Even in more progressive areas boys are socialized differently. I’ve been in a field where I see early childhood until middle school for years now. And girls, from the beginning, and raised more strictly. They have more care in their clothes, their meals, and the skills they are taught. They rarely fight, and if they do, it’s not on impulse. My theory on why people often say “boys are easier” is because they absolutely neglect them. So the onus is on 3rd parties to often teach them basic skills and rule following, to control their impulses, etc. Even in K-5, boys are the ones who are telling their teachers to fuck off, leaving the buildings without permission, fighting, etc. Parents blame the teacher/staff, if they are present at all, and antisocial behavior gets rewarded again and again.

Some are obviously irritated at my presence. Like, sorry for existing. I’m just your supervisor, so I have to teach you shit for you to grow and make more money.

Very boomer/wife bad/facebook meme. Surprised to see it here.

It’s weird to me that all the outlets are going with “model scout” instead of “trafficker”.

Given who the fathers generally are in teen pregnancy, this also feels like them trying another avenue to legitimize pedophilia.

Yeah it wouldn’t be a bad response at all in a healthy relationship context. I wish all partners could give each other the same respect. I like the response, just not the frame.

I’ve had a partner criticize my video game time before. They didn’t want to spend more time with me though, they just didn’t like that I was talking to other people online. I’ve also had a partner spend 90% of their free time online and ignore our relationship. What I find most interesting about the meme however is that any time it comes up it’s always the female partner giving the ultimatum, and I do not think that is a coincidence, I think it’s shaping a perception, and rage bait.

Yeah definitely the elephant in the room when this comes up. Women didn’t have a choice and they were impregnated over and over even if it killed them.

Whew. Hate the beach personally. Almost thought I was a seagull, but not quite!

I don’t get punished for not taking sick days. I just have to double up on missed billing stuff the next day usually. So it’s like it’s own punishment.

Yeah stuffed crust is almost as bad as adding pineapple. It’s definitely a terrible texture.

Between undergraduate and postgraduate I went about 70k in. But most of it was UConn being too expensive. I don’t think I could have learned this depth of knowledge on the internet. Just the very basics, but not the minutiae, which are very important at my level. The degree included access to fieldwork and clinical trial stuff I couldn’t do otherwise. What I will say is that if I had not been committed as a student to my education, it wouldn’t have been the same outcome.

Excuse me, but where is “cool beans?”

Hoping we get through the next 24 hours or so. My apartment is a heat trap (hotter than the house I’m moving into without AC). It’s 83 in here with the ac running constantly.

My little adjustments are a spindrift mocktail and I really love leftover pizza. Something about it warmed up and all melty and chewy.

Maybe $300 in total.

The house I’m moving in to doesn’t have AC. Which will be fun during the next few weeks.

That was me and spring rolls. I got a good bottle of soy sauce and chili sauce at the Asian market they don’t sell anywhere else in town. I know they aren’t perfect but it saves a lot of money.

My lunch from home tastes the way I want it, and it cost less, and it’s better for me…sooo yeah.
