Look up zero sum approach to relationships. Does it sound familiar?

Okay I found an article for you. This is not exactly what he is doing but in a way it actually is. Its within this framework of thinking and seems as destructive as straight up zero sum thinking. Basically it’s the idea that if one person wins the other has to lose and losing is not an option.

It almost sounds like he is trying to avoid this so much that he’s creating it to avoid it. Anyway the article should say more and more accurately. Its not sustainable though.

Honestly the first time I ever have and it's on my second save file. You did remind me about the time my stepbrother renamed Cloud "Fog" in FFVII though. It hurt me deeply but I also couldn't be mad at it lol.

so sanitized, propaganda movies?

>Which is why I love movies like Rocky

i like that movie too, except when he repeatedly pressures Adrian multiple times to come into his apartment, then when she wants to leave, he pins her in the corner with his hand on the door

I lost any faith due to the chucklefuck that kept ringing my doorbell like the week after. My GF at the time and I just moved into an apartment and guy said his whole basic “I’m from the census pitch” and I said we just moved in and we were already counted at our parents houses individually before we moved in.

Then he started asking more questions and I said dude leave me the fuck alone I just told you we were counted already. Then he rang the doorbell again after I hung up and kept talking saying he needs the information or he’ll have to come back again if I won’t give it.

At that point I said I’ll call complex security or come beat your ass, your choice, if you don’t get the fuck out of here and leave us alone because you’re being fucking weird at this point. Dude left. Luckily because 99% of my job at work is CYA I had wrote the guys name down out of habit. Found a number to call and told them exactly what happened and how I had to threaten the dude to leave. I said how I didn’t know if he meant to cause any harm at that point with how pushy he was after my initial answer or if he was even legit. Turns out he was a legit worker too, and they said they’d address it.

Fuck that. Whole interaction was weird and I lost any remaining faith I had in anything run by the state. I had to get to the point of threatening someone when I initially gave a polite answer to his question.

Crypto, real estate, and options…

Make sure you learn to crawl before you walk/run. These three assets can provide crazy returns but come with many risks and/or capable of 100% loss.

Do your due diligence before throwing money at these assets with an understanding that you could lose it all.

In the meantime, build a diversified portfolio of ETF’s and cash (for rebalancing and opportunities).

Be cautious chasing the quick money!
