I'm still haven't finished Père Goriot and I began to re-read Crime and Punishment as It's been almost a decade since I read it and I was gifted a new and pretty hardcover edition. I forgot how neurodivergent the characters acted, I'm not talking about Raskolnikov but Luzhin for instance behaves and talks so strangely in his first meeting with his future brother in law and co., he first comes out as arrogant, then clueless with a "fellow kids" vibe. Marmeladov's rambling at the tavern was longer than I remembered, and what a pathetic and wretched person he is.

>Yeah, I'm a drunk unemployed loser, my wife got beaten up by shark loaners and I did nothing, my kids starve and my eldest daughter whores herself to provide for us, someone gave me a job out of good faith and old trust and instead of working I went to buy booze and get lost for 5 days. But God will have mercy on me because I'm self aware

Earlier today the 37-year-old was quizzed about his previous convictions, including his attempt to kidnap two women from separate trains in August 2006.

Ms Wass asked her client what was 'going through your mind' when he handed the first air hostess a note threatening to shoot her.

Giving evidence today, Plumb said he would sometimes think about his 'celebrity crush' Holly Willoughby 'four, five, six times' a day.

He said online chats about his alleged plot to kidnap her were 'massively regrettable' but claimed it was just 'dark' fantasy.

Plumb said he got a 'rush of excitement' about keeping Ms Willoughby in a 'dungeon', but again insisted 'I knew it was online chat'.

In November 2008, Plumb was working at a Woolworths in Harlow when he ordered two 16-year-old female colleagues who were busy restocking to 'get to the back of the stockroom'. Threatening them with a box cutter, he told them to turn around and put their hands behind their backs.

The security guard served 16 months in prison, and said that after being released in 2010 he spent '99.9%' of his time online.

The defendant also said he would communicate with others on 'fantasy' chatrooms between 2010 and 2013.

The ruling limits how the obstructing of a federal procedure charge can be applied. This is one of the charges against Drumpf, in the Jack Smith case so theis may help him out.

Whenever I wake up and it's raining (like today) i start obsessing over what to wear and how to flaunt my wardrobe, from my boots to my watch and umbrella.

I also get eagerly excited for work.

Is this normal?

The Chevron doctrine stems from the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. (1984). It established a legal test for determining when courts should defer to a federal agency's interpretation of a statute that it administers. The doctrine involves a two-step process:

Step One: The court asks whether the statute's language is clear and unambiguous regarding the issue at hand. If it is, the court must follow the statute's plain meaning.

Step Two: If the statute is ambiguous, the court then considers whether the agency's interpretation is "reasonable" or "permissible." If the agency's interpretation meets this standard, the court defers to the agency's expertise.

This doctrine recognizes the expertise and policy-making prerogatives of administrative agencies and allows them to fill in the details of broad legislative frameworks.

TLDR: fed agencies can't make up rules

uwu varg what about me do u think I'm a subhuman shitskin untermensch

highly intellectual discussion

I don't care that Trump did a gaffe

I don't care that Biden is r-slurred <text style="color:#343434">(all wingcucks/vooooters are)</text>

I don't care that two geriatric men struggled to form coherent sentences in front of a live audience.

^{I just wanna go back to making fun of s and chuds...}

My gf and I have been together for 8 years, and we've never had s*x.

My gf has had some issues regarding s*x. She's gone to a therapist, and she realized she may never want s*x.

I knew all of this beforehand, and I was willing to stay sexless, as she's a wonderful person. I've never pressured her for s*x, and never expected it. It was hard for me at times though. Also, non monogamy was never an option.

Fast forward a few years, and my libido is completely gone, I don't do any sexual, (I still hug and kiss my gf though).

I dont even masturbate or watch porn anymore. Even if a s*x scene comes up on a movie or TV, it does nothing for me. Any s*x drive i ever has is gone.

My gf recently tried to grab my crotch, and I pushed her away. I asked what is she doing, and she said she wants to try and start being sexual with me.

We had a long talk about why she feels this way, and she says she can't really explain it.

I told her I don't want to have s*x, and she was disappointed.

Things have gotten more tense between us, and the other day we has a fight. She says that I'm just doing this to punish her because she wouldn't have s*x with me before. She says she doesn't believe me when I say my libido is gone

Im just really frustrated with her now, because I was willing to give up s*x to be with her and I never made her feel bad about it, and now she's upset with me. Am I wrong in this?

