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.

This is my favorite comment so far this week. /unexpectedShakespeare

I love alternative vamps.

I once played a post-Atlantean vampire who lived in the PNW, taught ancient history (night classes,) and liked to draw. She also didn't believe in killing any more. She had a lot of back story and a bad accent in every language. She also had a cracked sense of humor and was only mostly sane.

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.

This is good advice. We had a Firbolg bard who loved to cook. Characters are more than combat.

Harmonica or accordion.

I was getting harassed by my dealer to buy a new car, and I said I didn't like the new cars and all their "features." He said "fair enough" and left me alone after that.

When I stared into my husband's eyes as he calculated the consequences of beating me in front of our 2yo.

Followed closely by being ordered by a judge to allow him at the birth of my second child that he had claimed wasn't his fifteen minutes previously.

First, you're not OP, so I can only imagine that you're taking something personally that has nothing to do with you.

Second, nothing in this post mentioned trauma. Being harassed by invasive questions isn't trauma, it's just humans trying to be social.

Third, if instead of working on your trauma you're trolling internet discussions and inserting yourself whenever you think you can successfully play the victim, you do not have my sympathy.

Everyone told me I was like my dad.

Because by 40, most people are past these kinds of shenanigans.
