Maybe a little heavy on the gas, but I love the point of view.

Maybe after reading that you could kick 20$ his way to show some appreciation.

Couples therapy. Don’t ask internet strangers. They will potentially ruin your relationship and pull you down to their level. If you love this person and they love you then seek unbiased professional help.

If your partner ultimately refuses then you know how much they care about how your hurting. I refused at least twice before giving in. What could it hurt? Well, It turned out to be the best thing for us. In just a few sessions I learned things that massively helped as did she. We were able to communicate better and even learned a few short-hand cues that barely involved any communication.

Edit: we will have been married 20 years in a few months. Talking to a pro saved us early on.

Yeah. That’s awesome. People making nearly 8 times the average income should pay more taxes, but all this is going to do is persuade people making 500k/year to move out of state and then the state will lose 100% of that chunk of tax. They should just implement a flat tax and be done with it. Everyone pays the same percentage of their income. People making under X$/year pay zero. No other loopholes.

This is all I wanted for VII. You fans of tactics are lucky.

Good parents take care of their children, and provide a safe home to live in; however the children do not have an ultimate say. A good parent would have a discussion to explain the situation and also be sure the person moving in is safe to have around the children they’re responsible for, but ultimately the grownups pay the bills, put clothes on the children’s backs, and put food on the table. If the child feels entitled to an equal share vote in the household decisions then expectations should be managed.

history of the word mission

mission(n.) 1590s, "a sending abroad" (as an agent)

…

General sense of "that for which one is sent or commissioned" is from 1670s; meaning "that for which a person or thing is destined" (as in man on a mission, one's mission in life) is by 1805.

Meaning "dispatch of an aircraft on a military operation" (by 1929, American English)

was extended to spacecraft flights (1962), hence, mission control "team on the ground responsible for directing a spacecraft and its crew" (1964).

So I bought an Apple TV box like 6 months ago. The reason was that I was tired of the advertisements on the Android TV devices, and with every update they get slower and slower (except for the advertisements loading). I don’t have time to modify these devices above baseline stock. I have battled all kinds of “bugs” in the apps that I use regularly because of the differences between the development and capabilities on the two platforms. I still use my Apple TV even though the bugs persist, but if they add a goddamn advertisement to the iOS I will drop this motherfucker in the fires of Mount Doom without a second thought and go back to android and just use an alternative launcher.
