Good stuff-- no way my tiny brain is grinding through 52 minutes, but I can fully appreciate (and agree with) the first 20. :) I do want to hear more of your take, though: Why are you "strongly in the less is more camp"? This resonates with me. We have two sets of twins-- the older ones are 4...

Solid advice. Do you wear bifocals or progressives? I'm a little curious how people feel about one vs. the other, although it seems like a no-brainer to go with progressives.

What are your beliefs around how many gifts are enough vs. too many for children? My wife comes from a family that has no boundaries on this, and I am polar opposite. We each have our reasons, but rather than state them and sway opinion, I'd really love to see what you all think about it. How...

Age is catching up with me, and I just got a prescription for bifocals on Friday. Over the weekend, I learned about the difference between bifocals and progressive lenses. I'm leaning toward progressives now, but don't have any experience, and they are quite a bit more expensive. What do you...

Read: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/interior-watchdog-january-6-report_n_658081d0e4b036ecab461422# ...but I kinda know how you're going to reply to this, and you're totally right that I'm invested in this narrative and believe what's been reported here like a stupid sheep. So. My bad. I'm...

Those w/a braided belt and some unlaced BK high tops, amiright?

I've stated openly on this forum that my personal journey has included a long period where I was a serial cheater, and completely immersed in sex/love addiction. It cost me a marriage and years of what I can only describe as complete emotional blindness. JG, you said, "How I've handled it so far...

We have Utopia fiber , and our ISP is Xmission ($50/mo). We only do streaming services... and my wife has us subscribed to everything under the sun. Here's our full lineup w/monthly subs, fresh from my monthly budget spreadsheet: *Home entertainment Utopia 30 Xmission 50 ©Hulu 26.8...

It's not what people are saying, no, if that's an honest question. It's just being stated here that while the details of this single event are really sickening, this latest round of violence hasn't happened in a vacuum. And we're about to see equally sickening violence inflicted upon the...

Yeah, I read what OneBrow wrote. And you know what? I took it at face value, because he's not insufferably dogmatic about everything, and is usually pretty well-reasoned in his approach. I give him way more props for being intellectually curious and humble enough to examine where he was wrong...

No, no, no-- stop using data and rational thinking. It works like this: If there is a problem, and the current POTUS isn't a member of the party you identify with (because it's about identity now, not actual politics), then it's the POTUS' fault. Don't you understand how accountability works in...

Here's an urn. And here's another one. And another, and another, and another. Why do I do it? Because that's what Democrats do. <urn> <urn> <urn> <urn> <urn> ...

Yep, me too.

This article about his upcoming biography is actually a pretty good read: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2023/11/mitt-romney-retiring-senate-trump-mcconnell/675306/ “A very large portion of my party,” he told me one day, “really doesn’t believe in the Constitution.” He’d realized...
