While there is some credence to "you can't truly learn to live another until you learn to love yourself", I think we king as you approach a relationship with the right mindset you don't have to love yourself / be happy. Right mindset being the operative word.

Anecdotal, but back when my depression was even worse I approached them as a "if I can't be happy I want to dump 110% of myself into the relationship to make my partner happy". It doesn't take alot to understand why that's such a bad approach. As long as you find someone who you can trust with your weaknesses and be trusted with theirs, maintain a open line of communication, and generally be comfortable around I don't see why not.

This reads like and hopefully is just rage bait.

The language used into the post itself has so many red flags. You "forbid" her, you had to get to get on the ground. And after having a PTSD episode over sexual assault, when you tried to touch her she yelled, which is reasonable for a victim of sexual assault, and you retaliated instead of giving space.

And if this is what you're willing to recount, I can only imagine what wasn't said may be even worse.

If this was genuinely just a very misguided attempt at helping overcome trauma, you should probably see a counselor and perhaps arrange a group session with whoever she has been seeing, if she's amicable to it.

Yup, with PIA the port is random but yes, there should be scripts out there to leverage PIAs forwarding with your torrent software. And yeah, if you were to port forward through your router that could lead to accidentally exposing your actual IP.

incompatible with port forwarding with any VPN

I'm not sure if there is a misunderstanding here, but port forwarding through a VPN is generally agnostic of most network setups. It's a tunnel, doesn't require your network to have port forwarding setup or even for it to be capable of it.

Straterra is what I found worked for me. It still needs to be prescribed.

I will point out that, in the US at least, an official diagnosis isn't required to get those meds. It's just a lot easier to be prescribed them with it. I'm not officially diagnosed but I do see a psychiatrist who was willing to try them with no prompting from me.

Ultimately though they didn't work out because of the impact on my blood pressure, I'm on non-scheduled ADHD meds now that have made a huge difference.

Wow it's been a while since I've seen this song. One of my favorites to listen to on trips.

Because there are alot of ignorant people in the world afraid of what they perceive as different.

In your first two examples, regardless of not being politicians it's clear that by helping put politicians in power they benefit, so whether they genuinely care or not, it's just about money and lack of compassion to them. And continuing to drive class warfare continues to benefit them.

In your last example, I think that person is just in the ignorant and afraid of change category with an unfortunate amount of exposure.

Honestly one could probably make a comparison to a loan shark, you keep paying it off but the interest is so high and you keep borrowing more you just stay in debt and keep sinking deeper.

Sleep debt itself is a weird metric. You can't "pay it back", lost sleep is lost sleep, period.

The body doesn't keep track, the body just complains. You might feel weird if there is a dramatic change to your sleep schedule.

Roguelikes and roguelites tend to be my favorite. Ones where each run is new and you can toy with different builds and usually get pretty OP toward the end (or get cut down early because luck wasn't in your favor or you made a mistake).

A VPN is still a good choice, in fact if you setup your own VPN on a VPS that is an even safer choice because then you (sorta) control the certificate used for encryption. True, your hosting provider could still obtain that cert if they really wanted to, and they still have the data on your IP using it and for how long / how much, but it would make obtaining your data a targeted attack.

But there are cons to setting up your own, such as misconfiguration exposing you, or just the setup time in general.
