Spoken like someone who’s family loves them.

With right wingers, it’s completely impossible.

Do you want the option to see your brother again? Mend bridges at some future point?

There are some things you can’t take back. I have a grandmother in law that skipped my wife and I’s wedding and we have not spoken to her since.

I don’t want right wing apologia in my life. I do not enjoy biting my tongue to avoid arguments. I understand why you wouldn’t either. But skipping a wedding is serious and maybe permanent damage to your relationship. If it will free you and leave you better off, don’t go. If you will regret it, probably go and do the best you can.

Secret knowledge was a lot more realistic back then.

If you were the ONLY person that knows how to turn base metals into gold, you can still be rich beyond all reason.

That’s about what I thought. Ukraine has gotten 40 trucks here, 12 tanks there. Better than the old Soviet stuff Russia is using, but not enough to decisively turn the tables.

Honestly the pace of Russian advancement has been slowing down which is understandable because their losses are not sustainable. Their only hope for true victory is if Ukrainian losses are even less sustainable.

This is possible, especially if Germany and the US, the 2 wealthiest partners, cut off or scale back aid. But at the moment Ukraine seems slightly ahead of the attrition game and the US just INCREASED sanctions.

A human that is cisgender would be cool.

Honestly though, how would I appreciate it if I don’t keep memories?
