This is indeed a sexist statement, and against the forum rules.

It is also demonstrably false.

Wars, as a rule, are started by the leaders. Most leaders have historically been men (for sexist reasons), therefor most wars have been started by men.

If you take the time to study up on the history of female leaders, you will see plenty of blood and conquest.

The gender war is much like the war on drugs or the war on terror. It has no winners and no end.

Please try not to contribute to it.

I wasn't trying to start a battle of the sexes. Me bad. No winners is correct.

LOL at Tino-Yes and maybe we will have Hillary here and I can eat my words further:omg:

So frustrated by my mother. She gets herself entangled into men's lives (she is 64, but acts 14 sometimes.) She let her new boyfriend deposit his money into her account and then lets him use her check card. Does this dangerous to anyone else besides me? Her money is also in that account. I mean, she is older than me, isn't she supposed to know better?
Regardless, she causes me anxiety. Just listening to it gives me knots in my stomach.

That does sound like a very foolish thing to do. In fact, it sounds a lot like a con. He could easily clean her out at any moment. No disrespect to your mother intended, but has she been evaluated for mental competence? It may be time for you to take some matters out of her hands.

My niece is coming to an age where she's starting to notice my eccentricities, and is subsequently becoming more uneasy being around me. It's a painful transition I've been dreading for a while, but it was bound to happen.

If everyone she knows is emotional open and, for lack of a better word; ''fun'', it's no wonder she'd eventually learn to see me as odd. It was always a battle I wasn't going to win.

Well I wasn't interested in getting a job/internship any more because there aren't any offers in data analysis, so I was going to spend this year doing an online specialization course on it and apply for a master's next year. However, I just realised my mum would be the one paying for most of this, so I have to get a job to get the load off her. Maybe I should start sending CVs to supermarkets and places like that to get a part time job.

I think I should tell my brother and sister we need to have a family meeting :omg:

My parents won't support me, this frustrates me. I was abused by my ex boyfriend for 3 and half years and they won't offer me any support at all. I feel so lonely sometimes, cause I lack of support. :sad:

Sometimes I get random bursts of deeply felt, warm, fuzzy joy. Well, they seem random, but I think the reason is often subconscious or not something I'm immediately realizing is the cause. Doesn't happen often but when it does, it renews my outlook on life.

I have a hunch the cause is often when I feel some kind of deep connection to other humans, even if it's indirect, because so often I feel so disconnected from them and there's a longing to make that connection, and then something - a very positive interaction, a cultural realization - makes me feel plugged into it all again, and I feel a deep sense of wonder and appreciation.

I guess I'm wondering... am I the only one? Is it just one of those "weird" (but, in this case, cool) things about me?

Going to start taking magnesium supplements tomorrow, let's see if it reduces my anxiety and a bunch of other minor physical issues that cause me anxiety as well.

I get something somewhat similar every once in a while, but it always comes from my dreams. The sensation only lasts for a day at most.

I was watching an episode of Star Trek the next gen the other night, and once again dreamed how awesome it would be to be a space explorer. I pictured myself living with the crew on the enterprise and what it would be like.
I think it would be great because the way those characters are scripted, there is no b*tching, no clicky little groups, no excluding anyone because they are different physically or mentally... Just genuine friendliness and acceptance.
How cool would that be.
Oh, and not to mention.....the holo decks!! Lol

I think the holodeck would be a place any person could waste their lives at, but I would still want one. 🙂

No Star Trek universe for me! They have too many enemies. :😛:

I've been getting this slight pain under my foot, in the middle of it. Maybe a muscle. It's been happening more often over the last few days. Can't search anything online because I don' know the name for that part of the foot, if I search for 'palm of foot' it only returns heel, ball of foot and toes.

Does it get noticeably more painful if you rise onto the balls of your feet as if you are reaching for something?

If so,you could be talking about the 'flexor hallucis'.
Thats the main muscle that runs under the medial arch of the foot.

Hope this helps identify the problem so you can do more research on getting help 🙂
