If she makes you miserable anyway a bit of peace and quiet and exercise sounds exactly what you need. I'd also buy some booze, you sound like you deserve a drink.

No that doesn’t surprise me at all after what you’ve described, I’ve always been a bit shoot from the hip as far as email composition goes!. I’d just go out and do some shopping or for a walk or anything to clear your head if you need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are the victim of psychological abuse by a, guessing, vulnerable covert narcissist. This sounds awful, speaking from own experiences. Sometimes it needs a very strong, very traumatic catalyst to „free“ oneself (or rather start the path towards freedom) of this abuse. Let C19 and the whole situation be your catalyst. I hope you will be well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one positive thing about this situation is that one can drink all day everyday without repercussions and I happen to be locked away in a once-family home where my father hoarded about ten-fifteen boxes of premium liquor. Thank god for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arakan Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 The best short-term thing we can get are reliable anti-body tests to see who already has been infected by Sars-CoV2. Studies are under way in quite a few countries. But here is the problem (currently): most of prototype tests so far a way too sensitive and show results also for the other harmless Corona Viruses. Those responsible for the common cold. Still a way to go. British users: please believe nothing or at least be very sceptical whatever your Primeminister Boris Johnson says. He is no dumb clown like Trump, he is smart, very smart, plays a role. I guess strong psychopathic tendencies. A person who makes blatant false propaganda like those bus posters „350 million Pounds better for the NHS than the EU“ should have no credibility left whatsoever. This was propaganda on the perfidy level of Goebbels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was propaganda on the perfidy level of Goebbels. I ain't British, don't know more about Boris than any other American who actually reads. That being said. Thats a bold statement, playa. Goebbels was like an evil genius. A real one. We still do shit today that he came up with. You know that whole Olympic torch lighting ceremony? Joseph Goebbels is the guy who lead the charge on that. To assist in the transition of cultural origination from Greece to Germany, a central part of Hitler's worldview. We still do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what the Nazis knew, Boris also knows: the bigger the lie, the dumber and more obscene the lies, the more people will believe it. The greater the impact of the lie will be. Objective truth in this context is irrelevant. Tell a lie to get people outraged, if it sounds silly, who cares. It’s not about facts, it’s about emotional reactions. His buddy Donald knows this too. Mexican rapists etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 To be fair, Johnson doesn’t have much credibility with at least half of the electorate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragile Bird Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 So Boris has Covid-19? We all think of karma. I don’t wish death on him (not being British) but I hope he has a bit more than the sniffles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Speak of the devil ... and he contracts a virulent disease apparently. Get well soon, I guess, he’s got business to attend to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That there „soon“ will be a reliable antibody test. It’s bullshit. There will be one I am sure but this will take time. When I don’t know and every serious scientist will be cautious to give a date. Or what about that nonsense that Dyson will soon mass produce ventilators? No, the Brits need not to participate on a common buying scheme with the EU (they were invited) because we will do it by ourselves. As if the UK is world renown for its manufacturing capabilities (except some niches). Again Boris, very smart man he is, played on the subconscious emotions of his sycophants (we are British, we know it best without any factual evidence and so on, basically he played on bigotry and jingoism, nothing new).
