Well now I can’t unhear that, thanks.

Me too.

My coworker is an air force vet. I just told him, with zero context, “it wasn’t the war thunder forums this time”. He closed his eyes, sighed, and shook his head, then went back to what he was doing.

This is so on-the-nose.

I wish it were that easy in the US.

Yep. Most websites make it intentionally difficult to reject this stuff by giving you a single “ACCEPT ALL” button and then burying each individual actual setting behind multiple menus and dropdowns, some of which are deliberately obfuscated, sometimes with odd color choices for the toggle that make it difficult to determine whether the option is actually on or off.

Some websites offer a “Reject All” option, but they are few and far between.

I’ve taught my kids that they are under no obligation to participate in such pointlessly performative acts. I have my brother to thank for that, he defied the pledge when he was in high school. It planted a seed for me.

Our landlord goes through a local management company. It’s something, I guess.

She really is wonderful.

👏…👏…👏…👏…👏…

I should! Just gotta grab her wedding ring so I can size a ring for her!

Seriously though, we actually joke about that all the time. We were good friends back in high school (way back in the 2000s), but “took the long way around” (long story), then reconnected and finally got married a couple years ago. Worked out great.

My wife was digging around under our bed for something and asked me to help pull her out, so I ran up and cried “oh no step-wife, you’re stuck” and briefly dry humped her (don’t worry I pulled ^her out). She said she bruised her ribs from laughing so hard 😂

My wife and I both decided that we would be cremated instead of buried, and then have our ashes combined and shot into space… or the ocean. Whichever is more practical. That way we can adventure together for the rest of time.

That aside… I was talking with one of my buddies last night. He has a house, and I’ve lamented being stuck renting forever. He tries really hard to see the good in whatever situation may come, and my situation is no exception. He started listing off all of the issues he’s had with his house, even after essentially re-engineering the electrical and water systems, and almost the entire supporting structure. I guess it helped, I mean if my water heater decides to take a shit, I can just call the landlord and they’ll handle it…

Sure thing boss

Take your upvote and get out

Your comment got autocorrected to “vaccination”. Just FYI.

I also had a vasectomy. Mine came with a free panic attack. Luckily my urologist was really good and started tossing out all sorts of corny dick jokes. It legitimately helped.

That said, I was in and out within an hour and got to jack off as much as I wanted with zero guilt (I was mormon at the time - that’s relevant, I promise). Cannibal Corpse made an appearance in my toilet the first couple times.

My wife, on the other hand, had to go to the OR to get her tubal litigation done. She chose to do so as a result of RvW being repealed. But we don’t need to worry about condoms, which is nice, since she has a latex allergy.

My honest opinion? By the city. Yeah i know that introduces another layer of issues, but there needs to be some sort of integrity in place so there’s no conflict of interest coughutahlegislaturecough

As someone who is likely going to be stuck renting for the foreseeable future, I agree. I’ll happily pay my deposit to some sort of escrow that the landlord has zero access to until it’s proven by a neutral third party, with no financial interest in the property, who has seen the property before and after renting.

That mouse is early-2000s as fuck
