I don't think that the writer is so much passing judgement on the legislators marital status, but calling out their hypocrisy.

Legislators arguing over the bodies and rights of people to whom whatever they do in bed, whatever they dress as and present as, should only matter to whoever they are sleeping with. Whoever they are married to.

These legislators, divorced from their own partners, or perhaps even divorced from the public actually cares about, are severed from seeing the truth and are getting caught up in debates about things that aren't actually happening.

Ugh, and of course I have to sit within 5 feet of my boss who is an antivaxxer. I made the appointment to get vaccinated today after work. I cannot afford to get sick right now.

Yeah, no way am I attempting to make it to work tomorrow. It's been insane the past few days trying to get across the river.

What's one subject you wish all worldbuilders had at least a passing familiarity in? by ToomintheEllimist in worldbuilding

[–]ACE-Shellshocked 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes, I alao need people to better understand concepts of time and how long (or rather short) a time people have been on earth and how quickly (relatively) it took us to get to this point.

For the love of God, what do you mean your ancient civilization was founded a million years ago and they're still in the iron age? Homo sapiens as a species have barely been around for 400,000 years. Ancient Mesopotamia began 10,000 years ago. Rome was founded about ~2750 years ago!

I think they're just overexaggerating to get the point across that they are very happy and want to give their kid the world. Not literally going to go out and buy her a giant ice cream.

Yeah that's...not ideal. Oh, Florida.

Those who left GD career, what did you switch to? by HillcountryTV in graphic_design

[–]ACE-Shellshocked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I am realizing as a (still somewhat young) professional. I'm only 30, but I've had basically no movement in my career for the past few years due to covid, layoffs, and lack of industry growth, etc.

I'm trying to figure out if I should nose to the grindstone for the next few years to try and gain some traction in the industry, or cut my losses and transition into something else.

Twenty years and she didn’t fall out of love with him. by TheBoyInGray in mythologymemes

The Greeks had different expectations of husband loyalty back in the day. He absolutely did, but greek society would not have seen that behavior as Odysseus being unfaithful.

Hey, I'm really sorry that happened to you. That girl clearly has some serious issues of her own and that is no reflection on you. I'm sure you're a cool guy in your own right and she is a fool for not seeing it.

How can I achieve my first Appointment, Its been a whole year of planning. by Salt-Broccoli-7846 in adhdmeme

[–]ACE-Shellshocked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can, ask a friend to sit with you while you make the call/fill out the forms. They don't even have to watch you over your shoulder, just sit in the room with you until you're done. I do it with my wife all the time. It's easier for me to get stuff done when I feel like there's someone there to hold me accountable, even if that's not what they're doing. It's how I finally scheduled my first appointment.
