    There’s a bunch of non metallic colours that make cars look like toys right now and it’s not limited to one brand. It is absolutely a trend right now. I suggest you lot need to stop living under rocks. Sure the rent is cheaper but hey, some shit is going on out here. Just sayin.




  • Haven’t watched but going by your description alone : absolutely and I think it’s necessary.

    Your closest person could be ok with most topics except for a few that maybe you talk to a therapist about as this person would incredibly sensitive with said topics to the point they’d have a meltdown or have very limited experience and start giving terrible and/or biased advice on. And maybe you care about all the other aspects about this person enough that you just save it for the therapist. EG: family trauma, mental illness, etc. and the therapist relationship, while different and not as deep, it can functionally overlap these missing parts and give you what you need to share it.

    Or maybe that person does understand but can’t find the right language and say it in the way you need or want to hear it. Or you could have issues trying to share your perspective. Again: what a trained therapist can help you with.

    And that is fair. I think we need to understand and respect the limitations of the people we love and respect our own boundaries about such topics. There’s only so far you can stretch a person or the relationship with them. It’s healthy to recognize this.

    It’s also important to realize that no one other person on earth is going to be your entire witness of your life. Especially when they are already witnessing their own life. Equally: You are your full witness. This is your journey. You’re just sharing part of your ride with other people.

    Only thing is the genetics. his dad lived well into the 90s with dementia, they had to hole him up in a basement in a pretend office to keep him from damaging himself and others.

    That said Fred jr. died of a heart attack super young. However it required a hefty case of alcoholism. As far as I know trump doesnt drink. You’d think that the food he eats would suffice but he’s almost lived twice as long as his brother with such a bad habit.

    Expanding on the second point: we are what we focus on. if you are practicing to be the type of person who believes people are bad you look for the evidence of bad in people. “Everyone lets me down”. To do this requires discounting and avoiding and ignoring the good that people do.

    This means if you do this sort of thing you’re also not that great of a person.

    Just imagine being on the other side of it: think of all the nice things you might do for such a person and got overlooked because they focus on complaining about all the bad people in their life all just to prove people are bad.
