Yeah, the stylist looks like “WTF are you doing? Do I come to your job and take photos of you?”

No, I need more empty jars! What else should I put in all those neat empty boxes I collected?

That was kinda my point. If you rely on the fact that your boyfriend or girlfriend understands you well enough that they wouldn’t do a proposal that makes you feel uncomfortable, then them doing something like that might be a deal breaker or at least not an immediate yes. Because it would make you rethink whether they really understand you. But we’re probably getting lost in hypotheticals here. As long as everyone involved in the OP was happy, I’m happy for them.

To be fair — if I talked to my hypothetical pilot boyfriend and agreed I would marry him and then he proposes on a flight he pilots, in front of all the passengers, I might say No no matter what we discussed previously. Because that would certainly make me question the whole relationship.

There can never be a 100% sure while the where and how to propose is still open, since it includes a lot of scenarios that range from uncomfortable to batshit insane.

There’s a huge difference between defending yourself and mocking a person you just hurt.

I’ve recently learned about bourdaloues. I wonder how many of them had a second life as a gravy boat.

If you’re anywhere in North America

I am not and every argument in this thread seems to assume I am and argues with some rules in the US or Canada. This was exactly my point. The situation seems to be wildly different than my experience.

1. I realised afterwards that I said nothing about executing landlords. I’m also not in favour, in case anyone was wondering.
2. Hm, I guess it comes down to what is meant by “make it easier”.
   The only way to reduce the proportion of single-family houses around here seems to be by adding rules and restrictions. Adding more rules is usually not what people mean when they say “make it easier”. But I get your point.

I don’t think you live where I live. Because where I live there is just no room to build many more houses without demolishing other houses first. There is a lot of discussion about moving away from single-family houses and increasing the density of living space. I don’t see how this would be solved by making it easier to build.

ETA: Just to be clear, I absolutely am not advocating for deporting immigrants.

As a developer I can freely admit that without the operations people the software I develop would not run anywhere but on my laptop.

I know as much about hardware as a cook knows about his stove and the plates the food is served on – more than the average person but waaaay less than the people producing and maintaining them.

I would never paste code into a Word document. I use Notepad++ for that.

You don’t get it, they are only sluts when they are giving other men attention. When they are giving OP attention, they are graceful, heavenly creatures (who should also give him some sex).

Also, storing a few high-res images takes a lot less space than storing hours/days/weeks/months of high-res videos.

“LGTM”

Nice, done for today.
