And forced a sane but disruptive man through a disabling procedure?
No. She went way the hell too far so she could protect her little kingdom and stay in power. She was not concerned with helping her charges improve their lot in life.

I do block them, but I will still call it out when I see it.
Go the fuck away, fascist.
Yes, but the warning was included in the subject. Also there’s no more obvious twist than that.
Knights of the Old Republic.
I’d heard for many years how amazing they were, so I finally tried them.
Each game has a major plot twist. Both are obvious enough but if you google anything the spoiler in the first game is ruined.
The one in the second I was assured was a better game but apparently only if you download the unofficial patch that finishes the game, and it still can’t save the game from the obvious fucking fact you’ve been carrying around the BBEG since the goddamned beginning while everyone tried to pretend otherwise.
People want remakes of these games primarily for nostalgia, and they do not hold up.
And what’s the word in German that means everything you just wrote?
I’ve done a lot of self-forgiveness in recent years, so a lot of the simpler and sillier ones I don’t think of as embarrassing anymore.
Could be the time I flipped a guy off after he cut me off and I missed a light. He saw me in his mirror and started freaking out and swerving, almost hit a curb.
I didn’t mean to ruin his day. Just letting off steam.
Either that or the time I drove on the shoulder to avoid a car stopped in the middle of the road. When I merged back she had started to move and we collided. Totally my fault.
I only realized later that due to her age, location, and stickers on her car from a nearby Catholic University that I’d probably hit a nun.
I think it’s because the aroma of coffee is so important to its flavor.
My wife prefers flavored coffees and I shy away from them.
I thought I’d gotten them mixed or there was residue in my coffee maker because my coffee kept tasting sweet and I don’t add sugar or use sweeteners at all.
Across the room was a candle in a jar, lid off, unlit, hazelnut coffee scented.
ACROSS THE ROOM it was enough to make me think my coffee was actually sweet. So yeah, it’s all about the smell.
It meant my Dad never played Scrabble with my mom ever again, that’s what it meant.
Across two Triple Word tiles, no less.
No, I get what you mean. You should at least forgive yourself because you are a better person now.
That others think you still deserve to be punished is enough. You don’t need to add your pain to the mix, but it is easy to do that.
It’s worth pointing out that the act of remembering a moment overwrites the memory with your current memory of that memory.
In essence, by cringing at your own behavior, you place a negative and self-abusive frame upon it.
Try to start practicing self-forgiveness. Laugh at yourself. Smile at your own naive behavior.
It does work, but it takes time, and it’s never too late to start forgiving yourself.
Are you telling me there’s a way for me to become more of a coffee snob?!
Edit: Google says it’s not this way and makes for weak coffee.
She was named Beta, a yellow lab who was housed with a yorkshire terrier, constantly yapping and nipping at her.
Eventually she snapped.
At the time the owner was pregnant so there was no way they could take the risk.
My wife and I adopted her because we already had another dog from the litter, her sister Violet. We renamed her to Veda.
Never had a problem. She growls softly when her lines are crossed but is otherwise a perfectly snuggly girl. Getting on in years but still with us.
I think it’s better to not look at it as good and evil but as joy and pain.
There will always be both joy and pain in the world. And there isn’t even a ‘balance’ between the two. Some experience more pain than joy. Some, more joy than pain.
Part of the trick is to learn to focus on the joy. The pain will be there and requires acknowledgment, not attention.
Eat their young when they are in a confined space that appears to not support the population.
In a sense, we make them eat their young by putting them in cages and breeding them.
But it is behavior learned in the wild - keep alive only the babies you can actually support, or else everyone dies.
Nature gets brutal sometimes. One of my dogs once killed another dog, but she’s always been a total sweetheart to me.
Raccoons are cute, curious, critters with thumbs. They like to wash their food. They’re adorable!
But they are also wild creatures that will bite when scared and can carry dangerous diseases.
Nature gets brutal.
I wonder if this tricking back to Biden’s desk is what finally made him pause an ammo shipment.
I’m not agreeing with him at all but that’s a strange jump to take.
I’d say that secondary sexual characteristics in women tend to involve body fat. Being in extremely good shape does affect that a little bit - breasts, hips, face, ass, - and some would see that as looking more masculine where I’d say they’re just extremely fit.
Somehow roundness and softness is ‘feminine.’
Cuba?
I totally get where you’re coming from but wanted to put the counterpoint, as obvious as it was.
She was caring for those who nobody else could for at that time, and to generally good effect day to day.
I’ve worked in group homes and know of the challenges you face in serving those who aren’t all that stable.
Just would never have advocated for that solution for anyone really. All that is said with historical knowledge and such.
Yours was a good post.
She was trying her best with that she had and knew at the time, even if she overreacted in the end, to terrible effect.