Relative Drama (takes into account the size of the subreddit)

autodrama: returning jobs to dramneurodivergents. Ping HeyMoon if there are any problems or you have a suggestion

They both have dementia. Stop talking about Biden so much. He's old. Yeah. So what? So is Trump. Let's keep talking about that. Please.

You could tell Trumpcels were scared last week when they started rambling about Biden's drug cocktail, the rigged CNN moderators, etc. They were already updating their programming to explain why their Daddy lost...

Then he won.

Trumpcels take any sign of agency in the world as proof of a grand conspiracy. Usually, they lash out as the world hilariously rejects them. But this time, they're baffled by the world handing them a win--it seems too easy, too clean. Deeply scarred by their losses post-2016, they're unable to accept the possibility of victory. Everything that happens--even something good--must be another step in the universe's favorite game of "kick the neurodivergent"

This is a surprisingly consistent (if sad) worldview.

They set up all these boring butt stupid rules to help biden, didn't work. They threatened everyone restreaming the debate legally, didn't work. Even cucked youtube didn't comply with them. You know the left is gonna be mad at them over this going forward. Nobody watches them already, lol. I love it. It's not like they won over conservatives or anything to watch them after this.

All by design. Wasn't about Trump. The target was Biden.

I agree. The debates are never this early. Biden can be replaced at the convention. The debates never start before that.

Even if they could steal another election odds are Biden can't make it another 4 years. That leaves them with Kamala. They have no choice but to get rid of Biden. This was an op.

They could of done that 6 months ago.

Six months ago they'd have to put their replacement through the primary. Now they can hand-pick whomever they want at the convention.

Stop giving these r-slurs so much credit. They aren't super geniuses running some 4d chess. They are r-slurs and they fricked up.

Now if only he could apply that logic to a certain other someone...

Is it coincidence that after 5 years of gaffes, incoherent rambling, and obvious behavior of a dementia patient... All leftist networks are acknowledging it at the exact same time. After years of gaslighting that he was sharp as a tack. I definitely think it's planned and coordinated. Biden is getting smoked in the polls

The synchronized turn on Biden last night was a sight to behold. When Dem operatives coordinate, they can pull off some crazy shit (remember when everyone dropped out in like 2 days in 2020 to give fifth-place Biden a straight shot to the nomination?). However, their reaction seems to come from honestly realizing that they can't hide him from the voters for four more months. His 2020 debates went fine and he sounded good at SOTU, and this performance was much worse than anyone expected.

People like you still don't seem, to get it. If they want to cheat the election, they will. For some reason you think they have fear of us. THEY control all the agencies, they put us in prison, but yet you think they are afraid.

If Trumpoids lose, it'll be because their own leader tells them everything is rigged and voting doesn't work

I couldn't believe how "fair" they were even though they brought up J6

It stinks. CNN is going for more legitimacy, but it's more than that. I've got an itch between my shoulder blades about this. Some are saying a replacement is in line, but I'm more worried about Trump "suddenly dying" or some such.

To give an idea of the swing we're looking at, the TD narrative this time yesterday was that the debate was a setup to assassinate Trump.

https://scored.co/c/TheDonald/p/17tLFkjxnE/paul-sperry-breaking-white-house/c

Yikes so they are going to try and poison Trump during the debate. This is after Trump's weird comment about how he will "provide his own transportation"

Trump knows.

Daddycels live in a Shakespeare play, but it's like the No Fear translation on the right.

They put him out there so they could justify replacing him.

This place is fully compromised at this point.

Pre debate: "Trump shouldn't show up" (I wonder why this narrative existed 🙄🙄🙄)

Post debate: "Trump didn't win the Dems threw the debate."

Yeah. Threw a debate where they got to choose all the rules, the moderator, the station, and the format. 🙄

Frick off. Trump campaign won by accepting this. Biden and campaign lost by offering it.

It's that simple.

Surprisingly, I thought the CNN debate was pretty fair. I liked the format. Trump blew their doors off.

Yes, because they wanted Trump to hammer him so they could put big mike in.

Tonight was awesome to watch, loved seeing it. But let's focus on who the real candidate is that Trump will be against this November starting tomorrow.

Take this with a grain of salt, this man invested everything in Michelle Obama trans memes.

!chuds Biden did SO BAD that conspiratards think the debate was rigged for TRUMP.
