The southwest has given up on lawns.
You don't want to know what ticks find to be a hospitable environment. Also, watch out for peckish fish.
Two sets of spot-on insights about relating to other people, centered on the basis of validating the other person and ensuring that he/she feels "heard, seen, and understood" while maintaining yours. Actually, it's the same insight from opposite perspectives:
Wanna date someone with a mullet? The internet is here for you. But be aware of its limitations in that regard.
For reasons not explored here, I'm not interested in dating Russian men, but she makes some good points as well as some BS ones (to be honest, I got bored long before the end). But yes, I was raised with the idea that a woman never pours her own wine.
I'm one of those people who believe that dudes should pay for the first date (but definitely not every or even most dates thereafter). Here's why: as we've established, men will f* anything and will try to f* everything. Having them pay for the first date puts a natural brake on the tendency to hit on everything that moves. It's an entry barrier, if you will. If they're expected to pay, they'll be more selective about whom they hit on, and I think we can all agree that that's a good thing. Once there have been several dates, however, it's up to each couple to figure out an arrangement that's satisfactory to everyone.
Is lab meat kosher? Who cares? But what did I tell you about people waking up to sentiments regarding “the urgent need to find a sustainable solution to food production.”

Your job is to acknowledge their reality — which is critical to maintaining the relationship. As Ken described it to me: "If someone's reality, as they see it, is negated, what motivation do they have to stay in the relationship?"That works the other way, too: if someone else is treating you poorly, that is unacceptable, no matter his or her perspective. It doesn't matter what the intentions are. As Carolyn puts it,
The line belongs right between what is your business and what is his.
His business: How he treats you (and how he consents to be treated).
Your business: How you consent to be treated (and how you treat him).
If you don’t like the way he is treating you, then you articulate how you feel and what changes you would like to see.
If he doesn’t make the changes, then you get to decide whether you want to stay in the relationship as-is or whether you would rather break up. No trying to change someone: Not only is it not your place to decide who and how someone should be, but that also encourages you to imagine what you want instead of seeing what you have.You're responsible for you--for your own happiness--and for respecting the people whom you want in your life. And if the people in your life aren't respecting you and aren't about to start, it's up to you to get out.

I wouldn't want any part of a God who thinks cutting an animal's throat is OK while cruelty-free lab meat isn't.Why does Google hate cats? Just kidding, but here's a conceptually cruelty-free option for challenging the Copenhagen interpretation.

Wait, what?? Deaf people do use language, even if they don't hear it. Apart from that dip into cluelessness, the first paragraph here is worthwhile:
The philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein famously said that, "the limits of my language mean the limits of my world," meaning that we can only understand the world through the language we use, and that if our language does not include words for some particular idea or concept, then that concept cannot exist for us. The relationship between language and thought is complex, which researchers continue to debate. Some, like Wittgenstein, argue that thought is dependent on language.A friend and I were recently having that conversation about foreign languages: I've heard more than one person complain about how another language was so limited in vocabulary and not as expressive as their native language. Specifically, I've heard Russian- and French-speakers say that about English. Um, no, sparky, it's your competence in that language that's limited. But it's an interesting bias.
Neuroscience doesn't explain everything that goes on in your mind.
How am I supposed to practice non-judgment when people give us these reactions to Onion articles?
On a related note, is it shadenfreude if I can't help but be amused at the absurdity of this situation? I'm not taking pleasure in the LR's misfortune, but c'mon, you have to laugh.
