Based on watching my Borzoi decide whether or not to sneak into the kitchen, I’d say yes.

To be fair, being married to a previous president is more experience than most people have.

Being suicidal weighs about 50 pounds for me.

I’d not change much, just my suicide weight, a couple of functional issues, and a few troublesome moles.

Somebody skipped the checks and balances lesson in 10th grade American History, eh?

Just so you know, these guys are invasive and do their best to kill native species of birds.

I hope to never go back to office. Remote has been a life changer. I have time to keep weeds out of my garden. The flexibility to have workers at my house whenever they are available. The freedom to set up my desk how I like it. Time to eat breakfast. I don’t get headaches every day any more from the lighting. I get to go outside during breaks for some sunshine time. I’m here when the kids come home.

My work is more focused. No more road stress. I may be able to move to a place I can tolerate. No more wearing makeup that is bad for my skin. No more having to pack a lunch. My life is infinitely better without having to commute.

Reproducing doesn’t grant meaning. Sheesh.

That’s not even close to true. Don’t believe what Hollywood and Disney are trying to sell. Having a partner doesn’t grant meaning or satisfaction with life, nor does not having one bar you from either.

The kind of people who are happy with someone tend to also be the kind of people who are happy single.

“Forever Alone” is a carrot, not a stick, my man.

I remember the day I finally realized I was being left alone. It has been glorious. Best part of getting older. It’s so nice to simply exist in my own space.

I think that’s one of my earliest blocks. Lol.

I’ve blocked half of the ones you list. Lol.

We could always go back to html chats. Hotelchat, Webmaze…

Because when it comes to survival until procreation, you don’t need more than two sets.

Haha. Marriage is just the beginning. Not anywhere close to actualization. And if you have kids, you’ll realize you’re still at the beginning.

It’s not like bees pollinate for our benefit.

There’s a reason animals run away from the monkeys with pointy sticks. We eliminated the ones that don’t until we got comfortable enough that we had the luxury of turning them into various forms of entertainment, and therefore had a reason to preserve some.

Communist West Germany? You mean East Germany?

Because I lived there when the Wall came down, and I can tell you based on the huge influx of Eastern Germans who had floorboards you could see through that quality was not a priority.

I think it’s more that they are trying to solve the problem by changing the dev team processes, when the biggest factor of success is developing the RIGHT thing. But since most tech managers have risen up from the ranks of devs, and they have a hard time understanding that other people have valuable skills they don’t, they have no idea how to hire good designers and refuse to listen to them when they happen to get one.

Harmonica or accordion.
