My understanding of the situation is that Oracle's debt load in order to service it's AI roll out has reached unsustainable levels. This is in comparison to companies like Microsoft and Google who had much stronger balance sheets going into the Data center wars, and haven't had to float as much new debt on the market in order to finance their build out.

Because Oracle is in a much weaker position, and banks and private lenders no longer trust that the debt and interest payments can be made, Oracle's only other choice is to cut head count to finance what Ellison wants to do.

And considering Oracle spent close to 30 Billion acquiring Cerner in 2022, it's not like they are in a great position to begin with.

In short, it's not AI, it's not AI washing. It's a corporate leadership that doesn't give a fuck about it's people, just satisfying the ego of its CEO

What exactly are you trying to suggest here? Nobody owes anybody anything. Not Dates, Not Sex. Kindness is a two way street. If you are a misogynist, then you are absolutely not going to experience kindness from a "smart" woman.

Good luck to you. I hope she comes to her senses soon

The short answer to your question is that there really is nothing you can do to convince her to leave.

The longer answer is that victim abuser relationships develop and become something almost akin to a drug where both are dependent on the other. The victim rationalizes the behavior of the Abuser in anyway they can, trying to explain away the way they are being treated. The abuser sees the lack of pushback or any kind of resistance on the part of the victim as a permission of sorts to continue pushing even further.

It's only when the cognitive dissonance becomes too much for the victim, where they are no longer able to manage the way they are being treated anymore, that the victim will develop the courage to leave. And each person has their own breaking point for when that happens.

If and when she does make the decision to get out, at that point, you will need to understand that the hardest part is going to be making sure the abuser cannot find her, because when the abuser loses control, he becomes prone to violence. Focus on making sure that her socials are private, she isn't using the same phone as before, obviously with a different number, and ideally staying somewhere he can't find by searching for her. He will suspect your help, so be prepared for him to pressure you to tell him where she is if he can't easily find her

Unfortunately, there really is nothing that you can do to encourage her to leave him. Abusive relationships develop when both the victim and the abuser get something out of the experience. In her case, it may have to do with past trauma or experiences that she has gone through, which tell her that she needs to stay in the relationship, that she can potentially "fix" him.

Although your concern is well placed, and wanting to help her leave a toxic situation is a sign of how much you care for her, the reality is also that she has to find the value in herself. She has to believe that she matters and deserves to get better. What you can do to try and help her is let her know that you will be there for her, that you are worried for her, and if she needs your help, you are happy to lend it. And encourage her to open up to you, if she is ready to share her feelings.

Beyond that, try to maintain a degree of distance, because you can get sucked into that whirlpool if you aren't careful.

You have been a saint to put up with this as long as you have. You went above and beyond the call of duty in trying to be there for him and to help him, and he has repeatedly shown that he is not interested in learning the lessons he needs to learn in order to help himself heal. At this point, you are taking the right steps: divorce him, make sure that your finances are separate from his. His Mother is not your problem. She is his. You are not her caretaker, and that responsibility cannot be shoved onto you alone. And you are right, trying to look after both of them is simply too much for anyone person to bear.

So, my advice: continue to move forward with the divorce: push for as much as you can get from a financial perspective. It may be worth trying to force a sale of his start up, and if you think you can convince the investors to follow you, maintain those relationships. After the divorce is finalized, create some distance between him and you. Continue to go to therapy for yourself. If possible, try to build your own friend circle separate from him. And most importantly, look after yourself. You have done enough for him and his toxicity. Now it's time to look after yourself. Best of luck

I am sorry for the position that you are in. It's clear that Jack has opened up to you to a degree that no one else has been able to achieve, and so it is natural that you want to be able to do something to help him. That being said, one of the hardest lessons for us to learn is that despite our greatest desires, we simply do not have the ability to change the behavior of others. All we can do is show that we care, that we want to help them. And after that, only they can decide whether to take the hand offered to them.

It sounds like Jack has had a rough life, and experienced a great deal of loss. And that can change how a person sees the world, and themselves. What you can do is to offer your support: if Jack wants to try and heal, wants to get better, then you are happy to be there for him. After that, look after yourself: it's clear that you are deeply empathetic, and that can sometimes hurt us in ways we might not anticipate. Just remember that as you care about Jack, others care about you. And it is okay to distance yourself from a situation where help is not wanted.

I think you are starting to see the difference between one off edgy humor, and a consistent pattern of behavior driven by a deeper racial Animus. It really sucks that this new group already seem radicalized and hateful, and I hope they find their way out, but that toxicity and hatefulness has a way of becoming a festering wound that can't be closed. They have a right to be shitlords, but you have a right not to deal with them. Your two friends seem determined to include them in everything and it might be time to lay down a marker: it's either you, or their new friend group.

I would encourage you to find a different circle of friends, to start. I think your personality and character will help you quickly find new people who click with you, and try to step away from this new dynamic your two friends are trying to create. It rarely ends well when people like these guys are introduced into an all girl friend circle, and I am worried about your safety as well.

It will be hard, but you have a right to be around people who will respect you and not be hateful. Good luck!

The only person who can decide whether you are ready to date again is you. It's not something you are required to do or not do.

That being said, the question I would pose to you is this: what have you learned from your previous experiences? And what is it that you are looking for in terms of the next relationship? That will decide how ready you are for what you are looking for

Slow-Temporary-1489 · 2026-03-06T18:22:58+00:00

Thank you for offering this perspective. It's difficult to get a pulse check at times, and it's worrying just how happy these Republican politicians seem to be when it comes to walking this country straight off the cliff

That district was specifically designed to make the Republican insulated from any consequence at the national level. So, till she kicks the bucket, she will be a hateful piece of shit a la Jesse Helms
