In general, I agree with what you’re saying, and that was my initial reaction to this article, too. The flip-side to that is asking ourselves whether we want to continue to accept such a low quality of life standard from jobs as a “normal” life condition. That’s not to suggest that we fixate on some demand for…

And for FUCK’S SAKE don’t get pregnant! If you tell him you want to leave he might try to lovey-dovey you for a few weeks and then boom! baby.

I was thinking, this sounds a lot like being married to an alcoholic: his free time planned around one specific activity and becoming angry when he’s asked to stop doing it for even one night; blaming the spouse for her unhappiness and suggesting she’s a nag, or she never lets him have any fun; the disinterest in sex…

Yes, they sound younger-they should split and start over instead of throwing good money after bad.

The fact that this is his problem to fix but she is being told to do all the work blows my fucking mind.

it’s important you actually make plans with him ahead of time for those non-gaming nights ... Plan some fun dates that get him off his ass and out of the house. Help him find the excitement in the real world again.

Um, she already was doing everything you suggested? Planning activities, initiating sex/creating romance (whatever that means) and his response is defensiveness, disinterest, and insults. This guy is a walking red flag.

Did she not know she was marrying a gamer manchild before, or...? I wonder how old these people are that all night every night gaming binges are even a possibility for this dude.

One more thing, and this is my personal passionate opinion. I know others might work differently, but for me personally: if I’m trying to lose weight, STOP OFFERING FOOD.

My tip: Invite your friends to dinners in rather than dinners out. Perhaps this is only tangentially fitness related, but diet matters so much when hitting both weight loss and fitness goals. If your friends typically hang out at restaurants and bars, that becomes a real minefield for the friends trying to shape up.…

I thought the author meant it as don’t throw it in your sisters face because she’ll turn it around and use it against you since you live rent-free. Me, I go for the jugular. I’d start bringing up baby daddies, not graduating high school, being a miserable parent, being stuck with kids while she isn’t (kids are great!…

St. Louis has fun with a lot of French words. “Chouteau” is “show-tow.”

Hawaiians are Native Americans.

We’ve got at least two of those in Illinois: Cairo (prounounced Kay-row) and Milan (prounounced My-lan). I want to say there’s a third city in there I’m also forgetting.

See also: Cairo, Illinois. Lima, Ohio. Charlotte or Lake Orion, Michigan. And my personal favorite, Bellfontaine, Ohio.

They didn’t, probably. A search on a desktop machine, made just now, brings up the same box shown in the screenshot. However, to the right of that is a picture of Trump and some bio facts grabbed from Wikipedia. Basically an extended version of what your screenshot has at the very top.

One thing that helps me is “drawers” — bins or boxes to contain like items like cans, empty jars that I keep for food storage and such. These can be fancy, purpose made bins, or Amazon cartons I re-use. For instance I think your oils and condiments would do well in a series if such drawers

I was thinking of staleness from fats gone rancid, but you’re right that early-stage staleness might be just dryness.

While this is far from an expert opinion, based on all the Giant Sequoias I have seen, the hollowness was probably natural, so I doubt cutting into it a bit would have made much of a long-term difference. You are talking about maybe a few decades for a tree that may have been a seedling during the time of Moses.
