Israel has a lot in common these days.

You and the baby lose when you decide to throw away your weapon. The best strategy is to keep moving towards either cover, or your opponent if there is none. Close the distance and push the gun away while stabbing the baby into an armpit, under the ribs, or into the neck. Twist, pull, repeat.

President Biden was increasingly a puppet. Trump is also an easily controlled, often confused old man with a billionaire's hand up his ass making him dance around and do stuff. Far too many 'leaders' are in office beyond their expiration dates.

A little more streamlined and some way to reduce blind spots and that would be a cool looking station wagon.

Is it legal? Yes? Is it moral or ethical? No? It's at this point it should be directly opposed, whatever 'it' is. It's not enough to just ignore legal actions that negatively impact other people.

If you think you need to escape, you have to escape. I have no more chances, and I'm positive my wife to leave if I started up again. It's what I would want her to do because she doesn't deserve the awful person I become. She doesn't deserve to be neglected, or to feel like she's part of the problem

Future mod plan: Perrin front pipe, Perrin turbo inlet hose, Perrin diverter valve, Perrin oil cooler, Fluidampr, AMS FMIC, STI tower brace, Perrin rear shock tower brace, SPL LCA, SPL rear toe arms, and updated tune for 91 octane. Need to find a track in Tucson.

I cared during those brief moments when I was sober, but was so ashamed that I drank to feel nothing. I hope your husband finds clarity and decides to get help. The people we hurt don't deserve us, and I'm truly sorry on behalf of your husband. I once saved my wife's life, she helped save mine.

Oooh, do X next!

I stopped because I wanted to, while people who love me wanted me to. Pete's issues go beyond addiction, though he was likely drunk/high when he sexually violated others. Who knows if he feels shame from his actions, definitely will impact his treatment if he does. Doesn't matter, he's unqualified.

I had failed attempts. I told my wife I wanted to quit, I hid the amount I was drinking but she always found the bottles. I was as manipulative as any addict. My wife is extremely resilient, dealing with all my deployments over the years, but my drinking was taking a toll on her. She's why I stopped

My wife suffered in silence for over a decade. She didn't know what to do, thinking that if she confronted me I'd leave, and then feeling guilt for enabling me. I abused her through my self abuse, never verbally or physically. She was forced to watch me deliberately kill myself over time.

I could have burned everything down around me, many do. I have teammates who didn't get help in time because of stigma. 8-10% of the population simply can't drink, among other things. This time of year is particularly difficult, but I get to experience it with clarity, and with the love of my life.

Seeking help only hindered my career by taking me out of positions of responsibility while my brain rebooted. Two years into this I'm finally getting back out there. I can imagine being an active alcoholic and doing the job this dude is after, I was a 1SG while actively drinking. It was hell.

It's also about isolating ourselves from harmful media. Information can be just as destructive as chemicals or radiation. Why would I expose myself to shit that pisses me off, or depresses me, or that misinforms me? Why would I walk into fast moving traffic? I choose to protect myself.

I was eight days sober when I started thinking more clearly. Sitting in the back of the room during morning AA I realized I had more in common with a group of complete strangers than with Army teammates I've known for decades. Each discussion was like a mirror held up to all of my previous habits.

I'm a recovering alcoholic with a bit over two years sober. Quit cold turkey, and was then rushed to an emergency room for dangerous withdrawal symptoms. I spent 45 days in rehab, and then suffered terrible PAWS symptoms. I'm just now stabilizing psychologically after a lot of effort and support.

Prejudice fractured just as TV viewing habits have fractured, and maybe much in the way that media in general has fractured with the advent of the internet and the ability for each person to make known their prejudices to the world. No one group has complete control over the current flavors of hate.
