Polyamorous wedding two fiance's are better than one

Life is how you make it like in polyamory. Mostly about the female she needs to take care of her happiness everything will follow. Two fiance's are better than one. More so when you get older cuz you probably only have 15 years to live or turn 70 when you're deemed too old cuz you're reminding your partner of her Grandpa and she doesn't want to touch you cuz you're too old for... A mental block thing. Life is short!

I now declare you throuple: how to plan a polyamorous wedding. 
What they learned

MF: My advice to other polyamorous couples who want to get married is to be selfish, and make the day about you and your love.

JC: My number one piece of advice is don’t invite anyone you wouldn’t buy dinner for. https://www.theguardian.com/wellness/2025/dec/11/throuple-polyamorous-wedding-planning

MISTERess (lover) Best accepted polyamory

  

A mistress is usually a woman in term for those days. But as in these days as things are men can be a woman's mistress also! Fair enough a MISTERess best as a open kind of thing Ployamory or whatever you call it! I been a boy toy two times in my life and almost was a kept man. I took off a semester from college to go out with her and she told me I was going to be her toy boy but I am in college and not a boy, so she is going to call me a play buddy because I wasn't a boy, just letting me know! Yes she gave me $300 but that was so I could be on her level being I was a college kid at the time broke like she was not paying all of my living expenses but she did pay for my next semester in college in her way to let me go. My future was calling me back!

I liked to be called play buddy or toy boy because it let me know I was hers a warm feeling people need like in love and belongingness and so life is too short to not to. (Maslow's belongingness and love needs are the psychological needs for interpersonal relationships, love.)

Would like to put it as termed ~~~~A MISTERess or kept man is a male who is in a relatively long-term sexual and romantic relationship with someone who is married to a different person. Or toy boy, play buddy whats in a name just know it's ok to be than not and it's best to be open about things!

 ~~~~A mistress is usually in a long-term good relationship with a person who is married to someone else and is often referred to as "the other woman". Generally, the relationship is stable and at least semi-permanent, but the couple do not live together openly. The relationship is often, but not always, secret. There is often also the implication that the mistress is sometimes "kept" – i.e., her lover is paying all or some of her living expenses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mistress_(lover)

 ~~~~Polyamorous relationships are ENM at their core, meaning they are fundamentally based on consent from all people involved. So, much like in a monogamous relationship, poly relationships come with set expectations and boundaries – just not the same ones. https://www.attachmentproject.com/enm/polyamory

The biggest myths about emotions so Biofeedback.

Said and true "The best way to change your past is to change your present." Environmental stimulus not dwelling in deprivation would lead you to better outcomes. https://walmartramen.blogspot.com/2013/11/environmental-stimulus-kids-in-road-of.html

Also Biofeedback would help. Or the final destination Psychedelic Therapy if bad!

~~~~By learning new things, watching movies, or even acting in a play to get outside of the normal range of what the brain predicts, Barrett argues that it’s possible to change those predictive patterns, and by doing so, to become the architects of our future selves. Understanding how our brain creates emotions can help us manage them freeing us from repeated patterns of behavior and empowering us to control our emotions and heal ourselves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QfCvIJRtE0

~~~~Biofeedback is a type of mind-body technique you use to control some of your body's functions, such as your heart rate, breathing patterns and muscle responses. During biofeedback, you're connected to electrical pads that help you get information about your body.

You may not realize it, but when you have pain or are under stress, your body changes. Your heart rate may increase, you may breathe faster, and your muscles tighten. Biofeedback helps you make slight changes in your body, such as relaxing muscles, to help relieve pain or reduce tension. You may be able to decrease your heart rate and breathing, which can make you feel better. Biofeedback can give you the skills to practice new ways to control your body. This can improve a health problem or help make daily activities easier. https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/biofeedback/about/pac-20384664 -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4pVZypfF-4

~~~~The procedure for psychedelic therapy differs from that of therapies using conventional psychiatric medications. While conventional medications are usually taken without supervision at least once daily, in contemporary psychedelic therapy the drug is administered in a single session (or sometimes up to three sessions) in a therapeutic context. The therapeutic team prepares the patient for the experience beforehand and helps them integrate insights from the drug experience afterwards. After ingesting the drug, the patient normally wears eyeshades and listens to music to facilitate focus on the psychedelic experience, with the therapeutic team interrupting only to provide reassurance if adverse effects such as anxiety or disorientation arise. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychedelic_therapy

Your brain doesn’t detect reality so fuzzy logic.

Like the saying "Around about there somewhere!" Is the point of like fuzzy logic functionality in thinking in a quantinated multitasking temperament. Yes and no, yin and yang, duality forming a whole. "Yin-yang is the concept that there exist cosmic principles or forces that are opposites but complementary, which interact, interconnect, support and perpetuate each other. Together they form a dynamic system in which the whole is greater than the interdependent components, and both parts are essential for the cohesion of the whole." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yin_and_yang 

In relating like in Fuzzy Logic. "Fuzzy logic is a form of many-valued logic in which the truth value of variables may be any real number between 0 and 1. It is employed to handle the concept of partial truth, where the truth value may range between completely true and completely false." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzzy_logic

But in how we all think in how our brain works it does for a reason in so is interesting just for FYI.

Funding hostage food stamps.

~~~~"Not only are contingency funds available, but the administration is legally required to use them." https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/trump-white-house-snap-benefits-funding-rcna240796

 

~~~~After weeks of saying that it would tap congressionally appropriated contingency funds to provide food assistance for low-income families in November, the Trump administration abruptly reversed course last week. Now, the administration asserts it is somehow not permitted to spend contingency funds in this way and has no choice but to cut off food assistance starting this weekend. These claims do not bear even the most cursory examination. https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/trump-snap-benefits-food-aid-shutdown-illegal-rcna240594

The Misconception of Love in Modern Day Society - Effort

 ~~~~Love becomes a force that transcends the ordinary, leading us on a transformative journey of self-discovery and connection.

We explore various perspectives and influences on how we perceive and experience it. We find that genuine connections require effort, communication, and understanding and that unrealistic expectations, shaped by media and societal beliefs, can lead to disappointment.

