Bullshit, one party or any relationship has to make the first move. It basically never occurs simultaneously. And that’s pressure. It’s not a crime, in and of itself.

If he’s wanting something, AND you’ve expressed disinterest, and he continues in an agessive manner, by which he fails to respect your EXPRESSED boundry, then he’s probably too aggressive to have a healthy relationship with AT THIS TIME.

People are actually capable of changing with time. And they do tend to mellow out as they age.

That’s not to say that any one person should set a date 10 years in the future to reattempt a relationship with somebody they met who was too aggressive. But sometimes people exist in the same social spheres, and it’s important not to brand people as one specific thing for eternity. For example, one of the OPs friends might meet up with this guy 5 years from now and manage to easily develop a healthy a satisfying relationship with him.

That’s all because he started his Star Trek career taking himself far to seriously as an actor: he needed that on hand reminder to lighten the fuck up.

Star Trek was protopian, it needed to present at positive, despite all the conflict that occurs. That means having ‘up’ people on screen, less there’s a damn good reason to be down.

I Just restarted TNG yesterday, you can tell right off that the actors haven’t gotten a grasp on their characters yet. But even the second episode shows a lot of improvement.

Somebody should show them what that means.

VPN, all day long

Bad people distort narratives regardless of the actions of others… No matter what she did, my first wife was always the victim. DARVO is a thing, identify it and ignore it. These people looting a market for resources after a long night of rioting does not disqualify their complaints. Their complaints must be evaluated and addressed independently of their reaction to the original violation against them.

During riots, people often loot markets for food and water. Which makes perfect sense: they aren’t carrying a lot of resources and a night of high adrenaline rioting will exhaust and dehydrate people.

The only real solution is to provide access to cheap or free food and water throughout and after, but who is going to do that?

The stores themselves could lock up the pricey stuff and offer water access and cheapo food stuff, ask for payment, but not lock their doors or make a huff if people don’t pay. But they’d have to plan for it, and not every business is going to be riot savey.

Besides, most biz are covered by insurance, so not really a big deal.

Hostile, selfish, and distracted drivers

Every day stuff out, or if having stuff often for a few weeks, like being on a toast binge.

But if not using for over a week most stuff should be put away.

We keep microwave and instapot accessible, but toaster is really a few times a year thing. Blender is probably more often, but still rare.

Usually my pizza comes on wax paper or the like, and the box is either grease free or close enough (like a tiny spot or two).

Or it’s frozen/refrigerated, and wrapped on plastic, so, again, the box goes in recycle.

I don’t put soiled things in recycle, but you can’t tell, cause it rains often and everything ends up looking fucked.

It is actually justification, you just choose not to accept it.

I mean, I specifically like GTA because it allows me to rack up 4 stars and brutally and violently murder POS LEOs until they give up cause I’ve trashed their forces and they don’t have anything heavier to send at me.

I would be happy to see the same done in real life, but I doubt the outcome would be anywhere near similar.

I used to even spend hours on Assassin’s Creed just gutting cops, stealing their rides and running over thugs until I saw another set of cops to rob. Then I’d kill them, and take their ride, and…

Fuck the police!

I’d start actually using the bidet I bought 3 years ago.

Alive Day: can be celebrated any day and by anyone around the world, so long as they are living.

They do this all the time just to be dicks… It would’ve been safer and faster to just run it over the car … And this video should prove these specific individuals as liable for the damages.

Turning? There was never enough fraud to justify any effort, less you consider gerrymandering and unfair polling practices, or other efforts to limit voting rights or fair outcomes.

I see tits everywhere…

They are typically at least 2.85in in diameter, not 2in. They describe them on the sales receipt/contract.

Maybe not here, but post the location to a group of antiflockers, suggest it’s pointing at a home and shouldn’t be, suggest maybe it should be removed.

You can stay pretty anonymous.

There are those of us who wouldn’t mind just quietly popping by a week later and taking care of that for ya.

If any are close by it certainly might get done.

Seems most people vote their feels or their chosen clan… Whoever they think they get along better with socially.

It seems few people seriously assess a politicians job qualification or work hisrory.

Heck, my SO just lets me do the work, but I refused to just let them copy my vote. I write up paragraph summaries for each candidate then a blurb explaining my choice. They can disagree if they want, it’s okay. I don’t look to see how they vote, or ask, but they basically tell me they trust me and just wanna copy me.

It’s honestly pretty upsetting.

And I bet one partner in most relationships just does the same, or votes party line, or just generally doesn’t give a hoot but votes anyway.

Anything that is just local hardware can be saved or copied to an encrypted cloud drive of your choosing, via VPN if that’s what you want.

You don’t have to use a security cam system that hosts the cloud storage, or acts as a middle man between you and a live feed.

There are local systems that can host remote access portals too.

These things existed before things like ring or wyze…
