Life before death

Heinlein wrote a lot of characters in his novels who were there to make you think, right or wrong or otherwise. I'm not so sure he himself was wrong, but he wasn't trying to be right. He just wanted us to think.

Anyone but You. I hate rom-coms but this one did have a few lols.

M is so close to Revolution Radio by Green Day

Brandon Sanderson offers many of his ebooks on bookshop.org DRM-free: https://bookshop.org/beta-search?keywords=Brandon+Sanderson

No. Different instances having similar communities is a good thing. Otherwise we get back to Reddit, which we don't want.

For Virginia: dashcam can be mounted on the windshield so long as it's behind the rear view mirror. It can't block the space between the mirror and the dash. I don't think police will pull you, they never pulled me for it in the years mine was mounted that way (only a little below the mirror), but state inspector will move it to the side or tell you to move it. My current BlackVue is completely hidden by the mirror so no problem.

I was at work in Crystal City VA, less than a mile from the Pentagon, on 9/11.

Pete Walker’s website is a great resource.

May I plug my community? [email protected] would love more conversation. No current politics allowed :)

I wonder the same thing!

I don’t recommend this book for an intro to RAH, because about halfway through stuff starts happening that makes no sense without reading some other books first. Methuselah’s Children and Time Enough For Love, at least. The first is a great intro to RAH, the second is a bit heavy but can be done— as one of his later books it gets into some controversial ideas he liked to write about.

We meet Pixel, a small yellow kitten, in Robert Heinlein’s The Cat Who Walks Through Walls. This cat is the basis of my username and I’m always excited to meet another Pixel-owned human who got the name from this book.

I also like the possibility of new Heinlein fans. ;)

Is this by chance a Heinlein kitty? ❤️

American Made 2?

If she’s been like this before she underwent all this, then she was already treating you very badly and recent events only made it worse. I’m not any kind of doctor so I won’t throw around diagnoses, but I recognize these behaviors from other people describing what they’ve experienced from people who were emotionally and physically abusing them. I’ve also experienced some myself from being emotionally abused and neglected.

This sounds like abuse to me. You are being abused and manipulated maliciously and therapy can help you get through this. I was diagnosed with cPTSD, complex post traumatic stress disorder, which is PTSD that happens after long term trauma (especially in childhood, which is mine). Years with an abusive partner could definitely affect you this way.

You deserve a life of happiness. The sooner you get into therapy, the sooner you can get to happiness, or at least away from abuse. You are not going to change her.
