Yeah - dismissing all polyam relationships and implying the people in them have no standards. But also this person is not engaging in good faith

They're just a hater, honestly. It's

I am glad that the prognosis is still good but also echo the "that sucks" sentiments of everyone else.

Listen, he's tall and symmetrical and if you are a woman of a certain age he once represented the mysterious older man.

That's our polycule show!

My husband is out for the night, I have a "girl dinner" of apps and sides, I have many craft projects, and I have started some laundry. I just need to figure out what ton watch

I don't remember being taught "financial literacy" - I learned about checks in 7th grade math (c 1994-5 ) but I don't remember ever explicitly learning about interest rates or credit cards. But I do think a lot of this stuff gets covered piecemeal or as part of other lessons (e.g. compound interest)

And/or adults who forgot that they WERE taught that in school. Or from adults who graduated HS 20+ years ago and aren't actually familiar with the current curriculum.

My most hubristic trait is that I think I would be fine if Chotiner interviewed me (this is mostly because I am not powerful or important enough to be his subject)

Ah yeah - I live around the corner from a Hindu temple so that is usually where our fireworks usually come from

Are they for Purim or for Holi?

Right, it's one thing to publish a variety of viewpoints on your op-ed page, it's another to try to convince the public that something obviously bad is good, actually

People get real in their heads about "vegan" - like they think it has to have soy in it or something to count! (But also some flavored potato chips are not vegan so it's good to check the label)

Ah, Saturday night. Time to scroll through all our streaming services on a quest to find a movie we both want to watch (the problem is that I want something funny and light but T doesn't like a lot of comedies)

The one caveat is that they may have interactions in which the privacy of the other party needs to be respected

The heartburn and/or migraine I would have...

I could WALK 10 miles but I have never run a mile without stopping before and I don't think a belly full of tacos and beer would help

Teach them to cook a rotation of weeknight meals, find things in the grocery store, do the laundry, and give a back rub that doesn't involve any groping

Anything can be turned into an insult if you mean it that way but my feelings aren't super hurt by someone saying I like things that are good

Because they have no taste of their own

You can't pay for rizz

Maybe this is because I am originally from upstate NY but I have a hard time with the idea that eating maple syrup is something one should be mocked for. That stuff's good as hell

oh no, they might give a trans woman a pregnancy test

One of my mother's life insurance policies includes free grief counseling for the beneficiary, which I know because they have sent me an email and two text messages as well as a voicemail.

Spaghetti

They'll ban it for minors on the grounds of "parental rights"

Misinformation is a huge problem and it's unwise to let AI impressions of people go by as "no big deal" just because they are about something we consider unimportant. Truth matters, even when it's trivial.

At my house we are watching Star Trek

I do not think any of us expected this man to become a champion of women's sports but I am glad it happened

Yeah, I ate them as a child but now I don't even like having them in my house.
