But those are all personality traits you need to discover and address before you’re married. If you’re the one bringing those concerns, you need to get yourself in check before jumping into long term relationships.

My partner and I are like this. We’ve been together for 14 years and are legit best friends.

I have a feeling too many people paired off right away and decided their first serious relationship was the one, and never actually found an equal. Maybe they married more out of fear of being alone rather than actual desire, or they just can’t tell the difference between sexual novelty and love.

Even a lot of my married friends start identifying more with boomer humor than romance after 2 or 3 years. Way too many communication issue, or ideas of traditional roles or how things ‘should be’ leading to resentment or exasperation.

Court long and marry late. And don’t hide your real self when dating.

Cool. How about 80 to 90%?

That’s a caveat I inform people of beforehand. I am really into movies, but I have very discriminate taste, so I don’t watch very often because movies are generally dogshit. All my friends know, I will watch anything with them, but I’m going to talk mad shit the entire time. This is a really fun group activity in most cases, and often helps less informed people see through the bullshit that is modern media, but sometimes there’s someone who doesn’t get it, or needs to hyperfocus on the screen.

That signifies to me:

1. This person doesn’t understand the point of hanging out in a group

2. This person falls for blatant marketing

3. We will probably not be good friends

You’re supposed to vaguely imply the existence of those, not just give away secrets in public bruh

It replaces paying for Spotify because its possible to download Spotify premium. Best of both worlds. Use Spotify or YouTube to find stuff, send it to a seedbox, load it later at home.

Biggest downside is most phones don’t have SD card slots anymore.

If we want to get conservatives on board with environmental protections, we should just start a conspiracy that the perceived rise in trans people, gays, and autistics is due to plastic ester groups in the environment. Then tell them that these groups are represented in the media so much now because the petrolium companies don’t want us to see it as a problem when the science breaks.

Brb, gotta go convince some trumpers single use plastic is making their kids gay.

Semi pro chiming in here: the infographic took an idea and ran the wrong way with it. Women are more sensitive to color, but it has to do with the context. They pick up more subtle colors without direct comparison. Its not that men can’t see the difference between lavender and piriwinkle when they’re next to each other, they’re just more likely to think their the same color if viewed sepparately.

It’s also worth noting that around age 35, both sexes lenses have yellowed enough that there’s no notable difference.

Nail clippers it is.

Most of the grass i have is different from my neighbors, so I would assume it’s some kind of native saw grass. The blades are significantly wider and more coarse.

I don’t know what bind weed is, but I like dandelions okay. You kind of have to, you’re never going to win against them.

Just tell yourself bees like them.

Where im at, if I didn’t mow until June my lawn would be three feet tall and i’d have several tickets. Still, I don’t mow until may, and then just the front for another few weeks.

You want biodiversity? Don’t weed, don’t spread any pesticides or growth chemicals, and don’t let the natural grass go so long it chokes out the other plants. And the real key, is don’t do any of those things for years. From the street, my yard looks like a yard. It’s a different color than the neighbors, but it’s still green. Up close, it’s a salad. More violets, Moss, clover, flowers, wild lettuce, and a hundred things I can’t identify than grass. Its full of bees, caterpillars, beetles, butterflies, and stick bugs.

I got my neighbor on board, and we’re single handedly keeping fireflies alive in the city. I started seeing bugs I haven’t seen since I was a kid.

As an added bonus, since it’s a smaller proportion grass, I don’t have to mow half as often to keep it looking ‘nice’.

I’m not an ecologist, but I feel like it’s a solid step in the right direction.

Well yeah fuck that guy and this program and it’s implications, but this particular issue doesn’t sound too unexpected considering the scope of the procedure.

I’m all for the science, but you know this is going to be some directly streamed ads hellspace we’ll never escape from if it comes to fruition.

Here’s a good rule for this sort of thing to move forward: No implants before right to privacy and freedom from advertising.

You should never do anything that isn’t fun. Everything is fun if you make it so.

I though it was shitty games done quick. I would check that out.

Line from a solid song by a local band i found when i was 16. Oddly enough, it never occured to me how much i liked it as a name until a decade later.

I’ve played most of the metroid games, and i know theres a ton of nostalgia for super metroid, but to this day nothing has matched the feeling of exploration and awe from Metroid Prime. Every place in the game was so radically different, and the ability to scan and learn about the environment was so unique, and exactly what i didn’t know i needed. Learning the lore and finding out what happened to the planet only by analyzing everything made the world feel like it had died, and it’s death was a tragedy. All the enemies you encounter are just local animals that don’t know better, or had been corrupted by pollution. That is, until about halfway through the game when you meet actually hostile, malicious intelligence, and the combat steps up exponentially.

It’s fantastic. I still remember being amazed at the fogging and raindrops showing up on the visor the first time you step off your ship on Talon IV. I had never seen graphocs so good, and such attention to detail, and the game was already 4 years old.

The only game i’ve ever played that felt similar was subnautica, and while it had the wonder, it lacked the melancholy and insane combat.

Prime is the best in the series, hands down.

A glen?

My industry is full of pseudoscience and liars. I can’t fault them for not knowing, and probably came off as more harsh than i intended.

I correct patients all day, and got pretty burned in the long long ago on reddit by people who “know better” patting themselves on the back and getting my factual information downvoted to oblivion.

Focusing close regularly doesn’t make you short sighted, not getting enough tourquoise light on your retina from staying inside makes your eye keep getting longer instead of stopping when the focal point is correct. Well, that and genetics.

And losing the ability to see near as you age has nothong to do with pressure. Your lens is constantly adding new layers to itself to stay clear, and after 40 it’s become so thick the muscles that pull it to accommodate near vision can’t stretch it enough. By 58 it doesn’t stretch at all any more. That’s why everyone eventually needs bifocals/progressives.

Don’t state things as fact if your not sure of them.

I’m sure that’s just a perk and not indicative of the new age of captured information wer’re currently living through.
