Thanks for highlighting, the post has been removed and should not have been published. We are looking into tightening moderation systems to prevent this occurring in future.
By the way, @Dalal Street - if you like, you can create an anonymous account (no email required), and post from it next time and we could then upgrade it for you to where you can post without needing to go through moderation. Because we should be letting you cook, of course :)
This was probably the right call as the thread was veering off into trollish territory as a whole. While we might always get things right as a team of moderators but are experimenting with stricter moderation to make LI a nicer place... We will float some new rules soon for discussion.
Thanks for sharing. Next time, to not be marked trollish, please don't use Musk as a source, the man is a professional troll, and don't use so much hyperbole.
It sounds like you're not able to talk to anyone about how you really feel, including your wife? You said you don't want to hear / consider this, but therapy might be the exact thing that could conceivably help in the space you are in. In fact, it's designed and intended for your situation, and it shouldn't carry the stigma that you attach to it, or have to cause any impact to your self respect (even if you think right now you must make it alone or whatever other reason you might have for feeling this way).
And the fact that you're able to articulate these thoughts you're having in writing, means you already have more self-awareness and perspective than most people in your situation. Give some therapists a go, what's the worst that could happen if you speak your fears out loud?
Nah, it's just boring and repetitive, the topic equivalent of flogging a horse that has been killed in many threads before, and it also seems to lack basis in fact if comments make it out that the guy is basically a Yogi Adityanath equivalent, which none of his public statemtns seem to support.
Publishing but please keep the culture war chat down: this is not a thread to bash or idolise Babones, sekhri or tharoor. So, please think twice before you say something :)
The link works for me but actually haven't been able to find it on Reddit. Are you sure you saw it there or was it in a private forum? Please share the Reddit link. Removing the link to the PDF for now, but have left a screenshot of the References section. It's an article about Lunar Geology.
Please don't quote Musk on LI, it doesn't make you sound smart.
