It Took Divorce to Make My Marriage Equal | Glamour

She was proud of it. I knew she was mentally ill when I married her, but she had hid the severity of it. Her wealthy parents were kind enough to let me pick up her therapy costs, and never helped us financially. She quit her job and coerced me to pay for everything while she went back for an MSW. A new anti-depressant eliminated intimacy. The third session of counseling brought her request for divorce. I was only too happy to oblige.

Is catching Covid now better than more vaccine? [bbc.com]

racocn8 comments on Aug 21, 2021:

I have not heard of any attempts to assess the specific damage caused by the spike proteins the body makes after getting vaccinated. Hopefully, the intramuscular injections limits the travel and exposure. Getting an actual Covid infection exposes you to these same spike proteins, but you have no control over how much the virus replicates, where it replicates, nor the amount of spike proteins that can inflame and destroy blood vessels (vasculature). It's true some people seem asymptomatic, but some asymptomatic victims have been found to have significant damage. It is quite likely that a great deal more covid is going around without people knowing it. Vaccinated people could be spreading it without realizing it, just as un-vaccinated people do. We may well be getting boosters, but it is still inadvisable to seek covid out for such a ' booster '.

I am NOT kidding, trying to pull your leg, etc, etc, when I tell this, it IS 110% the Truth.

Anyone here care to contradict the FBI ?

racocn8 comments on Aug 20, 2021:

Given that elements of the FBI facilitated the attempted coup, they can hardly be considered an authoritative source. Please note that the FBI pulled every punch Trump deserved during his tenure, not least of which including the Mueller Report. Note that the FBI is no longer constrained by Trump being president. The FBI is entirely free to indict Trump on the 10 obstruction of justice charges detailed in the first half of Mueller's Report. The FBI also illegally allowed Trump to abuse its offices for political purposes when it contrived investigations into Hunter Biden and into those on Mueller's team that investigated Trump's Russian conspiracy. Again, the corruption observed within the FBI must figure into claims that the U.S. Capitol attack was not coordinated. There is plenty of evidence to the contrary, so such claims further harm the FBI's reputation.

The yoke of paternalistic patriarchy has been rejected, and very few will put it back on.

racocn8 comments on Aug 18, 2021:

I'll play devil's advocate and say that the mission-creep that devolved into nation-building was doomed from the start. That being said, we could and should have kept enough military there to defend themselves and to keep the Taliban in check. My understanding is that the US had been doing that for the last few years without too many US casualties. We station many more thousands of soldiers in other countries for nothing more than economic aid to said countries. Having a base in Afghanistan would certainly have strategic value, and would show some willingness to stand up against religious psychotics. I'm betting that most of the cited trillions spent were diverted elsewhere, and/or wasted on futile nation building. Again, I believe we should look at Afghanistan as an object lesson against our own situation wherein religious fanatics hope to overturn the government in favor of them getting and keeping power thereafter. Will the US also fold like a cheap suit?

But the whole thing is probably deeper than that, relating to the need of the DOD to siphon off money for black projects. I suspect Afghanistan was a tool for that activity. It is tragic that our soldiers and the Afghanis pay with their lives for the games played by the CIA.

racocn8 comments on Aug 16, 2021:

I don't agree with the concept of this scale; agnosticism and atheism are different issues. I believe that 6 is the closest to a scientific understanding. The claim that God is very improbable may be tempered by arguments for fine tuning; the multiverse is imaginative and fun, but has as much evidence as God (none). Point 4 is a strong and improper claim, that a god's existence or non-existence are equally probable. Aside from the fine tuning, absence of evidence is strong evidence of absence (not proof, but evidence). A pure agnostic would say they don't and probably cannot know. Maybe from a statistical or Bayesian point of view, that means they are equally probable, but what we see does provide arguments for and against.
