  • We’re all gross, and we’re all ugly, and we all deserve love. You are included in that equation.

    I’m sorry for your loss.

    Sex is not the only part of a relationship, and being sexually attracted does not mean you should ever feel coerced into it.

    Sex is embarrassing, gross, and silly. With the right person that’s okay and worth doing, with the wrong person it’s not. Your feelings of embarrassment are common and you’re not broken or anything.

    For me relationships are about comfort and belonging more than physical satisfaction, maybe that’s the thing you’re looking for?

    They say there’s somebody for everyone, no matter if you’re pretty or ugly, someone will find you beautiful and love you, try not to let your doubts keep that kind of person away if that’s something you’re hoping for.

    On the other hand, relationships are just one flavor in the medley of flavors life has to offer, society may say you have no worth without an SO but that’s patently false.







  • If the marriage was traditional and the spouse was coerced by either pregnancy or culture to give up aspirations or education, I think alimony is absolutely essential. That person gave up their dreams for a relationship and alimony could help them recover their skills.

    If the marriage was modern and both spouses were equally educated and have professions? Alimony is stupid and archaic.

    For spousal support I assume you mean while married, I think it’s a weird power dynamic to give a significant other money directly.






  • This is a shitpost, but your response is clearly taking it seriously, so I’m responding in kind. Your response is an appeal to tradition, a logical fallacy and not a valid defense of anyone’s behavior.

    The dnc has made many mistakes, any single good decision they’ve made isn’t an honest defense of current poor actions.

    They should not have railroaded bernie, they failed to present a valid narrative and lost to djt twice? Wtf


  • My experience is every person in the US who enters the workforce and gets their first paycheck is always surprised. Since here in the us salary is given in pretax dollars, you never get the amount you’d expect for your first one.

    Otherwise, some complain scout sales tax in the us for a similar reason, especially going from a state with none to a state with a high rate


  • Assuming he owns the place, not much you can do. Definitely keep your code in version control, or at a bare minimum back it up with an automated script or something.

    If he doesn’t own the place, going over their head is an option but a bad one for your longevity at the business.

    I’d say let em do what they want and revert it if you don’t like it. You guys could talk about starting to enforce pull requests as the only mechanism of getting into prod, then your dev team will have a chance to review every line before they go into prod



  • Binary search, there are so many instances where problems in life can be solved by eliminating half of a given set repeatedly.

    Blender broken? There are only so many things that can go wrong, analyze the situation and try to find something that cuts your problem in half.

    1. Is the light on? It’s not electricity and that’s a huge chunk of what makes a blender work.
    2. Light not on? Well now you’ve eliminated (temporarily) mechanical systems and electrical remains. Further splitting that part of the blender means either house power or internal blender power, check the outlet with another machine

    This approach involves further splitting the problem into 2 as evenly as possible each time. It doesn’t make sense to whip out the multimeter if the on light isn’t shining, you don’t need to check on your house’s breakers if the light is on, etc.

    This system works for troubleshooting almost anything, all you have to do is find chokepoints and identify sections of your target. Toilet not flushing, faucet not on, car not starting, neck pain, allergies, it’s almost harder to think of something it doesn’t apply to.
