Assuming you are in a position to do so safely (given the mental illness stuff), stop smoking/vaping/eating weed for 3 to 6 months and I can almost guarantee your tolerance will reset.

True, but you can meet in the middle re: this kind of thing with the ring. Having established that it’s going to happen at some point, take a trip to a jewelers ‘for fun’. Pay attention to what she goes ‘oooh’ over - style, stone, cut, etc. Write this information down to search separately.

It’s a bit of a stereotype I suppose, but trust that your future wife knows what she’s doing on that visit (particularly if y’all don’t browse jewelry together frequently - it’s kind of an anvil of a hint). This way there’s still an element of surprise, but you’re not just picking something random in hopes it pleases.

MSN was for your friends and friends of friends, ICQ was gamers and pre-MSN friends, IRC was for pretending you were a 17 year old girl from California.

I have no idea why there’s downvotes on this. Whether it’s for a day trip or two weeks, ideally I’m bringing a single backpack, and I’m always a little miffed if that’s not possible.

Particularly if I’m going somewhere urban, I go to a laundromat one morning, grab a coffee from nearby, make some small talk with the locals or just chill waiting. It’s a nice break before going on with the rest of your day.

The only thing that’s weird to me about this is, why divorce in that case? There’s no law that says you need to live in the same domicile as your spouse. Could’ve lived separately and kept stuff like shared insurance benefits and whatnot.

It’s rare, granted, but it is a thing. Unless they wanted to separate their financial lives entirely and keep getting down, I guess.

Aside from the fact that it’d be very easy to dox this guy if they did, I too would be interested to read it.

Be there this weekend.

If you feel strongly enough about this - or anything, really - trust your instinct and give yourself permission to act without asking it of strangers. Said sympathetically, I’m not immune to this phenomenon either.

As Canadians, this should alarm us as well. The U.S is our biggest trading partner, we share the largest land border in the world, our political climate is directly impacted by what goes on to the south, and we have our own growing alt-right movement which the CP is pandering to - taking direct inspiration, if not outright manipulation, from the same elements at play in the U.S.

We are not immune to any of this. The deeper the U.S. gets into the shit, the more dire the implications for Canadians become. If Project 2025 comes to be, and our government doesn’t play ball with their approach to international relations, we’re fucked. If we DO play ball, we’re probably also fucked in different ways.

Lemon tek, shroom tea with as much fungal material removed as possible, or if you have the stomach for it chewing really well and chewing on fresh ginger afterwards.

All three ways have dramatically helped my imaginary friend with their nausea.

Edit: Same imaginary friend had the following to say about acid - if you’re taking a full on, deep diving dose, take the day off and do it in the morning. You’ll probably be good to sleep at a decent time v. doing it in the afternoon/evening. Good trips often require some planning - that’s why they’re called trips!

Wow, this brought back a weird memory.

There was a very old internet ‘trend’ that had folks basically stretching and helicoptering their dicks on a regime with the idea that over time, it would make them bigger.

Basically dicksmashing.
