Generally in these discussions two fundamentally different concepts get confused: the ability to interact socially, and the desire to interact socially. Its important to make this distinction.

Problem with this idea is it only buys you a couple thousand years before that deep ocean water returns to the surface and dumps the CO2 right back where it came from. Carbon sequestration has to involve stable, non-volatile substances. Organic carbon pumped into the deep sea eventually returns...

Love the show. Found S301 unwatchable because its not sci fi, its literally exactly reality in the present day. 10 minutes in I was painfully bored. It would have been a great episode 3-5 years ago. Now its like making a sci fi show about how strange life will be once we all have horseless...

Putting money into NASA is no guarantee theyll put us on Mars. But you can count on this -- if we dont put money into NASA NASA wont get to Mars. Still 1000X better use of money than what its being put to currently.

Pardon me from interrupting the Roman History thing -- but yeah. It really is our frivolous spending on bullshit that prevents us from "reaching the stars", or at least establishing colonies on other planets in our solar system. Its not the obamaphone by itself. Its death by a thousand...

The smell of pet owners houses. "Thanks for inviting me over, what a lovely house you have! It smells like the inside of a dogs asshole but lovely home!" People who wear so much perfume/man-perfume you can smell it when youre not making out with them. Nothings skeevier than smelling another...

Your post leaves out a fairly important concept: decisions. You're probably right about the future of our species, but its important to recognize that its not inevitable. IF we spent 5-10% of the amount we currently spend on entitlements + defense instead on space travel, our future would be...

My biggest problem with all the time travel/alt timelines nonsense is Barry's decision to stop here, in what is surely the worst of all the alternate timelines. Mom is dead Cisco's brother is dead Wally has no powers I get the idea that he needs to stop messing with timelines to some extent...

I love my job. I wouldnt do it for minimum wage. I cannot relate to your statement here at all. They have to pay me to work, and my time is worth more than minimum wage. Its damn sure worth more than $1 in profit. I suggest your wifes time is worth more than that too. Yeah, you listed the...

WTF, who has kids before 30? I know that used to happen in like 1950. But now? Biologically you are absolutely correct (although you greatly overestimate the danger of pregnancy issues relative to pre-30 issues). But come on. We're in school until 30 for fucks sake. Its reasonable to put off...

Its odd that trex is getting so much disagreement in this thread. What she is saying here is absolutely correct -- for anyone with more than one kid, where the wife makes less than six figures, it very very rarely makes financial sense for the wife to work. Trex is correct in pointing out that...

To be clear, it aint overtime, thats just the job. Joys of a salaried position. I should work 80 but you gotta draw the line somewhere.

I actually do have a lot of guilt about this, and do what I can. I do the whole bedtime ritual (stories etc, >1 hr) every night. And I spend quality time with the kids on weekends. And still, feel guilty I'm not doing enough with them. But yeah, thats why I said "my wife and I"... and shes...

People and agencies that call your paperwork "late" or "last minute" when you hand it in on exactly the stated due date. Bitch, you told me exactly one date. Oct 14. If I hand it in AFTER Oct 14 you can bitch. Anytime up to and including Oct 14 is called "on time". Those are the only two...

Totally agree, 110%. Cant understand letting someone else raise our kids. I wont judge people too harshly if they do it but fuck no, my wife and I are raising our kids. Dont understand, is this a typo? Thermostats should be set lower in the winter and higher in the summer to save energy. 68...

So growing up, we had 9 kids in my family. I'm second oldest. All kids younger than me were homeschooled for their entire time. I attended at least 8 different public schools and one private school (we moved a lot). My parents homeschooled me for 1.5 years until I threw a huge fit and said no...

People using the word "phenomena" as if it was a singular noun, rather than the plural form of the singular noun "phenomenon". I hear this all the fucking time. From people with PhDs. rustled. (Dont even get me started on incorrect uses of "beg the question" as if it meant "makes me wonder")

Yes, we have 3 young kids. But that is no excuse. When she was out of town for 2 weeks and I watched the kids, 30-60 min of dishes a day was enough to keep the kitchen spotless. I totally cant relate to anyone who *wouldnt* want to be a stay at home parent. Fuck me, I'd swap places in a...

Yeah, I realize that. I still hold that if the homemaker actually does their job it is a legit full time job. But yeah... if the homemaker decides to slack off... then it starts to make a lot less sense. Fucking Facebook. I swear this social media bullshit is a major contributing factor...

