Lol, I think I made some like that once.

The boring lawyer in me is compelled to point out that, if you are going to do either of those things without getting married, you should absolutely find an attorney and speak to them about it. Because holy crap that house thing will screw you over if you break up. Paperwork is boring, but well worth it.

I was thinking the same thing!

There’s no perfect anything. People will always be judgmental twats.

I’m going to ask Mr Squiggle at the end of the year, once the ring is paid for! We bought a house this year, and I know he’s never going to ask. I don’t want a wedding, but it’s important to me that we formally commit. I’m so excited and have no idea how I’m going to do it!!

It’s who is taking on the active vs. the passive role. Agreeing to marry-passive. Asking to marry-active. For me, asking is active, and is “taking charge” of moving the relationship forward. An ultimatum is ultimately just a way of saying “I need you to be more active/show initiative.”

This is absurdist and not making light of the…

All those hours of homework and you still confuse “have” and “of”.

ok hear me out on this one because I know it goes against everything we’ve been saying for the past 100 years or so, but in my feminist Utopia teen pregnancy would not be discouraged. We would live in a world where women could have children at an age where their bodies have the least trouble getting pregnant and…

The only thing I’ve been carded for in Germany was getting into clubs. That’s impressive.

This is pretty good, but it doesn’t really compare to our version. Kibble.cat (which is the cat version of google on the caternet) has maps that go way more in depth. Like for instance we can kibble the nearest location where cat videos have been played the most on your human devices, and then we can go there and we…

female soccer?

Yeah, I think a lot of guys who do that literally never get challenged on it, so I can see how straight-up just saying “stop, I’m talking” might shock them into silence.
