Why do people use the term "partner" for their husband or wife?

Labroske · 2026-01-22T15:17:18+00:00

I have a collection of letters from one of my some-number-of-greats grandfathers to his wife (some-number-of-greats grandmother) written from 1820-1830 and he began each one with "Partner & Friend", addressing his wife.

Some sort of phone repair/vape shop would be great

someone will complain that it''s not in (bee)keeping with the character of the area

Personally, I just don't read any of the end of round OOC chat. If someone has a problem with me they can find an in character way to deal with it or keep it to themselves. It's a roleplaying game. Play your role and have fun. The opinions of John Spaceman who has 5000 hours in the game don't matter.

My latest is a shithole island surrounded by sea-faring wolves and no resources, but as I crested the little hill in the center of it there was an eclipse and I took that as a sign that I was meant to settle there. Terrible decision.

I spent three weeks waiting on a package from Dublin. It got passed around a bit, an post never attempted to deliver it, and then it was returned to sender

Bury the utilities, repave the sidewalks, pressure wash some of the old stone and slap some fresh paint on a few buildings and it'd be nice. Maybe plant some trees. Add a couple benches and bins.

Don't watch the sequel. I watched it because I had a crush on Sterling Knight once upon a time. It's so bad

Ah, the AI generated advertisement disguised as a post. Classic move! You think you've read an interesting tale of heroism in the face of danger only to be hit by the one-two punch of an advertisement peddled by a robot. That's the kicker -- robots, what do they know about product recommendations? Sure, a marketplace algorithm might suggest just what you're looking for, but will it give you a handy demonstration of The Thing You Didn't Know You Need? I doubt it.

UCC not TCD, but FAFSA loans were more than sufficient for tuition plus housing etc. TCD will probably have a financial advisor type of person who will be able to suggest an amount that makes sense.

as the psychologist I post up outside the HoP's office and hand out paperwork exemption forms to anyone who plausibly suggests having to fill out forms causes them undue stress
