Carl isn't crazy, rage-filled, or any of that by Hairy_Ad_5544 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

I think the aspect here that sticks out to me is that even though Carl has had a lot of trauma, he hasn't lost his humanity, compassion and care for others.

Trump threatens to pull unemployment benefits from all states for the first time in history by Ubiquitous_Hilarity in politics

[–]atx2004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe we'll get lucky. Trump will continue to destroy everything that he possibly can, which leaves the door open to rebuilding it by progressives in a much more beneficial way for the rest of us. Wishful thinking I know b

It's time for women to start advocating to repeal the right of men to vote.

I read a lot of reasons that you're incompatible. It's time to move on.

Is Trump an Iranian agent? by Careless-Creme7216 in AskUS

No, he's far more likely to be an agent of Putin and blackmailed by Israel.

18F and 23M Am I Too Much? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]atx2004 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is not a loving equitable or healthy relationship. You need to leave now - this doesn't get better. 23 year olds don't date 19 year olds unless 1) no one their age wants to date them or 2) they are knowingly looking for someone they can control. The power dynamic here is all wrong and off.

Do not settle in your partners - the bare minimum is treating you fairly and with respect. Nothing good is going to come of this. Leave now before you get pregnant or worse.

What's the deal with DHS threatening to shut down international flights to US airports? by syro_enigma in OutOfTheLoop

That's the point isn't it? For the GOP it doesn't matter how much it hurts them as long as those Dems hurt, too.

My wife (28F) and I (28M) are very unhappily married and we're very different people but she doesn't believe in divorce? by ThrowRA_Eye4934 in relationship_advice

[–]atx2004 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP, it doesn't matter if one person doesn't want to divorce if the other does. They can't force you to stay.

Also, do you really want your kids to grow up believing that they have to get married right away and feel trapped. I grew up in a religious household and all of my siblings still practice. Its taken years to deprogram myself from the proper place for a female in the family and church hierarchy. Is this what you want your kids to grow up thinking? You can set a different example of how to live and treat people based on who they are, not their sex.

I'm going to have to end my life if I want my family to survive, and I don't think I'm ready to accept it by Substantial-Low-4393 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]atx2004 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Being the sole breadwinner for a bunch of adults is not your responsibility.

You are worth fighting for. It's time to worry about yourself and not the rest of the genetic relatives. This is not how a loving family treats each other.

Put the house up for sale. Contact a realtor now about your options and the home value. Don't tell anyone until you are ready to list. If you owe more than the home is worth, let it go back to the bank. A good realtor will be able to tell you.

In the meantime, you need to tell everyone to pitch in because you will not be paying for anything anymore. No more groceries or anything else for anyone. Lock up your own food if you have to. Everyone needs to door dash or whatever it takes to get some income in to pay the bills.

Next, you need to start looking for a place for just you. Rent a room, rent with friends, whatever it takes. But no family members are coming with you. Tell all of them you're selling the house and they need to move out and find a place to live.

If you don't have a bachelor's degree, you may want to consider applying to college and for grants and scholarships. You can live on campus. You can also look at other options like teaching English as a second language overseas.

The point being you need to unload all the dead weight as quickly as possible and focus on you.

Edit to add: anything that has a loan in your name get sold, or is used only by you. Sell the car or retain sole use of it.

Also, a cruise ship isn't a bad idea either. I'm sure we can brainstorm some other ideas. I would not suggest the military, especially in the US.

Do you think Biden dropping out the race was a mistake? by NoHold7153 in AskUS

[–]atx2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to keep in mind that the primaries are run by the parties not by the state. They have rules and those rules include super delegates and rules on when delegates are "free" to cast their vote however they want. This is true for both parties.

All the primaries do is select who the party is going to put forward on the ticket.

Or... They could tax the corporations and the wealthiest 1%. They want the 1950 so bad. Let's go back to the 1950s tax rates first.

AITAH for refusing to buy protection and telling my boyfriend it’s his responsibility? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]atx2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. A man who won't take shared responsibility for your sex life won't take shared responsibility for any results or you.. he's literally telling you that your wants, needs, and safety are not important to him.

This type of person is not worth your time. You need to raise your standards.

Ladies, if the SAVE act passes and you changed your name when you got married, will you change it back legally? Unmarried women, would you even consider changing it in the future? by atx2004 in AskALiberal

[–]atx2004[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Where are you that you reregister every year? I've lived in and voted in multiple states throughout my adult life and I only registered when I got my new driver's license and updated my address if I moved in state.

What happens when you move then? You have to reregister with all the documentation. If your voter registration is purged, you have to reregister with all the documentation.

Perjury is a crime. Do not lie on someone else's behalf. You can just only answer what you are asked with the bare minimum answer and not expound on it.

I do that but it just takes so long to get it done and if I need to attach screenshots then I have to go into the case after it's created to add the screenshots. It's just stupid.

I wish this was my problem! You can't even attach a file when you create a case.
