This. Both my wife and I, I am sure have depression, but its not for no reason. Its no ennui and heck its not even everything happening with the country. Its actual daily reality.

Im sure it does not help but I feel the same and am too.

I wish there was something.

Seriously the unmarked federal police force killed a guy and left some kids to rot in a van in the middle of a road near me this week. Other countries should put the us in the same bucket as north korea and russia till it gets back to following its traditional laws.

some people are already working 0-day workweeks.

I mean the last thing you want a sugeon to have is a cloudy brain.

So what im getting is you both want to be together but she wants to physically as well as just companionship and you just want the companionship. Is she ok with that limitation because if so then no problemo. If not then you have to talk and see if there is any way for the relationship to work because a relationship is between people and they all need to be able to agree on what is acceptable for it. If you can’t agree I don’t see how you two could have a relationship together.

Think many would rather have universal healthcare and public school free meals.

anyone else roll their eyes at this one?

So is she is fine with it then I think its fine but you want to marry? What for? No effection means no babies and you don’t need to get married to be with someone all your life.

some people have mentioned. on occasion. that my spelling and grammar may not be perfect. My artistic ability is really limited to. Can’t think of others but many likely do effect my daily life. My wife could likely give me a good list to work off of.

I mean for most things there are almost unlimited choices. One can go mad in response to something. So just want to add to not assume there are only two effective choices and be creative to look for another possible effective choice. I mean if you find a new choice to avoid a choice that you can see will have the same result of the first choice then making the new choice is effectively the same as the other choice.

yeah I was unimpressed with those examples. usually its something where you have no real choice.

Its a large component of my morality. Being basically a subcomponent of ethic of least harm. I mean armchair idealized morality is great but this life don’t always give you a good option.

I heard they make them pretty simple now. Some are even just point and shoot /s

Is there a question here? Do you want to know how to change or do you want to know if its fine? Would help to know if she feels the same or not.

phew. glad i don’t live in australia. now where did I park my hummer. Kept it running so the ac would keep it nice and cool.

I sorta want some that have variable sized and can be connected together to make a staff.

Well I mean taking his words at face value. Either you should shrug your shoulders and say thats what he gets and his kids have learned something. That would be following the charlie kirk preaching. Or you say its horrible and express feelings he would deride for anyone else. So charlie kirk would not be empathetic to charlie kirk if he was not charlie kirk.

This is something I never really resonated with. I mean there are things I wish I understood better when I was younger (or really just have future info) and I can point to a few things I did that I wish I done differently but overall I would be pretty cool with myself from any age and I think it would be reciprocal.
