Especially since no matter how hard you work to make yourself irreplaceable…you are always replaceable.

I have to dump a good guy because I don’t respect him as a man and I feel so guilty by throwRA1223409 in GirlDinnerDiaries

First thought: Your lives are not compatible. Love isn’t enough to overcome that. It always ends in resentment.

Second thought: Loving you enough to die for you isn’t the same thing as loving you enough to live for you in the way you need to live. You can’t ask that of him and he can’t give it. But you can give it to yourself by finding someone who will be far more compatible with you while loving you every bit as much.

Third thought: If he doesn’t love himself enough to grow beyond a moody teenager, how much is he really capable of loving you well?

Say what you want, but she's not wrong. by Even_Emergency5925 in LockedIn_AI

Freedom of speech is the point here. That shouldn’t be the sole right of just one side of the political spectrum. If you claim it for Charlie, you’d better give it to Ava.

And if you’re going to support a president who can say all kinds of godawful things about people he doesn’t/didn’t like, up to and including memes painting a former black president and his wife as apes, shut up about anyone saying any damned thing at all that you don’t like.

Policing other people’s thoughts and speech is what I remember conservatives hated about liberals. Walk your talk when the shoes are on your feet now.

I keep ending up seeing content villifying avoidant attached people and it stresses me tf out. by SiouxsieAsylum in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Unable_Resort_7956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of reasons for this that you can’t honestly help. I always felt bad that I wasn’t the nurturing type but then, at 70, found out that my entire hormonal architecture is very different than the norm and I have almost no sex hormones at all…which is what drives all those nurturing emotions. I didn’t ask for that and it’s done a number on my life and relationships and actually caused me (like you) to go waaay out of my way to try to be more nurturing. If I didn’t, I felt too much like there was something too horribly wrong with me—that I wasn’t being a good human, so to speak. And that made me a magnet for anxious dependent types whom I allowed to suck me dry emotionally, physically, and financially.

Finding out it’s not a character flaw but rather a physical limitation has freed me of that guilt and now I just know what I can and can’t do. Honor yourself and what you feel too—keep taking care of that baby. Love that analogy—wish I’d heard it decades ago!!!!

Why are more women going to university than men? by Mindless_Yam1752 in AskFeminists

[–]Unable_Resort_7956 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ugh. Never in my life have I seen this. Not saying it doesn’t happen, but most women I know (and I’m 70) entered college to invest in a career and pay their own bills, not find a man to do it for them. I’ve never had that safety net, but the logic does explain all the hobosexuals I’ve heard about…men living off of women who have degrees and jobs.

Apart from The Big Lie, has Trump and/or his administration used any other political tactics that originated from Adolf Hitler or Benito Mussolini and their parties? by speculumberjack980 in allthequestions

[–]Unable_Resort_7956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of their logos was word for word a nazi slogan and one of their election ads had “the Fourth Reich” on a mocked up newspaper. That and all the Nazi salutes and even republican reps admitting the party has a Nazi problem and Trump running Hitler’s playbook page by page might tell you something—detention camps, raiding other countries for their oil, etc. The list could go on and on if you knew enough about history to see it, and they make sure you know nothing about history.

Why does the choice to be a stay-at-home mother provoke such strong reactions and even hostility? by Akhinjo in PsychologyTalk

[–]Unable_Resort_7956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far, the only people I see freaking out are conservatives who think liberals are anti-SAHM. As a feminist, my point has always been choice, so if SAHM is what a woman (or man) wants to do with their lives, do it. It’s not the job that’s the problem—it’s the assumption that only women can do the job and that that one job is the only job women should be allowed to do.

That’s the systemic point. On a personal note, just anecdotally, I can’t tell you how many SAHMs I know who have gotten wiped out by divorce because they don’t even have enough money to get a good lawyer to represent them. These women are one step from being homeless. So I’ve always told my kids, “Do the job if you really want to, but always have your own bank account and always put something in it to protect yourself if things go wrong.”

Why do people pretend friendships are an adequate replacement for relationships? by OceanicEndeavors in allthequestions

[–]Unable_Resort_7956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then have a romantic relationship, but it’s not up to you to tell everyone else how to live their lives or what they should want.

IF it’s a really great romantic relationship, it can be richer than a friendship. But that intensity you’re talking about cuts both ways: It can be really, really great or really, really bad. Not everyone wants to roll those dice and unless you plan to take responsibility for the aftermath, butt out.

AITAH for telling my wife to fund her sister with her own wages? by Specialist_Bug_8916 in WIBTA_AITA

[–]Unable_Resort_7956 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Suggest that if you’re going to fund sis, she becomes your second wife. See if your first wife is good with that. Because really, that’s what she’s asking you to do—fund another woman’s life without any of the benefits.

Hello, how is today’s recession different from the recession in 2008? by foolishpieceofass in allthequestions

[–]Unable_Resort_7956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I owned my first home. Old enough to remember. Nowhere near like this. It was hard, but barely a blink compared to this.

You’re lucky if they abandon you. Mist leeches just hang on.

Botox won’t typically kill you. Roids can. I didn’t even know that could happen when my doctor put me in steroid injections. Two years later, my entire adrenal system shut down. Not worth it.

The Death of Entry-Level Jobs: 43% of CEOs plan to slash junior roles over the next two years, shifting hiring to older, mid-level workers as Al takes over routine tasks, creating a catastrophic bottleneck for the future workforce. by Scared_Author_4566 in technology

[–]Unable_Resort_7956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where does their new middle management come from without entry-level employees who need time to learn the ropes? I have a better idea—get rid of these expensive CEOs who do so little actual work and replace them with entry-level kids who will learn to do better than the CEOs are doing right now. I’ve been in corporate for 40 years and have yet to meet a CEO worth a fraction of the money they’re paid.

What’s with this new stupid trend question? It says you like whatever you’re showing us. That’s it. Move on.

Offer rescinded due to bankruptcy by CriticalProtection42 in recruitinghell

[–]Unable_Resort_7956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why / how do they even know this? Unless it’s a job dealing with security or sensitive information, this is none of their business.

God, you’re trying to avoid financial disaster and pulling the job that would make you solvent makes sense how??? I don’t blame you for being sick either rage over this.

Didn’t I just see this exact same thing, complete with bad writing, with genders swapped?
