    The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

    Lucky for you, they're already working on a spinoff show: "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel's Marvelous Tiddies". It takes place over the summer at a Jewish nudist resort in the Catskills. The good news is that she's nude for the whole thing. The bad news is that so are all the other characters.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Is there any reason to believe that Pantheon won't also be a clearly half finished product on release like Crowfall? Their rate of progress seems slow and chaotic. It'd be one thing if their demos were playable and there was an active alpha community after all this time, but it seems like they...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Having kids also doesn't make financial sense if you just look at the numbers. I've read it's about $100k to raise a kid to 18 (YMMV). Paying for college could double that. In most cases the parents do not recover anything financially significant from their children. If the children do...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    From a child development standpoint, it is totally worth it to have a parent stay at home and focus on childcare. It avoids so many issues and can prevent a lot of behavioral problems. Parents should do what they can to make it happen if it's feasible. That may mean cutting back on vacations...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    That seems worth it. Maybe F2P would pay $5/mo but All Access would get 1 additional merc for free. That would be a way to encourage F2P players to sub. Maybe it unlocks after 85 or something where players start hitting the wall. Boxing seems like a lot of work to me--more than I would want...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Probably what they could do without too much trouble is to expand the number of active mercs you could have at any one time. Obviously that won't be as efficient as boxing, but it may be good enough for a large part of the player base that they would be satisfied enough to keep playing.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Are there any websites which have class spells broken down into the same categories as the spell menu dropdowns? There are lots of websites which list spells, but all the ones I've seen just list the spells by level. That makes it inconvenient when I'm trying to see which spells I'm missing...

    Weight Loss Thread

    One thing that is not always immediately obvious is that certain categories of foods have an almost drug-like effect on our brains. We crave these things because of the feelings they give us rather than because of the nutrition they contain. Weight management often means coming to terms with...

    The End of Days - Ours. Planning for the Last Raid Boss

    One thing I would really like is a kind of dead man switch I could get implanted that would end me if I didn't interact with it on a regular basis. Something like the reverse of a pacemaker. Then if I don't wave a sensor over my heart at least once every X months, the device will randomly...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    One other non-obvious effect of being in a long-term bad situation is that your self-confidence and feelings of self-worth trickle lower over time. You think you are good now, but the longer this goes on the more it wears on you and the worse you feel about yourself. If you're not careful, it...

    Only fans

    Although some people on OF make a ton of money, the vast majority do not. The median income is only like $180/month. That means half the people on OF make less than $180/month. Unless she already has a ton of followers on social media or some kind of name recognition, it's unlikely she will...

    I think I might have been abused as a kid. How do I find out?

    Unless you have a good reason to believe you were abused, it may be counterproductive to go down this path. It sounds like you are seeking a reason for your outbursts. It will be really easy for your brain to convince itself that forgotten abuse was the reason. Basically, if you want this to...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    It sounds like you guys have condoned this kind of behavior, but it's always going to be problematic. Humans are fallible. It's pretty easy to cross the line when you go right up to it. And it sounds like the lines in your relationship are somewhat blurry anyway. Women are more driven by...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    While you're working through all this with her, it would be a good idea to have a voice-activated recorder on you at all times. There are recording apps you can get for your phone, or you can buy a dedicated recorder for under $50. Hopefully you won't need it, but it'll help if you get in a...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Since you have kids, it's worth it to make an effort to fix this. Even if it doesn't work out, at least you can tell your kids you tried. It's still early. It can probably be fixed. She needs to cut off all contact with him. You'll need to give her an ultimatum that either it's you or him...

    Yeah, I think it really makes it harder to deal with issues about gender-segregated spaces and activities when self-identification seems to be the only qualification. It's a lot easier to accept trans women doing things like using the women's bathroom and joining women's sports if we're just...

    It won't be long before a WoW streamer posts something like "If you want to quit WoW, that's fine, but realize that WoW streamers like me are just trying to make a living.

    Summer Olympics 2021

    I like this idea. To compete for a country in the Olympics, you must have spent at least 51% of your time in that country over the past 4 years. Athletic performance is related to the country where they trained, not where they were born.

    What are your thoughts on trans women who identify as women but don't medically transition or otherwise make significant efforts to align with female norms? They may have a beard, wear generic clothes, not medically transition, and generally look male, but identify as women and use she/her.

    One thing that doesn't make sense is why a hotel room would be named the Cosby suite. It doesn't seem like it really has anything to do with a random conference room at Blizzard which happens to look like a Cosby sweater. Why take the Cosby poster to a generic hotel room and call it the Cosby...

    Yeah, there's a difference between rando nerds acting in typical rando nerd ways versus saying the company encouraged that kind of culture. Even the same with the note.

    The problem without a union in something like this is that it soon becomes a race and UPS will lay off everyone except the fastest.
