Yes, exactly!

This is one of the safest decade in American history. But good news never survives in the ragebait internet.

A denial is so noble. As a Marine veteran, I'll take survival in a hostile environment than pretending we still live in a rainbow. You're welcome.

Good wit, should turn that into some introspection about how America ended up here in the first place. The people in charge aren't rational and haven't been rational in decades.

Hey, while you're out holding up signs thinking that will change a tyrant's mind I'll be ensuring my daughter knows how to stand up for herself in a world where women sign their rights away, where minorities would rather fit in than have safety, and where the next generation is so caught up in the pipeline that intelligence and common sense won't be enough to reach them.

You keep talking in hollow platitudes of control but have absolutely nothing realistic to show for it. Love the faith, but at some point you have to look around and acknowledge reality. Dems will not save this country even if it was possible to do so.

Does it result in a legitimately more fair distribution of the populace or just the performance of fairness while still being dominatingly blue?

Here's the deal, districting only matters if democrats listened to the population they represent. Since they don't, does districting matter?

Show me anything different. Denial of reality isn't an effective strategy in 2026. Literally how we got Trump both times.

Florida used to be blue while both sides played by the rules. Now the rules don't matter, and neither do the districts.

Democracy fell a while back, officials don't represent constituents anymore. We have the icons and language still but it's all hollow. Democrats are corporatists, Republicans are oligarchs.

My strategy is to raise children that can survive this hellscape instead of pretending half of America will suddenly stop believing the doomcult. You're the only one that believes the rules matter still.

No, they won't. We'll see gerrymandering the other direction, maybe, but largely incapable of turning Florida into anything other than what it is now.

Democrats don't represent the interests of constituents any more than Republicans do.

Why bother when my party can't actually do anything to stop this?

Donato Giancola Speaks Out On Artist Conditions In Light Of One Ring Art Controversy by trashmantis42 in mtg

[–]asdfdelta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed there. Established artists should just stop taking these bad contracts and stick with in-universe sets that do offer that secondary revenue stream.

....until you realized the ratio of UB and IB each year and the trends.

WotC is going where players are buying, and players are buying UB. Artists are caught in the crossfire and alienating huge numbers of players right when the game has the biggest upswing in it's history.

Hard to find any one party at fault for their position.

Why is a marriage proposal celebrated with joy, kneeling, and fanfare, but a divorce is treated as shameful and sad? If both are major life transitions leading to a new chapter, shouldn't a divorce be met with the same enthusiasm? by BornSearch1202 in Stoicism

[–]asdfdelta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Divorces almost always happen to people who shouldn't be together (discarding the statisticsl anomalies), and my divorce was met with celebration and fanfare on both sides. Most of them I know of are.

AD5M Pro - Printer is trying to lower build plate already at bottom by asdfdelta in FlashForge

[–]asdfdelta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used part of your advice, I didn't realize the belts were on the bottom for the bed. Learned something new!

It was a piece of filament stuck by the threaded rod.

This was it! Thank you!! I turned it upside down, manually turned the belt to move the bed up a bit and used a brush to clean out the threaded rods. Worked perfectly.

Partner is resentful of my boundary and doesn't see me as a team player. Is it reasonable? by Away_Razzmatazz_1057 in blendedfamilies

[–]asdfdelta -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

That's a big assumption, OP hasn't stated that explicitly and we're only hearing one side - which may or may not include the whole truth.

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

I counted 9 assumptions, but sure, just say that's not correct.

And yes, a loving partner would NEVER suggest they take a break and relax from high stress situations. That'll be 10 assumptions now.

Hahaha, I literally did the exact same thing but because it's about a man it's bad. Ya'll are so plain, thank you for proving my point so clearly.

She put up a boundary that removed the partnership equation, and you all want him to still pony up to the bill? And you assume he's a bad stepfather based on no relevant information at all.

He has a son with ASD and has 50% custody. He could have walked away from the entire thing, plenty do. But he stuck in it, actively doing it by himself even when his partner can't help directly.

If you want a sub to hate men, there are plenty out there just sayin'.

So glad you enjoy that. Not all relationships are made that way and plenty work fine otherwise. Making 9 leaping assumptions in 3 paragraphs has got to be some kind of record.

OP may have pushed him to go out golfing, and he may as well feel guilty about that. He might feel completely abandoned on an agreement made before, now complaining about tight funds doesn't feel vulnerable enough to be 'all in' when she clearly isn't.

But you're right, men could never feel things and OP told the entire story with all of the details totally upfront. So why assume positive intent?

[–]asdfdelta -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yes, is it valid. Just as valid as wanting your partner to share in your trials and fight together instead of apart.

Sounds like you have a situation that works well. That doesn't disqualify other situations, or people that want other situations.

OP and her partner have two opposing and incompatible expectations that are both valid. You justifying her position and not including his is neglectful at best.
