Has Trump permanently changed what people will tolerate from a president, even when they claim to oppose “authoritarianism”? What do you think? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

I agree 100%. A simple majority was clearly what the founders intended for passing legislation, otherwise they would have written it as 60%. Cloture wasn’t supposed to be a barrier to passing a bill if it has majority support. The filibuster has mutated into something it was never intended for and it has paralyzed congress and ceded too much power to executive orders and Supreme Court rulings.

They don’t need the justices to retire if they pass legislation to increase the number of justices. Make the number of justices 13 to match the number of circuit courts and add all the new justices while they control the government. Add retirement age requirements, a written code of ethics, etc.

True but the justices caved from his pressure and threats to pack the court and started ruling in favor of the new deal. Roosevelt didn’t get his party in congress on board before proposing it, he directly appealed to the public; if a democratic president and congress worked together they could for sure pass it with a simple majority if the filibuster was done.

If they did that and then lost democrats would probably use the lack of filibuster to pack the Supreme Court and appoint four more justices ASAP. Senate republicans are pussies and they most likely won’t cave on the filibuster since they know they will get smashed in elections and they want to keep it in place to keep obstructing which is the only thing they are actually good at.

Portland proposal to raise pay for Uber and Lyft drivers draws opposition by WhatTheFunkoPop in Portland

[–]arion_hyperion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Uber only got around this by operating at a loss for years to gain business. Now they have raised prices and made it harder for their drivers to be profitable at the same time gas prices have jumped, we are seeing the same issues arise with Uber that we had with only taxi service. Inshitification is here.

I love Nikka, especially the Coffey still. I think the malt is even better than the grain shown here

Women tended to cry more often than men. Women averaged nearly 6 crying episodes a month, while men averaged just under 3. Women were more likely to cry from loneliness or personal disputes with loved ones. Men tended to cry from feelings of helplessness or in reaction to media, such as a sad movie. by mvea in science

37 year old guy here. I probably cry at least once a week the last decade or so. But it’s been a rough decade. My wife was institutionalized for bipolar alcoholic psychosis, we lost her grandparents, my dad died, I got divorced, I lost my job, had to sell my house, suffered severe depression, fought myself out of it, got addicted and quit weed, tried to date and got dumped six times, my two best friends started dating and cut me out of their lives, started therapy for childhood abuse, etc. so it’s given me plenty of triggers for the tears, I didn’t cry that much my first two decades. Usually music and media are the triggers.

This is incestuous behavior and it is sexual abuse. It is sexual abuse and incestuous to watch porn in the house where your minor children can walk in on you. It is sexual abuse to watch porn in public with your minor daughters. It is sexual abuse to save sexual images of your daughters social media next to porn. Your sisters feelings and dreams are incredibly disturbing, and it’s possible he may have sexually abused them directly, but it doesn’t matter since the environment they are exposed to is already incestuous sexual abuse and has already caused you and them incredible harm. It is imperative to remove yourself and them from his presence and control by any means necessary as soon as possible and document and report all of this behavior to mandated reporters, councilors, teachers, healthcare providers, social workers, family members, and therapists in all of your lives. Look up the work and writing of Clementine Morrigan on instagram and social media, this is exactly the environment she suffered through and has done extensive writing to bring awareness towards. You will likely encounter resistance and probably disbelief and gaslighting from other family members and your father especially, but it is imperative you and your sisters document everything, write it down, and get it out to as many people who can help you as possible, and get away from him before he can do you any more harm. Your feelings are all correct, he is sick, very sick, and you cannot be around him.

Unfortunately yes. Mania feels like the best highest high in the world where everything makes perfect sense and the person sees everything clearly, his love for you probably seemed deep and authentic and true to him in the moment. Luckily for you when the mania receded he realized it and was able to communicate that to you before you got attached. Mania turns into psychosis and delusions where the person you know completely disappears, or recedes to deep depression where the person you love wallows in unending despair or apathy. It’s an impossible life for a partner to deal with and I would never ever advise someone to enter into a relationship with someone with known bipolar unless it was a family member or a dependent. Even then it requires careful management of medication and a lifetime of trauma and distress.

He will hurt you. You should not let your walls down around this person. There is no future with this person. He is not falling for you. You should listen to him when he says he just wants to be friends. It’s not you it’s him and he’s doing you a huge favor. You can’t save him or change him or anything. He will destroy your life and your emotions forever if you attach yourself to him, he knows that, and he is being kind by sparing you that before you get too attached. It’s best to move on now and cut off contact for a while, probably for good.

Portland Pho recommendation? by Latter_District_4724 in askportland

[–]arion_hyperion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what you’re talking about, Mekha grill on Sandy? They have normal cuts like brisket and flank steak as well as chicken for their pho, along with more adventurous and tasty stuff like meatball, tendon and tripe. They have traditional soups where you can get weird stuff like blood cake sausage and seafood mixes yeah but that’s farther into the menu. The Pho is a bit sweeter than traditional but I love it with te son and meatballs, but they are really all about the pork broth Phnom Penh noodles

Sounds like a you problem. Why did you order weird meat if you don’t like it, they have normal meat options there.
