My phones autocorrect has been garbage recently. I feel like a few years ago, it was much better at predicting what I meant to type, and I could easily edit on mobile using the suggested corrections. But now it is worse. Even with words or names I use all the time.
3·2 months ago“Bending the knee” means kneeling before (usually) royalty. It’s a physical representation that the person standing deserves respect and therefore the person has lowered themselves to the ground on one knee.
Isn’t this what his employees have been saying about him for years? From what I understand, he comes up with ideas using his super genius big boy brain. He then puts insane deadlines and requirements on his employees (the engineers actually doing the work). Then, he’ll want to alter the design and expect immediate compliance and ridicule them for not being as intelligent as he wants them to be.
He is running Doge like one of his businesses. But it is an entirely different thing, and shockingly moving quickly and breaking things destabilizes a govorning structure. Who knew? /s

2·2 months agoI didn’t endorse being delusional about your looks. I told her to stop disparaging herself.
Any man who leaves his romantic partner with the thought that she is unloveable trash is not a good guy.
Congratulations on your relationship and being able to insult one anothers looks and still respect one another. This is clearly not the case with OP. Thank you for reinforcing that she isn’t pretty and introducing the novel idea that she can make herself look prettier if she only puts in effort!
Not helpful, but thank you for your opinion!
Ok, I don’t know you personally. But, I feel like we have gotten to know each other a bit here. So I will be direct here. You need to stop disparaging yourself. I don’t care if you look like Nosfuratu or Sasquatch! No one deserves to go through life thinking they might be unlikeable trash. And from what you have written here, it is obvious you are a caring and articulate person worthy of love.
Being open and honest about being shallow makes you a bad person. I have seen your other comments defending him because telling the truth doesn’t make you a bad person. Being honest doesn’t have to mean you are mean. I know his other good attributes masked the negativity. But you need to start reframing him in your thoughts as an asshole ex-boyfriend. He is a jerk. Full stop. No questions asked. On the scale of bad ex-boyfriends he might not compare to the pscho stalker guys, but I assure you, he is on the list.
Listen, I know the dating scene is rough right now. There are way too many men who have the audacity to think they are better than the women they date. But you have to start building the foundations of a good relationship by thinking positively about yourself first.
No decent human thinks like that. And certainly a good person wouldn’t say it, even in the heat of an argument to hurt you.
You can say most men think it, but frankly, most men aren’t worth dating if they have an attitude like this. I think this guy has warped your perspective. You are worth way more than whatever he was providing in this relationship. It is becoming increasingly clear from your responses that he falls incredibly short of ‘perfect guy’ or ‘prodigy’ territory.
Alright, you dodged a bullet. Better to be single than with a man like that.
Well, now he just sounds like a turd. It isn’t normal to quantify acts of love and use them as a metric of comparison. You do them because you care about the person. It sounds like he needs to figure himself out before he can have a functioning relationship, and it makes sense that he has commitment issues.
Yes, they tend to adjust their personality to suit the person they are talking to. Adapting to match someone enthusiasm for a subject, and just generally blending really well with whoever they are coomunicating with.
I find these people are often very easy to like. However, they don’t know themselves well enough to be a great relationship partner because they spend too much time trying to be cohesive with the other person.
Sorry, I realize I got caught up in my own ramblings and didn’t define the term.
My little sister recently went through a similar breakup. The wound is still very fresh in her case. I will tell her this information in time, but she is in the processing phase right now. So if you’ll indulge me, here is a little advice from a big sister on break-ups with ‘the perfect guy’.
Often, guys like this are chameleons. I have seen a few people like this in my life. Wonderful, charismatic people who make the person they are talking to at the time feel like they are standing in the glow of sunshine. They aren’t being manipulative or intentionally trying to love bomb the person. It is just in their nature to be agreeable and find meaningful connections with people.
You mentioned other acquaintances feeling like he was a wonderful guy. It is completely possible that he is a great, intelligent, funny guy with whom you had a great connection. And yet, he did not feel as deeply as you because he connects so easily with most people he interacts with.
In your own words, he “cared about me more than my own mom” and yet “wasn’t good enough for him and he didn’t want to continue the relationship.” It seems there is a disconnect between how deeply you felt he loved you, and how much you loved him. This is where a lot of the pain and sadness comes from in the breakup. When that glow of sunshine you were basking in is gone, the shadow feels especially cold.
I do not know anything about your relationship aside from what you have described. However, I fear you have fallen into a mentality of thinking no one else could ever compare to him. I have seen people dating ‘the perfect guy’ (Top of his class Harvard, D1/pro athlete, sexy charismatic surgeon…prodigy in the eyes of many) and yet, he wasn’t the right person for their relationship. People who are accustomed to being the best at everything make really good chameleons. They want to be the best at friendships and relationships, too.
I do not want to tarnish your relationship, or discredit the pain that it brought you. I want to highlight the fact that there are other men out there that are absolutely a better, more unique fit for a loving relationship with you. A lot of the successful relationships I have seen are between people whose glow shines more exclusively on their romantic partner. Often times friends and acquaintances will say things like “I don’t get it.” Rather than him being so obviously great to everyone, he will be more specifically great for you.
All that being said, what to do next? Focus on you. Fall in love with yourself for the time being. Do what makes you happy, and the right person will be pulled into your orbit because you know yourself and what brings you joy. Your late 20’s are just the beginning of the adventure.
It’s interesting to see the hate for this pope from both sides. I’ve seen many comments from the atheist perspective, rightfully calling out his protection of child molestors and rapists. And at the same time, read comments from “religious” people excited for his death because he dared to be liberal on a few points.
Damned if you don’t, damned if you do. I guess. /s
Almost like a singular figurehead interpreting ancient texts for application in the modern world doesn’t work.
Executive orders don’t work for things like reigning in corporate greed. They work for everything else. But helping a large portion of the nations backbone? Can’t do it. Won’t even try.

Batya Ungar-Sargon insisted. “This is a man with Aspergers exuberantly throwing his heart to the crowd. We don’t need to invent outrage.”
This is a man who has been in the public eye for decades. He has given speeches to crowds before. At no point has he spontaneously seig heiled as a means of expressing emotions before. He knew exactly what he was doing. He felt secure surrounded by this crowd and took the opportunity to make a statement… and they fucking cheered.
It makes me want to throw up. I am exhausted by these articles. It reminds me of the narcissits prayer. -That didn’t happen. -And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. -And if it was, that’s not a big deal. -And if it is, that’s not my fault. -And if it was, I didn’t mean it. -And if I did, you deserved it. They give him an inch and he takes a mile.
This is the most incredibly selfish thing I could possibly imagine. An old man moping about his inability to cling to power for another minute. As the next generations look on, begging for someone to act.
He paints Trump as a villain (rightfully so) but is so pathetic that he is unable to rise to any heroism. At least go out swinging.
Don’t know what I expected. But it is a slap in the fucking face to hear this.
I wish that would affect them. Even just to pause and reflect. They won’t. It hasn’t been about the teachings of Christ for a long time.
Where the hell did they find this guy? Did he get the position purely based on the fact that he looks like the villain in a WW2 movie?
I know he has been in Trump’s orbit for a while, but seriously. Was there no one else remotely qualified?
The old ball and chain! Am I right?
“Can’t meet you guys at the bar for drinks we are about to bomb Yemen. Don’t wait up, my boy JD and I are going to get blackout drunk and try to drift a motorcade vehicle around the lincoln memorial.” Or something to that effect.