Recognizing red flags as whispers of intuition helps us navigate relationships better. Embracing self-love and valuing mutual growth create fulfilling connections.

Love, like an alchemical journey, transcends time and space, evolving as we grow. https://medium.com/@adamlazreg/the-misconception-of-love-in-modern-day-society-a4b87c4c79b2

Things take effort if you found the willing open the car door they want to jump in! Life is how you make it. Something like accepting each other for benefit of all to win, win = intelligence than not!

And with age comes the awareness of lifespan. Best option life long lovers like if it's win, win then no one would want to leave it! The point to be easy and why would you not be easy because there is no time to start over!

Self-Actualization and Conservatism

The point of Abraham Maslow and the Psychology of Self-Actualization and Conservatism being against your own people keeping them low. Or fascism in the decline of the people in it is not sustainable. "Fascism fundamentally restructures society to serve the totalitarian state, suppressing individual rights in favor of extreme nationalism, authoritarian control, and militant expansionism Historically, this has led to devastating social impacts, including the dehumanization of minorities and the mobilization of the population for war." - AI note.

"Conservatism in every place and time is founded on deception. The deceptions of conservatism today are especially sophisticated, simply because culture today is sufficiently democratic that the myths of earlier times will no longer suffice." https://pages.gseis.ucla.edu/faculty/agre/conservatism.html

To it being adverse to "Abraham Maslow's theory of self-actualization posits that it is the process of fully realizing one's potential, a peak need reached after satisfying more basic needs for physiological well-being, safety, love/belonging, and esteem. He described self-actualized individuals as being creative, accepting, autonomous, and concerned with humanitarian purpose, driven by intrinsic motivation and a desire to contribute to the world. While Maslow's hierarchy of needs suggests a progression, he later acknowledged the order could be flexible, and most behavior is multi-motivated." - AI note. 

You can not have that if you are living in a decline against your own people and yourself in quicksand!

In the world of getting out of the MAGA cult!

In the world of getting out of MAGA it is the same as getting out of a cult. And for others not into MAGA they are a cult so act accordingly! 

Also I need to note is best to make friends than to not make friends or be extremist. Not like a method called Love bombing but. 

Treat people with respect. 

"Be kind. Be respectful. And when someone tells you not to do something, don’t antagonize it or brush it off. Real emotional maturity is learning how you affect people in the real world. “No Victims, Only Volunteers” doesn’t apply here. If you hurt someone, you hurt someone. Learn from it, apologize and try to do better next time. We are all human and make mistakes and its okay to admit it when we do." 

Mind your own business. 

People can share with you what they want and friends don’t need to interrogate each other for the sake of “accountability.” Normal behavior is people slowly get vulnerable with each other and when a topic comes up, we treat it with empathy and respect. We don’t need to railroad someone into oversharing with us. And learning to keep someone else’s confidence is crucial. We don’t need to tell other people’s business, even in the same friendship circle. People get to choose their audience with their stories, and its not up to you to share their business without their consent.

Everybody loves a lover polyamory.

In our relationships it's just a matter of how you make it. Relationships should be free they shouldn't cost anything it would mean you are declining. Love is just how you make it, so it's best to accept things for the benefit of both. https://www.discoveringpolyamory.com/polyamorous-relationship-models

I need to note extremism is violence. Charle Kirk.

I need to note extremism is violence. Like you wouldn't let your extremist kids play in the playground with the other kids because someone would get hurt. It's a bad with bad makes more bad kind of thing. Violence? It's sad but not surprised when you promote it. https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/14/business/brian-kilmeade-fox-news-apology-homeless - https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/stephen-miller-charlie-kirk-podcast-appearance-jd-vance-rcna231444

A point extremism is violence is to incite violence like not something we all did declaring independence from the British or even "During World War II, the United States engaged in a direct military and ideological fight against fascism." to one persons ill or like a homeless persons point of view because the United States would not go to war for the issue of a few as life is but it's American as a whole! Being against fascism is the history of America. It's best to learn about American history! https://www.unodc.org/e4j/fr/terrorism/module-2/key-issues/radicalization-violent-extremism.html - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-fascism

Karma? He answered a question about mass shootings before he got shot. Said with mass shootings that people might have to get shot. There is an open carry law that lets people carry guns around normal people don't like that just putting bad with bad more bad things happen. Both where College dropouts. Interesting karma is real. Extremism is not happiness it came in a circle and that is Karma. https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/open-carry-laws-make-securing-charlie-kirk-style-events-difficult-rcna230656 - https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOcAg0SDcPD

~~~~The difference between Republicans and MAGA Republicans is violence. https://cvp.ucdavis.edu/insights/difference-between-republicans-and-maga-republicans-violence

