Maybe he’s lonely?

Ugh. This might as well be a rick roll. I love it.

As this is Lemmy, I misread the image and came here for Dirty Spock. I’m disappointed now …

If you don’t want kids, you really should listen to that and not be swayed by other sentiments IMHO. You can’t expect your wife to do all the heavy lifting; you will need to step up. And it is hard and unrelenting work to raise children. It’s okay if that’s something you were wanting to do as it can become a source of meaning. If you don’t want to be there it will feel like a trap and there will not be a way out of it. I appreciate that this might mean that you and your wife would need to separate so she could have a chance to have children without you. Its just that important that you go into having children really wanting to do it because if you dont want to do it it will hurt everyone.

Jung didn’t have much to say about self actualization I dont think. it was more Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers. The term refers to what is possible after you’ve managed to take care of all your other needs, and what is left is to become the best most genuine expression of your possibilities you can be. Most people will never get their needs met and so actualization in its purest form will be elusive and fleeting.

What you’re seeing are her parents’ prejudices. You’re doing great.

He actually does look like a cleaned up version of Charlie Manson in the photo.

You are blessed. Enjoy your family and this beautiful natural environment.

I’ve also been posting less after managing to upset someone. We can have a club. The shy posters club.

Looks really good!

Two spaces was taught in school typing classes. An artifact of mechanical typewriters I expect but that is why us olds do it that way.

It’s para social. The person consuming it feels as though they are part of a relationship. EFIT: like TV but more interactive.

“And you ain’t in it!”

There are many influences. One is pure resentment of elites as know-it-alls which propagandists amplify. A bit of Dunning–Kruger effect at the same time as people without specialized training can’t even comprehend what they don’t know. Another is how difficult it is to think probabilistically so that people can’t easily appreciate risk. And as more and more people proclaim conspiracy theories as truth there is peer pressure to confirm.

Sorry for your loss OP.

Robert Heinlein, I Will Fear No Evil

“Elderly billionaire Johann Sebastian Bach Smith is being kept alive through medical support and decides to have his brain transplanted into a new body. He advertises an offer of a million dollars for the donation of a body from a brain-dead patient. Smith omits to place any restriction on the sex of the donor, so when his beautiful young female secretary, Eunice Branca, is killed, her body is used—without his knowledge and to the distress of some of those around him.”

Well, I didn’t know that. I meant no disrespect. I was working off what seemed to me to be a humorous superficial resemblance. Apologies.

And my Mastodon!
