@drantbradley We were trained to think and react like a single body. Each person played a part and we all knew what that part was. If the part failed, we knew how to react. Basic training taught us how to think like that.
I (88M) took a job helping an old friend (71M) and ended up spending a lot of time with his niece (24F). I tried to be kind to her but she got the wrong idea. I cannot give her what she seeks. I told her about my gf (2778F) and now she is heartbroken. AITA?
Lemme tell you how this works: all you have to do to thwart change in conservative Christian ranks is to frame it as a progressive takeover. “The liberals are coming! The liberals are coming! Woke alert!” When our fear of liberalism exceeds our fear of the Lord, our god is power.
