  • It introduces more factors to consider. One, the kids will be involved in the relationship, so that's more people that have to get along well. Two, they take up time, energy, and resources that could otherwise go to the relationship. Three, the parents are more anchored to their current life, so things like going on vacation or moving become much more complex and expensive. Four, the person will almost certainly have to maintain a relationship with their ex/other parent of the children. Five, if you yourself want to have kids, they may not be willing to do so anymore.

    I acknowledge that having kids has its benefits too though. It's not all bad.

  • I can't speak on Washington and Adams in regards to their dislike of NYC, but relevantly, Jefferson had a unique understanding of freedom. To him, freedom wasn't a list of established rights protected by government. He was a major opponent of government and would likely agree to many anarchist ideals of today. Most founding fathers would likely agree that when they were discussing freedom, they meant freedom from England and monarchies. Jefferson was on another level though; he was extreme with the idea of freedom. Freedom was the ability for someone to live exactly how they pleased without any outside influence, both physically and mentally. It was a natural right for every single person to do whatever they pleased with their life as long as it didn't affect anyone else's ability to live their life as they pleased. Governments, churches, large companies, etc. were in strict opposition to this ideal of freedom. In practical terms, that means he had a vision of the USA as a land of self-sustaining farmers so that no one would be dependent on others to live or think. He was truly revolutionary in that sense. To him, urban areas were rife with corruption of not only politics and economy, but also ideas. He had a disdain for anything centralized: cities, government, churches, etc. He was the main advocate for the separation of church and state. Fun fact! Last I checked, when someone swears on a Bible in an American court, they swear on a Jeffersonian Bible which has all supernatural phenomenon omitted.

    I think that the most influential American in the history of the USA is Jefferson, followed by Adams and then Washington. Jefferson was extreme in his vision of freedom, and those ideals are entrenched in the US Constitution. However, he was somewhat hypocritical with how he lived his life considering he became a president, owned slaves, and even let Louisiana continue slavery. In contrast, Adams was a principled person that truly held to his values and beliefs. He advocated for abolition of slavery and didn't own slaves. He even defended British troops that killed Americans because he was steadfast in his belief that valid legal trials not only protect citizens from government overreach, but that is the only way to achieve legal truth. Washington is famous and popular, but he didn't have the impact on foundational ideals that the other two had. Washington was more concrete and likeable. He was a practical leader. Shit...I'm digressing. Back to Tommy. If Jefferson wasn't involved in the foundation of the USA, I think the country would have turned out to be quite different from what it is today...maybe even unrecognizable. I'm not as confident that would have been the case for Adams and Washington.

  • Super interesting! Thanks for sharing 🙂

  • Neat! I looked into it a little and found that there is a tiger-striped bikini comic of Urusei Yatsura. It seems like the person that introduced the idea to the Secret of Mana development team may have gotten the idea from Urusei Ystsura, but I can't say for sure.

  • What I find interesting about this is that someone can still afford it because the market sets the price. We know that housing costs have increased immensely due to limited supply and because housing is a need, but someone can still afford it. Otherwise, they'd lower the price to whatever someone can pay. So if a lawyer cannot afford the rent, who can??

  • I still appreciate Lemmy more. It's more intimate and people are way more respectful. Also, Reddit is full of shit comments. Lemmy comments aren't perfect or amazing, but I visited Reddit this week looking for memes (agree with your point on quantity of memes) and perused the comments. I forgot how stupid and formulaic Reddit can be. I'm really happy that didn't transfer over to Lemmy.

  • I find it much easier!

    • They know better what they are looking for
    • Their fantasy marriage/life has been renounced
    • People are much more chill about sex matters
    • Their romantic histories are quite telling
    • Most people have their own place
    • Careers are mostly stable

    Cons

    • Much smaller dating pool
    • Many have kids already
    • More difficult to make friends/meet people in general
  • Yeah, then we could maybe figure out what is the microbial cause of seal finger. But seriously, how do we not know what causes seal finger? Can't they just culture it from a seal at an aquarium??

  • So weird, but good for them! How does that conversation come up? Who says something first?

    Heyyy, so like...you know how I think your wife is banging and mine sucks, and you think mine is banging and yours sucks? Also, you know how you hate your kids and love mine, and I hate my kids and love yours? What if...and hear me out on this...what if we switched...like all of it?

  • How do I flush this?

  • Incorrect. This is clearly a bidet in Miami. The correct cleaner is a little pour of lavender Mistolin.

  • I was born and raised in Miami. I support your decision.

  • I think that VPs are also a deterrent of presidential assassination. If the VP is seen as worse than the president by the opposing party members, then no one will try to assassinate the president. However, if the VP is better, that president's life can be much shorter.

    Would the Republicans prefer Walz as president? If yes, then he is a bad selection for VP. If no, Harris is safer as president.

  • Washington: Oh, so y'all polarized the country into two separate parties when I specifically told you not to??

    Adams: Didn't I tell y'all about that slavery bullshit?

    Tommy Jefferson: How can anyone live in NYC?

    Benji Frank: You can just fly to France like a bird while you sleep to dunk your oui oui?

  • "You have perfect teeth." I don't, which is why I find it weird. One is cracked and another is chipped. Two separate women 2 years apart have told me that several times.

    Several men have told me I have a great smile. I'm a cis-straight man. One of them was a martial arts instructor that looked like the Rock. He told me this in front of my girlfriend and the whole class. He then pointed it out a few times throughout the weekend-long workshop.

    One guy that I had never met came up to me and told me I was a good dancer. He was with his girl.

    I'm really confused about the last two.
