I'm in that transition and am having the same problem because of my internal clock and habits. I took martial arts for years, and many instructors/schools hold classes part-time in the evenings. So I'd train from around 7 to 9 pm after work, and I'd come home so exhausted from it that I'd pass out easily around 11 or…

My body is so conditioned to working out after work that if I exercise in the morning, like clockwork, I'm falling asleep 3 hours later, because that's what my body is used to. It's like "Oh, we worked out...now bed time!" I still do it sometimes when I have to, but it's not ideal.

Or, you've modified your mindset to better align with your new routine, which helps your skin and wakefulness based on having less stress?

Yeah, I hate waking up early to exercise before work (same problem as you - it's hard to work out after work when work ends at 9 PM) but I feel so much better on the days that I do.

just ONE of the reasons I want a dog!

Same here. I read it as "Sexual assault is always avoidable (because you can choose to not assault another person)."

Another vote for this. This is how I read it. Isn't that what we've been arguing this whole time?

Yeah, I read it the same way.

Me too. I took it as, "No, there is actually no way that someone can make you sexually assault them."

Yep, that's what I thought it meant too. "If you're interacting with a person, be sure not to rape them." Boom. Done.

That is exactly how I read it as well, I was like "Two for you State of Massachusetts! You go Massachusetts!"

That's how I read it, too. I totally get the outrage if you're looking at if from the other way (which rape culture would certainly pre-dispose us to do), but I was actually excited because I was like "YES! It totally is. Don't rape anyone, and rape will be 100% gone!"

YOU WILL DO THIS PSA DAMMIT DANIEL!!

I laughed. He is beautiful, and you stop it right now.

Based on the weddings I've been to in the last several years, I think the key to a good wedding is making sure everybody is well-fed. I don't think I could remember most of the details of the decorations or the bride's dress or anything said in the toasts, but I can still remember the food.

Yeah, that's what I sort of find funny about the term "destination wedding." Every wedding's a destination wedding unless it's happening in the city where you live.

And as an aside: a lot of people in other countries complain that Americans don't travel as much as they could, don't get to know the rest of the world, etc. I live in Europe and I always point out that we don't get much vacation time, and just keeping up with our immediate family, who may live in a number of states…

They used to let us bring in food (and provide it for the kids whose parents couldn't afford that). I recall eating corn muffins before elementary FCAT. Still, that test was soul-sapping.

Uh, Juicy Juice is 100% JUICE. That's why my lame dad always bought me juice boxes instead of super cool squeezable Capri Sun.

You better start having excuses memorized like the 6-carat princess cut engagement ring your rich as fuck future boyfriend better get you in a few years you have memorized.
