There is a positive correlation between how often I post and how poorly my life is going.

  • I was in this situation the chicks side. Not exactly, but close enough.

    I was living and working in the woods. After work some of us were chilling by a lake in swimsuits, one of my camp friends mentioned I had noticeable abs, so I was like fuck yeah. A few of us complimented each other on how tanned and defined we got over the summer. The older coworker walked by, said my body looked great, very beautiful. Mic drop, we all stared at him.

    I said "Creepy." Not articulate, no. But I was instantly uncomfortable. He said "How?" and we told him to just leave.

    Yes, we were young women showing skin and glistening in the sun. But we weren't thinking of being sexy for anyone (who didn't already know) in that moment. He took our ease and comfort and made it about his pleasure.

    He tried to talk to me about it later, alone. I was cordial. Respectful. Because I wanted that conversation to end, because trying to explain the nuances of the female experience just wasn't landing for him. His explanation was about me understanding what he thought and meant, not how I felt. To my friends? I said he was a fucking creep who wouldn't drop it. He complained that I made it weird because one of my friends told him to stop trying to talk to me.

    Women aren't trying to be pretty for you, don't make it about you. If you fuck up, as people do, just back off and accept that you fucked up. The camp police guy probably knew more about her honest opinion than you were ever going to get. Might have gone a bit overboard in some misguided attempt to "protect" the chick he liked, but you sound like you can't take a hint.

  • And they owe a lot on back property taxes.

  • The concept of Luthor is smart. He didn't always have smart writers.

  • Pumpernickel. Even with jam.

  • But Lex Luthor was supposed to be brilliant.

  • Here is a map of basic income pilot programs from around the world.

    Not only has it been studied, the studies have been taking place for over fifty years. Universal basic income is cheaper in practice than the numerous other social programs that help people who either can't work, shouldn't work or can't work enough to afford their needs.

    In a lot of cases the people who choose to work less do so because they have children, health issues or dependants.

  • The children aren't fucking right, they need to be shown.

  • Soviet style mass apartment complexes to combat homelessness but you have to download an app to get in and out, and the app collects and sells all your data. There's a concierge who does spot checks but they accept bribes in fresh fruit, vegetables and old N64 games.

    The internets. Multiple internets, like different streaming services and you need to pay a subscription to each one to access all the websites.

    Rail guns. Everyone will have a rail gun. It will be awesome.

  • I was gonna say this, but not specific to USA and UK. Other countries have thriving music cultures born of immigration we just don't hear about. Nigeria, for example, had a progressive rock scene in the 70's and it was kinda baller. Check out the Lijadu Sisters.

    I've been listening to Creole music all morning as "research" for my next writing project.

    Made me think about the volume of information we take in about other cultures through stories, art, music and food without ever opening a history book.

    Edited for context and to clarify I don't think slavery was a necessary evil. Because I have to do that now.

  • Reading OP's comments and posts I'm not finding anything particularly deep or groundbreaking. I assume OP wrote this about people who disagree with them.

  • Jung noticed this a century ago.

    In a creative writing class we were told there are no new stories. How they're put together and dressed up is a little different, but ultimately it's all been done.

  • What if the straw man is more coherent than the person you're making fun of?

  • The consideration is the exclusive romantic relationship. They wouldn't have given him gifts if they didn't believe they were in a relationship.

    But this is probably fake.

  • For people outside of Canada, Doug Ford called the last provincial election in the middle of winter right after sending Ontario residents rebate checks. It was one of the lowest voter turnouts in history with winter storms impacting a lot of people.

  • Thank you for this. I had to read the article to follow the chain the events.

  • Interesting, I've heard that was a wheat allergy, if you react to flours in general. Since gluten is present in wheat flour, but a wheat allergy may include other grains that don't contain gluten.

    Regardless, I'd find it so difficult it wouldn't be doable to cater to that allergy in a restaurant or store that serves wheat products. There are gluten free production kitchens out there, but they might use other flours that share proteins with wheat, that could trigger an allergic reaction. So yeah, sounds tough as hell.

    To answer your question, to cater to all allergies, we could introduce regulations around opening packaged foods in places that -only- sell packaged products, and I would support it.

    People just shouldn't be eating shit with their hands and touching stuff at the same time anyway, I'm more likely to admonish someone for that.
