LW#1, your “wife” wanted to have that one last meeting in the hopes that she could convince the other dirtbag to leave his wife and family so she could do then same. He turned her down and now she’s going back to the safer choice. Dump her and avoid years of pain and misery. 

Cheaters are shit in my book and not worth wasting your time on. I’ve dealt with this personally and tried to reconcile for 3 years. The only thing I regret is not telling her to piss off the second I found out. Everyone thinks they’re the exception to the rule when it comes to recovering from infidelity. I thought I…

Not that I don’t have many problems w/Greenwald, but that tweet is *very* clearly a joke on the Russiagate buffoons who see Putin’s sinister Slavic visage behind every corner.

Honestly, this is a baffling move... not her dropping out, but her endorsing Biden over her Sanders-stanning from 2016 (and earlier this cycle).

I feel like you were trying too hard to excuse the wife in the first letter. Whatever problems she had that led to her stepping out and starting an affair is HER problem to identify and fix, not Hbh. Her saying that she wants 1 night a week with her lover to help her figure out how she really feels is her telling how…

huh good point, what do you make of this though?

Ok. This is going to ruffle some feathers, but I want to take this opportunity to educate as carefully as I can. While someone saying that the virus is because of Chinese culture is obviously racist, they’re also not (completely) inaccurate. I would never use the term myself, because it implies a lack of knowledge of…

“Why don’t you start with your own people?”

Cool Story Bro

What a minute. Is this the ROOT? Where the constant theme is America is a never to be redeemed racist hellhole? Ah.. this idiot get pounded and fired.

Regardless of what provocation?

Buncha restaurants are closing, permanently, in Seattle due to reduced demand, and anticipated lack of tourist demand. Those people are losing jobs. Any sort of retail business here is feeling the pinch, and the landlords aren’t generally offering rent vacations or anything else to stem the flow. This is already bad,…

Care to expound on your concerns?

The last number I saw was 3.4% for mortality rate, but it’s even higher in the US, like 5% or more.  Possibly skewed because of the old people in Washington, but it’s not a good number any way you slice it when compared to the flu.

I think it might cause a ripple. There seems to be a significant push to get ready to have people working from home. That’s fine for some, but others around here it isn’t feasible since there are physical things that need to be done and they’re trying to find a way around that now.  If they’re putting that much effort…

Did you really equate Ebola as to be as contagious as the flu?!?  Comparatively speaking, Ebola is hard to get.  Just being in the same room with an Ebola infected person will not cause transmission.  Besides, Ebola isn't as bad as Hendra virus on a mortality rate basis.

We should be looking at what happened during SARS. The effects of various flus aren’t true comparisons.

None of those examples got to the US, though. Coronavirus is pretty clear set to be a big-ass outbreak, and it’s really a question of whether it gets into the most vulnerable populations (people with chronic health conditions and people over 55.) If this shit gets into nursing homes and retirement communities it could…

...so why would Corona be any different?