~~~~I need to note both where College dropouts in only the first semester. Tyler James Robinson and Charles James Kirk. "Science proves that racist, sexist people lack intelligence. A study in Psychological Science shows that those with lower cognitive abilities feel more prejudice towards people of different races, genders, sexualities, and spiritual beliefs." So really in both it was two bad's meeting together and accordingly! Shooting Kirk was not a logical resolve. And Kirks pushing all bad being against you get the bottom of the barrel. Running on emotion says not developed yet. "The frontal lobe reaches its full maturity around the age of 25." but doesn't mean it is turned on yet could be a delay in maturity. But low is low in a time of people needing to go higher you find more social pressures trying to get job skills for the future. Social problems and the people that cause them you get strain! Who talks like that in real life? "I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational." – Event organized by TPUSA Faith, the religious arm of Kirk’s conservative group Turning Point USA, on 5 April 2023 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/11/charlie-kirk-quotes-beliefs - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Kirk#:~:text=Kirk%20applied%20to%20the%20United,dropped%20out%20after%20one%20semest - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyler_James_Robinson - https://medium.com/the-virago/hateful-people-are-less-intelligent-according-to-science-070c439800b7 - https://walmartramen.blogspot.com/2019/08/hate-has-regional-roots-in-poverty-and.html - https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/gen-z-men-jobs-economy-workfore-participation-rcna232537

~~~~Social media users quickly pointed out all the conservatives who posted tasteless comments in the wake of other tragedies.

For instance, progressive activist and Parkland school shooting survivor David Hogg reminded McCain that, among other things, Utah Senator Mike Lee made now-deleted jokes on social media after Minnesota Democratic state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were assassinated in June. 

Activist Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter died in the 2018 Parkland shooting, reminded the daughter of former Sen. John McCain of the patriots who tried to publicly hang Mike Pence on Jan. 6.

Others joined in, noting how President Donald Trump mocked the 2022 attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul, and also the way Trump treated her dad before he died in 2018. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/meghan-mccain-roasted-after-claiming-left-glorifies-death_n_68c48635e4b0b3dca95eddc2?origin=home-whats-happening-unit

"The truth is spend years spreading hate and disinformation you create dangerous conditions for others and ultimately yourself." https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zq-tnEjmTB0

"To honor our fallen insurrectionists please observe a moment of violence." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnJkxMLjkU4

It's best to not promote violence as the extremism is violence it is not sustainable! Accept others, help the helpless as you know no one is a island! The consequence of being well adjusted is happiness. And so I would say the can't seem to connect action or behavior to future consequences is a high issue in a society that has no foundations to do so. Society is too low in much parts!

"It's no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." - Jiddu Krishnamurti

Just let it out Love is a way to say it - Norway’s casual dating!

 

For me dating married women or not like the point to be open and talk about it. I really miss people taking the initiative like many in my past 90's thus how you know to understand. 

A lady telling me to sit down and we talked on a piece of paper because we didn't want the co workers to know. 

A married lady with five kids after I told her my feelings about her she told me to get in the car went for food had that talk. 

Another woman I only dated twice, we went out for coffee and I kept looking at her legs like adoring her she grabbed my leg and put my leg on top of hers but then pushed it back and put her leg on top of mine I moaned and she like said yep we are going to be good lovers. 

Other my boss she told me to stay when I was heading out the door after work and after the others went out she said lets get dinner. I took the semester off college to date her. Took me back to college and payed for the next semester in her way to let me go back to college because I felt the pressure to finish. https://walmartramen.blogspot.com/2017/09/where-have-i-been-mirror-mirror-on-rocks.html

The point is to "Just let it out!" Like to get that woman out of you, it's about your happiness mostly a better life about something that cushions better for both win, win equal love, willing needing to note life is short so ask what is good for you "Love is a way to say it." Open that door for that talk no more hem and haw if you don't know then he don't know it's your life in a time of shortness! Life long!

To decide to "Take a ride.
You don't even have to mean it
And if you wanna stay the night
I promise I'll keep it secret
Stay awhile
Baby, you won't regret it
Just let it out
Love is a way to say it."

Life is too short to not "How to get romantically involved with a Norwegian!" All of this is only the point to take the initiative like a flower if it's ready it blooms if does it does it don't it don't and is not the point, the start is to start is all! https://skolerom.no/en/undervisning/how-to-get-romantically-involved-with-a-norwegian/#

What to be done to cool your city!

In the summer you ever notice the difference from rural temperatures vs a bigger city in how it just holds the heat more. Or even how hot things are when a parking lot is covered in black tar to it holds in heat more. Something needs to be done a bit of effort! White is prime for a swimming pool for suntanning like in the days. More trees in more locations would help anyway. Overall we need a solution than not!

~~~~"Heat islands" occur when cities replace natural land cover with dense concentrations of pavement, buildings, and other surfaces that absorb and retain heat. The heat island effect increases energy costs (e.g., for air conditioning), air pollution levels, and heat-related illness and mortality. Extreme heat events often affect certain populations first, with factors like age, race, income, and location playing a role in who is most at risk from extreme heat. By adding natural surfaces like vegetation back into communities, green infrastructure can mitigate the heat island effect and provide cooling.

Rising temperatures are expected to lead to more frequent, more intense, and longer heat waves during summer months. As heat waves and rising temperatures occur, green infrastructure can be a crucial tool for communities to improve health, safety, and comfort. https://www.epa.gov/green-infrastructure/reduce-heat-islands

Polyamory like, who pays in what rent

Whatever relationship you make there is a point to have power in numbers regardless! Just a matter of that talk. Why are we here, who is who to who, safety net, what is the responsibilities. Life is looking to be bad so it's best to add than subtract!

~~~~There’s no run-of-the-mill financial playbook for a polycule; just as the relationship structure itself is totally different for each individual iteration, so are the economics. In other words, there are a lot of ways to do things, and polyamory is fundamentally about a belief that One Size Doesn’t Fit All.

The three split their rent evenly and take care of their personal bills (like car payments, insurance, and school tuition) individually. Right now, Daniel’s job is the most lucrative, so he contributes a little more to shared resources like groceries and the power bill. “We haven’t had to have hard conversations about our finances as a house, because it's natural for us to take turns supporting each other when needed,” Daniel said.

For them, being in a polycule actually makes dealing with finances a little easier. “Having an extra working adult doesn’t mean that we are safe from the heavy weight of inflation, but it does give us a little extra room to breathe and a strong sense of security. I trust our family to take care of each other, and the privilege of that is undeniable,” Jade said. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/sophielucidoj/polyamory-finances

Things to expect are some bad things, don't be surprised!

 

This is bad also for the labor force many living badly. Higher electric heating bills. They like high prices but a social decline is not workers succeeding. Or added to the labor force the workers showing up to work looking like Amish on horses lawnmowers or anyway because they are barely living. Any cuts or hardships to the labor force makes more bad things. Taking it easy at work not wanting to be hurt at work because of no healthcare! In a time of high cost beforehand. Does effect the labor force. Low going lower is a bad thing!

Also concerned Medicaid issues kids not getting their psychiatric medicines, no cell phones in class being forced to live Amish problems!

Things to expect are some bad things, don't be surprised!

Wet bulb temp and stupid hot!

Don't need global wind power just use natural gas and coal to drive up the cost of powering your home so the poor can't afford it. Or like just let the power grid fail with global warming heat. The human body can only take so much heat at different ages you know right? It's just a matter of the wet bulb temp.

