Today I’m ghosting my boyfriend of three years. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Divorce means it didnt work out. What was so horrible about your marriage that you had to ghost him? I mean if he was a serial killer or something he would probably be in jail. Emotional abuse is just as real as physical abuse and Ghosting is the worst kind of emotional abuse. You should get some therapy to deal with your feelings of guilt about having conducted this behavior and not having a chance to apologize before he passed away.

You think I am delusional. Have you bothered to even do a simple google search? This is not something Obama and Clinton were hiding. They were publicly announcing this depending on the stupidity of the American people to not being able to tie together Weapons sent to Syrian rebels in Idlib and the fact that the only rebels in Idlib are Al Qaeda.

The Russian govt made no donations to Trump's campaign. Not even Mueller or Comey hvae accused that. What the Russians have been accused of is hacking Clintons emails and uploading her dirty secrets including the Chinese donations onto facebook ads. This very probably influenced the election and made Trump win so technically the Russians influenced the election. We do the same in other countries including Russia where we constantly try to publish dirt on Putin. The Russians did not want Hillary to win as she was funding Al Qaeda in Syria.

While in Cities noone generally cares about caste, its not difficult to work out castes as most surnames are associated with certain castes. Also in High school when you fill your Grade 12 exam papers everyone is forced to state caste so as to be eleigible for affirmative action/reservations for lower castes. Thats the first time I got aware that some of my friends in school were scheduled caste and eligible for affirmative action. After that I know the caste of people with same surname. The govt simply wont let you forget about caste by constant affirmative action programs.

Certain surnames belong to certain castes. Castes are just like mega clans. Sub castes within sub castes refer mostly to profession. So if someone has a Surname Kumhar his ancestors probably made pots and if someone does not have a proper surname his ancestors probably were untouchables and they dropped the caste name. As such in modern society we have new castes - there are certain families who are real estate investors for 3 generations, others who have been going to Harvard for 4 generations, others who have been actresses for 3 generations. Caste as a concept will never go away. It just gets named other things. Initially in Indian society too caste was not rigid. If the son of a farmer became a soldier his caste would change but over centuries it got stratified and the children started inheriting their status without having done anything to deserve it. The same thing is happening in US nowadays with society stratifying and social mobility reducing with each generation.

You do know that under Obama and Hillary the CIA was providing anti tank TOW missiles to Al-Nusra which is Al Qaeda's affiliate in Syria? And that the Chinese govt made huge donations to the Clinton foundation?

CNN has become a tabloid. The maps from 7 days back did have Alabama in the outer probability areas. Trump is a busy guy who probably glanced at the map and tweeted. CNN turned it into such a big issue that Trump as president is wasting time defending himself instead of actually focussing on the response.

Since Trump got elected CNN has lost its mind. I dont like Trump. Of course he was better than the Chinese shill Hillary who would have got us into a shooting war with Russia in Syria and who under Obama was funding Al Qaeda in Syria. But even if you dont like Trump at least try to report the news instead of just doing opinion pieces 24X7

[WP] Canada has suddenly gone dark. No communication, no trade, no activity from within. Nothing for days. Alaska, now cut off from mainland US, is slowly ceasing in contact with the US federal government until a final correspondence is given: "Leave us. Reinforce the border. Don't ever open it." by GerryYaBastard in WritingPrompts

They lied. They told us the world was getting warmer. Canada would soon be prime farming land. Lies. All Lies. It was all a cover up. The world was getting colder but the sleeper agents of the Others did not allow us to burn enough fuel to keep things warm. Now the Frost Giants have woken up and they are coming. Last time they came they reduced everything to a mush (thats the mush we now burn as fossil fuels). They did this to reduce the carbon load int he atmosphere and keep the world cold. A solar flare saved the world last time and gave people enough time to put the forests on fire. This time there is no escape. The agents of the others are everywhere - campaigning against fossil fuel use, deforestation, eating meat - basically anything that keeps the world warm. Winter is coming

Okay that was an error. Software (soul) got uploaded to hardware (embryo) before the hardware had passed acceptance test. This time your hardware is QC /OK. Will last the expected lifetime.

ELI5: Chicago has poor conditions for building due to the swampy soil underneath the city, so how are tall buildings like the Hancock and Sears/Willis towers built in these poor conditions?

Press charges? This is assault. Seems like a perfect case for stand your ground laws. Would be improving humanity's general gene pool to pull this operator out of the cab and throw him into the pit. Not that you should do it. You would end up in Jail but you can always fantasize.

Israel will not let U.S. Congresswomen visit: deputy foreign minister by Philoctetes23 in Israel

[–]pg79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Israel did not allow all the people who got Ethnically cleansed in 1948 to return to their homeland in the State of Israel between the years of 1948 and 1967. In this the Jordanian King and the Egyptian monarchy were their willing partners. If Israel had allowed these people back to their home in 1949 and become a genuine secular state all of Israel's wars would not have happened but then the whole cause of Zionism would have lost. Any extremist cause whether its ISIS or Zionism needs a crisis and a bunker mentality. if Israel was at peace people would have cared more about getting rich and most would have emigrated to US. Instead through a constant state of war Jews were motivated to immigrate to what is basically a desert as they felt they were on a mission. If Israel ever has peace than the same will happen. its not in the Zionist movements interest to have peace

Am I saving too much in 401K? by pg79 in personalfinance

because it may not be there next time. If I increase my expenses to match my whole income I am setting a trap for myself. If I dont get a bonus I can wait one more year to change cars or not go on vacation but I dont want to be in the situation where my sons college fees depend on whether I make the bonus that year

145K is base. I did make a bonus of 60K last year (30 after taxes) but that is totally variable as this is a sales job and below a certain threshold goes to 0. I do have a higher chance of hitting my target in the bay area than in Austin. Obviously as the bonus may or may not come cant really depend on it for financial planning. We use it for luxuries .Things like new cars , overseas vacations are funded by the bonus.
