One of my closest reconnected friends F21 recently told me something that happened to her by her boyfriend of two years. He has been doing sexual acts to her without asking for months and recently has been putting his genitals in her bottom and not lubricating or saying anything at all. Like not even asking if it’s okay.. she hasn’t said anything because she’s afraid to. She’s very shy and shuts down when things like this that are horrible happen. I told her this isn’t okay and that you should both be on the same page of what’s happening sexually between each other. They’ve been having other issues besides this also. She said he was very rough during it and she bled also. She’s struggling with understanding that it is considered as SA. I wanted to take a pole to see what other woman think. She needs to hear others opinions besides mine as I’m the only one who knows. Also advice on how to help her through this would be much needed too. Thank you.

Employers continually say they want candidates with "soft skills" as the "hard skills" will be readily apparent and presumed from college / military / apprenticeship / internship experience.

In my experience, the "INTER-personal skills" are:
1) Coachable to a degree
2) Improve w/ experience
3) Result from BOTH internal AND external factors / influences

IMHO, the "INTRA-personal skills are the most important, most elusive and most difficult to quantify. More to the point, you have them or you don't. There's no faking it or experiences that can teach you them. The qualities listed are innate and fixed.

I would even add some more innate ADVANTAGES (NOT SKILLS) like charm, humor, self-deprecation, good looks, ability to read the room, small talk, wit, excellent memory, selflessness, diverse interests, fashion sense, complimentary, etc.

Given all this, we've been asked to interview two candidates for the job of POTUS.

Which candidate has the better package of INTRA-PERSONAL skills?

Which candidate has more / better soft skills among the ones I listed in 4th paragraph?

Now the hard part, can you PLEASE GIVE REAL CONCRETE EXAMPLES OF YOUR CHOSEN CANDIDATE DISPLAYING THOSE QUALITIES. ACTUAL EVENTS & CIRCUMSTANCES!! The more examples of more qualities would be very helpful to me! KEEP IT POSITIVE!! NO NEGATIVITY!!

For you young uns, I'll explain what MS Office is in the update!

All women want equality. But women don’t date their equal.

If you look at Elon musk all the women he has kids with are minuscule in comparison to him. Same is going to happen to me, I’m going to live this great life and do amazing things just to attract a girl who is nowhere near as good as me just has a pretty face and smiles at me. For me that’s enough.

The point I’m making is that women demand equality yet they don’t want equality in a man, they want to be equal to an excellent man. It’s bizarre

Where is the fairness in that? A woman earning 50k doesn’t want a man earning 50k for example. That’s not enough for her.

Christ said if your eye offend you, pluck it out. Seek the truth at all costs, you will find it.

Odin actually gave up an eye for wisdom in his mythology, in return, he got two ravens that would search the world for him. who gave him the ravens? Odin was chief God. in the Nordic myth, there is the logos spoken of by John / Jesus, that rewards you for good behavior, even rewarding the gods.

it's also just a crazy metaphor for science. which "coincidentally" developed in the same nations.

"philosophy has gone astray. natural philosophy must use new technology to hone our eyesight, meticulous data to fix our memory, and limit fanciful extrapolations. we need to become more honest and more stupid to learn what is true." Robert Hooke, 1660, discovered and drew the first cells under a microscope

I find it hard to find a girl that wants to have kids and be a mother. Also not a girl that just wants like 1 kid. I want a large family.

I really see the huge collapse in population happening.

I've been bullied- shocking- and while theyre bad memories I used it as ammo for this fcking world. Sure... other white boys use actual bullets. But I don't think it's because of bullying. It's psychopathy.

I remember seeing the diaries of the Columbine kids. Not one page about bullies. Just hatred for the world.