~~~~Thermoregulation is the maintenance of physiologic core body temperature by balancing heat generation with heat loss. A healthy individual will have a core body temperature of 37 +/- 0.5°C (98.6 +/- 0.9°F), the temperature range needed for the body's metabolic processes to function correctly. 

The human body's thermostat is the hypothalamic thermoregulatory center, which, more specifically, is located in the preoptic area of the hypothalamus. This center sets the body's set point and regulates temperature homeostasis. The hypothalamus contains temperature sensors, which receive information via nerve cells called thermoreceptors. The body has peripheral and central thermoreceptors. The peripheral thermoreceptors are located in the skin and sense surface temperatures, while central thermoreceptors are found in the viscera, spinal cord, and hypothalamus and sense the core temperature. Variations in body temperature activate these thermoreceptors, which inform the preoptic area of the hypothalamus. This area then activates heat regulation mechanisms to increase or decrease body temperature and return it to baseline. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK507838

~~~~Raymond noted that people die of heat stress at wet-bulb temperatures much lower than 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius). For example, the wet-bulb temperature during the June 2021 Pacific Northwest heatwave was closer to 77 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius). https://science.nasa.gov/earth/climate-change/too-hot-to-handle-how-climate-change-may-make-some-places-too-hot-to-live

The Verve, environmental stimulus a point of getting out and story!

As the point it's just a fact of having environmental stimulus. As if you lived in a "Backwoods town" there can be a big lack of stimulus when you compare it to a bigger town etc. 

There is always a way take your kid to see a waterfall, walk in the woods talk about everything you see. It's a world of stimulus out there if poor. Me and my friend went fishing with his dad once to us kids at the time that was high deprivation for us staring at the water looking at the clouds etc. We dropped our fishing poles and made a teepee out of sticks. Really cool we did that. https://walmartramen.blogspot.com/2013/11/environmental-stimulus-kids-in-road-of.html

 But in the walk of life about The Verve in their story of getting out or to fall in, getting out of deprivation to growth. Yes you can! 

It's like things the mafia does - The Trump FCC’s Coercion Cartel

It's like things the mafia does. FYI for people that want to know than to not so others would know for them! If you don't care others will care for you not for your best interest theirs!

~~~~In the administration’s first weeks, Carr unilaterally launched investigations relating to or affecting the editorial decisions of media outlets. Such investigations are likely to have a chilling effect on free speech decision-making of the targets while also serving as a warning to others that they could be targeted as well.

For example, reopening a complaint previously dismissed by the agency in January, Chairman Carr inserted the FCC into candidate Trump’s claim that CBS’s editing of a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris constituted “election interference.” Prior to the election, candidate Trump sued CBS over the matter. After assuming office, the president posted on Truth Social, “CBS should lose its license”—which is a decision that falls within the FCC’s jurisdiction.

Carr linked the allegations against CBS to the pending sale of Paramount Global and its CBS subsidiary, a transaction that requires FCC permission to transfer the broadcast licenses. “I’m pretty confident that that news distortion complaint over the ‘60 Minutes’ transcript is something that is likely to arise in the context of the FCC review of that transaction,” the chairman not-so-subtly warned on Fox News.

At a time when a congressional Republican is calling public broadcasting “communist” and holding hearings on its content, the FCC has targeted public broadcast networks PBS and NPR. “I am writing to inform you that I have asked the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau to open an investigation regarding the airing of NPR and PBS programming across your broadcast member stations,” Carr wrote to the network presidents. The local member stations, he charged, “could be violating federal law … [by] broadcasting underwriting announcements that cross the line to prohibited commercial advertisements.” Expressing the hope that “this investigation may prove relevant to an ongoing legislative debate … whether to stop requiring taxpayers to subsidize NPR and PBS programming,” he added, “for my own part, I do not see a reason why Congress should continue sending taxpayer dollars to NPR and PBS.”

This threat to the funding of public broadcasting, of course, jeopardizes the content those outlets provide. Ironically, it was a Republican-led effort in 1981 that restructured the funding of public broadcasting, reducing direct government support while allowing limited underwriting messages as a financial offset.

Another use of the chairman’s investigatory powers is Carr’s inquiry into the reporting practices of the San Francisco radio station KCBS. The station reported on specific details of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid of office buildings in the city, including the location of the raid and descriptions of ICE vehicles. Speaking on “Fox & Friends,” the chairman justified the investigation on the grounds of determining how KCBS’s reporting “could possibly be consistent with their public interest obligations.”

The FCC’s recent investigations and inquiries reveal a broader strategy to leverage the agency’s regulatory power to affect what the public hears by influencing what media outlets say. Framing editorial discretion as “censorship” and deploying government authority, the Trump FCC is not protecting free speech. It is undermining a practice essential to American democracy.

Further, in a pointed warning that his agency controls broadcasters’ licenses—and will be monitoring their behavior... https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-trump-fcc-s-coercion-cartel

Stormy Daniels relating to understanding of its complexities and implications!

 

