re: What do modern women bring to a relationships with men?

Let’s say like many of them nowadays she is more into her job than being domestic. But you don’t really need her income to get by or do well.
Seems like as a couple they would be plush enough with money to pay some one to do "domestic" stuff, like a lot of the couples I know.

besides sex and being “supportive”
what exactly do you want on the table?
If a supportive partner with a good job isn't what you want, there's really nothing wrong with just choosing to be single until you find the diamond in the rough that does whatever domestic stuff you like.

Who actually likes these generic corporate logos for sports teams?
They're not even good for the random Marriott affiliate hotel and conference center the designers stole the ideas from.
If a sports logo doesn’t meet the basic criteria of “fun” it’s failed right away.

I seemingly do this all the time. I just research a place like crazy and determine in my mind if I could/would live there. I’ve done some totally random places like the latest is Nebraska.
Technically you could live anywhere but would you like living there is the question.
Yes, actually. Like before going to sleep and just looking at houses on Zillow in a totally random place I'm likely never going to even pass through. Then google maps and looking at shops, restaurants and things to do around it.

I really like Osmo TopOil. Their PolyX Oil is really great for any non-food wood surfaces too.

re: AR Gov. Huckabee Sanders signs bill into law exempting NIL dollars from state income taxes

Benefits how?
All I'm saying is simply:
Bills like this are to give Arkansas recruiting/maintaining rosters a boost by making Arkansas NIL $ stretch farther than Missouri NIL $.
If Arkansas gets an athlete in competition with Missouri using less total NIL expenditure that mainly helps:
1) Arkansas athletics
2) Arkansas boosters writing the checks to NIL collectives
3) Some players may benefit but this will 100% be used in negotiating with agents: "your client would be better put to accept the 500k offer from Arkansas than the 600K offer from Missouri due to tax differences"

So the kid getting the money isnt benefiting?
We all know the logic is to give teams in the states passing these laws a recruiting advantage.
If a player takes 500K to play at Arkansas instead of 600K to play at Missouri because of the tax difference, who benefits?
The person writing the 500K instead of 600k NIL checks.

It only benefits one demographic.
The demographic it benefits is the rich people paying the NIL.
It's to make their million dollar contribution go farther than rich person in state without this absurd law.

Sure it's less about even luring the athletes as stretching the dollars of the super rich people paying the absurd NIL sums.
Just example 1 million of politicians talking about helping everyday folks but the actual money trail saying the opposite.

Sure there are lots of "2 Guys and a Van" type options you can find on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist.
I get them occasionally where I live to move record collections.

That’s everything you need to know about our shitty food. You can’t help but get fat here and you can’t get fat if you try in Europe. We are poisoning ourselves.
Not everyone likes to hear it but it's 100% true.
It's not just high fructose corn syrup but preservatives and additives etc etc . . .
I lived in Italy for 8 years. When I arrived, it was shocking coming from the US that almost no one under 60 or so was overweight.
However, when I was there, they relaxed--under Berlusconi-- a lot of restrictions for processed foods and large discount supermarkets popped up in every working class neighborhood. Full of stuff that had never been common (or cheap) there from frozen fried chicken cutlets to preservative filled sandwich meats, cheeses, mayos, jellies, breads etc. . .
It was honestly within a year that you started to notice a lot of overweight kids that had never existed there.

Yeah or just building a 500k house and investing the other 13.5 million into making the small towns around it a little better.

This combined with Doge firing all of the federal workers who supervise the quality of imports makes for an extremely dangerous situation.
I guess China isn't bending the knee.
From the Reuters news article, it's all exports and not just to USA.
But, yeah, they're not bending the knee in the least.
Seem to basically be saying "if a company in your country wants them, you can deal with supervisory expenses"

The problem is who decides what is deranged or psychotic and then the slippery slope of government getting involved with curtailing freedom to dictate "correct" choices.
I personally think religions like Jehovah's Witnesses are pretty deranged and psychotic with the way they indoctrinate their children and threaten total shunning.
However, I'm not sure what to do about it aside from treat them by the golden rule and maybe give my opinion if asked since I don't want to risk creating a dictatorship that chooses a correct religion.

What about those that shut down 10-15 minutes before posted hours? Happens mostly with restaurants.
I've always thought it's pretty rude to a go to a sit down restaurant 15 minutes before the posted closing time. That's just demanding they stay at least 30 minutes later for you since common sense dictates you're not going to be done in 15 minutes.
The annoying restaurant behavior are those that start vacuuming and spraying bleach while you're eating a full hour before they close.
