It does? You think I took the flag off the firehouse property? Keep flailing, rube. đ
Why because Vivek got some money from a scholarship associated with a relative of Soros?
In that case, hereâs a shocker. Businessman Donald Trump lined up three New York hedge funds to invest $160 million in his Chicago Trump Towerâincluded money from George Soros.
So does that mean that President Trump was doing Sorosâ bidding as president? I think not. Same for Vivek Ramaswamy. It was just a scholarship, that, by the way, he couldâve afforded on his own.
Vivek owes Soros nothing.
Problem is, I had no idea who the flag belonged to when I took it down, and Iâm not even sure it was theirs anyway. It wasnât hanging near the fire house or anything that would give me any reason to believe that they hung it up there (not that I would have ever suspected them anyway). He didnât indicate that it was his when he demanded it.
I took down the false alarm on public properly. Thatâs it. No matter how much you badger me, I still donât care what you think. Youâre a waste of air with no hope nor prospects and your life will never amount anything.
A liar and a thief. Tell me; whatâs it like riding your bicycle to work?
Itâs pretty great. Better than sitting around and being a fat angry slob like you.
Tell me, have you ever considered driving a car to work like a man would?
I live a few miles from the office, so that would it would be pretty stupid to pay $75/week for parking when I can get myself there for free with some exercise. I realize a stupid, fat man like you would drive anyway, provided that you were even employable in the first place.
If youâre trying to save $100 a month at the expense of behaving like a grown man, that says a lot about your âcareerâ and your emotional immaturity. Hereâs some advice, listen to the wife and get some counseling.
$75/week = $100/month ???? đđđ
Youâre dumber than a box of rocks.
Men drive to work. A child rides a bicycle.
Do real men stop learning math in first grade and dredge through old comments of people on the internet who make them mad?
The thing that I just cannot get over is that I just cannot escape the sense of regret that I feel. Regrets that have me questioning all my insecurities about all the decisions I've made from my marriage, which is overall good but far from perfect - probably as is with most married couples. To not starting a family sooner. To not feeling fulfilled in my job and perhaps choosing a different career path. To not spending more time with him when he was healthy.
I think I'm just feeling my mortality in a way that I haven't before and am panicking. I'm 40 years old, so I'm not that old but certainly not that young either.
So, I've made some changes in the last year. I've lost 40 pounds, and if I'm not in the best shape of my life, pretty close to it. I've been working on more professional development at work and at leisure, teaching myself Spanish for the hell of it. My wife found out last weekend that she's pregnant for the first time, so we're both excited and nervous as early stage pregnancies are always far from a safe bet.
I've been feeling better about certain things, but I still feel this crushing and inescapable sense of pressure, despair, regret and loneliness that's only gotten worse despite the positive changes in my life. I just don't know what to do. It's something that others have noticed in my personality too. I see reminders of him everywhere and the grief comes rushing back. It has me wishing I could just go back to an earlier stage in my life and enjoy those things with him again.
I do consider myself a Christian, though my faith has kind of waned in recent years. I was raised Catholic, but between Francis and finding out that the head priest and my role model from my high school was kicked out for fooling around with a male student (he was at least 18, so I heard) has left me rather disillusioned. I wouldn't be opposed to faith based healing, but I'm neither sure nor unsure that it's right for me.
Maybe the best thing is to go see a counselor, as my wife has recommended. Or, maybe it's just something I need to somehow ride out, that I'm just grieving, and it gets better with time, though I'm far from out of the woods yet. But, I'll take whatever advice I can get. Even just writing this helps a little bit.
Thanks in advance for any prayers or advice and for listening.
