But they‘d definitely be kind enough to give you, like, three months to reactivate your account before they have no choice but to delete your mum for good (and keep sending you „your mom misses you!“ e-mails during those three months) 😬

But part of the fantasy he described was the woman being so happy to see him *every day* when he gets home that she runs out and leaps into his arms.
Now: SIR.
But there is part of him that really wants that, I think. He wants actual affection and for someone to be excited to see him. (2/)

I think it’s also true that loneliness among women has historically been treated as an individual problem, while loneliness among men is treated as a societal problem. That, in turn, comes from an assumption that women are supposed to earn the company of others while men are entitled to it.
men’s loneliness gets “more airtime”?
baby I have lived the past three decades of my life witnessing corporate media elevate men’s loneliness into a full-blown balls-to-the-wall CRISIS once every 4-5 years
“more airtime” is hilarious

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam
This is where we're at now.

I’ve posted this before but the light was perfect today- a little Victorian cat paw in a brick at the front of the old Norfolk & Norwich Hospital. As this is on the front-facing corner of the main gates, the bricklayer quite clearly put it there on purpose, at a height where children would spot it.

interesting choice to project "LET THEM BE KIDS" onto the Sydney Harbour Bridge as part of the celebrations of the teen social media ban
It's not a line that came from Albanese or the government — it's the name of News Corp's campaign for the ban.

At a dance class I complimented a woman on her grippy-bottomed socks. “I love the psych ward socks,” I said. And she goes “I call them Pilates socks.” And those, my friends, are the two types of people.

there is a seething, contemptuous outrage on the part of the Dem elder statesman subcategory of the Epstein caucus (your Clintons, your Cuomos, your Pelosis, etc) for the younger generations who are openly rejecting their obsolete way of doing things, and the mask slips a little more every day
