Well like I said, your post brings up an interesting idea about what exactly separates pride from shame. So you make a really good point about the control taking the wheel, but what separates pride from shame in this circumstance? Is doing something to defend your pride not also doing something because you feel shame in it?

I respect why you disagree, but the modern conservative movement is the reason why late stage capitalism doesn't work. Have you read Mutual Aid by any chance?
Pride would be saying 'I don't need your help i"m capable of taking care of this by myself'.
Shame would be hiding the fact that you couldn't.

I have not read that book. I don't have adult ADD, or at least i haven't been diagnosed as having it, but I have had trouble reading for a few years now. lots of unfinished books. I've got 4 books of no consequence i have to get through so I can tell the people who bought them for me as gifts what I enjoyed about them. They're just staring at me. Coldly.

I'm only seeing the one report of porn spam (not from Sketch). For that matter you've only been reported less than a dozen times, and at least one of those was someone screwing up and hitting report instead of reply.
Cheers!

I think im the only person who got the reference on first read.
"You want the blue or red ones? Cuz my guy can get a deal on the blue"
"What do I care im not gonna pay for it"

Seems that way. I new you would.
 
Thats a tough one. If its financial then its probably more than pride; more likely a combination of pride, fear, shame, hopelessness. You're going to have to bring your A-game to get him/her to crack and then probably hold his/her hand through the solution process at least as far as getting some inertia going. Do you know a person in finance? Might be a good idea to get some recommendations from that person so you can take 2 step seamlessly and maybe anonymously depending on pride factor.


This is more of a case of someone being retired and having run out of savings. I think just giving money is the only help option.

oof. That is a tough one. You could make sure they're signed up for any/all the assistance he/she qualifies for.

Didn't you say that The Savage Detectives was your favorite book? Not exactly something I'd expect from someone who has trouble getting through stuff. Long and without a lot of momentum (great, but definitely not a page-turner).

not my favorite book, but I liked it a lot. The opening story is definitely a page turner (imo), but yeah the 2nd part lacks momentum. It took me like 2-3 tries to get through that one, too; started fresh each time because I didn't know the 2nd half wasn't really dependent on the first half.
