I swear some people go out of their way to judge others for the most ridiculous things. Maybe try asking yourself why you are not happy about people finding love without going through half a dozen shitty relationships.
Wow, really? Sure is an expensive and necessarily painful thing to opt into or to normalize. I’d rather it be normalized to not get married in the first place.
It’s not that expensive, I did it for $400 amicably. We had a fun time while married and I don’t regret it. Why not just make it easier for people to do what they want and not punish young people for making decisions.
I think a divorce is like $80 where I am, but if you have to go to court obvs it’s a lot more. I spent almost nothing on my wedding, granted it was just friends and was an elopement. Marriage has big tax advantages for some, and it’s the only way my spouse was getting health insurance to survive this godforsaken wasteland. It also guarantees that they get a slice of my income if the unforeseeable happens and we split so they can survive.
I think people should not see marriage as the end goal, but be pragmatic about its costs and benefits, which I think you are getting at too
For real. This post has big “I have regrets and/or fears that I missed out on my younger life, and the only way to not be afraid is to invalidate other people’s choices” energy. Every life and every combination of experiences produces a unique piece of art. OP, your life is valid and worthwhile - you don’t have to tear other people down for that to be the case.
Oh I have issues with commitment and a constant feeling of ‘Is this the best I can expect?’ but I don’t regret my younger life.
My ‘weird’ sentiment stems more from me looking in from the outside at relationships where 20 year olds decide they want to spend the rest of their lives with each other. I can’t imagine missing out on potentially meeting someone more compatible. Can you really meet the most compatible person for you when you’re 20?
When I was 20 I was a very different person, I’m assuming that’s similar for others.
Other commenters have talked about how they grow with partners but I wonder if it’s truly possible to do that while being so ‘together’ with another person. Some things you have to learn on your own.
Depends/sometimes… If it’s like you said then 25% of that 60% and you get 60-15=45. If it’s some rando looking at 60% total and 35% total and they go “oh neat one of these numbers is 25 bigger/smaller!” Then maybe not?
You can be happy and find love without marrying someone.
Like i think most people would say its weird to marry someone the day after you meet them for the first time, right? Is that you hating peoples happiness and love? or is that you being a realest that that marriage probably wont last and will just be messy for both people?
At the same time, it picks and chooses its dates. Gold has been volatile, with the price oscillating between $2,100 USD in 1980, $470 USD in 2001, and back up to $2,200 USD in 2011.
The meme may be true, but it is less meaningful than you might assume at first glance. The obvious comparison is those memes comparing wages or dollar values with house prices, where obviously inflation has made a huge difference in 100 years. However, you should compare it to other types of investment, so does a stock index grow as fast as home prices or not?
Fist-Bump Met my wife in 8th Grade. Got married at 21. Just celebrated our 28th anniversary. I think if the trust, loyalty and love is there, you’ll know. Neither of us had a doubt about each other, and we’re best friends.
Note: We did take a year or so off around 18-19, too get ‘it’ out of our systems.
Hold onto your hats, folks, because we’re about to embark on a cosmic journey with our newest graduate fresh out of the School of Life, wielding a degree in “Thinking Outside the Box” – who needs rocket scientists when we’ve got the undisputed brainiac extraordinaire, the maestro of mind-bending maneuvers? I can almost hear the distant applause of neurons doing a standing ovation while the rest of us are fumbling around with the intellectual equivalent of tying our shoes.
Picture this fantastical scenario: You, the audacious trailblazer of unconventional thought, taking a nosedive into the intellectual abyss armed with nothing but a pencil and a facial expression that’s a delightful mix of confusion and curiosity. It’s like watching a mad scientist at work, except your mind is the laboratory, and the experiments are as outlandish as a penguin attempting ballet.
And let’s not gloss over your unparalleled talent for turning everyday situations into head-scratching brain teasers. It’s not just a skill; it’s a superpower. I’m fully convinced that your thought process is so avant-garde that it might be the secret to cracking not just the code of the universe, but also the eternal mystery of why socks always go missing in the laundry.
Let me set the stage for you: You, the comedic genius, striding confidently into the intellectual circus ring, armed with humor and a slightly questionable understanding of gravity. It’s as if you’ve seamlessly merged the worlds of stand-up comedy and theoretical physics, leaving us all in stitches while contemplating the intricacies of the cosmos. Move over, Einstein; there’s a new player in town, and they’re armed with punchlines and the ability to make quantum physics sound like a stand-up routine.
So here’s a toast to our resident wizard of wit, the grandmaster of goofiness, and the unchallenged heavyweight champion of thinking outside the metaphorical box – may your brain continue its acrobatic feats, leaving the rest of us mere mortals simultaneously perplexed and entertained!
I work in IT. My boss is by all accounts very competent in both programming and administration, yet all his documentation basically says “remember to set DoTheRightThing=True”
Edit: I just looked up the documentation for an internal service and under “Error recovery” it just says “The output of command xy should make sense”. fml
Back in the olde days of programming (I'm talking about compilers from the 80s) the coding connoisseur knew that getting a certain error that seemed like nonsense could easily be solved by adding an extra, or removing a remark line from the top of the code and recompiling.
