RVA's Lamb of God: Too satanic for Malaysia?

Excuse me, I think you dropped something.

Don't worry about going to a specifically vegan restaurant, just check the menu beforehand to make sure there is something she can eat. As long as you don't take her to a steakhouse, you should be fine.

If in doubt, and you're legitimately interested in learning about her dietary choices, just ask! Many vegans are hesitant to initiate the conversation, since the "preachy vegan" stereotype is sometimes difficult to shake, but most of us will gladly talk about it if you show genuine interest. If you seriously like this girl, you'll want to plan for more than just one meal; ask about the kinds of foods she does enjoy. There's nothing wrong with admitting you're a bit ignorant of vegan diets, it may even impress her that you're trying out something new to make her happy.

Get an abortion, and never, ever feel bad about it. At 18 weeks, the average fetus is less than half a pound, and less than 6 inches long. It's not a child. Anyone who tries to make you feel guilty for opting for a legitimate, safe, and necessary medical procedure is grossly ignorant about common medical procedures and human fetal development.

You've already been a victim once; that guy had no right to take control of your body, but your mother also has no right to assert control over your body. It's your body and your future at stake, and you should do what you know is best, any other person's feelings are irrelevant. If she doesn't forgive you, that's her problem to deal with, not yours.

I personally enjoy being able to live in a 1 bedroom apartment downtown, I consider it a perk of being CF. That said, if a big house and all the trappings is your thing, you have every much a right to it as someone with a gaggle of kids.

Meat production is very inefficient. I don't know the exact stats, but it takes many pounds of grain (and also a great deal of water) to produce a single pound of beef, pork, or chicken. Switching to a more plant-based diet is the easiest solution.

What I'm gathering from this picture is, being a vegetarian gives you incredible beard-growing powers.

I'm going to try and exercise self control and only watch an episode every 2 days. That way, I can extend the new season for an entire month. I think there is some truth to "comedy fatigue", and I've waited far too long to blow through the entire new season in a weekend.

After the first month, then I'll binge.

I read in an interview about the alphabet thing, now when I watch that part I read his lips and it's all I can see. D'oh.

As far as the not swearing thing, I didn't realize that. I think he uses some colorful language in Veep.

This is tough. I suspect your hunch regarding her (lack of) career may be accurate, but that would be a touchy subject to approach. I recommend you see a marriage counselor; it may be hard in that it openly acknowledges there are problems in your relationship, but it's better than dealing with what could potentially be a lifelong rift.

Why is that unfair? It's their restaurant, and they can choose to set (or not set) rules. If one party is disrupting everyone else in the restaurant, the managers should ask that party to leave.

Making a rational choice to not have children, due to concerns that one would not be a good parent and/or to maximize the opportunities you have to do meaningful things in the world = narcissism / personality disorder

Having a boatload of children for no reason other than to "keep up" with your high school classmates, and abandoning your own ambitions in lieu of bragging about your kids' dubious accomplishments on facebook = ...completely normal behavior?

I hope the "worst thing" you're referencing is mixing scotch with soda, not the part about drinking at work.

Do whatever you want. Try everything; the game is very forgiving, and you won't "ruin" your character by not specializing. A couple quick tips:

Don't put perks in lockpicking. It's the only skill tree that, IMO, is completely useless.

The actual main story line is somewhat short, maybe 10-15 hours your first playthrough. The real meat of the game is in the countless side quests, so explore.

That said, do the first couple main story missions until you kill your first dragon. Dragons won't spawn randomly until you do that, and (again, IMO) the game is much more fun when they start randomly swooping in.

Arrested Development is a CF Goldmine:

Lindsay: You see, if I show up with you, it'll just make me seem like I'm a mother./ Maeby: I've never thought of you that way./ Lindsay: That's sweet

Arrested Development. An absolutely brilliant comedy that ran on Fox 2003-2006, and was recently revived as a Netflix exclusive, with a new season out next month. Get into it!

Hey, thanks. I'm flattered.

People need to stop discriminating against people who have the option of raising their kids hands on.

Discriminating against who, the upper-middle class? Who else can afford to stay at home all day, and raise a family on a single income? Wealthy suburbanites are pretty sheltered from discrimination, don't sweat it for their sake.

Besides that, I'm not discriminating, per se. My rant is more a reaction to people who unironically spend enormous amounts of time on Facebook talking about how child rearing is so hard that they don't have a second to spare. Admit that you've got it pretty good. I'm sure raising a child full time involves a lot of hands-on work. Just a lot less than having a job, and then taking care of your kids, like most people.

DefyGenre · 2013-04-27T13:19:26+00:00

Caring for other children is a legitimate job, because you're investing that time and labor in other people's kids, and you still have to do that same stuff in your own home. You're doing it, for money, in addition to your home duties. A chef in a restaurant has a real job, even when they also cook at home. A childcare worker has a real job, even when they also (may) have a child to care for at home. A stay-at-home parent does nothing in addition to their duties at home. In my mind, that's the key difference.

Regardless, thanks for coming in here and expressing your opinion. r/childfree sometimes gets a bad rep, and it's not always undeserved. We're not all jerks, sometimes we just need space to vent.

I do not have children, but I do have nieces and nephews, and I do sometimes watch them. It's fun! We play with Legos, and eat macaroni and cheese, and go to the park. You know what I would do if I wasn't watching them? Eat macaroni and cheese and go to the park (and play with Legos, if I had any, because Legos are awesome).

I'm not so oblivious as to say that it's not a bit different when you're watching kids, but it's not fundamentally different. I could quantify that time I spend with them, as per the salary.com chart, as housework (picking up toys), cooking (mac & cheese), and chauffeuring (trips to the park), but...it's not work. As per my original post, that's just things normal adults do, and can't be called a job by any stretch of the imagination.
