One thing that completely baffles me: why would you let Chloe and myself interact via that secure channel, then essentially get in the way of our marriage? Like, what the fuck is that? She's an adult, I'm an adult. We like each other. Given the drama today over my great-grandfather, it's interesting that the initial assertion was that Chloe and I were from different social classes and hence my fixation was creepy, when our backgrounds are similar. Mental health problems aside, we're friends, and it's fair to say that both of our issues were likely exacerbated by your bs. - Similar feelings about Golriz, but she's not the one that's using my connections, and her issues are very different. It's bloody shit to build relationships via the Five Eyes, and it definitely hasn't made me keener to interact with randoms. - This is why there hasn't been a political party advocating for a republic. Those people are spied on as closely as I (with way more freedom), and any public suggestion that NZ doesn't want to align with America is essentially treason. Even if it's a minor party. Only from outside government can we mobilise. - For my relatives: yeah, you might feel sorry but I don't want to hear it. I'm happy without you in my life. Use the whakapapa if you want.
