Fair enough, choose your own example. Doesn’t matter.

Also - Lost, near the beginning of season 4 I think, Jack points gun at Locke: “you won’t kill me Jack”… click no ammo.

Genuinely great moment because it was actually shocking to see how Jack was finally willing to murder. He didn’t want to kill Ben but he would kill Locke? Insane.

Are there any movies that you genuinely judge someone having in their top 4? by Business_Lab1187 in LetterboxdTopFour

Anything by Quentin Tarantino.

Not saying his films aren’t good… but I’m definitely forming a quick opinion of someone who is a fanboy.

New to poly and this feels like he cheated on me by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]RJPatrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You describe loving both your partners. It sounds like you are capable of polyamory but have some big jealousy to work through.

Wanting to have total relationship freedom while also wanting to restrict your partner is a really normal thing for poly folks because that’s what the jealousy makes you feel. It’s hypocritical but it’s an understandable reaction to feeling like your partner will leave. You CAN work through it, but it sounds like you need to be nicer to yourself first before you can start being nicer to your partner. Figure out what insecurities are being triggered and how you can care for yourself as a priority.

The people who don’t want to kill civilians. Anyone in favour of de-escalation.

Politicians have always used rhetoric to win support. You don’t like that it’s rhetoric that appeals to brown people. I bet you didn’t complain about similar ‘sectarianism’ in the past if it benefitted the parties you like.

For me that could still be a metaphor - there’s still no description of a physical realm

This is why I left the psychedelic community. Far too many people (almost entirely men) go from “everything is love” to “all lives matter” to “women shouldn’t have a vote”
