We still talking volcanos or have we moved on to regulating Taco Bell and porn?

Well said. This is my take on it too. It’s really the only reasonable approach.

That doesn’t seem to be entirely accurate.

The deal is the weird part where they made a specific point of and big deal out of the new classification not being a type of planet despite having the word planet in the name.

Very well said.

It sounds like there is a lot going on and most of it sounds very concerning.

Codependence is bad. Hinting that he will die without you is bad. It’s either seeking pity, attempting to control or manipulate you, or a genuine mental health issue. Tickling, biting and punishment are bad. If you are not enjoying and consenting to those things and he knows that then it’s a form of abuse if he continues any of those things. Being possessive and jealous are bad.

It sounds like he’s been engaging in a lot of tactics to control you.

You can love someone and it can still be best for both of you to not be together. If he is an incomplete non-functional person without you that is his issue. He needs to fix that. It is not fair and not your responsibility to try and fill in the rest of him to make him a whole person. If the things that make you happy, like concerts and the city, upset him so much that seems like a significant issue as well. You both need to be able to do things to fulfill your individual happiness in addition to your joint happiness. If you doing the things that make you happy makes him unhappy that is incompatible. If you give up the things that make you happy for his sake that’s still incompatible. Being together shouldn’t depend on one of you being unhappy.

It’s impossible to give perfect or absolute advice over the Internet. However I suspect you should trust your conclusion that your lives are heading in different directions. I think it would be good to discuss the things you have mentioned here with your psychologist. They are presumably a competent professional and can go into greater detail with you. In the end though a relationship has to work for both of you. If you give up the city and concerts and devote yourself to staving off his depression or self harm then you will wither and eventually resent him.

That’s been my experience. It’s weird seeing people get so angry at op over the assumption that op ignored fundamental information that is so often omitted by the manufacturers.

Weird. The last three TVs I bought didn’t have the foot width listed on the box.

Most TV’s don’t list the width on the feet on the packaging do they?

To be fair he might not like some people because they are black, trans, or little people regardless of if they are conservative or not.

Well he didn’t do a doctor strange. I don’t think it’s more interesting. I think it panders to the portion of the audience that quietly likes those negative traits and probably preps a lot of less than critically thinking readers to be more receptive to those traits. It also doesn’t fit the thematic style of stars which pretty clearly settles into clean camps of good and bad. The emperor served the function of embodying everything that was clearly bad. He was deceitful, sadistic, authoritarian, genocidal, xenophobic, vengeful, and probably much more but I think you get the point. He didn’t serve as a complex character, he served as one of the extremes of the moral landscape that the actual characters navigated. At arguably the highest climax of the story Vader is only redeemed because he rejects the symbol of evil. Adding a secret motive that makes excuses for his blood soaked accumulation of power mucks up the story framing and didn’t even come close to accounting for the vast array of just plain evil traits he exhibits. He didn’t cackle gleefully while making a father and son fight to the death because it was a grim but necessary step to protect the galaxy, he did it because he is the personification of evil in the story.

I do think that there is a place for complex villains. They are generally much more interesting but they also require a skilled writer and importantly an audience that can understand that, complexity aside, they are still the villain. We can look at the alarming percent of the Breaking Bad/Rick and Morty/Punisher fan bases that don’t get that to see the perils of that type of story telling reaching the wrong people. The emperor was not one of those complex characters and trying to retcon that in was at best clumsy and foolish.

I’ve always hated the story lines that turn authoritarian genocidal megalomaniacs into the good guys and I have a hard time understanding how so many people are not off put by that.

which almost always means its illegal since ripping your own discs is mostly piracy too, legally speaking

Is this actually the case?