Documentary on Stormy Daniels relating to the Trump legal and why is was. A part of History and best said by AI: "A study of issues involves systematically investigating a specific topic to gain a deeper understanding of its complexities and implications. This process can involve gathering information, analyzing data, and identifying potential solutions or areas for further research. It's a crucial step in addressing problems, developing informed policies, and advancing knowledge in various fields."

 ~~~~On October 7, 2016, one month before the United States presidential election that year, The Washington Post published a video and article about then-presidential candidate Donald Trump and television host Billy Bush having a lewd conversation about women in September 2005. Trump and Bush were on a bus on their way to film an episode of Access Hollywood, a show owned by NBCUniversal. In the video, Trump described his attempt to seduce a married woman and indicated he might start kissing a woman that he and Bush were about to meet. He added, "I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. ... Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything." Many commentators and lawyers described such an action as sexual assault. Others argued that the remarks were an assertion that sexual consent is easier to obtain for the famous and wealthy.

News of the recording broke two days before the second 2016 presidential debate between Trump, the Republican nominee, and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Trump gave a statement in which he apologized for the video's content, but he attempted to deflect attention by saying that Hillary's husband Bill Clinton had "said far worse to me on the golf course". The recording provoked strong reactions by media figures and politicians across the political spectrum. Statements from Republican officials varied. Some, including Trump's vice-presidential running mate Mike Pence, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, indicated their disapproval of Trump's words but did not renounce their support or call for his resignation from the ticket. Other Republicans, most prominently former presidential nominee John McCain, stated that they would no longer support Trump's presidential campaign, and some called for his withdrawal from the ticket. House Speaker Paul Ryan announced that he would no longer defend or support Trump's campaign, although he did not officially retract his endorsement of Trump.

Bush was fired from his position as a host on the Today show, another show owned by NBCUniversal and aired on the NBC television network, and several women made allegations of sexual misconduct against Trump. The release of the tape was regarded as an "October surprise", influencing public opinion in the weeks before the election. According to a 2020 study, it reduced public support for Trump On Saturday October 8th, Trump released an apology video, calling the remarks "locker room banter" and apologized, stating that "I've said and done things I regret". Despite the controversy, Trump ultimately won the 2016 election.

Trump was shown the tape during an October 2022 deposition for a civil lawsuit brought by author E. Jean Carroll, who accused Trump of raping her in 1995 or 1996. In response to questions from Carroll's attorney about whether the statements in the tape were true, Trump replied, "historically, that's true with stars" and "if you look over the last million years, I guess that's been largely true. Not always, but largely true. Unfortunately, or fortunately." The tape was used as evidence during the trial. On May 9, 2023, a jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation against Carroll and ordered him to pay her $5 million. On July 19, 2023, Judge Kaplan denied Donald Trump's request for a new trial. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_Access_Hollywood_tape

~~~~Since the 1970s, at least 25 women have publicly accused Donald Trump of rape, kissing and groping without consent; looking under women's skirts; and walking in on naked teenage pageant contestants. Trump has denied all of the allegations. He has a history of insulting and belittling women when speaking to the media and on social media, and has made lewd comments about women, disparaged their physical appearance, and referred to them using derogatory epithets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_sexual_misconduct_allegations

 ~~~~On May 31, 2024 Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 felony counts – all stemming from the $130,000 hush money payment he made to Stormy Daniels, which Common Cause first blew the whistle on back in 2018. 

It’s clear the money was paid because the Trump team feared that the emergence of her story just before the 2016 election would torpedo Trump’s chance of becoming president. That makes the payment a campaign contribution—and the Trump campaign’s failure to disclose it to the Federal Election Commission illegal.

And if the money came from Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, as Cohen claims, it exceeded the legal limit for campaign gifts by more than $127,000. https://www.commoncause.org/work/stormy-daniels

Homeless just don't disappear - American Favelas?

Homeless just don't disappear. With the massive income divide Trump wants, the rich will just hire people to harass the homeless and poor. And it just pushes like a Favela, in Brazil, Taking over a town! Something to note to happen more effecting all like quicksand as in history. Things have a resolve and so it goes something like the history of the favelas when things are more for the rich less for the poor it happens.

~~~~This is the state of the homeless crisis in America. Many cities and lawmakers are focused on criminalizing rather than helping the most vulnerable people in American cities. And that approach places more pressure on advocates and volunteers who want to help those who have nowhere to sleep, feel safe or take care of basic necessities. https://thegrio.com/2024/03/11/homeless-criminalize-shelters-laws

~~~~The history of the favelas of Rio de Janeiro begins in the final years of the nineteenth century as Brazil transitioned from an empire to a republic. As the nation continued to undergo dramatic political changes throughout the course of the twentieth century, the slums of its second-largest city grew in size and number, in turn experiencing significant changes of their own. Initially, these communities were loosely incorporated squatter settlements that sprang up organically in order to house internal migrants and itinerant laborers. As they became more numerous and increasingly populated by a burgeoning urban underclass, favela residents began to organize internally, forming associações de moradores, or residents’ associations. These organizations served as forums for deliberating matters of community governance, in addition to acting as liaisons between favelados (favela residents) and the prefeitura (city hall). Since the city and state governments failed to extend many public services to the favelas, community members, led by their local associations, banded together to provide sanitation, medical care, and transportation to their friends and neighbors. https://library.brown.edu/create/fivecenturiesofchange/chapters/chapter-9/favelas-in-rio-de-janeiro-past-and-present

Polyamory or accepting what it is and Money!

Being in a Poly, open, acceptance or the secret long term lover relationship types the point is to live better in happiness or to survive. It's best do what is best for all. You know "No one is a island!" A relationship is a ship more than one. In the need of that conversation the talk about money will come up. In these times there is power in numbers!

Posting anything, Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Sources

 

As for me I just don't post something without a source about it. If I don't know then I will say something like I don't know but this is what I think. For the most part my writings are not News orientated, like I am not news just a person to make you think for yourself with no codependency thus Adjunct like. Making a contribution to society and things like that!

Like when I was on Facebook Twitter etc always have a source of information. Because it would just be viewed as someones point of view. So for me I would have to look up what someone said to find out why that is! And also talking to people, I say something but also point because of a study on the subject I was talking about. I will let people know where that came from I was talking about. So it's all about like something you learned in school! Always have a source than not! Note Wikipedia is a good source because of the sources it has also. Just spend the time to look up it's source! Like use Wikipedia as a list of sources like if you are in school working on something!

~~~~Sources of information or evidence are often categorized as primary, secondary, or tertiary material. These classifications are based on the originality of the material and the proximity of the source or origin. This informs the reader as to whether the author is reporting information that is first hand or is conveying the experiences and opinions of others which is considered second hand.

Treaching - Open the door for more Sociopaths / Psychopath

Concerned about if teachers quit would it open the door for more Sociopaths / Psychopath to take the jobs of teaching? The manipulation, and a lack of empathy would run over the kid with education so they are good teachers. But really having no empathy would put the kids view of no empathy also! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-xQawY7b3HQ

This was talked about in the 90's in a Psychology class I had. Talking from the 90's! So on the other end having empathy or more like all things have a resolve like the point to have a contribution to society. Like the said in class "Feel free to make a contribution to society, any help is appreciated especially if it's not wanted what a gift to humanity that is!"

Point is if you teach get the point to get the kids an positive deportment. 

