“as we accumulate more information about someone, our understanding of the relationship needs to evolve.” instead of holding onto the imaginary friend.

Robert Caro’s paragraph on the KKK’s presence in Long Island in the 1920s is the most evocative aside of The Power Broker, imo. Less than 100 years ago these voters’ parents and grandparents made Suffolk County the single most powerful Klan chapter outside the South
As a Long Island native (from a deep red part) this map fascinates me. LI is the Deep South broken up by occasional Black (deep blue Hempstead/Freeport), Latino (eg blue Bay Shore), and Jewish (blue Syosset, Plainview) areas, plus the liberal mecca of the Hamptons/North Fork.

i fully believe emotional regulation is about knowing what response is proportionate to the situation, not about being silent and repressed all the time
People need to stop treating emotional regulation as an obligation to remain endlessly accessible to disrespect.

Marriage isn't really about finding the most compatible person. That's a very modern misconception. Why? Because we change over time. The experiences and years of our lives transform us into different people. Even if you could find a perfectly compatible person, over the years you would both change in different ways. Don't try to find the person that is most compatible with you. My advice is to choose a spouse on 2 criteria: great friend, great character. No matter how each of you change along the way, friendship and character will hold you together. Next year is my 24th year anniversary. My wife are very different people, but I can't imagine doing life without her. I think Tim Keller put it best in The Meaning of Marriage

You can’t win an argument with your husband or wife. Peterson’s point is simple. If you win, you’ve defeated your spouse, and you two are one, so you’ve defeated yourself. Now you live with someone who’s defeated and bitter. So what do you do if you’re the better arguer? Help your partner make their case. They might be right, and it’s in your interest to hear it. He connects this to loving your enemy and giving the devil his due. Being good at talking doesn’t make you correct, and stomping around insisting you’re right fixes nothing. One of the wisest things anyone has said about marriage.

We avoid contact with reality not just via numbness and withdrawal, but also by giving love to what is not real. We give love to a fantasized future. Or we give love to an idealised past. Or we give love to the illusions we hold on the present. This is why learning how to fall in love with what is real, here and now, can be one of the greatest cures for dissociation. When we give love to what is real, reality becomes lovable.
If you're dating an avoidant partner, there are only two people that they will be the most attracted to, and it's not you. The first one is their past ex. Since the threat of intimacy and conflict and closeness is no longer1/3

This is an incredible watch. Not just the smile but also the eyes. Even Watters can’t believe it.
Watch Jesse’s smile fade micrometer by micrometer as he realizes that yes actually, that is indeed the plan. Watch him slowly realize that his party will never receive votes again. You can literally see his mouth straighten out if you watch the video

She said that if a man starts mentoring you, he wants to marry you. This is an advice for women to stay alert. She also asks ladies to watch out for the signs. Real talk... I kinda believe what she's saying. Intentional men know when they spot the woman they want to marry.

due to his parents not monitoring his internet use at all, my little cousin got really into andrew tate and that redpill shit at AGE TWELVE. we tried to talk to him about it but it did fuck all. however, he did a complete 180° one day when his big sister told him she was gay.
not all little boys are misogynistic abusers like that’s ridiculous to say. but considering how easy porn and redpill content are to find, especially to impressionable kids — paired with growing up in a patriarchal society — it is easy for them to fall down the path of incel-ism

I don’t have kids but…yeah…I get this smh, cracking without understanding how to fix it.
The breaking point nobody warns ADHD adults about isn't college or your first job. It's becoming a parent. That's when the invisible systems that held your life together—last-minute sprints, mental lists, and masking—quietly stop covering the bill. Here is why:

being able to tolerate the truth about yourself changes how you relate to the truth in other people & that kind of honesty can be threatening to someone who is getting their needs met through hiding, avoidance or dishonesty
When you grow out of blaming yourself for everything & hiding behind shame/ it’s very easy to see what you’ve contributed without internalizing the entire situation as a puzzle to solve

She’s better off without an idiot like that, as much as the rejection may sting
Her year long relationship ended after he found out that she voted for Talarico. And she received this gem of a messages

We are NOT doing this anymore. The era of identity weaponization is OVER. Nobody cares that you’re black! We care that you’re an AIPAC and wall street stooge! These dem majorities are going straight down the drain if they’re stupid enough to hand him the gavel.

So let me get this straight you traded a 2027 first to OKC in order to draft Nique… now you’re trading him back to OKC for 2 seconds less than a year and a half later? This is the most Sacramento Kings thing the Sacramento Kings have ever done.
The Sacramento Kings are trading Nique Clifford to the Oklahoma City Thunder for two second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.

AIPAC Shakur was coined by Charlemagne tha God lol
Replying to @kakazodia
Supposed anti-racist casually throwing around “AIPAC Shakur” at their political opponents. Gross. I’m not even a Jeffries booster, or leftist, and I find it in poor taste.
