Yeah, I think she does need more professional help than she’s currently getting (or willing to do). We have couple counselling next week, I’m hoping that it helps he realise she needs more help but that she needs to put the work in for it and that’s going to be hard, because I can’t do it for her.

I have a lot on my plate, not just with her, so I am stretched very thin and I have been up front with her that I can’t do more for her, but that shed also part of the problem and it needs to change, one way or the other.

I appreciate you taking the time to say these things, thank you for your response.

I think I really needed to see this today.

My partner, whom I love dearly, suffers from quite severe mood swings that can last days and even weeks. When she’s in this low moods, she’s impossibly irrational about everything and I immediately have to walk on egg shells because anything I say might get taken severely out of context and misconstrued as something else, causing her to spiral even more.

During these times, she spends most of her time hols up in bed, usually in a mixture of physical and emotional pain.

I’m exhausted, guys. I’ve been living with this for 7+ years now and there’s no end to it.

I worry if I end the relationship, she’s going to be unable to look after herself and that weighs heavily on me because I don’t see how that ends well. But things don’t get better, either, I’m just trapped in this spiral and don’t know what to do.

Every accusation is a confession. Wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out Trump wasn’t a US citizen.

They’re terrible for women as well, just in a very different way.

What is it they say, dating apps for men are like being in a desert looking for anything they can drink.

Dating apps for women are like being in a swap; plenty to drink but none of it good.

I know it’s sometimes a bad word around these parts, but that’s exactly how bluesky works. There’s a whole bunch of community provided lists that you can use to both find content and people you’re interested in and filter out the stuff you’re not. It is a first class feature and works very well. To give some idea, I never even knew JD Vance joined the platform because he was instantly filtered out for me. Bliss.

Regardless of how you feel about the platform itself, those community lists prove a really good model that works and I’ve had (mostly) positive experiences on that platform as a result.

Oh wow, so guy explains that he did it because the fediverse is so toxic by making a super toxic post. Right.

I am not on the list! I’m actually rather annoyed.

Whose girlcock do I gotta suck to get put on the cool list?

He’s not a moron. I don’t know why people keep saying Trump is a moron, he’s one of the most successful grifters and con artists that ever lived. No moron could do that.

No, you see, Trump says moronic shit all the time but that doesn’t make him a moron, his brain-dead base that fucking believes it are the morons.

Trump keeps saying the most moronic shit and they continue to believe him. If you wanted to fleece as many people as possible and they believe everything you say, no matter how fucking stupid, you’ll continue to say stupid shit and keep that gift going.

Their actions aren’t your fault, don’t beat yourself up about it.

And misogyny.

This has been my experience as well, not just with myself but with most of my friends who are also clearly on the spectrum.

Fucking nerds, man.

Reminds me a little of the PS3 days when people claimed it to be “unhackable”, especially after the 360 had drive hacks for years and the PS3 had basically nothing.

Then Sony decided to remove Linux support from the PS3 and all of a sudden, the PS3 got a lot of attention from very clever people and it was discovered that not only was it hackable, it had incredibly shit security and the exploits started dropping on a near weekly basis.

The best exploit being the famous “public private keys” talk that showed Sony has completely fucked their encryption, meaning they leaked their own private keys, allowing anyone to install CFW like it was an official FW.

The lesson here is don’t give the clever people a reason to do the thing you don’t want them to do or by golly they’ll do it.

A lot of comments here from people saying they could do better, not a lot of people stepping up though!

I feel bad for anyone trapped in a situation where you can’t be your authentic self and live out your best life in the open, but Graham made his bed, was a fucking horrible human being and I hope he had a miserable life. Good riddance.

Real cat owner here.

Apps being bundled with drivers is not that new. I swore off Razer hardware years ago because their fucking keyboard decided to install a bloated app alongside it - during OS installation as well! A blocking installer, fucked up my unattended install.

Pretty much, also means Farage can’t claim that the people have shown they don’t care about his money because he was voted in a second time.

What can happen is if Farage wins, the investigation continues and there’s a very real chance he’ll be suspended so another election will be called.

Each election costs about 450k of public money, so Count Binface can say that just by electing him and him doing literally nothing, he’s saving the public nearly half a million quid.

SkyBet and paddy power.

I agree, but I don’t see any advantage to the US warning Iran about Israel here. I’m not entirely sure what Iran could even do with this information, so it’s interesting (if true) that the US would say anything at all.

We nearly bought one as well but went for an EV6 instead (which is basically the same car in a different shell), in the UK. The turning circle was definitely a concern but honestly has been fine.
