  • In this thread: people mistaking NRE for “true love”

    Love is as much a time based thing as it is work/romance/sex/chemical.

    It involves seeing the other person at their weakest and being there to help them, and vice versa. It involves seeing them mistreat you, but you know why because you know them and their triggers and forgiving them. (That last bit can be confused with forgiving abusers, which is not the same. If someone physically hurts you, it isn’t love, and contrition is a required step.)

    It involves giving them freedom to make mistakes and hurting themselves and being there to help them up.

    It is so much more that delineating it down to ’ I must love them cause I’m not sexually attracted to anyone else right now’ is a cheap and sad way of describing love.

    You literally don’t know what you are talking about.

    You’re like a computer novice that is only aware of commercialized VPN products thinking you know what you’re talking about but unaware that the commercialized products are open source things that anyone can run, and you’re only paying for the company to run them on their boxes.












  • My cat of twelve years died on my birthday. He had been sick with Triaditis for about 6 weeks and I had to feed him through a tube 3 times a day. Each time would take about an hour and a half.

    He was getting better, too. Putting on weight, and ate his own meals for 5 days. But the E-tube got infected and so we took it out 2 days early.

    He got home. He vomited. He stopped eating for two days. He started vomiting and acted in pain and so I took him in again. They discovered fluid in his abdomen. He was too skinny from his digestion issues for a further hospitalization and he was in pain.

    He slept each night in my armpit with his head on my shoulder.

    I worked from home before the pandemic, and so I was with him almost all of the time for his life. I loved his tiny 6 lb ass.

    He was a bathroom communist. It could be 3 a.m. and I could check that he was asleep, and when I looked up from sitting on the toilet, the door would be slightly ajar and he’d be in front of me watching the door.

    I miss you, little dude.
