The couple got married on Dec. 11 in Cambridge, celebrating a cozy reception in the Harvard Art Museum. Ten days later, on Dec. 21, they boarded Epstein’s plane in Bedford, Massachusetts, according to publicly available flight logs — bound for Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, the standard jumping-off point for reaching Epstein’s private island by helicopter.

Those logs also list Ghislaine Maxwell, who was later convicted as Epstein’s partner-in-crime, and Epstein’s longtime pilot, Larry Visoski, as passengers on the same flight.

Title. If I believed my country was about to experience large increases in inflation, similar to Turkey how can I best position myself for the future and what should I take care of now, before it happens?

Would it make sense to only make minimum payments against debt? Should I spend money instead of saving it? If I don't need to make a large purchase now but will in the future, should I go ahead and do it?

edit: I'm talking about 30%-80%+ inflation folks, not the kind of inflation most developed countries have exprienced in recent memory. If someone had enough money to invest in things which could survive that then they wouldn't have to worry about debt payments and making big purchases. I am asking for practical advice for the average person, not a way to invest.

It was suggested by my therapist that one way of coping with anxiety and depression are journal prompts.

The point seems to be to have a purpose when journaling. So instead of writing down whatever one is thinking and feeling, take a specific topic to write about and focus on that.

I think it's an interesting idea. So, what are some good journal prompts?

BRENDEL: I think TNG is straight, DS9 definitely is gay, and Voyager is bisexual, I don't even think there's a debate on that

CAPTAIN CHAOS: TNG is a little gay. It's at least exploring some shit.

A: TNG likes a finger

CAPTAIN CHAOS: They know there's a button and want to learn

Does anyone else have or had a problem creating and maintaining a female self image in your mind? I can barely do it if at all, and it can be a little distressing. I can only see myself as the overly masculine body that I currently have.

I'm not on HRT nor presenting as a woman in public. Maybe if I was my self image would change?
