Hey Ki! Welcome back!

I was gone? It was like...a day.

One day in Kiii years is the equivalent of six human days.

Seems longer.

Odd not to be writing up your journal in the Update Thread.

hahaha no, it's on other websites as well, i think they were just the first to post it.

I'll get back to it. The motivation hasn't really been there.

You think that's the fault of the taxes or the budget?

I guarantee, at least once this week, Trump took a shit in a golden toilet.

Do you have, like, a number that you'd be happy with? The top bracket already has a 40% income tax rate, which is why I was wondering. I think that leveling the playing field when it comes to federal social insurance taxes would help bridge the gap.

Gaslighting. My new favorite word. Used in a sentence: Nearly half of the United States just got severely gaslighted and they don't even know it yet.

The Following Actions are Associated with Gaslighting:

1. Withholding: Your partner pretends not to understand you or flat out refuses to listen to you. He or she might say things like “I don’t want to hear this again.”

2. Countering: Your partner questions your memory, even if you’re sure you know what happened. They say “You’re wrong, you never remember things correctly,” or “You’re imagining things, that never happened.”

3. Blocking/Diverting: Your partner changes the subject to silence you or questions how you’re feeling, saying things like “Is that another crazy idea you got from your (friend/family member)?”

4. Trivializing: Your partner makes your needs or feelings seem unimportant, constantly telling you that you’re too sensitive, or that “You’re going to get angry over a little thing like that?”

5. Forgetting/Denying: Your partner pretends to have forgotten what really happened, or flat out denies promises he or she made to you. He/she will say things like, “I don’t know what you’re talking about” or “You’re just making things up.”
