Your partner was being manipulative and when you didn't respond to the manipulation as expected, they got mad.

NTA. Please reconsider whether this relationship is good for you.

Also, "You don't love me unless you are jealous of me and want me to have no other fulfilling relationships" is a BIG red flag - because it means they're very likely to turn that around on you at some point.

They are likely to insist that it is wrong of you to have valuable relationships that don't include them, and the fact that they hate you having a friend at work is proof that they love you.

(However, OP: For many people, sex is not just physical. People's emotions get tangled into it. If you're allowing/encouraging your partner to find sex elsewhere, there is a substantial chance they will wind up emotionally attached to the person/persons they have sex with. Be braced for either a breakup or sorting out how polyamory works for you.)

So, there's a lot of USians around who are very clearly fucking fed up with their political choices this election cycle, and planning to sit it out.

And I get it! What's the point of voting if there's no one to vote for?

The thing is, I'm Australian. In Australia, voting is compulsory. We don't get to sit out our elections, and I'll be real honest with you - we don't exactly get better choices than you lot. So how do you vote if there's no one to vote for? You find someone to vote against. And there's always someone to vote against.

Now, we have the pleasure of preferential voting in Australia - We get to rank every candidate from 1 to X, and I'll tell you, there's something so cathartic about putting the biggest bastard of the lot at the very bottom of your preferences. I understand that USians don't get that option - you get to mark one person, and that's it.

That means that you get one shot, so aim it at the biggest bastard of the lot. The candidate you most utterly detest. Put your vote in the worst possible place for them. Don't even think about who that vote's going towards, that's not the point. Remember, every vote is a vote against someone. Make sure you fuck up that someone's election day!

She's so damn cute though

Mom sent me a facebook link to a PBS news hour post about how the anti-lawn movement is growing. The vast majority of the comments on it were stuff like this:

Most people are on our side here, even the so-called "boomers." We just have to be spreading ecological knowledge and practical means of creating useful habitat in back yards! Educate! Protect! Resist!

im sorry but i actually like the term guyliner not as a gendered term though just as a style like if a guy is wearing clean neat winged eyeliner thats not guyliner even if hes a guy but if a girl is wearing shitty smudged $1 drugstore eyeliner thats guyliner even though shes a girl

I’m gonna be honest I do not care if a trans boy teen is annoying and has horrible taste in music y’all are just mean.

I’d rather hang around with Karkat who listens to Cavetown than someone who is mean.

I’m gonna be honest I do not care if a trans girl teen is annoying and makes cringy jokes y’all are just mean.

I’d rather hang around Bridget who likes to make Blahaj jokes than someone who is mean.

I’m gonna be honest I do not care if a nonbinary teen is annoying and dresses weird y’all are just mean.

I’d rather hang around with Bug who is scene than someone who is mean

THIS IS SO FUNNY I'M SORRY

Person who really wants to be dominated by a strong-armed authoritarian in a snappy uniform, but also they want to keep their kinks ideologically pure, so they split the difference and fantasise about getting their ass beat by the inspector-general of the US Postal Service.

You are microwave safe. You are dishwasher safe. You will not turn orange after one use. You will not deform under boiling water.

It's dishonest work and it's a lot. And nobody needs to do it

running into a trans girl while you're out and about makes the entire miserable errand worth it, whatever it was. like glancing upward at just the right time to see a shooting star. I spot a trans flag and it sincerely ceases to matter that the bus is crowded and it rained unexpectedly and my shoes are soaked through and my headphones are dead. I am happy to be on that specific bus on that specific day, because you're there too.
