I don’t agree with this idea that Ys always need to start at zero. If you want to demonstrate volatility there is a good reason to chop the scale. Just be up front about what you’re doing and why you made that choice. It’s only misleading if you chop the scale and misrepresent the result.

1.4 billion missing from balance sheet. Stock goes up.

Every cyber truck in North America recalled. Stock goes up.

Tesla banned from Canadian EV rebate program due to evidence of institutionalized fraud. Stock goes up.

No idea what’s going on.

Time. It’s very slow but will get them in the end.

You just need to interact with people. You’ll figure it out as you go like the rest of us.

I honestly don’t know. I’m physically at the office 35 hours a week. But I’m a knowledge worker and the problems I deal with are always rattling around in my head. So I think about them while driving or at the gym. If there was a way to track that I suppose it might be 70+ hours.

Is there a spelling mistake?

When I was in school in the 1970s it was because they couldn’t get French teachers from Quebec. The youth wanted to stay and build a sovereign Quebec. So they imported French teachers from France and I speak like a French Duke.

He was a Buddhist who spent a good many years living in a monastery on Mt. Baldy. The Sopranos is exactly the kind of project he wouldn’t be involved in.

Why can’t we get accurate information about this?

Because the Internet has been broken by tech “innovation”. But no, no he didn’t.

I put flailing in quotes because I’m actually not moving at all. My partner will be laying next to me and completely unaware of what I’m going through. I feel like I’m struggling like mad but I’m absolutely still. So yeah.

Yuh-huh. I suffer from it occasionally and experience this right down to the “flailing” trying to wake up. Absolute torture.

Removal is so common now that “hairy” is a category on porn sites just like feet or squirting. I suspect I am older than OPs boyfriend and I have never been with a partner who wasn’t close cropped to bare. So attributing it to GenX thing is incorrect. I suspect it’s the boyfriend’s preference.

I do have a copy of “The Joy of Sex” from the 1970s and it has more hair in it than a furry convention.

It’s your boyfriend’s kink, and a pretty common one. I’m also GenX and shaving/waxing is pretty normal for us for both sexes.

Historically, a pornstar named Seka was the first clean shaven woman I saw (yes it was a magazine spread). That was the 1980s and I was trimming by the 90s.

Sleep paralysis. Worst shit ever.

Less than 50 lbs a year. It doesn’t make any sense to manufacture in Canada and move it across the border. It’s easier to import precursors and manufacture in the US. https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/03/politics/us-canada-trade-fentanyl-fact-check/index.html

eta: thousands of pounds move from Mexico to the US. But it’s not a factor on the Northern border. Now if you could stop smuggling guns up here that’d be real nice.

Ask a drumline what they call it.

This is truer than you can imagine. At least from what he told me.

The wads of money stuffed in their pockets act like a pillow suit.

There are a lot of executive security firms. If you have the wallet They have emergency doctors on retainer, private hospitals, helicopters on standby. Yes they will take a bullet for you, but you’ll pay for that privilege. I knew someone who worked for one of the firms in a managerial role.
