I watched a lovely, capable person dissolve into a jumpy, near-tears wreck because the “solutions” copilot was giving her about her laptop didn’t work. “I don’t know what to do,” she said despairingly. There were still plenty of things left to try. She just couldn’t conceive of them.

The fabled ancient cities weren't defeated because the enemy breached the walls but because of traitors on the inside. Collusion of the PQ and Alberta separatists as US military plans promote breaking our country from the inside must be taken seriously. charlieangus.substack.com/p/this-is-ho...

The fabled ancient cities were not destroyed by the power of the siege engines, but by trickery and traitors on the inside.

Anyway I don't want to be accused of starting drama. I don't want to be assaulted, and I don't want to be a problem! So I leave and the men assume I'm tired or dull or maybe they don't care bc without me, they don't have to confront the creeps, they can claim ignorance and buy the bar another round.

The good men, the friends and lovers even, say to me later "well why didn't you just tell that creep off" as though I wouldn't be accused of starting shit, as though they'd stand up for me and not interrogate me to make the creep comfortable instead. Experience tells me most men will do the latter.

The next day I hear about what happened later, the wild experiences, strengthened bonds or odd opportunities all of which I would have loved to have been part of! But I left, bc for me, leaving was the smart choice, the safe one. But saying why I left makes the men roll their eyes; nothing happened!
