Does anyone here use an ISP that’s not Verizon, Cox, or Comcast?

@Aria I would happily pay my ISP for the reasons you’re using your own. I think it’s so important to support local businesses, I commend you helping your neighbors this way. I wish there was something like this where I live.

They took off Jessica Jones! That’s still on our region’s Netflix.

I’m trying to find an alternative, these oligopolies are price fixing and it’s really infuriating

There’s nothing like a wedding to tear a family apart.

I had a very small wedding (exactly what I wanted), no cousins or anything. I'm glad they were all classy about it, wishing me well and moving on. You could send a nice card and move on too. I think it's a lot more rude to make a big deal about someone getting invited or not when it's someone else's most important and special day.

Weddings are so expensive, that’s why it really bothers me when people RSVP and then make some excuse for not showing up. They’re incredibly stressful to plan too.

I agree with Verge in that you should send a nice card and move on.

So... 1. When you were all invited the first time around, you got them to invite your bros gf and then STILL didn’t go.

2. Your bro didn’t invite them to his own after that and

3. Now you want to know why you weren’t invited when you’re not planning on going anyways?

... I wouldn’t invite you either, honestly.

Marriage is like drowning: kind of nice, once you stop struggling.

I really like this. I love my husband very much but when I “struggled” it was very difficult. Now that I’ve relaxed, he has too!

Maybe it's me.

Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t.

We all have people we avoid for one reason or another.

Speculating will only give you anxiety for no reason.

I feel so defeated.

AND THIS is exactly why I hate sales positions. (It’s a nonprofit and you’re getting donations but it boils down to sales in the end, honestly.)

Get a different job. A manager that’s hounding an employee who very obviously is doing their best isn’t very good at managing.

Maybe I asked this before.

I used to be a driving instructor and my mom owns a driving school. I personally hated teaching adult students for the very reason that they were always so afraid like your girlfriend. Teens, even when they’re afraid, get past it.

My mom does great with adults, though. And the students she has taken behind the wheel have passed every time. She can even license adults now (DMV certified). It’s a pricey program though ($300-$400 I think).

I would do some research and find an instructor in the area that teaches adults. To quote Nelson Mandela, “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”

Wow the world is so sad and broken.

These are economic theories:
Marxism - Developed by Karl Marx. The theory is that the government controls all businesses (means of production) to ensure equality.
Communism - Modeled after Marxism. All property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs.
Socialism - all businesses (means of production), and the sale of goods and services should be controlled by the community as a whole.
Capitalism - businesses (means of production), and the sale of goods and services should be controlled by individual private owners.
Neoliberalism - no regulations, businesses should be free to operate as they wish.

Philosophical:
Liberalism - Individual freedom is the most important thing. Ex. Freedom of speech, press, etc.
Right wing - Conservative party. Emphasis on tradition, religion, small government control.
Left wing - Liberal Party. Emphasis on social programs, separation of church and state, more government control.

Fascism - dictatorship where one party or one person controls the country solely with no checks and balances.

Hope that helped.
