  • I (40m) lived with my (39F) lesbian step sister for a few years.

    It was like a proper relationship without any of the jealousy and clingy ownership that inevitably comes from both sides, plus if one of you brings home a catch you can genuinely give the other a high five.

    One of the most functional relationships I have ever had.

  • On a related note, why don't more people just drop dead while driving a car? Like I can't think of a single story that I'm aware of that went "yeah he had a heart attack and then ran the car off the road"

    I feel like it should be a daily occurrence

  • Yeah, you know you can put CSS inline / in the header, and images can be base64 encoded and put in line as well.

    Same with JavaScript. It's probably a whole single page website with no ability to cache anything and can never be bigger than the context window

  • What if the US stepping back is exactly what Europe needs to become a true superpower?"

    It hit me recently that Europe has largely relied on the US to take the lead on global issues, often playing it safe and deferring to American influence. But what if the US pulling back its support is actually a blessing in disguise?

    Without the US as the default leader, NATO and the EU could finally step up, stand on their own, and evolve into a unified superpower. This shift could bring much-needed stability to the region—and potentially the world—especially as the US faces its own internal challenges.

    Sure, it’s not guaranteed to play out this way, but isn’t this a more appealing vision than the current status quo or the rise of authoritarian powers dominating the global stage?

  • See, now I have had a few things pegged as being in the denial phase for a while. I'm in Australia, so the housing market I have had pegged to collapse, also I figured we would be heading into a recession coming on 3 years ago and changed businesses to "weather the upcoming recession"

    Now while things have cooled off since then, and I still think both elements are overcooked, I obviously moved way to soon.

    So my question is, how do you time the denial phase? The housing market issue has been going on for about 30 years from what I can tell (though it got more reasonable for half a minute a bit over a decade ago and then went stupid again).

    In my lifetime, and I'm 40 now, I haven't seen a proper major correction where bad decisions and greed was punished. I should have been "taking stupid risks" the entire time and I would have been just fine.
