curious now as to what dark jarchie entails

There's various flavors of Jarchie but one compelling aspect, to me, is Jughead's unending devotion to and idolization of Archie. Archie is basically a saint who can do no wrong, he stands for all that's good in the world and even if he missteps he doesn't MEAN it like that. No matter what Archie does, he will always forgive him, but there is one thing Jughead cannot let Archie do and that is leaving.

This can have two outcomes: Archie snaps and Jughead helps burry the bodies and cover his tracks or Jughead snaps and pours molten bronze over Archie's body so he stays perfect forever. Neither of those things actually have to happen for jarchie to be compelling to me, but the potential is there. And I like exploring the lengths Jughead would go through for Archie while also refusing to fully see Archie as a person rather than an ideal.

I have a day off on Friday because I had plans that didn't work out. But now I'm wondering if I should just be spontaneous and buy a ticket for a random flight and go on a little adventure

Idk I guess I’m on a roll but like. Marriage to me isn’t just a declaration of “I love this specific person”. It isn’t this excuse to have a big, expensive ceremony.

Marriage is a contract that states, “In the event of my death this SPECIFIC PERSON is who i want to take care of. If I die, I want all my shit to go to them, ie my house, my money, my life insurance money, my kids if i have them, my pets, etc. If I become unable to make medical decisions for myself, this is who I trust to make those decisions for me.” And like…I really don’t know if enough people ask themselves “Is this who I want to take care of if I die? Is this someone I trust to make medical/financial/etc decisions in the event I’m unable to make those decisions for myself. Is this the person I want to make those decisions for in the event they’re unable to?”

I get that it’s scary to think about those things. The average person probably doesn’t enjoy thinking about death and sickness that way but like…I really think we have to get people over their fears of those things. They are facts of life. Marriage requires you asking and answering [TRUTHFULLY!] those questions. DO YOU trust your partner to make those decisions for you? Do you trust yourself to make those decisions for your partner?

You need to be able to say yes to all of that without a shadow of a doubt. Otherwise, don’t get married. Don’t legally tie yourself to someone you don’t trust with any of that.

b) the school was like surprise I hope you weren't planning on using the money you actually budgeted based on our website because actually that was wrong and you have less :/

c) I may have finally achieved course sign up success

I'm approving a patient for in patient physical rehabilitation for a month. Patient has all the diagnoses, both chronic and acute, including a pain condition and mobility issues, so there's zero issue with me approving the entire thing.

The hospital informed us that the patient, despite being aware of what's happening and them and having no memory issues, has problems with orientation and maintaining a psychological equilibrium if not provided with a familiar, stable environment. It is therefore vital their spouse come along. Again, I've got all the magic words I need to toss money at that too.

The suggested hospital is on an island an 8 hours' drive away from the patient's home address (one way, under optimal circumstances, provided no breaks are taken). They do not have a department for rehabilitative care, nor do they have an in patient department for the diagnosis listed as motivation for this entire thing. There's at least 6 major cities with excellent, objectively superior rehabilitative medical care on the way to the ferry over.

Hospital claims nothing about this choice of clinic contradicts the needs of this patient. It's purely incidental that this rehab is planned on one of the swankiest vacation spots in the country, just as tourist season starts. Also, we can't deny a patient rehab if there's a medical need for one. (:

Ngl joining the jedi order sounds like the ideal life to me because just imagine:

1. People regulate thier emotion and communicate to you logically. No need to understand social cues when you're an empath.

2. No pressure to marry, be in a romantic relationship and live in a nuclear household my entire life.

3. I can just?????? Help people?????? Without the extra cost of a system working me to the ground to achieve certain things????

4. No strings attached companionship and friendships? Amazing.

5. A caring and respectful community who council each other and accepts who I am as a person? Count me in.

6. Lightsaber go brrrrrrrrrr

7. Being able to do what I want career wise (Gardening, art, politics, piloting, exploring, childreering, medicine, teaching, etc.) without having to worry about money.

8. Tax fraud
