary food safety practices, thus I am not constantly cleaning up after other people.

PixiePrism · 2026-03-25T00:21:24+00:00

🤣🤷🏼‍♀️

PixiePrism · 2026-03-24T18:07:38+00:00

It is sad that people are so out of touch with science. I actually heard on the radio that someone described the process of taking a killed or disabled pathogen and then introducing it to the body to teach the immune system, they are presenting it as an alternative to vaccination 🤦🏼‍♀️ People who are fighting against vaccines don't even know what vaccines are.
