I'm in freaking Florida and we have freeze warnings and my cat is trying to crawl INTO my sweater. My dearest Canadian friend, who lived here for years, and vacations in Maine and just moved to Boston is even overwhelmed. I know I shouldn't whine because it's still warmer here than everywhere else, I grew up in…

Oh sure it's all fun and games to ignore California and our "nice" weather now, but East Coasties, wait until Foodpocalypse happens this summer and you have to spend $20 on a head of lettuce imported in from Mexico.

Today, my cat, whose life goal is to get outside and eat grass, snuck past me. Instead of scampering for the bushes as he normally does, he sat on the step looking gobsmacked by the cold, yowled like he was being murdered and smacked the front door desperately. I let him in and he proceeded to hide under the bed. He…

Yeah, my ex had a relationship with another woman while we were together, and at the same time I caught him flirting with other women. When I found everything out I was just thinking, how did you even have time for all of this? How did you manage to keep every lie straight? That's sounds miserable and exhausting.

Not a scientist, but what if 'stage in life' has at least as much pull as 'phenotype'> It's reasonable to assume people's needs and reach vary over time. What if you're more promiscuous when younger for reasons of curiosity/experimenting, opportunity and/or hormone levels, and later you're more monogamous because 1)…

Promiscuity sounds exhausting. How do you juggle all those partners? I was briefly involved with a poly lady and (seriously, not to be judgmental!) she had to like, keep a schedule of when she could see all of us. That seems like way too much work! (EDIT: I'm also pretty disorganized. So.)

I was promiscuous AF in my youth and am now in a happily monogamous relationship. I wonder what the research says about people's preferences changing over time.

Exactly.

Oh I would read those! I'm not really in that territory yet— 29, no kids— but I still find stories and tips from fellow womenfolk to be great!

Of course Jez skews young, and that's awesome! It's a big reason why I love it.

Why do so many men have this fantasy of women watching them play video games for hours on end? Like that's a thing that should be fun for anyone not playing the video game? It sounds so absurdly selfish and self-centred.

I have no tolerance for watching people play video games so dating Ansel Elgort sounds like hell on earth.

BARRRRFFFFFF OH MY GOD

I dunno, nothing gets me in the mood like watching some milquetoast kid play videogames for 3 hours. It's like female viagra.

Three hours? By that point, my sexual pressure cooker has gone cold and stale. Not even a quick microwave's gonna be able to reheat that shit.

once upon a time i liked him. now i must watch him play 3 hours of gta just to have sex... PRE REQUISITES

Another HORRIFYING part of the Ansel Elgort interview:

I think it's best to stick to the "eat in moderation". Use common sense. Don't have a plateful of bacon in one sitting. Or an entire McCains cake. Have a little bit of everything and it's ok to indulge in sweets/tasty foods as long as you're not gorging on them regularly.

Next up is salt. My sister, who is a medical doctor, has informed me that the guidelines for sodium intake are not only based on very little science, but may actually be guiding people towards consuming not enough sodium.
