I have a distant family member that illegally entered the US with her young child and used a stolen SSN and identity early on to gain employment.

Now that she’s got her green card, she’s fully in the “fuck everyone else, I got mine” camp. She cries about illegal immigrants and crime from people coming from her home country.

It’s legitimately insane to watch someone absolutely stop giving a fuck because they’ve got fiscal safety and security because they broke all the same laws during a democratic administration that was helping Latino immigrants.

Why can’t he just say “one of the good ones” and rip the band aid off.

You’re looking at this objectively as a medical practitioner…which is understandable, but way off.

What’s happening here is not even in the world of psychiatric or psychology based therapy.

This is 100% Christian religious based bullshit “therapy”. This can be done in Colorado with an “equivalent” graduate degree.

Even worse is if you’re engaged in the practice of “religious ministry” you don’t have to comply with any of the states licensure requirements as long as you don’t advertise or yourself as “licensed”. So in reality this “faith based therapist” probably is just some random person that works or volunteers at the church.

What else would they do? It’s either cheer or boo.

If they had got up and left en masse they’d write that.

If they started a riot, then they’d write that.

Seriously does everything need to be spelled out for you word for word?

It feels like if they had explicitly wrote “they then cheered for Walz” you’d be in here questioning the applicability of the word “cheered” based on the number of people cheering, the exuberance of their cheers, and the length of which the cheer was sustained.

Wtf do you think warmly embraced means? Jesus, use some context clues or I don’t know find a video of them applauding Governor Walz.

That legitimately took me 15 seconds to find a video where I could hear them clapping.

I’d go even further and say “warmly embraced” is an understatement compared to Vance being openly booed by the same convention.

As a US citizen if he ever stepped foot in the US he would be immediately extradited to either the UK or Romania for his outstanding allegations.

A lot of modern countries have extradition treaties so he’d have to go to somewhere like Russia if he wanted to remain free if he fled.

He also would lose access to a lot of modern banking systems and likely be deplatformed completely if he ever ran from his current charges.

What side would that be? I’ve voted independent every election I’ve voted.

It’s your issue if your dog whistle is deafening and you’re so quick to label conversations as “your side vs mine”.

People don’t have to be democrats to abhor readily apparent bigotry.

That sounds like a really long way to say she’s being uppity…

From previous videos I’ve seen it seems like they send 3-6 of these vehicles at a ship each time.

In the time it would take the current Russian defense industry to build and deploy one of these new missile ships, Ukraine could build and deploy a thousand of these little RC Boat Bombs from 1/1000th the cost.

They’re literally making these boats out of rebuilt engines and 3d printed parts. Russia won’t recover from this war in our lifetime as long as they embrace Putin style leadership.

Yeah, but the Airman know what people mean when they ask, because no one else knows what an Air Force Specialty Code is outside of us.

I usually just dumb it down if a Marine or Soldier asks my Mos and say that I was in IT because I’m not sure that they can handle any words that aren’t acronyms.

I’ve operated under the assumption that everyone’s polite to my face, but can’t stand being around me since high school.

It’s always been easy to believe because I don’t think I’d be interested in being acquainted with someone like me if I was somebody else.

Everything I’ve accomplished in life has just been exceedingly rare blind luck.

Then they offered to resolve it in whatever way CF deemed appropriate and CF refused to elaborate exactly which domains were the issue.

It also has games now.

I don’t think it’s rolled out to a lot of people. No one at work can see them except me, but my Google app has games that I can bring up.

Also, a business “making 80k” doesn’t mean that he took home 80k. His operating costs and expenses could have been 79k for the year, leaving him with 1k in profit to pay himself out.

I know other people replied telling you already that this is exactly what the Op is taking about so I’ll be a little more exact in my reply.

I’ve had this exact scenario happen to me two different times and with two different women when I was younger. One viewed me as someone they were interested in and one viewed me as a platonic friend amongst a group of friends.

The first one was the platonic friend. I took this as her trying to snuggle up to me when we were sitting next to each other on a couch and she flatly rejected my advance where I asked if she just wanted to snuggle so she could be more comfortable.

The second time a similar situation happened with a different group of friends at a party and instead of trying to reciprocate what I perceived the first time as a flirt, I opted to stand up and go sit on the bean bag chair so she could have more personal space. Much much later someone told me she was flirting with me and asked why I didn’t try and snuggle with her. By the time they had told me this, she was no longer interested in me romantically. Presumably because I spurned her in front of everyone, much like the first person I mentioned did to me.

From then on I accepted that if I missed out on potential romantic opportunities because I didn’t interpret a hint from a woman correctly then it was no great loss. They’re clearly not a good match for someone like me who prefers clear and enthusiastic consent when entering into a physical relationship.

The first time I kissed my wife on our first date I asked her if I could kiss her. I’ve had multiple people tell me that it was lame to do or that I “should have just gone for it”, but I preferred to be very direct with my intentions and make sure I’m not putting someone else in an awkward position where they’re letting me kiss them because they’re not comfortable plainly rejecting me.

Making the conscious decision to always be direct with my desires and potential love interests was one of the better choices I’ve made in my life. It allowed me to by myself without requiring “game or rizz”. If the other person didn’t respond positively then no big deal as we likely aren’t compatible as potential partners.

TL;DR: Hints are fucking dumb.

Be open, speak plainly, and be direct. This isn’t just something for people who fall on the spectrum. Pretending to be anything other than exactly who you are around the people you’re most comfortable with is a silly game that will end up with you likely losing in the long term. You can’t keep up your “first date persona” forever and eventually the real you will come out and they might not like who they see.

If you don’t want to try and find the correct pins to jumper, you can also unplug the pc from power (which it already should be if you’re digging around in it) and pull the little watch battery for about 30 seconds.

If I had gone and seen it in theatres I would not have known that it was a musical based on the advertisements.

The same thing happened with me and my mate when we went to see Chicago. I guess we didn’t catch any of the trailers that showed it was a musical, so we went in thinking it was going to be a gangster film akin to Goodfellas. We stayed for the whole viewing though.

Bonaparte.

I watched that one at home and I had to watch it in segments because every 20 minutes some A list celebrity would show up for like 30 seconds never to be seen again.
