  • Absolutely. And not that it matters, but my wedding was less than a grand.

    I also understand the need to evaluate my decisions, and weigh my influences, and even still I recognize that my choices are a result of who I am and I am the sum of my experiences. I know that my experiences and upbringing and societal expectations shape my decisions.

    Off topic, are you aware of systems engineering processes for safety such as MSDS sheets, or lock out tag out procedures? Just culture in aviation? Social determinants of health? My point is nothing exists in a vacuum.

  • I'm sad for them.

    If they blame trends on individuals I wonder where they think health epidemics come from. Or other things that are way more important than weddings. Neglecting system factors I could imagine comes with a side of immense blame and, assuming the self awareness to direct it internally, guilt.

  • Everybody is a product of their circumstances. To think otherwise is at best naive, and at worst willfully ignorant of your own privilege that you aren't subject to the same circumstances. Yes, each of us choose our own actions, and have to deal with the consequences thereof- but actions are done for a reason, and this reason is not always within an individual's control, but rather is them trying to do what is best for them with the information they have available.

    In this case, weddings have been marketed to a certain demographic. Marketing tends to work- but in this case even moreso due to centuries of societal condition. Heard the term "old maid?"

  • That's way harder than what I do, but I'm lucky enough to have access to a flat bed scanner. I just print it out, and then scan it at every angle. That way when I email the scanned photos to myself I have all the angles at once.

  • I think they mean in the concept of someone who would now qualify for MAID who otherwise might have chosen suicide. Or at least that's how I took it- MAID could actually decrease suicides by offering an alternate solution to those without quality of life or hopes of improving.

  • Because of sensory difficulties, some people with autism may have "safe" foods- foods that don't have upsetting textures or tastes. These are different for everybody, but the foods pictured are pretty commonly inoffensive.
