Yeah, we moved in together after 3 months, bought a house in 12, and baby in 24. Both in our 30s with steady careers and able to communicate so whilst it was relatively fast it never felt like there was something going unsaid.

Having children: I was completely against it for most of my adult life, then dated someone who wanted children while I still didn’t and realised what compromise meant. Now I’ve got a kid with another person and the person who changed my mind is almost set against having kids.

Recreational drugs: I thought they were stupid and should be banned harder until my friends started smoking weed, etc. I eventually became a stoner for a while, but have since figured that the issue is more around disordered drug use which is more socially circumstantial than individual.

My opinions on the death penalty would turn liberal philosophers in their graves enough to power a town.

Is there anywhere else US soldiers could be treated more quietly, e.g. navy hospitals, nearby Arab States or Israel?

I’ll second (or third) shows like The Wire, Deadwood, The Terror (S1), Chernobyl, True Detective (S01 & S04), etc.

For something less man focused there’s The Change which is a slightly surreal series about Bridget Christie’s character setting off to rural England on her motorbike when she gets tired of her family.

Just started watching Dirty Business which is like Chernobyl but about English sewage, i.e. excellent acting around a slow motion disaster caused by human error and arrogance.

Slightly mad fact that I didn’t notice on my first watching is that it’s mostly in iambic pentameter.

Oh no, they don’t like pylons either. They just want coal plants in poor people’s gardens and subterranean power cabling.

You’ve kinda fucked yourself over if all the parents are away shooting other people

someone needs to take care of the children

This is what fathers do as well

I suppose some ILCs could be used for selfies, but why would it be described as booping?

I suppose in a crowded convention space where you’re trying to get full lengths of people you could get to that distance? Surely you’d still want a longer lens though otherwise everything’s going to be wildly distorted?

Why are people booping with camera lenses?

Since when? Current Resus Council (UK) guidelines are for back blows first. You make sure the person is bending over forwards first.

Hawkwind has been going so long it’s basically an institution. Fuck knows how Dave Brock is still going

Maybe ICUs will upgrade their staffing ratios instead if the costs change that much

Or follow the UK strategy of paying them to keep doing it

Well, checking had just made me squirt all over my mirror

How do the tears come out of his tear-gas proof visor?
