Yeah, definitely. Women who love guys like that are more common than people think. I know a bunch. I married one. Stay upbeat and financially self-sufficient and you can find someone who's right for you. The idea that you have to be a tough guy to get dates has evolved from a misconception to a fucking psyops.

By the way, as a bi guy, I have never considered a man "adorable" or "a sweetheart" unless I thought I'd enjoy dating him. I must presume that women are often the same way.

Get the mental health services for now. It'll probably help you stay more stable for the difficult planning and decisions that may need to be done. I don't think the labor camps will pop up suddenly enough to ambush many people. You aren't as cornered as you feel right now. Figure out your exit plan, figure out your threshold for when to run, and try to live your life and/or resist in the meantime. There are lots of beautiful places to run if you're willing to learn a new language. Spend some time reading about immigration laws so you'll know what to do. It's a little less scary when you know the plan in detail.

I played FTB in its glory days. Not sure what's good now, but I miss Thaumcraft and Xycraft.

I bought Minecraft on an impulse. I'd heard people talking about it but didn't know much. Looked it up, and it was going to enter Beta in twenty minutes. Bought it on the spot, installed it the next morning, have logged untold thousands of hours ever since.

Imma need a link for this please. Who?

Could you stick to Yankee or Yank or something? It's not like I find the disdain confusing, but Septic is a little heavy-handed. We've got big and growing problems, but we are all still people here, and not everybody under that umbrella has been asking for it. The assholes in charge have been running on minority support for decades now.

Curious, though. Septic tanks are a standard feature in rural USA. Are they rare in the rest of the world? Is this something we're considered odd for?

Do you think you provide housing? Here's a list of common signs:

If someone stole all your tools, you'd kill them, and you don't think that's weird.

Unhealthy relationship with caffeine (bonus points for other substances too)

At least one fucked-up bone or joint

There's some Liquid Nails or silicone caulk stuck in your favorite work shirt

Your hearing isn't as good as it used to be

Regular porta-shitter use

If two or more of these fit your lifestyle, you may be a provider of housing.

If it's from current events in America, I had the same problem til I started going to protests. Otherwise, meditation and/or some basic meds might do the trick.

That's a major symptom of depression.

Yeah, if we can win this and kick him out, I'm not going to stop my activism for years. Even if we can't, I'm going to be an activist somewhere in the free world after I run.

You might find something like that in the Wheel of Time books. It's been a long time since I read them, but there's a lot of very strong women in those books and only a few of them have a hard time being gentle and compassionate when the situation allows.

Uhh, Facebook, I guess. I used to care a lot for libertarian ideals too.
