<<< That's a proper Therapy Bear ... go ahead test it, it's completely indestructable, flame proof, machine washable and will withstand spin and hot air driers :-)
You'd have to be able to cook better than I can myself for that to enter into the equation.
As for 'lightening up' ... you could try that yourself, consider the guys who contact you as men rather than subjects for professional analysis. Nothing is more obvious more quickly than the woman who's sole goal on being at a dating site is to 'find something wrong' with each and every man.
What's it called ... misandry ... and rarely gets a mention !
You're a looney left wing stoner who lives in the swamp ... yeah, yeah you would have us all listen to you and ignore more serious, independent intelligent writers eh?
There was a time when we just acknowledged the obvious things in ordinary language ... like that every village had it's idiot, that some people were a sandwich short of a picnic .
We said those those things understanding that people were 'different' and there was never any malice in it ...
Then we get the heady mix of psychiatric diagnoses ( opinions from drug peddling a*ses ) and political correctness ( limitations on what can be said imposed by politically motivated a*ses ) and that's led to a full blown pandemic of 'helpless' and 'hopeless' people who have been told that they have no hope of recovery ever.
The justice systems of most civilised countries do not, except in very rare circumstances, allow a person to be imprisoned without hope of release ... and yet psychiatrists can impose such sentence without even a trial?
Well, we'll agree to differ ... though it seems to me that much of what you are actually doing is to pretend that I said something other than I actually said and then agreeing with what i actually DID say :-)
You CAN change your behaviour ... and when you do that then others have to alter 'how they relate to The New You' and very often they cannot or will not do that and they simply leave our lives.
But you CANNOT force change on any other person ... you'll get passive or aggressive resistance, you may even gain 'compliance' for a short time, but you will never ever change another person!
Net trolls are like any other vermin ... take away the ready food supply and they move on.
IF you and others continue to 'feed the trolls' then you're part of, and contributing to the very problem that you're complaining about.
This is usually called a self - defeating behaviour
At one time 'occupational therapy' was indeed the order of the day ...
My ole mum nursed in a mental facility for many years and 'such work as the individuals were capable of' was seen to be of profound assistance in helping people to manage their own states and in some cases even formed a route to such recovery as was possible.
'Basket weaving' was one of those occupation and there's no doubt of it's therapeutic value - it demands concentration 'in the moment' ... if the person is concentrating on a task at hand then they're not (for that period) involved with their own internal states (of disorder / trauma etc) and as well there's a 'finished product' at the end which is the tangible result of their own efforts and developing skill level.
"The need to be productive" exists in all of us from a very young age ... it's seen, for example, when children want to help their parents and parents who take time to share their skills ( at a child appropriate level) usually have the best outcomes for their kids.
Nowadays The System provides little for people who are a disadvantage 'mentally' and, as The System is run by accountants and economists it's regrettable that there is so little real concern (at the highest levels it's about $ cost effectiveness) That not only hurts those in need, it also results in horrendous burnout amongst those who are employed to care and 'deliver' such service as they are able. The results can be seen in the increasing numbers of people who year on year are suffering and being declared as 'sufferers of mental un-wellness'
That's before making any mention of the high rates of iatrogenic illness created by psychiatry and it's supporting Allied Industries
Naming them just adds power to their elbow ... it tells that you noticed and are affected by their comments!
But, as well as that, when you use 'mysoginistic' do you truly understand the meaning of the word?
Definition - Misogyny is typically an unconscious hatred that men form early in life, often as a result of a trauma involving a female figure they trusted.
What you see here is mostly (probably) not misogyny at all ... it's just the weak and foolish demonstrating their own primary school level of immaturity and their inability to 'get what they want' because they're ignorant of the norms of decent social conduct. It's at the level of 'ponytail pulling' on an international scale.
There also exists the risk (considerable) that when you join in yourself ... well, many will think it's a dark strategy to try and make yourself look good in the eyes of women ... and that includes many of the smarter women who've seen it all before!
But, it's your choice ... if you can't handle the heat then maybe you're better off working in a cold store than a kitchen ... only you can decide that, but in general the net is a hot rather than a cool place !
Better idea (IMHO) relax, chill, let the loonies fight amongst themselves and just don't get drawn into it. Much can be learned through simple observation here ;)
If you saw two guys having a verbal battle on the street you'd not go get yourself involved - all that would happen is that you give them a 'common enemy' and both turn their attention on you!
Likewise in a restaurant ... there's something on the menu that you don't enjoy ... you don;t order it eh?
So ... choose what / whose threads you read and if there's stuff you don't enjoy don't eat it (ie don't get involved with it ) ?
And if you leave ... good luck to ya, I suspect wherever you go you'll see similar !
Yes, but actually Lindsy he only paraphrased what Mr Putin said some years ago when asked by German journalists if he were a friend or foe of the west
Putin " I am not your friend, I am not your bride or your groom, I am president of Russia a country of 146million people who have certain national interests ... national interests are not the same as personal friendship"
Somehow, I can't help but think that such arrangements are planning for an expected breakdown in the marriage... but of course I can also understand the perceived 'wisdom' in financial self protection.
When we see the likes of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard ... well, one has to wonder about her 'real intentions' at the time of the marriage ?
And of course one has to wonder what one earth was HE thinking not to have noticed !!!
I guess if their heads were so cold as to affect brain function ... then the mission could be compromised, loss of consciousness due to hypothermia ... that sort of thing?
Do you recall the old style flying jackets and pants that pilots and aircrew used to wear ... leather, wool fleece lined and all that ... not really the dress uniform as seen in movies
The early talks centred on the rights of other EU citizens to remain in UK and vice versa .
But for people who want to move after Brexit is completed then no doubt there'll be 'normal' visa and residence applications to undergo and the 'ordinary' health n wealth' checks. Many EU countries have sizeable expat Brit communities and it would not make sense economically to displace those people - the losers would be the countries themselves.
Some countries of course will be RS holes and make life difficult for Brits, but what's new ... it's almost part of established french tradition to be rude to the rosbifs!
If it happens ... no doubt the Brits will Strike Back !
I guess anyone can view, and there are always ways of cheating the system but I'll not publicise those, just report em to Admin ... it's better than an acid bath for disposals
They were fur lined leather helmets ... no impact protection at all, but those days the cockpit was unheated and y'd not wanna freeze to death on the way to your death eh ???
2) Quit whining about it - no one loves a whiner eh?
3) Realise that if a person makes a decision to exclude you then that's their right ... finding ways to try and circumvent their choices to get in touch suggests selfishness, a lack of respect and a manipulative nature.
4) Return to 1 above and repeat cycle until a sensible approach is developed
After being stung by the lady who told me how much she saved by dining out at the expense of men from a local site here in NZ, I altered tack and 'first meetings ' now are always coffee dates.
If we get along then I'd invite and as the extender of the invitation I'd expect to pick up the tab.
If she offers / insists then experience shows she probably doesn't want to meet again ... so it's wise to accept n cut the loss!
