Yes. Say it out loud.

I am almost 50 years old and understood for the first time this month that the reason my wife doesn’t like going out alone to explore new places is fear of men and not fear of getting lost etc.

For mumble-mumble years it has never occurred to me to wonder about this

Mine just stays on the counter. At the spot it’s in, if I had an accident and it tried to go flying, the wall of the retracted slide room would block it. But in 3 years of driving with it, it hasn’t flown off.

Countertop dishwashers are a thing. I found one that fits on the tiny counter I have, and do my chopping and slicing on the kitchen table instead.

I’ve been living in a motor home for five years. It’s pretty good for me, I work from home and have spent a good long time at dozens of national parks and other awesome places.

Also boring places. Moving all the time and fixing broken things can be stressful and staying in nice places can be expensive. But overall it’s been way better for me than sitting in a house and staring at the walls.

Preach on.

I went to the Women's Rights National Historical Park in Seneca Falls, NY, and of all the things that really struck me hard there (it was a lot) I think the biggest hit was realizing how fucking long it took between the start of mainstreaming the movement and women actually getting the vote. None of the women who started that movement lived long enough to cast their own vote.

There was no "women's black panthers". There was no threat of violence if women can't control their own lives. Everybody got to pretty much just stay comfortable with their nice order. And change did. not. happen. For years.

Maybe the slow pace was worth it, I don't know. I'm not a woman and I'm not much devoted to order. But it seems pretty clear that "avoid offending anybody" is not an effective tool for change.

Having your kids watch you lose your dignity is not going to make a good relationship.

They are very attuned to that sort of thing. If they watch one parent allow and invite the other to trample on them the kids will also lose respect.

I bought a shirt once in Pittsburgh that says, “Yinz is a gender-neutral p pronoun”

How do they know what it should cost?

Installing HVAC ducts in blistering hot attics is backbreaking work but people can be found to do that.

I wonder what those people get paid, and whether they have access to bathroom breaks, clean drinking water on the job, and a decent place to sleep at night?

Maybe if they increased the wages or improved the working conditions, people would come do the work after all?

Just spitballing, here….

Ok, uhhhh… you are saying here that difficulty understanding the words to music is an autism thing?

Thank you, this is useful advice

(Not a woman): my partner does not like receiving oral sex or other kinds of sex where she is mostly passive/receiving, because she doesn’t like feeling put on the spot and obligated to react.

If your partner has been not getting much from sex for a long time now, then she is also probably feeling a lot of pressure to change and behave right and react as expected which would be not pleasant for her.

Maybe ask her if she wants to play a game where she reads a book out loud (sexy book or bit sexy book) or play a cozy video game or some other activity where you get to enjoy yourself playing with her body for potentially a long time, and she has something else to pay attention to besides her own sexual performance? That would probably also go well with deep toys on low power as well.

Just, maybe avoid Call of Duty for this one. It has to be a lazy activity she’s doing. If her attention is successfully diverted 100% to the point the sex is an irritating distraction then that’s not any fun for anybody

Headline says, “Flight 6 already tested” which is misleading until you read in the article it means static test.

only two flights, Flight 1 and Flight 4, have had engine outs on ascent. In fact, during all phases of flight for Flight 4, not a single Raptor shut down prematurely.

Contradiction, I think they mean flight 5 had no engine outs

I stopped reading here

Article seems to be full of typos that make the meaning unclear

What is the actual point of becoming a 1% co-owner of a rental house? Is this some kind of tax thing?

I bought my very own gas station squeegee at a car parts store . Life-changing events.

Campaign money goes where the votes go. Then government spending goes where the votes are.

You mean to say, power will be more evenly distributed per person instead of per acre?

I’m ok with this.

That would be super awesome if navigation apps had profiles.

Like, when I’m driving my car I go the speed of traffic or maybe a little fast.

And when I’m driving my motorhome I go 65mph tops and really slow up hills.

But totally nobody does this. Even the RV Trip Wizard app (built around Here navigation) makes you choose between “I drive XXX speed on average” (ignoring actual speed limits and conditions, just assume constant speed) or just assume normal traffic.

Why can’t they recognize that different drivers drive differently???
