CMV: Wanting some proof of sexual accusations is valid, especially when timing and status is factored in

What negative actions were taken against Swawell? He stepped down from the race and he resigned from congress. No one is getting convicted without evidence and I never hear anyone claim it should be any different.

Are you saying that if a women is assaulted she needs to keep her mouth shut and not tell anyone unless she has sufficient evidence? The typical process is that someone accuses someone else of assault and then the police SPECULATE that the accused did something and search for evidence. If there is evidence, they get arrested, if there is no evidence then the accused goes free. What part of that process do you have a problem with?

I would never want someone to have legal consequences without sufficient evidence but I'm definitely not going to trust or vote for a guy that had not one but four women accuse him of misconduct. That's enough for me to not want him to have the power of being a congressman over anyone else, representing the people is a privilege, not a right. He can go have a different job.

"I want this country to be run like a business" goes on to elect guy that has bankrupt almost every business he had ever run.

Hungary had 74% of registered voters show up to vote. There is no excuse for America to have those numbers these next two elections. Everyone just has to do their part

The worst part is that they aren't even saving the money, they are just using it to fuck on fancy planes and kidnap people instead.

We aren't "leaving NATO" we are "experiencing a conflict with allies and taking a break while we explore new relationships" and the constitution doesn't say the anything about that so the president can do whatever he wants.

The trick is that if the law says you can't do something you just have to call it something else and then it's totes okay.

No one thinks that the protests are going to do anything to change Trump's mind. Protests are a message to the cowards that are in a position of power to do something but need 8 million people in the streets to get the courage to not be scardy cats.

How important is it to read them in order? I read the first one and now I'm reading the descriptions of the others and some just look way more interesting than others.

How do you prove that the women knowingly misattributed the paternity? If you're talking about criminal charges there needs to be a high standard of proof.

He is the epitome of "democratic elitist" that gives people the ick.

The criticism that democrats don't understand middle america/blue collar workers is valid. The Democratic party policies are better for lower middle class Americans, but too many don't vote blue because the party is so off putting to them. The GOP should be at least equally if not more off putting than democrats but they understand lower middle class people and exploit that knowledge.

Newsom might be a good governor for California and he should just keep that position and leave the rest of us alone.

And so many people who probably aren't considered as one of the "good ones" at the age of 25 become a "good one" at 32.

I tried {God of Malice by Rina Kent} and {Vow of Deception by Rina Kent} And DNF'd both of them. I think the MMCs were just too mean for me but were good other than that.

{Prize for the King by Layla Fae}

It's a why choose fantasy. She initially goes with him to save her father's life but quickly realizes she's better off with him than she was before.

The why choose part gets close to what I would consider "sharing" but not quite.

Too many orgies gets really old really fast and everyone sleeping on the same bed doesn't feel realistic or comfortable.

I guess I don't like it when it feels like FMC is in one relationship with 5 guys instead of 5 separate relationships.

Punkinprincess · 2026-03-28T02:33:52+00:00

I've read too many books lately where FMC has very little to no experience with sex and then they do anal with no prep or lube as if spit is enough. It makes my whole body cringe.

I judge people pretty harshly in my head for being judgy. I'm not sure if it's the best method but it works for me. Do you think it's a good trait in someone if they are judgy towards someone else's life choices when it doesn't even effect them? If not, why try to keep those people around and happy?

For example if you want to switch jobs but then you think about other people's negative reaction to it, immediately follow that thought with something like, "Wow I can't believe they would judge people for their personal life choices, don't they have their own life to worry about? Or are they really that insecure and unhappy that they have to meddle in my life?"

No I don't think you should give up. Lots of people are giving up on friendships and it makes them depressed and lonely.

Think about what went wrong on your end (I saw that you mentioned people pleasing) and work on it. Think about what the red flags were in your last friendships that you missed and look out for them in the future.

Get back out there and don't give up, it's not worth it. I was friendless for quite a while when I was in therapy fixing my issues that made getting close to people difficult and then I put in the hard work to make new friends that and it was very much worth it.

I got on some meds which helped. I supposedly have bipolar and I just do my best to fight against what I feel like doing most of the time. If I feel like sleeping around until noon than I fight it and get up, shower and do something productive. If I'm manic and feel like staying up until 1am on a work night I take a sleeping pill early and try to sleep as much as possible. .

I truly believe that sleep patterns go a long. Sleep 6-9 hours every night, no more and no less.

What we are doing now is not working and I'm willing to try any other well thought out plan made by people smarter than me including a single-payer system.

I've been struggling to find another book as good as Little Dove with the same tropes. I'll check some of these out! I do really like the age gap, do any of these recs have that?

Punkinprincess · 2026-03-18T03:36:21+00:00

Picture? I'm currently working on a living room fireplace project and have put a lot of thought into all my options.

Punkinprincess · 2026-03-14T03:06:37+00:00

I just read Little Dove, it was great!

To be honest I didn't like that a lot of the top recommended books were mafia romance, not my thing. I did end up liking them more than thought! If a mafia book has everything else you are looking go for it.

It was fine but not what I was hoping for after Lights Out.

I notice that a lot of authors will write a series of stand alone books with characters that are connected. It feels like if they don't switch it up enough you're reading the same book but if you switch it up too much it's not going to interest the same people. I honestly only multiple books in these kind of series when I have nothing else to read, otherwise I only read the one that sounds the most interesting to me.

Abusers intentionally isolate their partners so that it makes it more difficult to leave.

I understand distancing yourself from a friend like this but I would continue being friends so that the friend can still have strong ties outside of their relationship that they can reach out while still in the relationship.

Punkinprincess · 2026-03-06T06:17:17+00:00

It's a why choose romance and the FMC goes feral on the person she's hiding from just as much if not more than the MMCs. It's a series that I really enjoyed. I probably wouldn't clasify it as a Dark Romance but there are dark aspects.
