@meandhomies It is just as silly to avoid children because a lot of it is very hard as to avoid travel because much of it is actually pretty terrible. The high points are what ends up mattering in the end.
@nisafeminista The "contribute nothing" take is foolish and I rarely hear it among serious people. Every solid marriage is a team and each member helps the whole to succeed. If either partner minimizes the other or if either devalues themselves, the marriage suffers.
@kindscribe The road to a satisfying life can be wider or narrower for any particular generation, but to each person, the challenge is to find a way to be on it.
@ZainabSana2622 People fill their lives with things, real or imagined. Talk to a retiree and you'll be surprised at how demanding a small dog and a garden can be. Overwhelming at times.
@sintanaenergy Sintana has transformed itself from a small company with holdings in unproven basins to a larger company with increasingly proven assets. It would be good to hear about how corporate governance and return on shareholder investment will grow as part of this transformation.
@ShaneSchaetzel So, the person is in heaven? I think they're feeling very good and presumably have a very positive perspective on the whole thing. Right? You have to be pretty egotistical to have an eternity in heaven and be annoyed that it wasn't on your terms. ๐
@JoshuaBarzon It is strange that we have to change our clocks and pretend it is a time that it really isn't to feel good about our schedules, as opposed to just doing things at whatever time the seems right. We can be smarter than this.
@jeremyct Lack of communication, for sure, but then we're only hearing one side. If the father can't keep up with taxes and maintenance anymore, he only has so many choices. Selling is one.
@babe_whatswrong@big_emtee The people of modern day Aguascalientes disappeared into the mountains and engaged in guerrilla attacks whenever the Aztecs came. No love of the Aztecs. Worked against the Spanish, too. They were the last to join New Spain. Good story about what the Spanish finally did.
@babe_whatswrong@big_emtee And the neighboring groups helped the Spanish out of envy, as well? Or because they really hated the Aztecs for gruesomely killing them so regularly? 3,000 Spanish motivated 100,000 - 200,000 allies somehow.
@NickJFreitas@bonchieredstate Remember, it's "seize the means of production," not "create" or "improve" or even "maintain" the means of production. It doesn't seem to survive on its own.
@jairav@KyleKulinski China found success by opening up to capitalism, with heavy state political control. You can do a lot, as long as you respect the Party.
@amelia_tweetz You're really looking for a reason to be upset, aren't you? He's a minor celebrity with his best football years behind him. No one would be closing a street in NYC for his wedding were it not for her. Sure, he's rich and successful, good for him, but she's a whole other level.
@the_jefferymead Well done. I'm constantly surprised how much easier things are when you're in solid shape. Not even amazing shape, just regular exercise shape. Keep it up!
