The comments about seeing a doctor for depression are coming from a caring place, but the reality of being without work for a while means it’s hard to afford seeing a doctor.

Chemical depression is not exactly something you can work yourself through, there are some people who claim magic mushrooms can help, but I’ve not seen any conclusive studies.

Nobody cares.

Your past posts tell a very clear story, I recall the post you deleted, the language and ideas you present are frankly pretty messed up.

You’re misattributing people’s response to your actions as general philosophies.

There is no way utah and idaho are neutral here

It’s easy to confuse friendship with deeper feelings, human connection is weird.

If you’re not romantically into him, you won’t be in a thruple, you’ll simply be sharing your partner with your friend.

Monagomy isn’t for everyone, and arguably polyamory isn’t for many people at all. I’ve seen a few of these work out but it requires very different mindsets and your mindset right now sounds like it’s on the sexual side (considering it exciting) instead of on the relationship/partnership side. Excitement is short lived, exercise caution.

Don’t ask the internet, talk frankly with all parties involved. Be aware that the relationship may already have expanded past monogamy non consensually.

Why not do it now?

I wouldn’t move to wyoming of all places, for sure, that place is hell on earth. The boston metro area is great for aging, especially as you get well into your 80s and your ability to drive flags. The lack of community infrastructure in wyoming will mean you’ll either die or have to go into a home as you age because how will you get groceries? At least in the boston area you have ready access to taxis and ubers and public transit everywhere.

Don’t forget that the politics of wyoming are vastly vastly different than the boston area, you’re going from one of the most progressive areas in the US to one of the most conservative states.

Living a rural rancher lifestyle requires hardiness and support structures. Most ranchers have generations in the same place, know their neighbors, have local community, etc. You’re coming in as a stranger and people out there hate outsiders coming in. It’s an expensive hobby and a hard job.

If you like dust, fires, wind, drought, mormons, republicans, big rig black cloud trucks, and guns you’ll probably like it.

Huh no kidding

We have one in an upstairs bedroom from midea, the window slides right between the front and back of the unit and it’s excellent. Our power consumption didn’t increase too terribly much and it’s actually decently quiet.

Not gonna put the model here but just look for U shaped window units. It has little legs that go outside.

Don’t get the inside standing units, they’re massive, loud, power hungry, and most of them are less effective than even the cheap window units.

You could monkeypatch some javascript functions like the constructor Date types, but there will always be things not thought of that will leak date info. Hardware identifiers are quite difficult to get in javascript and several browsers already obfuscate that info.

Honestly if you’re very concerned, I really do think a virtual machine is your absolute safest approach, obviously the browsing experience is worse.

We’re all gross, and we’re all ugly, and we all deserve love. You are included in that equation.

I’m sorry for your loss.

Sex is not the only part of a relationship, and being sexually attracted does not mean you should ever feel coerced into it.

Sex is embarrassing, gross, and silly. With the right person that’s okay and worth doing, with the wrong person it’s not. Your feelings of embarrassment are common and you’re not broken or anything.

For me relationships are about comfort and belonging more than physical satisfaction, maybe that’s the thing you’re looking for?

They say there’s somebody for everyone, no matter if you’re pretty or ugly, someone will find you beautiful and love you, try not to let your doubts keep that kind of person away if that’s something you’re hoping for.

On the other hand, relationships are just one flavor in the medley of flavors life has to offer, society may say you have no worth without an SO but that’s patently false.

Can’t think of one single thing that could convince me, since I’m monogamous that’s one of the few true dealbreakers.

A person has to draw the line somewhere.

Lemborexant, similar sleep drugs show promise in treating disorders related to tau, such as Alzheimer’s disease

More broadly, I think it’s appropriate to respond to social overreaching with rudeness.

In situations like these, I tend to just not respond but simply look at them. Awkward for everyone, but not aggressive on my part. Leave the ball in their court, if it’s a simple “could you take a photo” then whatever, but if it’s a less acceptable “could you buy me some smokes” then you’ve not mentally committed.

If the marriage was traditional and the spouse was coerced by either pregnancy or culture to give up aspirations or education, I think alimony is absolutely essential. That person gave up their dreams for a relationship and alimony could help them recover their skills.

If the marriage was modern and both spouses were equally educated and have professions? Alimony is stupid and archaic.

For spousal support I assume you mean while married, I think it’s a weird power dynamic to give a significant other money directly.

Wordpress as a framework is kinda federated, you can host your own server if you want to.

You can look into wysiwyg website editors, self hosting a website with aws and s3 is wicked cheap, and other providers like netlify are also inexpensive to a lesser degree.

Mmm fair point
