The second one, plus the prolactin helps me fall asleep.

Ross Perot got 18.9% of the popular vote in 1992. While he didn’t get any electoral votes he likely prevented a second HW Bush term.

Just to clarify your second statement, gaslighting is when person A tries to convince person B that person B did not see/hear/experience something that person B did in fact see, hear, or experience.

In OP’s situation, their girlfriend might be gaslighting OP if she texted “I’m getting an Uber home, see you in a bit” and then got mad and insisted she had told OP to meet her at the door.

All that said, I will echo many others in this thread and say that just because it isn’t gaslighting doesn’t mean OP is in a healthy relationship. OP, please insist on relationship counseling at a minimum.

Dave Chapelle had a whole bit about this before he decided to double (and triple, and quadruple) down on transphobia. He makes the very salient point that these things are delicious.

Melon with something savory is a widely popular choice. See: honeydew with prosciutto/parma ham and cantaloupe/honeydew with tajin (Mexican mix of savory spices.)

Skip the psych exam. Restore the “public servant” aspect.

1. All assets are sold and the cash is placed in a trust that earns 1% interest. When you leave office you get your money back.

2. 24/7 audio and video coverage of your life as long as you are in office. The toilet is not filmed unless someone goes in with you. Other than that, your life is an open book.

3. After you leave office, you can teach classes as long as your compensation is no more than the lowest-paid professor at the school that employs you. You can write books. Or you can enjoy your pension. No corporate jobs or partner positions at fancy law firms.

Pretty much everyone who’s discussed it agrees The Godfather (film) blows the Puzo novel it adapted away.

Runner up is Adaptation, an adaptation of the novel The Orchid Thief that expands its scope significantly.

Oooooh, that explains why System of a Down didn’t show up in Armenia.

I think considering the whole world population the percentage of vegetarians may be much higher than you suspect. People who eat at least some meat are still a majority but probably a relatively small one.

Good work, friend.

Or Bill Gates who promoted bullshit pseudoscience and encouraged African men to get circumcised as an “HIV prevention measure” which led to many men then skipping condoms, arguably making the HIV epidemic in Africa even worse?

Also, the connotation of “yelling” can differ by gender. I had male classmates in high school talk about parents “yelling” at them when there was no raised voice, just a discussion of how the child had failed to meet expectations. When men say a female partner is “yelling” they often mean “nagging” or “bothering.” Conversely, when women say a male partner is “yelling” they typically mean “using a raised voice in anger.”

It’s been long enough, I’d definitely hit it.

The sound of it? I would assume it’s silent. /s

There’s like 1.6 jokes in this article. Should have been one of those headlines on the main page that go nowhere.

I appreciate the context and explanation.

It was my understanding that btrfs is still new-ish and has some kinks to work out. Ext4 is pretty well understood at this point.

According to some versions of the myth, Medusa was beautiful and terrifying. So pretty much half of the women DD dates.

Not sure what your point is, assuming the theory that Homo sapiens wiped out homo neanderthalensis it was before you could really argue there was such a thing as colonialism.

Yeah, one could argue that a functioning democracy would prevent the kind of wealth gap we have.
