  • I was married, now I'm divorced. She cheated on me. That's just for background.

    For me, the legal marriage contract did nothing good. It just made it harder and more expensive when it was time to separate. My suggestion is (if you can find someone to go along with it) to have the ceremony, party, and honeymoon, but skip the legal contract. No one will ask to see your contract, except for the few legal reasons it matters. To everyone, and to both of you for all the reasons that matter socially, you'll be married. Why do we need governmental sanctioning of our personal relationships?

    The contract doesn't keep them from cheating, it doesn't keep them from leaving, nor should anyone want that. Neither is it required for child support, that's a separate contract that has nothing to do with marriage (or even biology, in some cases). IMO, the ideal relationship is one where you both choose, every day to spend the day with each other, until you don't--if that should ever happen.

  • Pam Bondi is 60 years old. She gets weekly baby blood transfusions, and sleeps in a sensory deprivation pod.

    (Only one of these things is verifiably true. The other two are just guesses... but probably.)

  • I use NoScript and uBlock. For this page, there are eighteen different scripts that want to run, but I only allow the two that seem necessary for basic functionality.

    Apart from using Tor and allowing zero scripts to run, we have little hope of even pseudo-anonymity on the internet, and increasingly in our every-day lives.

    We, as a people, tolerate the surveillance state as long as they increase the surveillance incrementally over generations, distract us with shiny toys, and keep us fighting amongst ourselves over irrelevant subjects.

  • Which is the opposite of what they should have been doing. The shock would actually re-enforce a memory. So, they should have been shocking correct answers. Because, when we do something and then get hurt, we remember the thing that hurt us.
