I went the friend-to-romantic-partner route, so it was pretty much just like hanging out with any other friends.

I'd love to see a street view equivalent to this project.

The "all lives matter" equivalent here would be asking: what about people from the countries that didn't participate in the war?

It could've been cooked before being cut.

Submarines work by manipulating their density, don't they? Then they just float at whatever level matches their density.

To be clear, I mean "you" as in the general you, not you specifically. Didn't mean for it to come off as an attack.

I would be equally amazed to see something denser than water swimming.

It's probably uncommon to go from Christian to Muslim or vice versa, but I've seen many going from religious to atheist.

I don't hear much about vegan children, so I can't speak on that.

Celebrating Chinese New years? I think when it comes to culture specific celebrations, it feels inappropriate to partake in those of other cultures, especially when you don't know much of them. But when you have some of your own where that doesn't apply, then you take it, because a celebration of any kind of a celebration. An excuse for getting together and doing something special.

I think this shift you speak of is more likely when the world around you is visibly doing better than your immediate surroundings. Right now, I'm not convinced that's the case anymore, so sticking to what you know and grew up with feels much safer, even if it's still shitty.

I don't see the difference. If someone doesn't want to have sex with you, whatever the reason may be, then you accept that decision and move on. The inability to accept that would be a form of misogyny in my books. This may not be what was meant by the comment you responded to, but I interpret as: stop being misogynistic, not because that'll make women want to have sex with you (though it might), but because it's not your place to unilaterally decide who should have sex with you.

Mom called. She wants to know when to expect grandkids.

I get the opposite problem. If I get things nearly perfect on the first try, I'll just think to myself that I'll never top that and give up. There's something satisfying about seeing improvement. In the same vein, seeing results get worse is highly discouraging.

Does he even need to send them anything? Doesn't he just have to say a few words to give Ukraine permission to build their own? Although I guess if they lose US support, they wouldn't need permission anymore.
