@emmma_camp_ A percentage of these boyfriends also just never get their shit together enough to be marriageable. No societal pressure to not fuck around for 10 years deciding what to do with your life.

Not sure how much this messaging factors into when people actually get married at the population level. But I do think the general vibe of "getting married in your 20s is for conservatives and dumb people" pushes some women with serious boyfriends to delay a wedding. And the boyfriends usually have no problem with that.

I do think there is a sense in left-leaning, educated circles that a woman getting married "early" is somehow anti-feminist.
I've gotten a handful of weird, passive-aggressive comments about how getting married at 24 would ruin my life/suggests I'm a religious nutjob. My husband is the same age as me and never got any such pushback.

I’m curious about the woman-centric framing of all this social con messaging, is it the case that lots of twentysomething women are receiving marriage proposals from eligible men and turning them down? What’s the leverage point here?

@ronmortgageguy Hey Ron whats happening on the commercial side, I renew in 2027 and was prayin’ for rates to go down
English
Another 10% drop in house prices could easily occur in BC & Ontario if Mortgage Rates keep Buyers on the sidelines
Rising Mortgage Rates are NEVER a good reason to rush to buy don't feel pressured because of an expiring rate hold
A lower house price is forever
Rates can change

If Mortgage Rates Keep Rising What Happens To The Canadian Housing Market?
We have seen some Fixed Mortgage Rates rise nearly 20% since the Middle East War began: depends on which Bank & length of term
Important: the War could end Friday if TACO Trump declares victory

10 years ago scientists published the genome of the colugo, solving the mystery of where it sat on the family tree.
DNA suggested they are the sister lineage of the primates - meaning they are more closely related to our group than any other group…
Remember, all life (that we know of) is related.
American Museum of Natural History@AMNH
The Sunda flying lemur can't fly & isn't a lemur. This tree-dweller, which glides through the air using a skin membrane between its neck and limbs, was once thought to be related to primates or bats. Scientists now place it on its own branch of the evolutionary tree.

Age gap discourse but its about the parents of your kids friends
I am under 30 and we just had a playdate and the dad is in his mid 50’s. Our kids who are friends are both 5. This is crazy to me

She cannot make him respect her in how he conducts himself but he can be humbled by knowing even if only in small tremors of humiliating recognition that his entire life is subsidized by her revealing whatever she wants about him whenever she feels like.

The longest tail on the Lindy West discourse — and it’s so perfect I almost wonder if this was actually the intention all along — is that her husband will be defined by his portrayal in that book for the rest of his life. 50 years from now it will be the headline of his obituary

My zoomer girlfriend is forcing me to wear a red flannel shirt all day and eat avocado toast and grow an ironic ill fitting beard style, she calls me a "millennial piggy" and when I complain she says "oh that's so sad why don't you listen to some sad music on your turntable record player then". She throws bottles of craft beer at me and laughs

The Theroux documentary shows how the men of the Manosphere want to be alpha and victim, patriarch and bachelor, wealthy and jobless. They want to "have it all."
They want, in other words, to be a girlboss.

I wrote about the weakest attempted MeToo-ing in recent history for @WSJFreeEx
It's not 'grooming' for two 20-somethings to go on a few dates. And it is neither empowering nor particularly feminist to view women as perpetual schoolgirls, unable to consent to any romantic relationship that has a whiff of power imbalance.

toronto startup accelerators are basically payday loansharks in suits
the basic version is:
"hey we offer you 10,000 CAD (which is 15 american dollars) for 20% of your company if you've shown 50M arr for at least 10 years"
oh btw no need for ARR if you're from a native tribe

@annakhachiyan You guys are both right. Anorexia is like AGP and HSTS, as in there are a couple of subtypes. One is about running from adulthood/the male gaze/being a perpetual patient. Another is wanting to look hot, run amok.

Ok lol sorry bro I really liked your anorexia thread and thought it was refreshingly honest

@Romy_Holland The hardest isn’t them enjoying nice things its spending lavishly (like $1000 a week at whole foods) on stuff the are indifferent to (food goes bad before they eat it) while I am out here holding on for dear life with my kid in materially worse circumstances than I grew up with.
English
i don’t feel like my parents owe me any inheritance and would be happy for them if they had fun spending all of their retirement savings.
but i also feel really good about the prospect of leaving my own children money that would make their lives easier, and thru this lens the boomer behavior of taking cruises while your kids are struggling to afford daycare and houses and stuff seems strange.
like maybe when my baby is grown up i’ll feel differently, but i doubt it? i find myself wanting to promise him that as long as i live i want to help him and be there for him.
