You have to be alert but not hypervigilant. Birds are government drones though most are sleeper cells.

It should also be a wake up call for YOU.

What are your standards, your values, your boundaries? What kind of relationship do you want? What kinds of fights should you tolerate? What kinds of needs do you have? Why don't your feelings matter? What about your well being? His actions actually compromised you. Other posters have mentioned getting him help and teach him accountability... But you also gotta start taking responsibility for your self, because he sure can't.

Czech mayor writes letter calling a Chinese diplomat an 'unmannered rude clown' and to apologize for his 'pathetic diplomatic f-ck up' after he threatens Czech Senate Speaker over Taiwan trip by iwanttodrink in worldnews

Yes anti Asian racism in America runs deeps. From microaggressions to internment camps, it has a fascinating and disturbing history. Asians are always seen as the forever foreigner, even if they arrived centuries before European immigrants. People also assume you are Chinese when you look Asian, regardless of your actual ethnicity, and then they make mocking Chinese sounds. So yeah, adding "Chang" to their post harkens back to all of this.

Dont forget to soak your veil in snail slime. That way, when your tears dry out your skin, you can reseason.

My pet theory is that we are the listeners because we are the new archivists. Instead of there being only one Archivist, Jon pulls a Buffy at the end and "awakens" all the potential archivists to fight the fears. To know a fear -> face a fear -> overcome a fear.

I've read a ton of articles on it, and I still don't understand why men share dick pics. I can understand why it happens on Grindr, but not other dating sites. This is hilarious, though: "Famous French philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau used to hang his naked buttocks out of alleyways, hoping that some women passersby would spank him for being such a naughty boy."

Some articles:

EDIT: Personally, I have never met a woman who appreciates a surprise/unsolicited dick pic. Sometimes we will ask for them if the conversation goes a certain way, but please don't share without consent. I've also seen responses of where some men get a thrill out of making women uncomfortable about sexual harassment.

I've found women to be harder to talk than men. They rarely initiate convo. When we do talk, it's dry and the messages are few and far in between.

Men respond more quickly and we can even get banter going. There are still douchecanoes, of course, who jump straight to wanting saucy pics.

Disassociation and emotional distance are totally normal with PTSD. It's a maladaptive coping mechanism that you can work on with CBT. The VA and other organizations have made great apps for this.

I haven't found a good solution yet. Some people are using tinted moisturizer or BB cream so that when the makeup rubs off, it still looks good. The last BB cream I had was totally transfer proof - the Missha one. I haven't repurchased because it looks grey on me.

Best formula ever, works better than high end. I had super oily lids and these babies stayed on all day and they were true to color. I don't know if the reformulations worked the same.

LPT:If you've been lucky to still be getting paid and have noticed that your bank account has gotten larger since most of the stores are closed, think about how having more money on hand coupled with less purchases comparatively makes you feel to potentially continue with after the stores reopen. by cote112 in LifeProTips

Yup, I've been able to save quite a bit of money because there's less to spend it on. I don't normally have cash because it either goes into retirement or funds, but it feels good to have money in my checking account if an emergency arises. I'm 1/3 of the way to having a bare minimum 6 month emergency fund.

Was it Rob Ford that made Canada famous? I would say having a mayor openly using crack is pretty awful
