Married, happy, and doing financially ok (house paid off but no real savings). Life would have been a lot harder with kids.

Can someone explain the anger part to me, because I feel like it resonates with me, but can’t say why.

How to debone a chicken:
First, remove the orgasms from inside the body cavity and set side.
Wash and dry the children.
Place the chicken in the rectum of a live cow to tenderize for three hours.
Turn the cow inside out and remove the chicken.
Coat the chicken in a thin brine of jet fuel and dust with flour.
Tie the legs of the chicken to a doorknob with a line of dental floss and save for later.
Ignite the chicken and catch it in a 2 quart greased pan at 425 degrees.
The bones will slide out easily.

Hey guys, this right here is a super valuable point to address and really strikes straight to the heart of the ability of a system like this to give the illusion of choice. People absolutely will still think, despite this, they are still in control and we need to address it not dismiss it.

I’m undoing the downvote on this comment, it absolutely is a big part of the conversation, even if you think it’s naive.

“we found out about some bad things that happened to you as a child, do you want us to tell you what we found out?” Is a perfectly valid way to ask for informed consent before doing something to them they may not want.

So you are arguing against consent?

You aren’t wrong, I’m just saying that when I was a kid it was more that they didn’t care to accommodate your “special needs”, not that they were trying to be responsible.

Responsible is also not trusting strangers with something that can kill you.

It really hasn’t though. When I was a kid if you went to a restaurant and tried to get special requirements they’d just tell you to go somewhere else if you didn’t like it.

All this allergy sensitivity stuff in good service emerged within my lifetime.

And I agree, why would we ever expect that sort of responsibility to be left in the hands of under paid under trained fast food workers?

Sure, in a perfect world we could train them all perfectly, but it’s not a perfect world, if someone can kill you that is harmless to everyone else, it’s on you to take precautions. Get your coffee black and doctor it yourself or something. Or trust a random teen who doesn’t really understand what is on the line, it’s up to you.

There are no roles, only consequences. The real question here is what are the consequences, and we can’t know that.

There’s usually a four prong power connector on the top left corner of the motherboard. I always forget that one, nothing works without it plugged in too.

A lot of men are desperate to connect with other people and for validation.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

If your opinion is that kittens are cute, I’m on board. If your opinion is that everyone over 30 should be sterilized unless they are in a top 10 percent earning category, you’re going to have to work for respect for that, and better have a damn convincing argument.

Frustration is usually the difference between what we expected or wanted and what we got. Patience is learning to let go of what we expected and accept what is.

If you can stop seeing this as something wasted and start seeing it as just a different circumstance, it may help you get past your emotions and start focusing on what to do next.

Huh, they haven’t been doing that here… I figured that must have been the new thing. How annoying.

…along with photo ID…

My college had a french fry vending machine. That was pretty awesome.

I prefer the cellular peptide cake myself.

So if Satan wanted to, for example, make it so everyone would fail to meet the entry requirements for heaven laid out in the old testament, and end up on hell… could he, theoretically of course, pretend to be the son of God and “change the rules” so that sin is totally ok as long as you say sorry before you die?

Asking for a friend.

They made a blood tithe they feel can never be repaid. Compared to that it’s pretty clear they see all this *waves hand around* as trivial amounts of collateral damage.

Do Mormons not use the poophole loophole?
