I was 21 at the time; I hear that this is a bit young to get that kind of procedure as my eyes may still change rapidly, but I went to a reputable doctor who ran various tests before concluding that I was a candidate, and luckily my eyesigh

This is exactly what I'm talking about - that we consider a message about organising/unionising to be so controversial at all. To me that is some dystopian level weird.

Thanks for the input, maybe it's time to budget for that Fenix after all...

It feels weird for me to read comments in this thread debating about and assuming a simple note about unionization or organization by an employee whose job it was to do exactly this kind of thing is "not in good faith" or a "

I thought the wrist-based heart rate monitoring techniques were very flawed and inaccurate, and were not useful if you want exact heart rate data (but could be used for relative comparisons over time for example). This is why I've stuc

My blog is pretty off-beat (largely about snails but also some general life stuff), clean-ish, and self-hosted, so I hope you'll forgive the self-plug: http://liza.io

To me it seems like everybody talks about it. I've lived in the US, Australia, and now Sweden, and almost everyone seems to have some sort of awareness of and opinion on this issue.

I am thankful for my family having gotten the opportunity to move to the US from a post-Soviet country when I was young.

I love my Kindle Voyager, but I probably wouldn't use it for any books that are heavy on graphs or mathematical notation-type graphics. The formatting can get a bit weird, and sometimes it's just too small to properly fit what it

I wonder if you've ever tried remote therapy video apps or phone calls, or if you do exclusively 1-on-1 in-person sessions? I don't really have any particular acute problem to go to a therapist with, but am more curious just to ha

I would love to see some sources for your claim that "the view that a successful relationship necessarily involves children is still quite current" and that "it is the overwhelming consensus." Anecdotally, in my environm

Luckily old views of Catholic or any other kind of marriage do not dictate the definition of a successful relationship in the modern age.

Thanks for sharing. Best of luck with your plans and your future move. You're right that discussing this properly is key - I'm not totally against moving in together one day. I'd just really like for it to be a conscious choi

This is really interesting; if you don't mind me asking, how long have you been together? One point of tension that I can imagine if I keep going with this kind of dynamic long term is as follows: We will likely want to spend some long

Some do, but children aren't a requirement for a successful relationship. Regardless, my comment already mentions that "this becomes more complicated if the couple chooses to have children"

The first words in my comment were "aside from the financial aspect" and I pointed out that this becomes more complicated if the couple intends to have children.
