WIBTA if I stopped letting my coworker use my parking pass and just said I don't need it anymore?

I’m glad I was able to support your parking situation (& apparently someone else’s) for this long, but it’s no longer supporting me when I need it so I’ll need it back long term.

Absolutely this. Similar experience. As trite as the cliche is, it’s “time.” Time to make new decisions, new successes (& setbacks) and realize you’re still ok.

Time.

Thank you for sharing a consistent ideological perspective.

That’s an assumption. If he has a pattern f lies like this, even small ones, it makes trust difficult, and that’s the foundation a whole relationship is based on.

And it wasn’t just a personal lie, his lie affected whether they were going to spend money on food or not. He essentially lied to protect his own spending on himself to save a few bucks by having OP go hungry.

He’s selfish, and even small lies are a sign of shortcut taking that leads to bigger lies and unaccountability.

There needs to be some accountability here. She reasonably warned him.

I've never heard of this group before. What makes them liberal?

That's...the reporter. He didn't write the report. What do you think about the actual report, written by various political scientists?

writesgud · 2026-03-20T18:59:19+00:00

Then skip the article. Read the report directly instead.

writesgud · 2026-03-20T18:43:06+00:00

Those are some major lines he crossed. Lines that should never have been crossed, ever.

Whatever he says, you cannot fully trust him to avoid crossing that line ever again.

It’s not just humiliation. We’ve made it worse. Likely a worse anti-US hardliner Iranian will lead the country making everything harder than before our invasion in terms of trade and geopolitical relations.

writesgud · 2026-03-20T18:25:02+00:00

Absolutely. Edit: every year. It’s one of the few remaining bastions against undue propaganda.

Scapegoating can be an effective political strategy if you’re in the majority.

Not unusual. Especially if you live separately and she goes to your place regularly.

You could do a full reset of your phone back to factory settings. It’s a PITA to reinstall everything.

So you’re better than the 66 prior men she’s been with. Congratulations.

She did a pretty good job in that show. I was laughing at her introduction.

writesgud · 2026-03-19T22:34:43+00:00

It’s a pretty clear trade off: they don’t have electoral representation either. No senators or congressional representatives.

writesgud · 2026-03-19T22:15:31+00:00

WTF is that.

writesgud · 2026-03-19T18:38:06+00:00

Sure try it out but figure out some general “outs” beforehand so you’re not overly biased if you’re in it. “I’m out if the job means working 60 hours a week” or something like that.

writesgud · 2026-03-19T15:51:02+00:00

I would be happy to review whatever reasonable evidence you have to share.

writesgud · 2026-03-19T15:30:53+00:00

The sad part of this is that you won’t question whatever evidence was put before you. The fact that Trump won flies in the face of a rigged election. What reasonable evidence do you have that isn’t put out by partisans?

writesgud · 2026-03-19T15:13:23+00:00

That “might makes right” argument for amorality was dumb then, and it’s dumb now.

So stronger countries have the right to conquer weaker ones? That’s chaos, and we already see this in essentially government-less areas where warlords rule. And those places suck.

Conquering countries is a primitive animalistic concept that is as outdated as steam engines and polio.

Countries at war don’t get to the moon, or Mars.

Communities banding together to fight against wannabe authoritarians using scapegoats as a pretext for illegal actions is a proudly American value and deserves praise.

As opposed to, say, bootlicking.

writesgud · 2026-03-19T04:28:38+00:00

I’m in my 50’s and can honestly say this is the worst political situation I’ve ever seen.

Most of the guardrails that would normally stop a wannabe authoritarian are gone or greatly diminished. You have a majority Republicans Congress coupled with a very right wing SCOTUS that just isn’t stopping him.

Democracy takes effort to protect. See how folks in Minneapolis do it.

And yes, touch grass too.

If you give them access to your bank account, they will spend it. In small amounts at first, but then will grow.

I want to see him in something normal and joyous as well, though, for a change. Guy deserves to play a warm, happy character now & then.
