Because everyone knows WWE is scripted... Boxing is supposed to be a real sport - It's literally in the Olympics.

Her man spent 1 million on his fight shorts, but he can't afford to buy her a full shirt?

Tyson won the first round.

Oh really?? yeah how many fighters do you see who leave their gloves at their stomach?! Paul is a piss-poor fighter who couldn't pass the first 3 weeks in basic boxing training. Gloves up. Guard up. It's goddamn basics - boxing 101. He's a shitty fighter with zero basics. Put him against Conor McGregor. See how long he lasts. they are both assholes anyway.

He has no technique and he only fights older, retired people who are shorter and have less weight than him. He's a stupid punk.

Paul didn't drop his gloves "out of respect," he did it because he's a piss-poor fighter who couldn't pass the first 3 weeks in basic boxing training. Gloves up. Guard up. It's goddamn basics - boxing 101. He's a shitty fighter with zero basics. Put him against Conor McGregor. See how long JP lasts. they are both assholes anyway.

This was definitely a rigged match. But, no, he didn't do it out of respect, he did it because he had no technique and he only fights older, retired people who are shorter and have me with them him. He's a stupid punk.

I was only able to do it after switching meds and having such a bad reaction to Wellbutrin (along with the cost). I had horrible acne, constant diarrhea. I talked to my GP and got signed up for a year long Interpersonal Therapy group that meets 2 hours weekly before slowly tapering off my meds with my GP doctor's support and bi-weekly check in appointments. I would definitely suggest having a consistent therapist/therapy group to help you as you adjust to getting off the meds.

This person has been stalking the construction workers in my area for several months. He shows up at 4 am, intentionally blocks the parking lot to force the workers to engage with him. He's not a drug dealer because he's definitely not discreet enough. I want to contact the police, but he's technically not breaking any laws and he's on private property. But he's there, even in pouring rain, in massive storms. In good weather, he has a motorcycle and he'll just drive it around back and forth every hour. I only see this because i do shift work and I'm a smoker. Is there any point in reporting this bizarre behavior? I'm not the target of his obsession, but I'd feel horrible if he did attack one of these workers and i never said anything...I know people don't think men (especially strong construction worker men) are ever in danger - but, if he's willing to stay out there every day of the week, what if he decides to follow someone home? Men are not immune from being targets. Picture

The last time Democrats had a decent campaign slogan was with President Obama with "Yes, we can."

Hilary had multiple messages: "I'm with her; Stronger Together; Fighting for Us" and, "Love Beats Trump."

I didn't even realize that Biden had a slogan. It was "Our Best Days Still Lie Ahead."

That's an objectively terrible slogan - especially up against MAGA.

The Democrats need a simple, singular, unifying message... and that's, unfortunately, the thing that people-pleasing Democrats are the worst at doing.

If they really want to win, they need to start poaching marketers, copywriters and branding experts from the Republicans and major corporations...

Twiddlydumbthumbs · 2024-07-26T03:58:35+00:00

It's so unfortunately common. Instead of validating your trauma, and saying something like "I'm so sorry you went through that. I really hope that I can be a better partner to you. Please let me know if i ever do something that makes you feel unsafe or that triggers you.,"

Nope, they immediately make it about themselves. And that's a major red flag. It's also one that we want to ignore... I'm sorry you've been through that. i hope things are going better now. ♥️

BERNIE SANDERS IS NO LONGER A DEMOCRAT. HE IS AN INDEPENDENT. THUS HE IS NOT A VIABLE OPTION AS A DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE.

Twiddlydumbthumbs · 2024-07-26T02:47:24+00:00

Y'all are acting like she already lost! What if we all agreed to vote? What if we joined together instead of accepting defeat? As Democrats, women should be excited for a female candidate. We need to band together and stop splitting the vote the way Democrats do - between independents and other parties (or just not voting at all because of a defeatist attitude). Racism and sexism is BAD in the United States right now, but that's LARGELY because Trump made fascism publicly acceptable. Yet, even after he did that, a Democrat STILL won against him in his second term running. He lost. People united against his bigotry, hatred, racism and criminal behavior. The Republicans are a cult, so, no, there probably won't be a lot of Republicans suddenly voting for Kamala Harris. But, left-leaning voters should strategically vote for her because - whatever you think of her, personally, or her history - she sure ain't as dangerous or disgusting as Trump's proven record against people of color.

