He is not.

A tariff is a tax that increases the price of imported goods.

Tariffs are used to push people toward domestic alternatives to imported goods.

However, today, there are no domestic alternatives to most important goods.

So, all it’s doing is increasing the burden on the average person.

Companies are not going to invest in domestic production. They are going to spend that money lobbying to have tarriffs removed. Because guess what? Once tariffs go away, consumer prices are not going to go back to what they used to be. Instead, megacorps are going to pocket the difference as profit.

That does sound like potential bipolar disorder.

Either way, there are medications that should be able to help with your symptoms.

Good luck!

It’s not true that you can’t be given a diagnosis.

It’s good that you’ll be speaking to a psychiatrist, because those could be signs of certain disorders. For example, you could have bipolar disorder.

I would eliminate the ability for humans to reproduce.

Have you SEEN people?

A shape can not be copywrited. Copyright is for written, filmed, or musical work, as well at its derivatives.

Shapes can be trademarked, but an oval is not trademarkable because it is a very generic shape.

Why isn’t more soap oval? Economics. It’s far more expensive to mold mass-market soap in round shapes. It’s dramatically cheaper to make it square.

Dove is marketed as a luxury product, so they can charge more and recover the extra cost of production.

In addition to exercises, remember to focus on your posture when sitting, standing, and walking. Stronger muscles won’t help if your posture is still bad.

They use a salamander. (A broiler.) A sort of oven with the heating elements on the top of the chamber.

I do like Roger Rabbit because it’s unrealistic.

What next election?

I noticed your username, blocking you preemptively.

By their nature, techbros are exclusionary toward women/other genders.

So, no gender-neutral term is necessary.

Well, for one thing, Earth has people, and as far as we know every other planet doesn’t.

What you need to do is take a sharp knife, remove the head, then stitch it back on in place more snuggly.

Yes, that’s projection.

No, because I don’t think about her at all.

Since we’re speaking in pure hypotheticals here:

I would just go back and fix the clocks. Every single one of them.

Speaking as someone who did similar:

You will never be able to make him understand why you’re cutting off contact. You may not see that now. Spork knows, I didn’t for a few years. But it’s true, if you try to explain he will simply try to debate or he’ll push you off as immature.

To save your own sanity, all you can do is cut ties completely.

Other people here may offer differing advice. Some of them haven’t been through this situation, so they can’t know the torment you’re going through.

I can only speak from my experience.

Cutting them off was the best thing I did for my mental health. Cutting them off was not easy. I still think of them sometimes, of what might have been. But I’m comfortable with my decision, I’m confident I made the right one. Through plenty of evidence-based psychology, I now understand the reasons.

Getting back to your first question: sometimes, it’s good to be selfish for the right reasons. Maintaining your own health and well-being? That’s the right reason.

Your father’s desire to hurt people is far more selfish than making him discuss something. But if you make him discuss it, he will only act threatened and refuse to see your point of view.

You will only begin to heal once you cut him out of your life. I don’t say that lightly.

Again, if someone hasn’t lived through a situation like this (and hasn’t had to make the same hard decisions), they can’t understand. So don’t be afraid of the naysayers.
