That’s what cold storage is for.

Kennett Square isn’t exactly rural. It’s near rural stuff but could arguably be considered an exurb of Philly, and there’s quite a lot of wealth nearby. Around the election I saw about even amounts of Trump and Kamala signs.

Yeah probably some pimple-faced DOGE kid who never learned about the Enola Gay because their school systems were underfunded and they’re too young to remember OMD.

I’m intrigued, what movie is this?

Break out of frames!

His crybaby blubbering “I like beer” temper tantrum is pretty disqualifying IMO

Yeah, styrofoam’s notoriously bad for the environment. Plus just annoying to deal with. I hate it.

Hey Melania, go fuck yourself, you vile fucking dipshit.

Please don’t put words in my mouth.

Hey Brin, kindly go fuck yourself, you out-of-tpuch ass.

FUCK THIS GUY SO HARD. I swear to god this lunatic needs to be stopped.

Yorkshire Gold, two sugars, splash of evaporated milk.

No, of course it’s not healthy. I’m just saying it’s not violent.

In a marriage/committed partnership, I think most people would consider a fight to be an argument with raised voices and some ill feeling. I really don’t think most people consider shouting to be violent. Upsetting, maybe, but violent?

In a high cost-of-living area, it absolutely can be. And lots of tech jobs are in HCOL areas.

Probably not. Bearing = birthing, rearing = raising.

What the fuck.

I think you replied to the wrong comment?

It’s where the partnership is mostly focused on the kids, leaving very little time for the parents to connect. I see this more and more with how heavily scheduled kids are now. Parents have to schlep them from school to sports to playdates to music lessons, etc… it seems so overwhelming. And people don’t seem to use babysitters anymore so it’s rare the parents get adult time together to go out on a date, listen to live music, go dancing, see a movie, etc - just be people in love together and focus on each other. I think time together without the kids is vital to keeping a connection with your partner. Otherwise everything is parenting and logistical planning. You need balance.

I’ve heard “quarterlife crisis” used for this before. I think a quarterlife crisis is different in some key ways from a midlife crisis, and it makes some sense to distinguish between the two. I think more than comparison to others’ achievements, these crises have malaise/discontent at their cores. By the time you reach a midlife crisis, it can be extremely hard to make changes that will reinvigorate you: a lot of the time you’re pretty stuck - in that boring job, with that big mortgage, in that “Parents, Inc.” marriage, with those needy kids. When you’re going through a quarterlife crisis, I think it’s that post-college “is this all there is?” doldrums. But at that age there are fewer variables and change might be tough, but still easier because there are fewer people relying on you.

Just based on my observations, anyway.
