It looks like this person's phone battery died so they skipped the battery altogether - instead they wired a charger directly to the phone, eliminating the need for the battery.

alpha bravo charlie delta echo foxtrot etc. it's SO HELPFUL when talking on the phone. I learned them all because no one could figure out my name.

How funny! That's how I think of the leftists. I can't even think of the name of the candidate that they got onto my ballot.

how do I add my instance? the "add instance" link just shows data, it doesn't offer any services.

In-person friends are better than a spouse because it's expected to take breaks from time to time. Go travel, or hunker down. Then reconnect with them later. With a spouse you're not allowed to do that, and it erodes the value of the relationship.

To make in-person friends, I go to public places where I'm comfortable, and act respectfully.

I've had five or six long term partners and they've all turned into selfish, entitled children after the honeymoon phase ended. I'm telling you, it's overrated.

You did escape it.

I don't know any long-term couples who have not been cheated on. Straight people especially.

As a culture we are expected to find a partner, and feel like failures if we don't.

Because people are fucking idiots.

As a culture we used to expect angry people to use leeches to remove blood, or perform exorcisms on people that were mentally ill.

Fuck those expectations. Cultural attitudes can be wrong.

You didn't fail, you avoided anguish. Being single is far, far better than being stuck with someone because you felt like you had to.

i don't mind debate or dissent. politeness is key. without it there's no discourse, and no reason to continue membership.