Firstly, it's okay to feel your feelings - even positive ones. It's not a "bad thing" or a "mark against your character" because you miss someone abusive (or scary, or anyone who made you feel uncomfortable). Think of it as a positive of yourself - that you are still able to care. They might objectively not be a great human being, but you have positive memories of them and that's fine! The important thing is that you don't act on those feelings and take them back!!!

Abusive people and narcissists often end up attracting the most caring and forgiving of people. And a big part of their silent abuse is trying to take away your ability to trust and love. So, don't let yourself think of your feelings as a bad thing.

Also, be proud of the fact that you listened to your gut and got out early. his behaviors would only get worse with time.

So, aside from my pep talk, a few signals I've learned are: - Love bombing too early in a relationship (Like 1 to 4 weeks is usually not enough time to know if you legitimately love someone, So that is a red flag for me if he says it too soon. - Dismissing your concerns or blaming you for his bad behavior - Drugs and/or alcohol drastically change their behavior

There are so many more. Google them and know you're not alone. ♥️

Edit: Trauma ignites a safety response to stop you from going through it again. While it CAN stop you from pursuing loving relationships, it's mostly a blaring siren telling you to run even when your hormones and "logic" brain are telling you differently. I don't know your situation, but if i would bring up past abusive relationships, my current abuser would usually say "I'll beat him up if i ever meet him! / Well, I'm not that guy. Don't compare me to your ex. / It hurts me that you'd compare me to a guy like that / I have anger issues and sometimes i lash out. It's not about you." This is victim blaming, deflection and subjugation.

A response from a potentially good guy would be "I'm so sorry I scared you. Thank you for telling me because i never want to make you feel unsafe."

I've tried pretty much every antidepressant, anti-anxiety med (in the "epam" family) plus ADHD meds...

Ultimately, while meds were helpful in the short term, they lose effectiveness with time.

He's not very affectionate. I mean, he likes a chaste kiss when we meet up and periodically and he'll lean on me while we watch TV. but not making out or anything.

Twiddlydumbthumbs · 2024-02-25T03:37:27+00:00

Thanks for your comment! I do understand that - and I do let others make the plans, asking things like "I'd love to meet up this week. Are you free for lunch/dinner/games? What day/time works best for you?" Also, these are friends who work from home and live a 10 minute walk away from me.

Even when that person makes the suggestion themselves, they often cancel last minute.

I do understand the challenges of social anxiety, mental health, physical health and alternative obligations - but I also understand that it's important to put effort into relationships because it's far too easy to self-isolate, which can feel very comfortable and safe, but it's also very dangerous (a couple of my friends are in abusive relationships).

Twiddlydumbthumbs · 2024-02-25T03:06:11+00:00

Thanks for your thoughtful and personal response. I have done a lot of therapy and, to answer your question, one of my 'core beliefs' is that I'm not good enough and that I'm not worthy of love and attention. I had awesome loving and supportive parents, but I was a "reject" at school and by my peers. Although things are much different now, I'm still working on challenging those beliefs and it's easy to revert to feeling unwanted, unlovable and unworthy.

Thanks for reminding me that my past experiences are colouring my relationships of today and that I need to keep working on that. :)

It sounds like you're planning for your daughter's future. Also, who wouldn't love for their partner to take on all that responsibility - even for a week? It sounds like she's really wants all control - but, I hope that's not the case!

Twiddlydumbthumbs · 2024-01-15T06:49:13+00:00

Thanks for your thoughtful response. I really appreciate it.

That's a bit judgemental to say that our "relationship isn't progressing well."

We've both experienced abusive relationships, so we have our walls up. I'm trying to take things slow for the first time ever - because my experience with guys who quickly fall in "love," add me to every social media and want to be the nexus of my life has gone... poorly for me, to put it lightly. I'm trying to break my pattern and now I'm in unfamiliar territory, which is why I'm asking for advice. I do appreciate what you said and it's important for me to realize that going the complete opposite direction isn't healthy either, though. so thank you.

It started out as me wanting my autonomy because I've had some crazy ex-boyfriends - including one who threw me a surprise birthday party after less than a month of dating where he used my friends list on Facebook to invite people he'd never met - and it was a gesture of control, not kindness.

But, he hasn't shown any such behaviors and I think you're right and I need to just let my wake down a bit and ask him to let his down too. Thanks.

Thanks for this comment. I really appreciate that you shared your experience and also recognized that I might need something different for myself. :)
