If I entered a house made of human flesh, I'm sure the smell alone would make me gag.
Are you sure? It's rotting flesh that smells gross. If the building material isn't rotting, would it smell bad? Or what if it were dehydrated to be able to last a long time, like an unseasoned jerky? Or maybe even tanned, like leather?
A million (bleep)ing diamonds!
as it's inverse to what they advertise for.
Probably why they can charge the price structure they do, maximizing their profit for the most common use case they see.
The channel it appears on is often pretty far removed from the actual production company that produced it, and the actual creative team (writers, directors, showrunner, other producers).
Michael Schur learned how to produce a TV show from working on The Office (US) on NBC, and went on to be showrunner for Parks and Rec (NBC), Brooklyn Nine Nine (aired on Fox on most of its run), The Good Place (NBC), and Man on the Inside (Netflix).
Bill Lawrence was showrunner for Spin City (ABC), Scrubs (NBC), Cougar Town (ABC), Ted Lasso (Apple), Shrinking (Apple), and Bad Monkey (Apple).
Dan Harmon was showrunner for Community (NBC), Rick and Morty (Adult Swim), Strange Planet (Apple), and Krapopolis (Fox).
In each of these, you can see the continuity and similarities in production process and style, even if they're on different channels.
Look to producers: creator, showrunner, certain executive producers with creative roles, casting director (for example, I'll give anything a chance if it was cast by Allison Jones), with her track record), etc.
The actual network or streaming service it airs on is almost meaningless.
I once dated someone with an extensive oral history.
Prior to the 1960s, people consumed relatively little fructose compared with today’s numbers. A century ago, an average person consumed just 5-10 pounds of fructose per year. To put it in familiar terms, that is roughly equal to the weight of a gallon of milk. In the 21st century, that number has increased to be as high as the equivalent of 15 gallons of milk.
Who chose these units for this article?
From a Tumblr post that has been reposted a few times (in fact, my link is to the earliest repost I could find, as I think the original is long gone):
The sun is probably the closest thing we’ll ever have to a true Eldritch Abomination. Hear me out here-
- Older than recorded history; was here longer than any of us and will be here long after we leave. Has a finite beginning and end but is still incomprehensibly ancient
- Burns itself into your vision instantly and can blind you if you look for too long
- Further prolonged exposure can cause cancerous growths
- Non-humanoid shape floating through space; colossal flaming tentacles angrily lash out on occasion
- Sort of just appeared one day and is now surrounded by the corpses of its stillborn children
- People used to sacrifice other people to appease it
- Pretty sure it screams at us sometimes
There are fewer than 4 billion men currently alive.
Yes, and what percentage are everything that you expect a man to be? There are plenty of men who are smart but not protective, hard working but not high earning, etc.
If your whole definition of a successful man is based on whether a woman will stay with them long term, then first, I'd point out that's a stupid definition, and second, even if we were to use that definitions there are plenty of ways that marriages fall apart. A man who doesn't change diapers or won't clean up after himself is at risk of getting left, no matter how much money he has. Bad communicators are also at risk. Infidelity destroys marriages. So does violence or angry outbursts. These are pretty far removed from what you're talking about, and men who fall for believing in these rigid gender roles are exactly the type of people who find themselves receiving divorce papers. Plenty of high earning divorced boomer men out there, and there are plenty of happily married men who depend on their wives' incomes.
Feminism since the 1970s has been advocating for financial independence for women so that they can leave someone regardless of how much they earn.
And more fundamentally, if the sole sign of manhood is being able to stay in a long relationship, then there are a lot of different ways to achieve that. Being authentic to oneself is an important way to have meaningful relationships with friends and families and spouses, and is an important foundation for a successful marriage, too.
There are, like, literally billions of men who don't fit this archetype you're describing. Many of them are beloved and idolized by society. Some are artists, musicians, dancers, writers. Lots are stoners or slackers. Some are clergy or philosophers or historians, and not always drawing steady income. And they can be surrounded by loved ones.
Go be yourself and stop caring about what some narrow slice of society expects.
And this study, that this article is about, specifically shows that believing this nonsense is correlated with suicide. That's why it's actually dangerous to try to convince people of this falsehood.
Is this a thing people do? When I was in my 20's I did the opposite, jerking off before dates so that I'd last longer later on.
Whoa that slur will get you shadow banned from some social media sites
