1. The ONLY way forward for you is to have an open relationship. It will not be without risk, but 50% of marriages fail regardless. It was wrong for her to keep that from you. Very wrong. But if you still want to try and make it work, she has to be okay with you having a friend on the side. Not cheating, but in the open. That also means you will spend time away (with the friend) - not just a few hours here and there. And you will spend money with the friend too.

  2. If you have some money to spend, you Enlarge the flat wall above the fireplace and move the base of the pillar upward a couple feet. That gives you your place for the TV

  3. Definitely not a Yankees fan, the opposite actually. But this is ridiculous.

  4. Let's be honest - here is no way to "cancel" debt. It not like the banks will not get paid back. Biden is paying off the banks with taxpayer money (or money borrowed from China.) Anyone who describes this as "cancelling debt" is guilty of gaslighting.

  5. I really hope you see this comment. I have a suggestion that will definitely work for you.

  6. NTA - Does not matter that your texts were sharp. Better to leave no doubt whatsoever. Good luck

  7. If that is really the way Gen Z thinks, then they can fuck right off..

  8. Sounds like what you really want, Joe, is a Flat Tax. That works! Go for it.

  9. (Skip this paragraph if you arent interested in my credentials.) Please take this in from someone who is an attorney (who spent many years as a trial attorney and who understands the difference between a trial court and an appellate court) and from someone who has spent several decades (literally) following SCOTUS. I lean right on economic issues and I lean left on most social issues. I am slightly "lib-left" on the Political Compass, a bit libertarian, not wild about the "uniparty" in DC and not wild ab out Globalism.

  10. Agree that parts of the constitution should be considered for updating. And there is a process for that (formal Amendments). I think it would be highly entertaining because advocate/opponents (the politicians) for many proposed changes would have a very hard time articulating their positions in a way that was rational and would not get them laughed off the stage.

  11. Don't know if you will see this bc the post is active, but wanted you to know something helpful about "boundaries" that many people do not understand. "Setting boundaries" is not about other people's behavior, it is about YOUR behavior. In this case it is not about her not doing the teasing, but about you not putting up with it. You actually did the right (and healthy) thing by leaving.

  12. I’m not against it per se, but there are better systems than RCV, such as STAR. RCV would be a baby step in the right direction, but far from what is needed.

  13. I just checked out STAR and it looks dubious to me. Essentially and overly complicated version of RCV, giving a point value instead of just a rank. I know that works for things like MVP voting in some sports leagues, but trying to scale that to millions of votes (with a lot of very dumb voters....) I just don't see it.

  14. It actually simplifies the ballot counting process because the votes are counted once vs RCV every time a candidate is eliminated the votes need to be counted again.

  15. "Not to mention RCV has many problems."

  16. You aren't shy and that is what I am here for!

  17. Ha! Was I right about this room being a collection point for all the stuff that did not fit elsewhere?

  18. Hahahahahaha ... reap what you sow Google. When you only hire "progressive" folks into a DEI environment, this is what you get ...

  19. Teacher here ... "immense amount of pressure?" Lololololololol There is NO PRESSURE in modern US K-12 schools. NONE. It is 99% spoon-fed coddling with tons and tons of "points for nothing", etc. etc.

  20. I will get sniped by some for this, but I saw Whitney Houston live in concert at Riverfest in St. Paul, Minnesota in 1987. Whitney has many amazing (recorded in the studio) songs to her credit - BUT she struggled in live performances. I know she has a wonderful Natty Anthem to her credit. But she has many many many live failures. Does not change a thing if she pulled of live singing a few times ...

  21. Packers would have topped the list, but they only measured their children ...
