  • How do you know when it's time to end a relationship?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I think you're right. I just needed to hear it.

    It really fuckin' sucks, but I think I'm just gonna make it worse if I wait. I'm just a little scared to admit years of my life were wasted, yah know?

  • You're right. I should be asking my friends. But, a part of me also wants to know what a stranger would say. My friends know and care about me, but I think it's worthwhile to see what someone totally removed would say if they knew how I felt.

    And I won't lie, maybe a part of me is looking for permission. I don't want to feel like I'm crazy or making a rash decision.

    I really appreciate it, though. It's tough, and I don't think there's a 'good' answer. No matter what I do, it'll be an unhappy outcome on some level.

  • In theory, it's until you have resolved your issues. It's more like the therapist mediates and asks questions to helo you understand your relationship dynamics. We made quick progress, but it dissipated over the course of a year.

    By then, the therapy was mostly trying to help us retread ground and we both struggled with that fact.

  • That cope from Conservative Christians™️ is always funny. Similar statements show up in the Talmud. A large animal passing through the eye of a needle was a common idiom in Jewish culture at the time to demonstrate impossibility.

  • Does Trump Have Momentum?

    Jump

  • You get downvoted for it, but it's absolutely true. She had a real opportunity to distinguish herself from Biden, and for a brief moment I thought she would. Then she shifted to the right to draw in centrists.

    Users here can stick their heads in the sand all they want, but like with the Clinton campaign, it won't change the election outcome.

    She's handing Trump the race by imitating Biden. I say this as someone who will likely vote for her anyway: this is becoming a disaster for her. She cannot afford to lose Muslim voters in Michigan, and the continued bleeding of Hispanic voters spells even longer-term problems for the party.

  • Does Trump Have Momentum?

  • On this site? Users of Lemmy in denial of her alienation of voters. She started strong and then pissed all of that good will away by announcing she's just going to be a continuation of the Biden Israel policy.

    And before anyone says "oh, the Biden administration is pushing for a ceasefire". Nobody takes that seriously. You can't push for a ceasefire and rhetorically and materially enable the annihilation of Gaza and the invasion of Lebanon. Any ceasefire proposals are performative.

  • Yep. I have access to everything else, just can't view Youtube while signed in.

    I disabled my adblock for YT, but I still use privacy badger and occasionally a VPN.

  • Good to know. Even if it does get unsuspended, I'm taking it as a wake up call. If that was my gmail account I would've been in a bad situation. I use it for almost everything.

  • Arkansas Supreme Court Denies Bid to Get Abortion Measure on the Ballot

    Jump

  • The other shenanigans was that the secretary of state allowed other petitioners with the same issues to proceed on the ballot, namely marijuana and gambling referendums. The organizers should have been on their best behavior because the state was always going to selectively enforce the rules here.

  • Harris picks Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate

    Jump

  • Shapiro has a sexual harassment coverup allegation (for a close aide, not himself) and what appears to be serious mismanagement of a stabbing case, where a woman's death was initially ruled a murder, but ultimately his office refused to re-examine the case. It's going before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, and might be heard before the election. Harris doesn't need an October Surprise to derail her momentum if it makes Shapiro look bad.

  • ‘Rust’ Case Against Alec Baldwin Is Dismissed Over Withheld Evidence

    Jump

  • I don't think she planned on getting caught. This was a once in a lifetime case for her. Securing a conviction would elevate her career substantially. It's not unprecedented for prosecutors to engage in this kind of misconduct.

    That said, most Brady violations are from incompetence rather than malice. Tons of evidence--not just exculpatory--has been lost by poorly trained or lazy investigators.

  • ‘Rust’ Case Against Alec Baldwin Is Dismissed Over Withheld Evidence

    Jump

  • If Baldwin provided all the ammo used, it increases the likelihood he is convicted by a jury. This ammo would've been provided to the Armorer by a third party, without his knowledge. At trial, the defense could have made any number of arguments that Baldwin had no way of knowing live ammunition was on set because an outside individual brought it to the set.

    In any case, it's a clear Brady violation. The prosecutor has a constitutional duty to provide exculpatory evidence to the defense. It's not up to them to decide if it will be enough to establish reasonable doubt.

    What the prosecution did was place this evidence under a new, case & number for a non-existent crime. They never had any intention of investigating the case that ammo was assigned to. The only reasonable conclusion one can draw was the prosecution deliberately obfuscated the relationship that ammo had to Baldwin's case to avoid providing it.

    In an already highly attenuated case, and with overwhelming evidence that Baldwin's rights were violated, there can be no fair trial going forward. From the perspective of the law, once the prosecution has been found to have violated Brady deliberately, there can never be due process for the defendant.

  • I did the same thing. The first privacy-oriented service I heard about was Proton. And, to be fair, they're quite good. But the email search issues and struggles I had with their bridge eventually turned me off.

    I left for mailbox(.)org and haven't looked back. It's great Proton has so many cool services, but the last thing I want is to get dependent on one company again, not after how hard it was to get away from Google.

  • I kinda don't want to dip my toes in this, but here goes:

    I agree that it's occasionally a breath of fresh air. The issue I've always had with Hexbear is they've more or less replaced one version of American (and to a lesser extent European) exceptionalism with another. Where American nationalists consider America to be exceptionally great, Hexbear considers it to be exceptionally evil. They routinely attribute domestic incidents in different countries to American meddling--regardless of evidence--even when those events either achieve nothing for American geostrategic goals or actively harm them. America as the "great Satan," etc.

    Just an example because I remember it: Imran Khan lost an internal power struggle in Pakistan. He was probably the most west-friendly candidate left there, but Hexbear blamed a CIA coup https://hexbear.net/post/186331

    In the same vein, they permit or even encourage Chinese aggression against the Philippines, within the Philippines' own exclusive economic zone. You can't substitute one form of imperialism for another. It's a trap I see a lot of leftists fall into.

    I think most of 'em are alright. Just growing into leftist thought still and grappling with the moshpit that is international politics. Also they're funny lol
