Sean Hannity Reveals His Father Beat Him in c/news@hexbear.net

I got hit with a belt once or twice, a hand maybe once or twice. It wasn’t the worst thing my dad did either. All of his bullying, drinking, and mean words were much worse. It was only until the last 5-8 years we could have a good relationship. Even if you think getting hit by a belt by your dad isn’t bad, it’s indicative of their parenting style which in my experience where the negative feelings come in.

I’m in a happy long term relationship but thoughts of dating other people keep overpowering me. (hexbear.net)
 

I have been in a long term relationship with my girlfriend but I keep getting overpowering feelings of wanting to date other people.

My girlfriend and I have been together almost 7 years now. We have a great life together and I love her dearly. She’s my best friend who I talk to all the time, we always have so much fun when we do things, we travel, great sex, etc. Recently talk of engagement has been popping up which I’m not ready for even though we’ve been together for so long. Despite that, I’m very happy with our relationship.

I do envision spending the rest of my life together and building toward a great future but recently I’ve been experiencing feelings of wanting to date around. I never dated before her. She’s my first partner and only women I’ve had sex with. As I’m getting into my late 20s I feel like I’ve missed out on dating and meeting knew people. Before my girlfriend I never had the confidence to ask girls out, I skipped all of my high school dances, and I had trouble talking to girls in person. I have a lot of regret because of my lack of confidence at that time.

Now I’m confident and much better socially. I just want to experience the thrill of dating. This is despite having a great partner who I love dearly. I’ve been trying to stop these feelings of wanting to date others for months but they’re stronger than ever. I know the grass is not always greener on the other side and dating is not easy. It’s also likely I won’t ever meet someone as good as my current partner. But I can’t shake these feelings. I don’t want to be 40 and having regrets when I already have so many.

What should I do? What other perspectives can I think of? Sorry for the relationship rant, but this site always gives great advice.

My hometown has a place called the galloping ghost arcade. I think it’s the largest arcade in North America. One of my favorite places.

Arcades need a revival. No bar arcades.

Unless it’s a service animal, I don’t like when dogs are in public buildings. Tired of trying to buy food at the grocery store but having to dodge dogs and avoid stepping over their leashes. This anger is mostly directed at their owners as I’m skittish around dogs I don’t know.

Gordon Ramsay made a show about teaching prisoners how to cook so they have a skill for when they get out. He’s one of the good ones!

Why do self proclaimed “history buffs” only care about WWII history? (hexbear.net)
 

We all know the white guys who call themselves history buffs but only have a limited knowledge of WWII which is based on history channel documentaries.

As a Marxist, I look at Adam Smith as an economist who was examining the necessary advancement of political economy. The wealth of nations is a book that mostly observes the emergence of a new economic system. We all believe in historical materialism, Adam Smith fits right in for us because he advocated for a newer and more efficient economic system which was an improvement over the mercantilism of the day.

He also correctly identified the contradictions and drawbacks of Capitalism just as it was getting started. I never read his other book but it’s the opposite of “men only act in their self interest” or so I’ve heard.
