If you like what I have to say, donโt be greedy. Turn your followers on to my mischief. Slap the repost button or post a rec. Iโm now hurtling toward the 1,400 mark. My target is eleventy billion, and without your help, that may take another 6 months.

See, hereโs the deal. It isnโt even about the chair. Itโs about the emotional freight youโve loaded into the chair. Youโve convinced yourself that if she doesnโt embrace and honor that freight, then she doesnโt love you. But to your fiancee, itโs just about accessorizing a room

Even if you โwin,โ is it fair to force her to nurse your kid in a chair she hates more and more every time she sits in it? Cโmon, dude. Youโve gotta be bigger than that.

Iโm quite certain, given her difficult, impoverished background and her grueling struggle to break into the film business, that she probably has profound insights into the human condition that will no doubt serve her artistic vision.

An exquisite example of an utterly false moment. When is the last time youโve seen a whole panel and large audience silenced and held in thrall by a pontificating blowhard?

And exactly what is his objective. I mean, other than prove she loves him. And what other tests will she have to โpassโ before heโs satisfied. Itโs endless.

Reading the comments, I must say the dynamic here is neither male nor female, but human.
We very rarely argue about what weโre *really* arguing about. And without some introspection that uncovers the core of the actual conflict, it cannot be resolved and, often, veers toward

Every relationship fight is over who loves who more. The difference between drama and melodrama is in what the predicating event is. If it starts with โyou donโt love me,โ itโs the latter. If it starts with, โWhy donโt you ever pick up your socks?โ itโs the former.
Really enjoy the labored huffing and puffing as these intrepid warriors traverse the open ground at a brisk jog, reflecting the slow abolition of school PE and rise of sedentary activities like gaming and internet trolling.

So it appears his sole qualification was his role as a โPayload Specialistโ (i.e civilian passenger) on Space Shuttle Columbia. This is as absurd as it would be to appoint someone to be Secretary of Transportation by virtue of having been a passenger on an aircraft.

Exactly how is that different from working in a career for 20+ years, being replaced by a younger candidate and collecting a severance package that is far less lucrative than alimony?

Mostly because theyโre introduced to him with The Old Man and the Sea, which is a mannered piece of balderdash masquerading as a profound allegory written at the very peak of his believing his own fawning press.

Men have struggled under the same constraints since time immemorial. Women joined the party a half century ago. They blame โthe patriarchy,โ but it is actually due to the hierarchical social structure hard-baked into humans by evolution.

If your organizationโs objective is to marginalize your issue to the bleeding, crazy-pants edge of societal discourse, youโre doing a spectacular job.

Nothing. The problem is intrusively loud soundtracks bury the dialogue in the mix, plus the prevalence of Method acting has resulted in a generation of actors who mumble their lines.

The statistically low life spans of pre industrial individuals was immensely skewed by infant and childhood mortality rates. If you made it past your 8th birthday, barring accidents and misadventure, chances were you would live to a ripe old age.

I remember riding my BMW on the 210 Freeway and rolling over an extension ladder lying across the inside 3 lanes. Sure glad I had a firm grip on my handlebars.

I was on a set, watching the crew's tension rise as a child performer screwed up 30 takes.
No one was mean, but you could cut the tension with a knife; it looked like we might not make our day. Of course, the kid picked up on it. The pressure on him was way too much for any
How did American capitalism become American corporatism? A little at a time and then all at once. The problem is complicated by the drive to purge serious dissent at all levels of society.

An astute assessment, Devon. But I have a few things to add from an insiderโs perspective.

The only company that got resorts like this right was Disney, and even they donโt get it right anymore. The key has always been obsessive cleaning and maintenance. Cut corners on that, and the place turns into a filthy zoo cage in no time.

The main takeaway from this article is that protests and demonstrationsโespecially violent or disruptive onesโare counter effective to achieving goals, unless the goal is social chaos.
Springsteen is beloved as a New Jersey State treasure because all he sings about is packing up his little girl, owning the night, busting free. and riding hard out of this dirty, dead, no-name New Jersey town.

Italy, hands down. Most Americans have no clue regarding the variety and breadth of their regional cuisine. And no other countryโno oneโcan even touch the level of care they take in its preparation. The ingredients are all fresh and curated, farm to table.

Itโs all very simple case of supply and demand. If you have a job that almost anyone can do, you are not going to make as much as people who can do a job hardly anyone can do, no matter how hard you work.
Why did Michelangelo paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel rather than the floor? Because it would get fucked up, thatโs why.
The only reason anyone would choose to render art on the surface of a trafficked roadway is because they *want* it to get fucked up. That way, they
