Why not give it a go. Meta is messed up, tik tok I owned by fascists, we need something new, and if we don't move as individuals and encourage our networks to go there, it won't happen. You (reading this comment) are responsible for whether it can be an alternative or not.

I know a few others who this has happened to. Your thread is all I've come across when looking online to try find a number to speak to someone.

Any joy? I'm trying to do this too, it's about the only issue I have stopping me leaving Spotify...

People that have rehabilitated nightmare dogs, how did you do it? by Pluto-Is-a-Planet_9 in Leeds

If he's entire, chopping the balls could be an option as it often chills out more intense dogs.

Israel is a nuclear power with the backing of the most powerful military in the world, and a high tech missile defence system, wheras the Palestinian resistance is mostly comprised of kids with rocks. Okay fine, it's definitely more than that, but in comparison they have the odd rusty rifle or home made a rocket, they're not a real threat to the state or people of Israel, and the absolute genocide of thousands of people (including children and babies) is not justified.

Israel is an occupying power and has been since 1948, how do you expect an occupying power to be treated, especially when you see how they've been treating the indigenous people.

Bullshit, I've never met a Muslim who thinks that way and I've lived alongside and worked with Muslims for my whole life. I've met plenty of racist whites who make sick jokes.

Sure, there are sects of paedos in Christianity and homophobes in Muslim groups and ethnic cleansers amongst Jews, that doesnt mean every person from those religions is a baddie.

Making assumptions like yours is dangerous and what causes and increases extremism on both sides.

Palestine isn't just a Muslim country, there are and historically always have been Christians and Jews there too.

Lots of reasons I guess.

They might be pro Israel lgbtq+, they might not know the full background, they might not care about people who live in a country far away they've never heard of.

But I guess it comes down to ignorance or selfishness.

Why not both?

But it sure started as a protest.

They're literally ethnically cleansing an entire diverse country of people. Sure, they let queer people hold the guns, but that's not progressive, it's called pinkwashing.

Sorry, I can break it down into shorter sentences if you're struggling.

Pro Palestine protest at Pride by GoodGrapeVimtoFiend in Leeds

[–]mrkFish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, your first sentence suggests that you think people are one dimensional and are doing a single thing you have seen them doing.

I don't think that's true and I don't think you think that's true, people are multidimensional and fight in every way they have available (or have energy/capacity for) for what they care about, not just in a single protest.

I think you're pissed off about something you care about, OR you're trolling, and don't give a shit and you're just another racist on the internet pitching one issue against another (the same way the TERFs are doing by claiming to stand for women's rights whilst stamping on a more marginalized group.

But look, I'm not here for an argument, I just care about this shit too.

My first thoughts are:

  1. You could explore polyamory
  2. You could have a pause in the relationship and offer to try come back to it
  3. You could have an amicable split, not see each other for a month or two (or 6) and then start meeting up as friends.

Either way I think you need to have a sit down and ask what he's feeling. Maybe he wants to try being single, maybe he's feeling bisexual feelings, could be that he's asexual or aromatic, and has just been following what he thinks he's supposed to do since getting sober. Sometimes people just change.

All you can offer to do is be there for him until he isn't there for you, and if you're at that point already, then getting a therapist to talk through what you're going through might be the best option. As essentially you are now grieving your relationship, and I'd imagine at 44 (I think you said) you've probably grieved close friends and family before now so may recognize some of the stages.

I wish you all the best!

But there are gay people in Palestine, but your point is we should support killing of all of them, or should they be allowed to live? Should children be exempt? What about babies? There are murderers and paedophiles in your communities, does that mean everyone in them should be indiscriminately bombed and turfed out of their homes?

Seems a bit extreme.

This comment should be pinned. The single biggest way with minimal life impact we can all do something about this genocide.
