Oh very meow, I'll put the cat ears back on.

I enjoy the cleaning. It gives me purpose and makes me feel useful.

You could ask far, far worse of me.

Even if you do, it's hard to tell if it'll be legitimate human interaction or just someone using AI.

AI has infiltrated everything. There is a pen pal app that acts in a similar way to snail mail. You get a limited number of stamps and send letters to people that take the approximate time to reach the other user based on how far apart you are irl. A couple of years ago the app became infested with people using AI to write their letters.

People have become incredibly lazy in every regard. I'd rather be a recluse than bother trying to chat with a society that has to use AI to speak on their behalf.

Shadow of the colossus my beloved.

It's an aggressive mix of the gish gallop and motte and bailey fallacies.

They won't even own their own viewpoints once you've gone through the effort of pulling apart the claim and addressing it. They'll tell you that you're reading too deep into it, misinterpreting it, all while putting out more nonsense for you to address.

There's nothing you can do with the average person not being invested enough in politics to inquire further, and the lack of controls on public speakers. Except stoop to their level I suppose.

Someone actually gets it. Like every other sexual act it is an act of trust.

I'm not sure about that. In general I do feel as if I don't contribute nearly enough to society in order to make it a better place.

As I've grown older I have felt regret about not stepping into a mentor role like this. I genuinely don't think I'm the person to do it, nor do I consider myself capable.

I don't believe in any religion, don't like religion, but I also realize that it's not the governments place to tell people what they can and can't believe.

Besides that, given the specifics of this law it's rather easy to see it's not even about religion as a whole. It's just more Islamophobia.

Thanks friend.

I try to laugh because it helps with how depressing life is, but sometimes I'm just overwhelmed by it all. Sometimes I need to close my eyes and ignore it.

not a few on the left,

Nah, was a lot actually. I know a lot of people that were really upset after the election and after the first few months. Then it stopped being a problem. "You're overreacting." "Don't think about it." "We'll be fine next election."

Wasn't sure if I wanted to put it out there, but I needed a place to let it out. I suppose my situation was too good to be true. Dated for years, but the marriage itself did not make it to a single year, at least unofficially.

It's been a stressful time. She previously had a government job under an agency that doge culled. She loved her job. I realize that as a society we work too much, but to some degree people do want to feel productive and that many people find their workplaces to be places of belonging. She apologized for taking so long to come to this conclusion, but she mentioned that this time away from work has helped a lot with self-reflection.

I was aware that she considered herself bi previously and that she had relations with women before. I wasn't aware of the extent of it. She told me she felt compulsory heterosexuality for a long time, but wasn't entirely sure of it and I was her last chance in regards to men. She told me she still loved me, just not that way, and that I was the best partner she'd ever had, that she was remorseful about not being compatible in that regard. We discussed a lot of more private feelings, mostly trying to understand and showing concern for each other.

I support her. If that's how she feels then that's how she feels, and she deserves to be happy. I'm not angry with her, and we're not leaving each others lives, just changing roles. It still hurts a lot, but that's life sometimes. It isn't anyone's fault.

That said I'm glad I won't be doing anything tomorrow. I'm just struggling to function right now. And yeah, that's how it's going.

Edit: I slept in today quite a bit. I've read through most of the replies and it really melted my heart. I cried a bit. I didn't expect so many kind words or this much encouragement. I appreciate a lot of the advice too. I don't really know how to express any gratitude beyond this. I will try to reply a bit more later, but I need to take some more time to myself for a while. Thank you.

 

Not sure why I haven't seen more posting about this. Piggy decided to project onto some poor newswoman.
