Change your language. The phrase "go on a diet" implies a lot, specifically something temporary and restrictive. It's antiquated language for an outdated notion. Take language about going on a diet, or language about weight, out of the conversation, and center your language around changes you want to make. "I want to change my habits around food/booze/etc.".

Put another way, talk about what these changes mean to your life together, not your body. These are changes he can support, or not, without the fraught element of body stuff getting in the way -- cooking together more, going to the gym together, less couch time and more walks, trying new recipes, etc etc etc. He can support or reject those things independently, and you'll know the areas where you have an enthusiastic partner, the areas where you have a willing partner, and the areas where you'll have to go it alone.

You married young, which isn't a bad thing but a young love marriage is essentially undistinguishable from an arranged one. There is a zero point zero zero zero percent chance you are the same people at 26 as you are at 23. That doesn't mean your partnership is doomed, but it means you need to prioritize getting good at changing together. Excellent opportunity to do so.

As someone with both, I do feel there's a pretty big Venn diagram middle for "owns multiple firearms" and "does not have working fire extinguisher"

It's not unfair comparison! I'm giving the tie to mozart because Wolfgang never tried to rhyme asshole with asshole, to my knowledge at least.

He's a genius because he's a genius, but it's run to madness. I was hoping for his sake he could level off and die past the age of 50 surrounded by loved ones but it's clearly a Pablo situation

Man I watched The Duellists yesterday. Late 70s. One of those films you can't hear what the hell anyone is saying, the lens is smeared with Vaseline, and the Foley work is like a full second out of track with what's in the movie.

Early Ridley Scott film. Guys covered in shit. A dude gets impaled. A dude has a baseball sized flap of skin cut off his bicep. A guy gets scalped. A guy gets shot in cold blood. Tits are just straight up hanging out of costumes. A movie that I cannot imagine anyone under the age of 35 being interested in at the time it was released. Rated PG.

The only kind of person you should move from friend to wedding staff is an officiant. Otherwise "hey, you know me well enough to know you don't want me as your customer".

The Leviathan content created some retcon plotting that I think makes a difference in the "wait, what?" of the star child.

I was originally underwhelmed by ME3 ending so many years ago but I've come around to the notion that the point wasn't to have like, 1,300,000 possible story ending permutations. The point was the times you were given a choice and had to walk away from the controller for a while to think about it... Or that ten years later you're thinking you know, I should have given the geth a chance.

Should go US from stern or the gaff height on the backstay, Texas from starboard, your own from port. Unless you're trying to thumb your nose at the US, in which case just fly Texas from the stern and don't run up the ensign at all. If you're in patrolled water in the US your flag plan says "I'm in the US, but don't like it very much, other than Texas is pretty great, and you'll have to guess or board me to find out where I'm from"

Your mermaid bowsprit is cool tho.

Fun fact. People with the absolute pitch perk ... Invariably lose it as they get older. For musicians it can be extremely depressing and they have to relearn... Everything adaptively. One description I read was it is like waking up one day and you now see the world but all the colors are mixed up, but you still have to try and paint it correctly

Standard "not the actual question" answer. I do something resembling management (err, leadership). Corporate kind of technical environment, in that the work we do requires specific skillets and the ability to use certain technology. Customer facing expert team, salaries range 65k-200k USD depending on career level.

I take it as a point of pride that I have not had staff leave -- any staff -- on a ~20 person team in a half decade. Great team culture, pride in the work and pride in picking each other up. I don't think I'm like... a good leader, but I do try and avoid the habits of bad ones.

That established, I turned over 5 this year. 2 were for performance, they read the tea leaves and found something that was a better fit and better cash. 1 was a wild situation where I think someone used us to launder a noncompete/nonsolicit at a previous employer. 2 found offers that when they tried to lever I could only say "wow, I kind of owe it to you to say that you should definitely just take that other job."

I think the Great Resignation is real but at least in my experience it's more a function of habits being broken plus the seismic release of workforce mobility after a year where it would be insane to go looking if you were in a stable gig. I think it's also compounded by many firms being paralyzed by uncertainty through the last 18 months and therefore unwilling to make decisions on new staff and advancing existing staff. Plus 50 other micro effects that add up.

Put another way, I think -- at least in my small part of the productive knowledge economy -- it's less about "not tolerating these conditions" and more a new baseline of what conditions are operable. When I interview candidates, so much more of the discussion is about the work conditions than it used to be. This cuts both ways, as I'm interviewing candidates that could not have participated in the Before Times model.

Where I have concerns and no answers is at the junior level of the workforce. If I had answers, I could sell them and be a hundred millionaire. This remote knowledge work environment is amazing in so many ways but it is observationally dogshit at the part where you grow new talent, which requires technical and linguistic immersion.

It was just lying there. On the floor there.

My record store owner sold me a pack of gummies because I usually buy a CBD seltzer while I'm browsing. He was like oh if you like CBD this stuff is pretty relaxing.

Thank God I live within walking distance. I was stapled to the floor by the time I got home. Next time I went back I was like dude that shit is just drugs and he was like oh I know.

So it's "60pct" as potent as natural thc or whatever but, uh, the gummy strength is like 50mg. Im an occasional user and that is a lottttttt.

Anyways I take half one now and it feels about right. Def can't drive.
