IT WASN'T A MEME THEY TOOK THIS FROM US, THE GOVERNMENT PAID A CORPORATION TO REMOVE SOVL FROM OUR FAST FOOD!?!?

This is the blackest pill imaginable.

So my wife (29f) and i (28m) have been together with the exception of a long break when we were 18 and 19 for 10 years. (She left me for another guy) and every year or two since we've been back together i keep finding things on her phone. The first was a fetlife account where she was chatting with multiple men. The second was a coworker she was speaking explicitly with. Third she asked a random neighbor out for coffee in our apartment complex in a flirting manner. And finally this. I found nudes of her that I'd never seen before, and looked in the deleted pictures on her phone and found pictures of another man's nudes.

We've had some rough patched with my finances and depression as well as hers. I must admit I was feeling sexually frustrated last year and went to a "massage parlor" but didn't go through with the end part. And she found out. She's insists that nothing has become physical any of these times and would leave if she were going to go through with it, because she did when thats what she wanted.

Our relationship is great except for this horrible bi annual ritual of her seeking attention. She makes the money In the relationship and I'm very limited in my capacity to support myself for any sort of trial separation. I don't want to leave. I love her. But I feel I need to advocate for myself despite my own wrongdoings. I feel so trapped and hopeless.

Came across this amazing post. But what's even funnier is if you visit his profile and see the only other post he's made:

This might be the dumbest man on Earth.

Oh, he's from Portland? She's not cheating on him; he's just unknowingly in a poly relationship.

Obviously lib journos having a meltdown and who better else to encapsulate it than Frau

🇬🇧 British farmers protested today!

In addition to tractors, military equipment appeared on the streets of London. Tanks and infantry fighting vehicles.

It is unclear where the farmers got them from.

These don't have to be explicitly political. Just something that can be applied to our politics. Unfortunately while the writing in Madoka Magica is top tier and the story makes me feel in ways that few other forms of media can, it does not do politics very well which is why I took my favorite quote from a series that is actually based around geopolitics.

In a way this quote truly encapsulates the condition of our current political system, and in a way it mirrors the shinobi world quite well. For example we don't get to choose our sides. People act like we get a choice but there just are not many options. For example like the shinobi, we are given a village, a country. And that country can be segmented down into clans, families, and many other forms of allegiances. All of these are decided entirely by the nature of our own birth, rather than our own choices.

We are guided only by the necessity to make the most prudent choice. We are expected to be part of the group and sacrifice our entire being for its benefit. Like the shinobi each one of us is little more than a tool to be discarded when we are no longer useful. Is that not the way things should be?

Anyways, I'm excited to see your favorite anime quotes that can be applied to political systems! If anyone finds away to do this with the Madoka Magica series please let me know! I have been trying to find a way for years but it just doesn't seem to fit.

I'm reading "Petersburg" as part of our book club, but because it's a one chapter per week basis I started "Brothers Karamazov" this week as I never read it before and I recently got a wonderful edition by Editora 34 (the only Dostoevsky book I had read was C&P).

So far I wonder if terrible fathers are just a recurrent theme on Dostoevsky's works.

@Aevann can you pls

I'm sorry but Europe is so 🚬 y now. It's become Orwellian, with people being arrested for thinking about dead babies, and with streams of illegal immigrants running about raping everybody while the governments all cheerlead diversity and say "nothing to see here".

The fact that the left has to reflexively defend European decline under the guise of "be nice to our allies!" is just so fricking ghey.

Here is the thing. I test hypnosis on and off here and there, and over time I sometimes get messages from the dream state. Usually the messages were some simple things like "here is a story idea" or "Here is another cool story idea" or "whoops sleep paralysis." little signals like the last few moments of a dream where something interesting happens and still feels profound when you wake up.

What happened over time however, is that those last moments of dreams became less abstract and more like direct recommendations. Like you know the bicameral brain theory? Where one side of your brain is giving instructions and the other side of your brain is perceiving it as an outside voice from beyond yourself? Something like that but more with my subconscious directly telling me that I am wrong about something or not, and me waking up and going over what I am told I was wrong about, and realizing the dream advisor voice is correct.

Here is where things took a turn though. In my most recent self hypnosis/ nap session, I appear to have gone through a hypnotic regression ( simple explanation for hypnotic regression - going through locked memories in a hypnotic state, memories you cannot normally access ) rather than just a random dream advice message ( I was trying for hypnotic transcendent experience), and that regression state told me a story that does not match up with what I remember of my past but would match up with the theoretical timeline of my life and all that happened.

So I come from a third world nation. We have had A lot, and I mean ALOT, of change in our values and how we treat the people around us. From a 1st world point of view, the third world may still be very backwards, but from a third world perspective, every generation the third world has been busy stuffing in a single generation time frame about 100 years of western cultural and social change at once, to catch up on the western ideas that work. For example - In the west you might have stories of your grandfather beating your dad half dead or your great grandfather beating your grandfather half dead on a whim, but by your time you are trying to give your kid a time out to sit in their room as a lesson to take your car without permission and get caught by the cops for speeding.

Well, you take that level of cultural change and you fit it within a single generation, two at the very longest timescale, and you have got the rate at which culture is changing in the 3rd world. So the very same parent who might have been using you like a gym punching bag while you were 8-9 would be trying to learn to not raise his voice at you just because they are frustrated by the time you are in your 20s.

Now that the background information is filled in, here is my dream hypnosis regression comes in. In it was a message for me, and the message was that one of my parents is supposed to have been a crazy psycho on a whole other level than the worst that I remember about them. That they were a crazy psycho to the point that there is a clear gap between how different and fricked up my life was before I was 8 years old and after I was 8 years old, even though I remember almost nothing from before 8 years old.

Here is the problem with that dream though. It felt like it was the truth, but I don't remember the level of psycho that the dream was telling me one of my parents were in the very beginning, but, and this is an important but, I have enough memories of my parents to know that they became less violent and shittier in their anger every single year over time and the process of becoming less aggressive is still going on till today, and if I looked at the theoretical model of their behavior getting worse with every single year even beyond the earliest point where I can remember a bad memory, it suggests an 8 year time span where I would have absolutely ended up living with pure demons for a few days to weeks every year. In theory that pattern perfectly holds based on the pattern from 9 year old to the 20s that I do remember. Taking that pattern back I would in theory absolutely be living with psychopaths where it is a miracle that half my skull isn't crushed in and I can still speak.

But, here is the second part of the problem. My skull isn't half crushed in, and I can still speak, and the only evidence I have that "it never even began" is a theoretical model that fits, along with a dream telling me things were a lot worse than I will ever even be able to remember. It is like a case of profiling where the profile fits, but I have no 1st hand evidence to support the accusation.

For all I know the hpyno dream could just be completely made up, and actually just a dream filling in random blanks based on my subconscious storytelling mind. Creating a random tragedy possibly where none exists. To make matters worse, I come from a save face culture, which means that even if I asked people in my family about it, they would either label it as not half as bad as whatever I have in mind, or deny the existence of any suffering completely.

At the end of the day, now I am stuck with a revealed truth about my past that may not even be a truth, that has a profound impact on how I view my existence, creating change, and yet for all I know that message about a deep dark past from the subconscious mind is a complete made up fabrication.

Conclusion:

Hypnotic regression may or may not be real, may or may not be filling your mind with made up nonsense, but the experience certainly will feel like the truth.

Wouldn't recommend unless you can handle that uncertainty and an alternate truth to your existence that doesn't match up with how you have lived your life so far.
