To answer your question indirectly, I think you need to learn to stand up and protect yourself. Those are skills, and they’re learned skills. I’m making big assumptions here, but I’m guessing your parents never taught you good boundary setting. A quote that’s gone viral recently is that “[the definitive symptom of childhood trauma is] trying to get a difficult person to be good to us in our adult lives.” You probably don’t believe this internally yet, but you deserve to be treated with kindness. Difficult people do not deserve you.

I love this book in particular, and it’s widely available for free in libraries. https://www.amazon.com/Set-Boundaries-Find-Peace-Reclaiming/dp/0593192095

The therapy take is that this feeling comes about because you grew up in an environment where it wasn’t emotionally/physically safe for you to relax. Even as an adult with well managed/medicated ADHD, the subconscious parts of your brain are still trying to protect you, so no relaxation allowed. imo, this is extra common in ADHD folk because even parts of our own brains were mad at us for not having executive function.

In particularly bad cases, this can rise to the level of being C-PTSD. Feeling unable to relax is a big indicator that whatever is going on in your head needs to be addressed. Therapy is expensive, but there’s ways to get it covered by insurance, especially if you have an ADHD diagnosis.

I think it shows that they’re taking on standard combat roles. The alternative could be them strictly filling non-combat roles, such as logistics/cargo transportation or engineering-type work like building trenches and other fortifications.

We can do better than prison rape jokes :/

Nice! And yeah, this is the first year WA mailed out stickers with the ballots

Echoing the other comment, I don’t think you’re being unreasonable or unfair.

It could also be worth seeking out relationship counseling/therapy for you and Cheddar. My perception from reading your story is that there could be a lot of communication gaps in your relationship(s). But it’s also clear that you’re caring and empathetic, so maybe you’re only missing some tools and strategies for properly harnessing your empathy.

Awesome! Thanks for the detailed update, and I’m glad it worked well for you!

How so?

Truly curious: do you fit the description of a young, female, middle American?

Agreed. Here’s my unsolicited rewrite

What Going on Call Her Daddy Did for Kamala Harris | Podcaster Alex Cooper reaches young, female Middle America in a way conventional news cannot.

Maybe sort by “date” instead of date & site?

Sounds like someone could use some more shut the fuck up Friday in their life 😘

I gotchu: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uqo5RYOp4nQ

The title set my expectations high, and the video somehow managed to deliver 😂

Since others don’t seem to be having this specific issue, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling Sync? Maybe some data on your phone got corrupted? 🤷

That’s an interesting idea. Do you write a blog or something where I can learn more?

Armchair General here. When they moved their aircraft further back, Russia greatly reduced their range and ordnance options while increasing the time Ukraine had to prepare for the strikes. Similarly, Russia splitting up their stockpiles to reduce strike effectiveness will have a significant impact on Russia’s already-strained logistics network. That’s the same reason why a relatively low volume of ATACMS has had such a substantial impact on their ability to wage war.

That is an insane amount of intercepted air assets! Amazing work by the AA teams!!