The difference it's a mix of both! The Issues are:

The need for the study the effects of the internet on kids.

In a time of life like a social decline. And talking about a need for the study the effects of the internet on kids. "The brain finishes developing and maturing in the mid-to-late 20s. The part of the brain behind the forehead, called the prefrontal cortex, is one of the last parts to mature. This area is responsible for skills like planning, prioritizing, and making good decisions. https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/the-teen-brain-7-things-to-know

A social decline noted by a lack of social leads to may issues it's a decline. Noted in time the issues that is caused just is not a good thing long term. It's best to talk to people to have community. But for kids that are not adults the non adult mindset they need to learn about community on what is real or not. As in when I was in school if there was a issue I had I would ask the other kids to see if it was a issue to them yes or not then I counted. If the most is not concerned then it was only a concern to me so I let it go otherwise I would be in tyranny over something few are concerned about. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/former-surgeon-general-says-congress-failed-protect-childrens-mental-h-rcna208763

As for the ban for kids with cell phones in class? I would like to not go backward and push on more of cell phone use for kids. Like having a cell phone app for the class and teaching the kids on the use of cell phones like a class for it. Like how in the 80's there was a issue with a calculator in math class now they are seen as a tool of sorts. Go forward not in your own tyranny! A point to make your life easy! 

Women in ancient Rome - Polyamory in modern today

As you might noted in the Bible nowhere does it condemns concubinage, Nor for that a Married woman can't have one like in these times and living in a different place not in Rome and Women no longer being property! So these days Polyamory noted "With the informed consent of all partners involved." Or whatever it is normal really. I question a woman's want to be a slave like in the past seems a light to illness!

~~~~In the Bible, a concubine is a woman who lives with a man as if she were a wife, but without having the same status as a wife. Concubines in the patriarchal age and beyond held an inferior rank—they were “secondary” wives. A concubine could not marry her master because of her slave status, although, for her, the relationship was exclusive and ongoing. Early on, it seems that concubines were used to bear children for men whose wives were barren (see Genesis 16:1–4). Later, it seems that concubines were kept simply for sexual pleasure (see 2 Chronicles 11:21). Concubines in Israel possessed some of the same rights as legitimate wives, without the same respect. https://www.gotquestions.org/concubine-concubines.html

~~~~Polyamory (from Ancient Greek πολύς (polús) 'many' and Latin amor 'love') is the practice of, or the desire for, romantic relationships with more than one partner at the same time, with the informed consent of all partners involved. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyamory

~~~~Freeborn women in ancient Rome were citizens (cives), but could not vote or hold political office. Because of their limited public role, women are named less frequently than men by Roman historians. But while Roman women held no direct political power, those from wealthy or powerful families could and did exert influence through private negotiations. Exceptional women who left an undeniable mark on history include Lucretia and Claudia Quinta, whose stories took on mythic significance; fierce Republican-era women such as Cornelia, mother of the Gracchi, and Fulvia, who commanded an army and issued coins bearing her image; women of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, most prominently Livia (58 BC – AD 29) and Agrippina the Younger (15–59 AD), who contributed to the formation of Imperial mores; and the empress Helena (c.250–330 AD), a driving force in promoting Christianity.

As is the case with male members of society, elite women and their politically significant deeds eclipse those of lower status in the historical record. Inscriptions and especially epitaphs document the names of a wide range of women throughout the Roman Empire, but often tell little else about them. Some vivid snapshots of daily life are preserved in Latin literary genres such as comedy, satire, and poetry, particularly the poems of Catullus and Ovid, which offer glimpses of women in Roman dining rooms and boudoirs, at sporting and theatrical events, shopping, putting on makeup, practicing magic, worrying about pregnancy—all, however, through male eyes. The published letters of Cicero, for instance, reveal informally how the self-proclaimed great man interacted on the domestic front with his wife Terentia and daughter Tullia, as his speeches demonstrate through disparagement the various ways Roman women could enjoy a free-spirited sexual and social life. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_ancient_Rome

Science Based Biblical Archeology!

Science based biblical archeology! Is needed along with knowing about Roman history to know why those things happened. What country it was in when and why they did those things. Or even read the Gnostic or what for the time. So you would know. How would you know without knowing? What is real? Takes thinking!

~~~~The relationship between religion and tyranny is complex and varies significantly. While some might argue that certain religious beliefs or practices can be used to justify oppressive regimes, leading to mental health consequences, others argue that religion can also provide a source of comfort, hope, and meaning for individuals facing adversity. Mental health professionals also recognize that individuals' past experiences with spirituality and religion can influence how they view and cope with mental health challenges. AI point. 

*But also needing to know if one is in a false sense of reality in America. We don't live in the Bible days and do not live in another country with another's law ruling the time. It's best to know things. Said to be a thinking man than to be in tyranny most of the time, it is bad for your health!

Well he is a felon! Felons hire felons!

Less than $30,000 will actually pay more in taxes - It just confuses people

We thought you liked the high prices otherwise why did you vote badly against yourself. Making it bad for all like your kids a candidate for child abuse letting the youth to have to get out of the hole before they even start the race to life as a adult. It just confuses people they just think those people wanted to suffer. Low self value or something relating. They don't listen anyway so they had to learn! Burn and grow FAFO thing is all it is and a DUR!

~~~~In 2029, Americans making less than $30,000 will actually pay more in taxes under the GOP's plan than under current law. Americans making less than $15,000 the poorest of the poor will pay 53% more in taxes than they do now as their average tax rate jumps from 3.3% to 5.1%. Meanwhile, households making over a million will pay 6.4% less in taxes (totaling an estimated $74 billion collectively), as their average rate falls from 30.8% to 28.7%.

For the moment, the GOP's mega-bill is stalled after five Republicans voted against advancing it out of the House Budget Committee Friday. The committee is set to reconvene late Sunday evening. But don't get your hopes up: the holdouts were more conservative representatives who want even more spending cuts to programs like Medicaid. For them, poor Americans' suffering isn't a budgetary bug; it's a feature. https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/trumps-white-house-accidentally-admitted-truth-tax-plan-rcna207301

~~~~We know exactly who these price increases will hurt the most: low-income Americans, especially those who live in rural areas. Those are also the voters at the heart of Trump’s base.

