I actually like some of his characterization! It’s funny, but in his dislike for women he seems to give his female characters a LOT more agency and power than other writers. His women have actually complex inner lives and personalities with motivation, even if they’re awful.
Still probably cheaper than retrofitting a building with gas pipes 🤷♂️
Not really. The problem isn’t that gas is somehow unreliable, it’s actually that gas doesn’t scale at all. It’s a massive expensive infrastructure change and it’s not flexible - you need gas. Electrical stoves can be powered by solar, wind, propane, etc; gas only works on gas.
Congratulations! Now run the piping for gas to every apartment in a major city. Do it for the same budget as battery induction cooktops. Then we’ll talk.
You are #3 on the “your power sucks” roster for this thread!
I’m seeing a lot of derogatory comments exactly like this shitting on the power grid. Either there’s a bunch of southwestern kids on here who never sat through a storm in their lives and can’t imagine weather which impacts infrastructure, or the mockery bots are in play.
Depends on where you live. California in summer, and most places where you have trees+snow will get you outages. The rise of data centers using power scoped for residential areas is also likely to have impacts.
Congratulations for the no drugs no booze.
I recommend adding in some masturbation though, clearing out old sperm is a good thing overall. Just don’t death grip and don’t use porn. Your imagination is usually enough for most folks.
Perfection isn’t always feasible for everyone. Sometimes harm mitigation is the right step.
Animals cannot tell you how much pain they are in. Their last days can be absolutely horrific. You have the power to spare them perfectly useless suffering.
Vets strongly advise: better a week too soon than a day too late. Because that last day is unnecessary; it’s there because you couldn’t stomach the decision, not because it gave your pet anything meaningful.
You will know when it comes. When your pet is dying from some stupid cancer and you did everything already and what’s coming is nothing but pain, no hope, no relief, no nothing but suffering. You will make the right decision. And have someone come over, while you make their last meal something amazing, and they are eating a snack while they still have appetite to be happy about that and ignore the little pinch in the leg that brings the last sleep.
And you will grieve in ways you didn’t know you could, but it will still have been right because there is no sacred point scored from letting your lil pup die a few days later in agony you could have prevented but chose not to.

Cornish pasty and welsh rarebit are god tier. Ploughman’s lunch and Lancashire hotpot are top tier. Yorkshire pudding is top tier. Haggis done right is a LOT better than you think (caveat, I was very very drunk when I tried it.)
The god of the gap? No. I believe in proof and evidence, and once you have that it’s not supernatural anymore. Isn’t the real world interesting enough?
This is only true for exactly as long as the weapons are held, though. Unless you plan on holding someone at weapons -point for life, the power eventually reverts.
The problem with age gaps isn’t age; it’s experience and power. Three years is still a big percentage of your life right now. In ten years time, three years will not be as significant a part of your life.
Think about how different you expect to be as a person in three years. Can you even realistically imagine who you will be?
As far as relationships - they work out when the people in them have common goals, and they fail- no matter how much love is in there- when the people involved are going in different directions in life. Part of your problem at your age is that the direction of your like is likely to change drastically over the coming years in ways you cannot anticipate.
Every single fertility god and goddess throughout history is giving you the side-eye right now.
I would happily argue that the plastic is a step down; metal potato peelers last a lot longer.
Fair point.
