    In the US at least:

    What if they get seriously injured? How will you have rights about their care? To go and see them? What if you have great insurance, but they don’t?

    Marriage has tons of benefits over being unmarried, right or wrong. Plus, I enjoyed getting married. I also enjoy being married. Life is hard. My wife always has my back.

    I took it to mean that if you weren’t rich or beautiful, you would be censored. The censorship being a way to show that you weren’t important.

    Of course, that wouldn’t actually be the case in real life, though it may feel that way. If we were looking through the lens from a big data company, it would be true that we’re just one data point in a sea of data points, but they rely on the sea and the sea is made of me’s.









  • They give me those days “off.” I take those days off. I’m already WFH, but I spend the time prepping for the storms and then taking care of my kids and making sure they feel happy and safe. We make a movie marathon out of it. We download stuff to tablets for when the power goes out. We get out the air mattress and sleep together in the living room (my bedroom is under a tree). Work is not going to interrupt me taking care my family.

    I know that I am in a fortunate situation that allows me to do something that many can’t. I don’t take that for granted. That said, I do make it happen.

    It is tradition in my family that we watch Halloween/scary movies on one long weekend in October each year. We eat yummy food and candy. We sleep on an air mattress in the living room. I guess we may stop if my kids protest when they get older, but not all traditions are bad or harken back to the dead, or even our parents. My wife and I started this when it was just the two of us, and we’ve continued with our kids. Everyone loves it.
