My big ex left me for a rich guy customer she met at work selling high end watches, who dumped her a couple years later. She’s now fat and alone at 40.
Her once traumatic “you know this hurts me too” parting line puts a smile on my face now. Sometimes following your exes is fun.
Like, it’s not like she took a kid, or sullied my name, or took money, or ruined the life of anyone close to me. She just kinda deliberately and very dramatically broke my heart.
I’m fine now; it definitely altered the course of my life and definitely caused a lot of pain, struggle, isolation, depression, humiliation, anxiety, etc. And a decade ago I was sure I hoped she’d face the same. Well she’ll face all of what she put me through… And way more… Under the threat of death.
It felt like finding out your hero is a fraud, if that makes sense. Like “Oh, this is actually not what I wanted at all. This is not cool. This sucks. And is actually pretty depressing.”
I agree that you should not wish harm on them, but don’t downplay how bad heartbreak can be. It affects both your physical and mental health, and I’m certain the latter of which can last a long time, not so sure if the physical health gets affected as permanently or not. Anyway, mental health damage alone can have terrible effects on your life.
Also, the other things you mentioned are bad too, but those usually happen in addition to heartbreak, so it’s easy to think that those are worse but heartbreak aside they have their own level of terribleness.
Considering how big our military is and how much of NATO we are, yeah, unironically it is a redistribution of US wealth to protect a huge portion of the world. The good kind of redistribution involves missiles I guess?
My long term friend is a Palestinian and I very well know what monstrosity is Zionist Project, that Israel and its Anglo backers have been wanting to do since 1948 in Palestine. USA, Britain, France and numerous others are responsible for this.
There is no war, there has only been genocide and colonisation since nearly 80 years, and there has only been one side backing it - Anglo/West. The same people who drew lines and flags for Arab countries, and the same people who made Arab Spring happen.
YOU are the ignorant pseudointellectual fuck talking shit on matters with 0 knowledge.
There is no respect for siding with the Zionist agenda to want a country erased off of the world map, and for its millions of original inhabitants to be displayed by American/European genocidal colonialists.
If by “protect” you mean extract resources and concession from a huge portion of the world and redistribution from US tax payers to Military contractors.
No. I mean use them as forward operating bases. We subsidize the defense of a huge portion of the world, particularly NATO members, because they’re strategically important.
Not for the Jews. Zionism and Islamic anti-Semitism and the violence from these movements predates the British trying to find a solution. However mishandled it was. They are two ideologies fundamentally opposed to one another, and they are incapable of coexistence in their current forms.
Every should know about the Sykes–Picot Agreement, it’s one of those treaties/laws that have long lasting consequences in the current world (same with ww2 agreements).
With the power of spices… I lived in an apartment with Indians as neighbours 2 floors beneath.
There wasn’t a single day when you couldn’t smell all spices combined when you walked past their apartment. It was … an interesting smell…😮💨 I don’t believe they could smell/taste the original flavours of their food
I see the seasoning police has arrived. It’s funny and also sad that you think normal food flavors are “bland.” Better drown everything in Lawry’s seasoned salt and Dr Buttblast.
I used to work with a guy from Pakistan, my car would smell of curry for a week after a couple days of driving about with him. I could tell that he’d been back to his hotel room by the lingering smell in the hallway.
"I would love to live here"photo looks like a typical suburb - with a population density that is at a level where everyone still needs to own a car. I’m thinking European cities like Bern. Most people don’t need one to get to work but basically every household still needs one for non-work use.
Car-free population density should be more like minor Japanese cities (like Kanazawa, etc), or old towns in Europe (downtown Bordeaux).
David Benioff and DB Weiss are the two dumbos that ruined game of thrones. I don’t like that they’re abbreviated to be confused with the ttrpg Dungeons and Dragons, but it’s what the internet decided.
Yeah, that’s what bothers me. Feels like people romanticize pre-Musk Twitter, when in reality, its always just been complete garbage. Musk’s Twitter is certainly worse in some ways, though that isn’t saying a lot.
Overall, Twitter just sucks. Use other platforms where possible.
Yea, I have my issues with Lemmy too ever since the Israel/Palestina conflict got violent again so my by far favorite and most used is Mastodon, to me that feels like a supirior Microblogging site that actually dose things different and doesn’t just try to reimplement Twitter!
