My hunch is they were using that as an excuse when the reality was they were terrified of doing couple’s therapy because it’s really hard

As a long time reader of the subreddits where this sort of advice is posted, sure, some commenters fall back on this advice, which requires no thought and is very easy to consider when you’re not at all involved, however the top responses are almost always well thought out perspectives on the relationship.

If this question is about your parents and how they treat you though, which I’m considering based on your post history, I’m afraid you’re going to find there’s nothing you can do to change them, and that putting distance between them and yourself is your only pathway to minimizing that negativity in your life.

Iran has Trump’s nuts in a vise right now. They’ve successfully made the Strait reopening contingent upon Israel stopping its attacks on Lebanon, which means Trump would have to put on big boy pants and stop Netanyahu, but Trump doesn’t have the life skills to put on big boy pants. Trump threatens total war with Iran, but knows that would be the end of his administration domestically. He has left Iran with more power than they had before he attacked, and doesn’t know what to do, so is trying to bully NATO into saving him, which NATO will never succumb to.

They state right there at the beginning that they’re studying how social cues impact addiction. That knowledge has real potential to impact substance abuse treatment modalities.

As an aside, the “how did that get funded” joke is a common right-wing trope to dismiss or undermine any science they don’t like, so I’d recommend in the future you avoid it

What have you done?

This is a great way to get thrown in prison and accomplish nothing. Building cohesive local mutual aid networks and progressively larger protests accomplishes way more as far as resistance to Trump

Barcelona and Moscow are closer to each other than LA and NY, fyi

Otherwise, I totally agree with you.

I disagree with this, the US’s leadership lost this war, not the military itself. The military was dealt a shit hand by incompetent civilian leadership having no discernible goals and ignoring decades of intelligence and threat assessments.

The No Kings protests have been an amazing show of opposition to Trump and the Republican party. Are you mocking them?

What’s clear is that whatever ceasefire exists, none of the parties agree on what the terms are. Looking forward to it falling apart

Brendan Carr has no jurisdiction over cable, but we all know that’s not going to stop him from trying

The race to outflank each other on the right has been happening in the Republican party for over 40 years, but over the last 16 years they’ve gone increasingly batshit

In all seriousness, I work in homelessness mental health response, and when we come across someone who’s VA eligible, it’s a godsend. We can usually get them into a VA-funder shelter immediately, where they have their own room, and the success rate at permanently housing people from that program is very high

Hope humanity is still here when they get back.

Or maybe it’s time to call it

Even deeper than that, he has narcissistic personality disorder and literally cannot tolerate ever being wrong or being viewed as weak. He’s also almost completely incapable of empathy and reduces the world around him to how everything and everyone can serve him personally

Isn’t it common knowledge that if Trump were to do what he’s saying he’s going to do tomorrow, that Iran will demolish all the drilling, refining, and shipping infrastructure they can in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and the UAE? Iran has said they would do this. If Trump decides to do this, the oil and commodities shock that’s still barely begun to hit will be 10x worse, and permanent. That’s not to speak of the civilian death toll Trump and Netanyahu would cause

I don’t know if I’d describe hitting a guy in the nuts with a baseball bat “playing with genitals”

I told my son “gesundheit,” and now he only eats sauerkraut and goose steps everywhere

“Great!”

“Alright, you?”

“Living the dream.”

“Another day in paradise.”

“One day closer to death.”
