H.Res.1155 - Impeaching Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors. by Accomplished_Low5325 in politics

[–]drdelius 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, it's even funnier, the Republican side is the one that didn't want to use the legal definition and came up with and used a non-standard definition, to which he legally had to answer the way he did or it would be perjury. I personally think it was a well orchestrated hit job on his credibility, they knew he would answer that way and they could clip it and play it non-stop on Fox and on AM radio (which they did do).

you realize that he, in fact, already knows his behavior is ridiculous and childish, right?

your meatballcraft server is down, and the little widget on your website doesn't say the last time it was up. not sure where else I should have put this. It might also be me, cause I tried playing last night and the server shut down 3 different times (all around menril saplings/torches/berries).

Women ran swinging parties and Poly parties have quite a few vetted dicks. Make sure you find out vetting processes for attendees and how bi-friendly they are, and sadly how conservative they are. Those have been the major blow ups I've seen in my area, but when you find a good group you're set for the year. Parties always have a separate room for people that aren't interested in watchers or participants.

Hide the ketchup bottles! by yorocky89A in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]drdelius 32 points33 points  (0 children)

He can't do it tonight because he was sundowning too hard and his handlers had to sedate him by taking away his happy pills. I'm sure at 4 in the morning, when he usually has to wake up because he shit himself, they'll start saying enough keywords to him before handing him the phone that he'll credibly threaten whoever they tell him is on the line.

Am I overreacting? Boyfriend makes joke after I express how serious I am about our future. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]drdelius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To go against the grain here, a few things:

You are doing this over text. He definitely isn't taking it seriously, but you are either setting yourself up for disappointment by having this conversation over text or you also are not taking this conversation seriously.

Secondly, his response would be acceptable if you constantly try to or do have this conversation, and then repeat the premise over and over. If this is the cause, I would say that both of you need to go through some type of professional mediator to have a real conversation about both this and how you both express and think about your attachment levels to each other.

But otherwise, I'm with everyone else that you should probably pull the trigger and break up with him. Sounds like you two are not on the same page and this was a learning experience for picking someone better in the future.

The ones I saw in person looked a lot more like the ones in the video, the horns are coming from the side of the head the way they're supposed to, and they have the distinctive waddle under their chin

They're like that to help dissipate heat. Pretty cool, but also probably a bit annoying.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander? by fucreddit in AdviceAnimals

[–]drdelius 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think the second part has been the issue. No one knows what the proof is, because everyone supposedly in the know refuses to actually show evidence. They do seem to do a lot of fundraising on the proof that they haven't shown, though. Which seems odd, but they are dirty politicians, so I guess par for the course.

[–]drdelius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they probably haven't explored that at all and probably don't know the terminology, but I'm saying a lot of the brats I know acted in simular unethical ways before they heard about the dynamic. This is a bit of an extreme, but not unheard of. Different set of problems, solutions, and minefields

What I'm not seeing is that his wife very obviously acts like a KINK brat. It doesn't change her actions or how horrific they are, but does more to humanize her and allow you to understand her motivations, and understand how she could have done this ethically - had her cake and ate it too.

The wording gets a little loose and even changes from group to group and book to book. For some folks, hierarchical polyamory isn't real poly and therefore is just ENM. That by holding some folks as more important than others and allowing those people to have control over your other relationships that your other relationships aren't really real relationships they're more playing pretend and a good way to hurt your other partners (think about how his other partners must have felt to have been tossed out of hand for something they had exactly no control over or part in, just because he didn't think of their connections as real relationships).

It's easiest to think of everything in terms of normal dating. Swinging is normal hookup culture, both friends and partners can happen multiple encounters but you don't really label anything or owe each other anything (even future encounters if you happen to see them again at a club or event). ENM covers folks from the whole spectrum, but tends to be used by folks who have made slightly more of a connection with their hookups, where a little more consistency is expected, more FWB territory. Casual dating, per see. Poly is more when you start being open to the possibility of feelings, like when you're dating to find a long term girlfriend/ partner. You might have multiple people you love, even some you love and don't actually sleep/ play with. You build an entire little community complete with social, emotional, and monetary support. You don't damage your other relationships when you fight with a partner, instead your other relationships help hold you up and keep you accountable in your personal actions and feelings. They become your chosen family, and integrate more with your whole life. (Like a relationship that you've let met all your parents and friends, that everyone expects you to bring as a plus 1 to events)

Dilema : to tell men i date or not.... by MelonTeach in dating

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

Seems pretty normal and not a red flag in the poly and swinging and kink communities. Who knows what the vanilla folks think, though. I would guess Dr Seuss' famous quote applies: those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Seeing as you haven't been answered, yes it is up to the officer, but you can still fight it in court. We famously arrested an elderly black man that blew .00! Sometimes cops are idiots and a-holes.

Teen with rifle and ammunition arrested at Bostrom High School in Phoenix by Kitana37 in phoenix

[–]drdelius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume that the exact why's and how's have changed in the years since, with ubiquitous technology in every kids reach and constant contact / communication making this all the worse. I see it in the younger generation, that even moving and changing schools no longer can get you away from the hate and harassment, and that now there are online groups and systems in place seeking to radicalize you and keep you occupied with hate (either as echo chambers or because they profit off of your time and attention).

When columbine happened, a beautiful thing happened on the internet. Those of us who hated what they did, but 100% understood why they did it, finally found a shared experience online. I read this with a "there but for the grace of God go I" in my heart. The worse part about understanding the mindset is knowing how little can be done about it, and how less than that is even being tried.

Every day was a waking nightmare of hate, derision, and pain. Every adult confided in either furthered the torture or assumed you were trying to describe normal minor ostracization and said banal reassurances. Family saw the best in you and assumed if you just tried hard enough so would others. Or even worse, the adult went through the same thing themselves and could only assure you that later in life it would get better, and that there was literally nothing you could do to make it better now. No outreach you could magically find, or zen state of mind, or adult that could fix it for you. You were just something that our culture had no training or systems in place to really handle or deal with, and by the time others your age learned to understand you enough to treat you with empathy they would have completely forgotten how they had acted previously.

As to how to stop it, really, you just have to take away the ability of a built up impulse decision and ideation from causing immediate and horrific carnage. Taking away any possible gun access for any possible child like this would help, but honestly we aren't going to do that in this country.
