I often find it a bit weird when people sign up for something like Tinder and then say "not here for hook ups". Tinder was basically invented as Grindr for straight people.

I don't think there's any game I would say I've achieved "mastery" in. Maybe the original Puzzle Quest, which I had completely squeezed the life out of and found some gamebreaking bulids.

Jim Sterling is kinda like the British equivalent of Boogie

I feel like Jim Sterling has more purpose though. Boogie, for the most part, is generic youtube games channel. Jim is mostly complaining about industry bullshit, but his persistence is kind of unique.

Also Jim Sterling lives in Mississippi

Good dishes for complete beginners that allow you to focus on not learning too many things at once include:

- Scrambled eggs
- Pizza (initially with pre-made base and sauce)
- Chilli con carne (do it all in 1 pot)

How did you end up age 35 without opening a can?

It sounds like you're actually interested in learning some cooking, which is a great idea. I find it kind of boring alone, but lots of fun with my wife. You could probably find a lot of basic skills by searching on youtube for "cooking for beginners" or something. Alternatively, the early episodes of the TV show "Good Eats" have a good run-down of the whole process - including knowing what to buy at the shop - and keep to a pretty narrow scope.

Personal favourites for recipe/cookalong shows:
- Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Cookery Course
- Jamie Oliver's 15 minute meals
I think both can be found on Dailymotion or other video sites. Good to show you why cooking can be interesting.

Shes currently in med school and we want to enjoy life for a while together first. Travel, see the world

Travel and seeing the world don't tend to be things you can get done in " a few years" as a new grad in medicine. Lots of evenings, weekends and public holidays are gonna be absorbed by work, and getting leave approved is usually difficult.

More broadly, I'm fine with the overall slant of this topic at age 27 and 23. My wife and I were talking about the long game at a similar stage, and we were only teenagers at the time. As long as you are both clear and honest about your intentions and expectations early on, there's no harm to having some of those conversations early.

While "honeymoon phase" is a thing, it doesn't take the same form for every relationship. We've been together ten years now, and haven't encountered any significant periods of time where we weren't happy with each other. The stream of excitement from an early relationship isn't there in the same way, but the energy is basically constantly positive. It tends to be more towards future plans than towards each other, though. Getting married quite young (age 22 and 23, we hadn't both graduated) has worked out fine for us because we support each other in external ambitions, hobbies and career plans, and haven't rushed into children. In some senses, it was very easy being young as changes in life are simply expected, and don't really shake up the relationship. We have had to do long distance for months at a time, and came out just fine. I'm of the school of thought that marriage shouldn't be delayed for purely external reasons (e.g. haven't got your life "set up" yet) if you individually and as a couple feel a good sense of identity and security.

If the two of you ... are capable of fighting about things without saying things you regret to each other all the time then it's real.

This is super important at all stages of a relationship. Consider your partner's feelings at all times. Never speak or act with the intent to do damage to the person. I'm thankfully a very calm person which makes this easier. Some couples get really verbally heated, but still maintain happiness just fine because they avoid that kind of malice.

If the half was split evenly across occupations, it would tank GDP, but growth would probably increase. Real estate prices would fall dramatically. Climate change would be in a much better position.

This all assumes, of course, that the birth rates in developed countries don't just balloon into a new baby boom to fill in the gap, and just push us back to where we are today.

I am really not a fan of FPTP/pluralty electoral systems personally, and imo it just serves to perpetuate the 2-party partisan hellhole that is US politics. A proportional system would help a lot with that over time.

I rarely buy games until they're on deep discount. In recent memory I've only bought a handful of games at/near release (The Witness, Monster Hunter World, Witcher 3, Destiny, Diablo 3). Destiny is probably the only one I actually regret buying; I just got tired of it after finishing the main story. D3 was alright for the time I got out of it. I never ended up buying the expansion.

Something like this I guess just give it the benefit of the doubt. For all we know, one of those folks had a family member who got shot or something. It seems stupid that somebody was upset enough about it that they escalated it, but whatever. As long as the boss doesn't legitimately think you are an ass.

I actually like my XB1 more than my PS4 honestly. I think a lot of that is the controller. Although PS4 controller is waaaay better than the PS3 one, it's still not as good as the xbox imo.

plus all the value of getting into lounges.

If lounges are a main perk you're interested in, you might still be better off just using something like Dragonpass, prioritypass etc rather than eating the costs that come with remaining too loyal to any given airline. Depends how much you fly and which airports you spend time in though.

Sounds like you're based in USA. If you do a lot of Transatlantic flying then maybe Oneworld. Otherwise yeah I would go with Star Alliance. For us here in NZ they make the most sense to since Air NZ is part of it.
Skyteam is fine, but they seem biased towards Asia.

You shouldn't punch anyone. Counter their bad free speech with good free speech.
This is not to change his mind, but to make him look like a fool in front of others.

Punching him allowed for both. Getting socked in the jaw gave him an audience he otherwise would have never have received, then that audience saw how crazy he was and it's just been a downward spiral from there.

https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=2016-03-16%202018-04-16&q=richard%20spencer

I would argue that this shows categorically that him getting punched was never an effective means of shutting him up

Seems like allowed for more people to become aware of him, then reject his message. His biggest spikes only seem to occur when he's making a spectacle of himself.

This is true, although you'll note the baseline between the peaks is still consistently about 3x the 2016 levels

I'm conflicted on stuff like this. On one hand I hate how certain folk exaggerate the migrant problem and make all of them out to be inhuman monsters. On the other hand I hate how many of my fellow liberals/leftists/progressives just go:



when evidence of non-assimilating/extremist migrants is shown and act like the problem is minuscule and almost never happens at all and that people from certain countries/cultures not assimilating and promoting extremism aren't that big of a problem.

This tbh. It's clearly not a good situation in that area. It's really tough to manage good integration of migrants when it's done at such a scale.

It's almost like poverty, poor education, and being treated like second class citizens while white nationalists gain popularity around you breeds dumb ass crime and violence.

If only there was some concept of how you could ensure people have access to the basic means of survival and an education.

It's not like people aren't aware of the situation there. The dude they were interviewing seemed pretty clear that language, culture, employment barriers are a big problem.

Yes, I will use they or them, if someone asks me to. No, I will not support any movement that seeks to legally mandate that I must say it or risk government consequences.

Edit: not support

Are these a thing? How could there be a government mandate on something like this? I don't think there has ever been such a law that requires you to describe things with particular terms.

Amen. The fact that 2 countries could be allies after the horrific experiences both sides suffered in the 40's is amazing.

I'm really struggling to think of what "horrible experiences" the USA suffered at the hands of Japan. Pearl Harbour is pretty much it, no? Certainly nothing that comes close to the scale of what USA did to Japan

There's something about the environment in USA that makes school shootings and public mass shootings in general way more common there than anywhere else. IDK if gun laws are the best way to stop it, but by international standards, it's not true to say "this is a rare occurrence"