If the Republicans in Congress wanted to help the voters at the heart of their base, they would roll back these tariffs and put the president in check. Instead, they’re making sure that everyone who voted for Trump will feel the impact of his trade war on their next trip to Walmart. https://www.msnbc.com/top-stories/latest/walmart-raise-prices-trump-tariffs-rcna207351

~~~~Low sales revenue can result in lower profits, decreased market share, and a reduced ability to invest in growth. It can also impact employee morale and potentially lead to layoffs or reduced compensation if not addressed.

~~~~Poverty is not a direct cause of child abuse or neglect, but it creates an environment where the risk factors for maltreatment are heightened. Families living in poverty often face chronic stressors that can compromise a caregiver’s ability to provide a safe and nurturing environment. These stressors can include financial instability, inadequate housing, food insecurity, lack of access to healthcare, and exposure to violence. When these stressors become overwhelming, the likelihood of neglect or abuse can increase. https://www.ncacia.org/post/the-impact-of-poverty-on-child-abuse-and-neglect

Medicaid cuts making up the loss.

Like the part about children wage adults trying to pay healthcare cost doesn't happen. Just passes on the cost to everybody having to make up the loss labor force issues. If they can't take care of themselves how are they supposed to take care of the workplace. No skills can't afford them decline decline! Reductionist reduced to zero expecting success.

"If Congress cuts funding for Medicaid benefits, Missouri workers and their children will lose their health care. And hospitals will close. It’s that simple. And that pattern will replicate in states across the country.” https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/fight-medicaid-cuts-heats-house-republicans-release-bill-rcna206210

Polyamorous relationships and open marriages. Marriage and Morals - Bertrand Russell

Really life is what you make it! If life is bad then it's best to make it better as it's better than not! Mines are mostly a point of emotional compatibility a vent for my loves filling a gap in her life making her and so all better. As Polyamory is to make all better. Like taking the stress off of my partner I had in 89 so she had less on her to deal with her five kids at the time with how they where living. 

Me I see women as not slaves in relationships Like said to be a married woman's other concubine, gallant, secret or whatever you call it should be for the better of the good. Just a point of life to move forward like social mobility not to live like your parents! It's just a matter of that talk to what is needed what responsibility, boundaries there are. It's what you make it! 

~~~~The concept of ‘soulmates’ has been around for centuries, but can one person meet all of our emotional, intellectual and physical needs? 

Siobhan Marin travels Australia to meet people who are living beyond monogamy in polyamorous relationships, throuples and open marriages. 

For many in this community, ethical non-monogamy isn’t just about sex. 

It’s about questioning traditional ideas around love, loyalty and commitment. 

Although polyamory is becoming more popular, especially among younger generations, it still carries challenges. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeGuzNgPLc8

~~~~Russell argues that the laws and ideas about sex of his time were a potpourri from various sources and were no longer valid. The subjects range from criticisms of social norms, theories about their origins and tendencies, evolutionary psychology, and instinctual attachment to children (or lack thereof), among others. Notably, the book found marital rape to be common, stating: "Marriage is for woman the commonest mode of livelihood, and the total amount of undesired sex endured by women is probably greater in marriage than in prostitution." Russell also argues for increased availability of birth control, the decriminalization of homosexuality, improved sex education, elimination of obscenity laws, easier access to divorce, and greater freedom of women to pursue their own interests and careers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_and_Morals

Car recommendations on oil.

It's mostly noticed when you have a older car and the manufacture of the car recommends a lower velocity oil than it is said in the owner's manual. Witch can be death. Noted as the Mazda RX-8 oil issues as you would get a oil change at the dealership the oil put in would be a 5W-20. In the car but the Mazda RX8 oil manual recommends using SAE 5W-30 engine oil. At idle the lighter oil was not lubricating the engine enough and all around anyway and the oil should be higher anyway as it's found out!

"The reason we recommend this slightly thicker rating (over the Mazda recommended 5w30), is to help protect you from stationary gear bearing failure. It is important to use a semi-synthetic oil rather than fully (synthetic) because semi-synthetics will burn reasonably cleanly and leave fewer carbon deposits behind in your engine; reducing the risk of apex seal obstruction which can lead to serious problems, resolvable only via an engine rebuild." http://rotaryrevs.com/garage/help/best-oil-for-rx8

its best to put in what the manufacture of the car says to put in it. like the oil in America says to use a 0W-20 but in Japan they use a 5W-30 and they are the people that made the car but also know Japan doesn't get colder than 40 to 50 something degrees so a 5W-30 would be good in Japan but in colder climates a 0w-20 is what the manufacturer said to put in it so.

The point is to know about all of this mess about oil. It's your car it gets you to your destination on time so do what's best for the car!

Sex drive High, others Not and That Talk

 

In the view of sex therapy the focus is a resolve on the persons that has issues.
Sex is sex it's about fixing the issues to make each lives better, without the conflict.

If there are issues you need to ask where did they come from?
Be open have "That Talk!" Why? What would be the ending be?
Breakup, divorce! Time is not a matter of stability in a relationship.
Really humans are not designed to be with each other long term.
And so there is a need to talk about it accepting each others needs, hopes and dreams. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwzXz1N7Vm4

Love has no boundaries it's just we all put false fears ahead
of such goals in our lives. As like wanting that talk from a married lady.
Now that is no boundaries! She is married and the point is for her best interest.
As it's also everyone else's best interest if she is the best interest of them!

But anyway sex drive is factored in many ways. Age, health etc... If the couple is 55 and they chase after their career the question needed is to ask what are you going to be like at 70? With health issues that come with the age. Sex drives are hard to come by as you get older. Thus the whole point of females getting hormone treatments back in the days.

So time is short. "One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do, two can be as bad as one, it's the loneliest number since the number one-uh" - Dokken! So try three!

