Removing other stressors and toxic people from my life. Listening to emotional responses.

My anxiety from a rough relationship was giving me generalized social anxiety.

Sometimes you meet people and give then a chance before your figure it out. You can just cut them off once you see their toxicity. They’ll survive just fine so don’t worry about them. There’s plenty of other people who are ready for good and healthy friendships.

As long as you don’t need anything from them there isn’t one. But then why would you be sending a message in the first place?

Yep that’s totally true.

Worth noting as well that even if you can dish out for higher cost goods that alone doesn’t mean you escape these labor practices. Not only do you need the wealth to buy conscientiously, but you need the time and energy to investigate the supplier and their supply chain. i failed to read your whole post, blame the app 😅

The choice is often false, and that’s a systemic affect. The idea that the less well off are judged for making such decisions isn’t about ethics, it’s about class.

Yeah i was half awake, a bit harsh ig.

Maybe a better formed argument is that getting into a marriage legally is way too easy compared to the legal process of leaving one. Even if you have all your things in order and everything is completely amicable the dissolution can be a a very drawn out process, especially if you can’t be present in the state you were married in.

The part about being in a hospital, only applies if the partner is not conscious, otherwise they can consent. Some other counties have another method for this where if you’ve simply lived together long enough those sorts of protections exist. So yeah you have a fair argument in the US. Is it a valid reason for legally formalizing your marriage? That’s up to you and your partner to decide.

I think my major annoyance is that people put emotional value into the legal matter of marriage as though law and the state had some interpersonal value.

Socially it’s an excuse to party with everyone you love.

Legally it’s only worth it if you have kids, plan to migrate countries, or have shitty immediate family among other things. But if you’re just in a long term relationship with your finances otherwise separated, no kids or end of life concerns, then it can be somewhat detrimental as you’re just inviting the state in to meddle with your life. it’s just a formal interaction with the state.

How did my boss come to embody every other department/group that you work with!? Literally one guy, fighting with himself about the ideas he wants and failing to communicate it while complaining that the solution should be simple and easy while making meetings drag on…

The salvadoran government was significantly supported by the US during their civil war. The war lead to mass migration of Salvadorans to the US. MS-13 was originally an LA street gang that the US deported to El Salvador, an act which launched it into an international cartel. They didn’t “make their culture this way”, the US sluffed it’s own problem upon them.

This facility, built under President Nayib Bukele’s “war on gangs,” houses over 40,000 men, most of whom were arrested en masse without any process resembling justice—just tattoos, zip codes, or looking nervous.

Not just American deportees…

The other benefit is there’s no fun and games on the windows boot so i can’t get distracted from work. If it was just a quick shortcut away I’d get nothing done.

Separate hard drives fixes this one.
