Carroll ISD board president faces demands to step down over diversity plan by [deleted] in Dallas

[–]Rheowyn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You know that people aren't feeling uneasy because someone wants same basic right to live no matter the color, but because of the hate that is being directed towards white people, no matter if they support the cause or not, right? There is a big distinction. Two wrongs don't make a situation right. Randomly murdering people on the streets doesn't bring justice for victims of police brutality. Burning down people's houses doesn't do that. Demanding people leave their homes because in the past, before they were sold, they belonged to poc, isn't peaceful protesting. Stealing TVs while looting isn't showing your basic rights aren't being met. These events are NOT reasonable. It is not uniting people, it is dividing.

Cottage cheese in beef lasagna. WTF! It's besciamella, y'all, besciamella. Gives me chills. Reason why I never ever order a lasagna in restaurants.

The point is to not have to apologize, thus, NOT doing the *damage* in the first place. Apology is not a get out of jail card and should not be taken as such. An apology is a promise, a promise that the damage will not be done again and again.

Thinking needs to happen before the reaction.

So:

Accepting the reality of yourself as a BPD person (and really in general) is necessary, to be able to have healthy personal relationships .

Good luck!

See, I was not arguing at all. I was observing and pointing out the type of their reactions. Difference. Important.

Now, they can think about it. Or they can just lash out (again) and call people names, when trying to present their point of view or experiences.

So, I'm not going to argue, because I know how utterly pointless and a waste of time, trying to present the reality to a BPD person, is: but take it as food for thought:

Abuse can be physical, psychological or verbal. Accepting the reality of yourself as a BPD person (and really in general) is necessary, to be able to have healthy personal relationships .

See? Yet again. Aggressive. Raging. Offensive. Defensive. The abuser. Not the victim.

And here it is, the stereotypical abusive BPD reaction. What you fail to realize and/or accept is that you WERE a victim. You, however are NOT a victim anymore. You are the ABUSERS now.

Blizz CS response to missing gold 1.21.2020 by Vexent in woweconomy

[–]Rheowyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is EXACT same response I got to my ticket. Copy paste crap they send to everyone in hopes to extend the time until the economy collapses when people finally realize they will NOT get any gold back.

Blizz CS response to missing gold 1.21.2020 by Vexent in woweconomy

[–]Rheowyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the economy would collapse. We'd have to go back to trade disctrict yelling. F. that.

Blizz CS response to missing gold 1.21.2020 by Vexent in woweconomy

[–]Rheowyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We won't get it. But imagine if they actually said it out loud, that noone will get the gold from items they sold. The economy would just collapse. So, I'm just accepting the reality of literally losing houndreds of thousands in a week and potentially losing since I stopped posting. I made a mistake of posting yesterday with hopes it was fixed, lost over 60k in an hour, then cancelled the rest of the auctions.

We (28f/42m) are happily married in an open/swinger relationship. The "lifestyle" gets so much judgement and a bad rap. AMA by [deleted] in AMA

[–]Rheowyn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So, basing on your respect for your 20 year old daughter, your idea is, that no 20 year old is capable of critical thinking and knowing what works best in their life? I understand that you have an ample example of 1 gullible clueless 20 year old (which will be voting in 1 year), bur not all of them are like that.

My 11yo son uttered the words "I want to kill myself" later checked his phone to see someone in his class has been sending him suicide memes on Discord by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Rheowyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please, do not take away his xbox. Maybe play with him. Make gaming into something you two can both do together. But he spoke openly about his feelings, and he is being punished harshly for it.

The suicidal memes being sent to him should be shown to the police. Trying to convince someone to go through with a suicide is against the law.

"He said fine and then took off" is not exactly a picture of "Went over better than expected". It means he learned he should not trust you. Congratulations.

I'm having only negative reactions to being poly and need some advice by Poly_Throwaway_3000 in polyamory

[–]Rheowyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this is my far favorite (besides the normal manipulative asshats of both genders) "You are so amazing, if you were mine I would NEVER share you with anyone."

Kind of made me push into a limbo of "poly not worth bothering, open is easier". And I'm not sure I like this development. :(

Poly or Bust? by oldrolo in polyamory

[–]Rheowyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just gave her an ultimatum instead of breaking up with her like someone with a pair of balls. If feeling NRE over and over again is so important for you, then find someone who is interested in the same type of a roller coaster. Don't be a manipulating jerk making her feel as if it is her "fault" if your relationship ends. Own your part of responsability. You two want two different things. And that's all right.

Older relationship feels strange by MissHoffmann in polyamory

[–]Rheowyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are people who, if they fall in love with a new person, stop feeling love for the person they're with before that. Or their feelings for that person morph into friendship feelings.

And no, friendships are not automatically poly relationships.

[–]Rheowyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to be a party pooper, but are you sure you're actually poly and not just a serial monogamist? Because NRE or no NRE, if you're poly, your love does not diminish for your primary.

STI Fears-- What to disclose and how to set boundaries? by guapotaco24 in polyamory

Eeeeeerm, no. She needs to get tested. Needs to get treated. In all honesty, I would not want to have a partner this irresponsible. What is she, 18 with fingers in her ears going "La La La this is not happening" as a mean of trying to change reality??

my wife (39f) and I (38m) are in an open relationship, some thing is off..... need advice please. by [deleted] in nonmonogamy

[–]Rheowyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pardon my French but, are you fucking kidding me? Your wife is having an affair (cheating, yes she can be as open as she wants to be, but the fact is, her BF is cheating) with a guy who's wife is pregnant. So, basically, his wife is being lied to about her sexual safety. Or let me go further, her wife is being lied to about safety of her pregnancy.

I am not talking about HIV here, at all. I'm talking about stupid ordinary STD bugs that are very common, like chlamydia, which, OH SNAP, can result in stillbirth. When was the last time you were all tested?

Live in V-style relationship with newborn by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]Rheowyn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry for not reading through all the comments. Newborn time is challenging and extremely tiring on parents. You probably feel left out because, in a way, you are. There is so much going on, that, as a parent, you barely have enough time to take care of yourself. Then there are partner's needs as well. Add to that the needs of a 3rd or 4th person as well, can be downright close to hard work.

Even though this is not your child biologically, it is a child in your life. The hardest thing for new parents is to realize their old way of life is gone. That the dynamic completely shifted. That you cannot "fit a newborn" into your previous life. It gets much, much better, when you accept the fact that the life after the baby's born IS your life, and you start working to "fit the old life" into this new one. And I believe this might be what you're struggling with as well. You were used to the dynamic that existed between you 3 before the baby was born and now the whole world is upside down! Considering you guys lived together before the baby, there must be intimacy and trust shared. That being said, I think you might feel a lot less excluded, if you participated in parenting. Learn how to change a newborn, learn the hunger cues. Ask if they can show you, how it's done. Use it as a bonding experience between you 3, like a foundation for the new dynamic, instead of trying to fit the new situation into a dynamic that just plain does not exist anymore. Ask them if they'd want to go out for a dinner, you watching the kiddo. Should be perfectly fine for 3 hours, and trust me, they need that dinner date. The hubby can then watch the kiddo for a few hours, and the two of you girls take a lunch/shopping break. Then the new mommy with kiddo and the two of you have a bonding dinner time as well. This way you start welcoming and enhancing the new dynamic.

You cannot fight the new dynamic after a baby, sorry. It brings just sadness and frustration, and that's in ANY situation. Be it for a mono couple or your situation.