Polyamory agreements! Time is short so if it's, a willing take that in. How often does those opportunities come your way? And so noting that, comes "That Talk" accepting that gold in ones life! It's worth it if agreed upon!

~~~~~I have a very high sex drive but my long-distance boyfriend doesn't
My long-distance boyfriend and I rarely have sex when we are together. I have a very high sex drive and I don’t think he does. I don’t want to end my relationship, but my sexuality has always been a big part of who I am. I have tried talking to him, but he gets really defensive.

The notion of “high” or “low” sex drives is misleading, because throughout their lives, people normally experience fluctuations in desire. These increases and decreases may depend on many factors such as health, age, stress, fatigue or relationship factors such as unexpressed anger, fear or resentment. Most commonly, when we judge a person for having a “low” sex drive; what we really mean is that he is currently not as available for sex as we would like him to be. The complaint itself is rarely useful, since as you have discovered it can inspire defensiveness. The only way to have a productive conversation and you do need to have that talk is to approach him very gently and without blame. Start by letting him know how much you enjoy the erotic connection between you, and encourage him to be frank about what he likes most. Listen calmly and openly. Perhaps you need to find a way to reduce the stress of travelling. Long-distance relationships are challenging; the common expectation that everything needs to be wonderful when you do get together is unrealistic, and after a separation many partners need a fair amount of time to become fully reconnected.

Plastic have contributed to global mortality from heart disease

You know that there is an issue about using plastic containers much too often. 

"Synthetic chemicals called phthalates, found in consumer products such as food storage containers, shampoo, makeup, perfume and children’s toys, may have contributed to more than 10% of all global mortality from heart disease in 2018 among men and women ages 55 through 64, a new study found."

~~~~How to limit your exposure? It is possible to minimize your exposure to phthalates and other endocrine disruptors, experts say.

“Avoid plastics as much as you can. Reducing your use of ultraprocessed foods can reduce the levels of the chemical exposures you come in contact with,” Trasande said. “Never put plastic containers in the microwave or dishwasher, where the heat can break down the linings so they might be absorbed more readily.”

Here are other tips to reduce exposure:

· Use unscented lotions and laundry detergents.

· Use cleaning supplies without scents.

· Use glass, stainless steel, ceramic or wood to hold and store foods.

.Buy fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables instead of canned and processed versions.

· Encourage frequent handwashing to remove chemicals from hands.

· Avoid air fresheners and all plastics labeled as No. 3, No. 6 and No. 7.

Who’s Paying For What Polyamory

In 89 I dated a married lady with 5 kids. After we talked at a restaurant and she mumbled something about taking over the marriage she told me to meet her at the same restaurant same time next week. So I did when I walked in there she was with all of her kids and husband and a folder. I thought in my head in the words of David Lee Roth "Might as well jump!" I walked in after the induction of everyone, this is, this is, this is, this is... And this is our bills this is how we are living pushing the folder towards me. At the time I had a good paying job but was temp and I was young myself so I was able to throw the money like that. Meaningful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwYN7mTi6HM

In 1989 wages she was making over $6 an hour he was $8 with 5 kids. This made sense to bring me in. Her kids where looking bad like ready to loose her kids kind thing. She told me "You are dating a married woman it comes with responsibilities!" In that was her kids so after I found out she would stand by the bathroom with a stop watch only giving her kids 5 min to shower before school. A time constraint yes but not a good thing I agreed to cover the water bill that was high anyway. Her kids faces changed they where like who is he why is he here to seeing the light. Her oldest daughter saw the gold ring and said "Track meet." I said "Horse meat?" LOL! Her mom told me her daughter wants to do track but they don't have the money for fees and all  the stuff for it. And she pushed the paper toward me with her kids watching I grabbed the paper and her kids jumped in their seats realizing I am a good thing to them.

Her husband wanted out of the marriage too many kids for him and wanted me to replace him after the divorce but 5 kids! But after things became more stable he said he didn't want me to leave her because she would be stressed and with everything he would want to get out again. She let her kids walk home from school once like 5 miles because she was having like a breakdown on the couch. So I agreed to pick up some of her kids after their sports on the other side of town and all meet at a park together rotating every week so she had mom time with all them. Polyamory comes with responsibilities!

~~~~“Having an extra working adult doesn’t mean that we are safe from the heavy weight of inflation, but it does give us a little extra room to breathe and a strong sense of security.” https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/sophielucidoj/polyamory-finances

Social constraints lead to personal growth.

Social constraints lead to personal growth. As in the laws of nature or time vs dauntingness one is forced to change in mental terms. Like forced social mobility like all the oil spots in the parking lots for others to know those cars will burn up in time forcing people to do better and life gets better for all in time no oil smell or walking through the oil to get to where you want to go. Or my past car I had knowing it has 140,000 miles on it is time to get away from it or be another person with the hood up on the highway! What's holding you back my car get rid of it!

~~~~In psychology, social constraints can be defined as "any social condition that causes a trauma survivor to feel unsupported, misunderstood, or otherwise alienated from their social network when they are seeking social support or attempting to express trauma-related thoughts, feelings, or concerns." Social constraints are most commonly defined as negative social interactions which make it difficult for an individual to speak about their traumatic experiences. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_constraints

~~~~While it might seem counterintuitive, social constraints can sometimes lead to personal growth by pushing individuals to adapt, develop coping mechanisms, and find creative solutions within the limitations imposed by their social environment; however, excessive or oppressive social constraints can also hinder personal growth by limiting opportunities and stifling self-expression. 

How social constraints can promote personal growth:

Challenge and resilience:

Facing social limitations can motivate individuals to work harder, develop new skills, and become more resilient in overcoming obstacles. 

Self-awareness:

Navigating social norms and expectations can prompt reflection on one's own values and beliefs, leading to greater self-understanding. 

Creativity and innovation:

When faced with constraints, individuals might find new and innovative ways to achieve their goals or express themselves. 

Social responsibility:

Recognizing societal issues and limitations can inspire individuals to become more socially responsible and advocate for change. 

Important considerations:

Degree of constraint:

While some social constraints can be beneficial, excessive restrictions can lead to frustration, stress, and hinder personal development. 

Individual differences:

People react differently to social constraints based on their personality, coping mechanisms, and support systems. 

Positive social support:

A supportive social network can mitigate the negative effects of constraints and promote personal growth even within limitations. - AI Overview.