Correct, I am the only income and we've long agreed on traditional homemaker/breadwinner roles. On some level I agree theres no question whether we should discuss this. The question is whether anyone has actually succeeded in doing that. I have learned that with women some conversations are no...

Yeah, she knows. We're single income, traditional division of labor.

OK I don't think I've ever actually asked for advice here but time to take a break from shitposting and ask. Have any of you actually had the discussion with your wife about why they dont do the share of housework that is their job? My experience is conversations like this are rarely a net...

LOL it sounds like some of you are the "supertasters" of sleeping. Cant sleep if someone is touching you? Its hard to come up with a list of conditions where I cant sleep. Other than, if I've gotten 6 hours of sleep I'm wide awake and cant get back to sleep. But 18 hours later I'm ready for...

Its funny how different people are. Yall seriously dont curl up with your wives to sleep? You sleep over on the opposite side of the bed? Cant relate. Its not even some kind of romantic thing from my perspective, its just more comfortable to curl up together then sleep alone.

The whole "final cycle" thing is such a bullshit excuse that makes no sense and doesnt address the issue at all. OK, lets assume that at the end of TDT Roland was carried back to that moment on Jericho Hill when the horn was lost. Or whatever. So a new timeline starts. Great, I am totally on...

LOL what a silly answer. Yes, I am aware of "bike fenders" just like I'm aware of the little basket with a plastic flower on it that you can clip on the front of your bicycle, and the cute little horn you can clip to your handlebars so you can honk at your friends while you drive down the...

I cant keep this shit straight but I think at least one of the women in question may be the one who has never had an orgasm of any kind? Somewhere in my mid 20s I realized there were a non-trivial number of women out there who dont orgasm at all, and an even larger fraction who dont get off...

Thanks for the feedback on the music in this show. Im a few episodes in and am frankly amazed at how little rap there is. Which is awesome. So far I rate this somewhere between Jessica Jones (which I loved) and Daredevil (which I found unwatchable). I expect to finish the season.

This, so much. Every now and then I tell myself I'm gonna turn the wife down just to make the point. But lets be honest, unless I'm super busy with work I'm not turning it down. Pussy > pride But its fucked up when you sit down and think about it. How many other things that are important in a...

Fry sauce - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia No. This is not "mayo and mustard mixed together". Its thousand island dressing without relish. "Mayo and mustard mixed together" is some made up shit.

Ya know, at least the fries in frosties thing is a thing. A recognizable cultural phenomenon. Before reading this thread, youve heard of it already. Its an abomination but at least its a recognized and somewhat widespread abomination. But what the FUCK is the dipping fries in a mixture of...

Oregon is a weird fucking state, but this is one of the weirdest things about it. (And thats saying a lot for a state has made it fucking illegal to pump your own gas) When you visit Maine in the winter, you'll find that the locals have adopted the gear thats available for dealing with snow --...

OK so I have a dumb question. Before I get into this: everybody's raving about the music. Am I safe in assuming its a bunch of rap shit? I liked Luke Cage's character on Jessica Jones but find all forms of rap intolerable. How much will the music make me hate this show?

Some of you people remind me of that alien in MIB1 that climbed inside the dead redneck and walked around pretending to be a human. Its like, you look vaguely human and are giving it a half ass try but have no frame of reference for what actual humans do. WTF, people, french fries are dipped...

Oh yeah, I agree, 80k wouldnt work in Bay Area!

Assuming a reasonable family size (e.g. 3 kids), you've just described a period of about 12 years before the kids are all in full time schooling. 12 years the wife will be staying at home. Just to put your comment in context. First, the kids are home at 3 so no way the wife could work more than...

Right. Because dedicating one parent full time to building the home and family is being the ultimate cuck but dedicating both parents to working 9-5 at some menial job to pay for childcare is somehow liberated. Slavery is freedom. War is peace. Strength is weakness.

Yeah I misunderstood you. I still dont bake though and dont have a problem with the middle being underdone. Maybe we're handling the frying parts differently? Mine is essentially deep fried in >1/2" of butter. Damn, now I want french toast.

My experience has been that even a POS gas range offers far better temperature control than any electric coil stove. Just the ability to see the flame and adjust accordingly makes a huge difference IMO. That said I currently have an electric stove which blows and makes everything more...

French toast is easy. Use a thick cut bread, ideally challah but anything >1/2" will work. Soak the bread well in the egg/milk mixture before cooking. Cook submerged in at least 1/2" of butter, clarified is best but regular is fine too, just have to watch the heat.
