Exercise every day. Eat decent food and get good sleep. Practice mediation. Find artistic hobbies that you enjoy.

I love mine, Chevy bolt. The biggest downside is that you need to plan road trips more carefully with them, and road trips will just take longer. Once you accept that, it’s actually kind of nice to periodically take 20-30 minute breaks while on a trip.

These problems are greatly alleviated if you also have a fossil fuel car. My partner has a gas car, so if we’re just going for a weekend or there aren’t good charging options, we just take the gas car so we don’t have to worry about charging.

Coupled with an excellent therapist, literally saved my life when I was struggling with depression. And my fertility has not been too hampered, if you know what I mean. It can surely have bad side effects for some people, but for others it is life-changing.

Assuming you’re talking about the US. Legally, maybe. Politically, no.

Immune to market fluctuations. Based on years working and salary so if you worked a long time then retired and lived for a long time you may get more money than if you had a bag of cash in the market. It lasts until you die and your spouse can inherit it so it provides stability for you and your partner for the rest of your lives instead of having to guess how many more years you’re going to live and dividing your savings by number of years left. Removes that stress of outliving your guess and running out of cash.

US skateboarder learns about oxidization for the first time.

Downvoters: Google brass patina and tell me what that looks like. Olympic “bronze” medals are made of brass. Brass oxidizes. This is oxidization. It’s not an inferior product or a hallmark of the cheapness if Olympics, it’s a thing that happens to some metals and metal alloys.

You need to provide about 95% more detail if you want anything resembling a useful answer.

Account is 1 hour old. This is the only post. For future reference comrade, most astroturf campaigns use bot accounts that have been randomly posting and commenting to each other to create some semblance of authenticity before they start to try to influence the US election cycle. Go ahead and delete this and try again with some bot accounts that have been cooking a little while longer. You can ask your coworker at the Russian election interference office in the cubicle next to you if you have any questions.

In my book, getting to that point without a plan to meet is a failed interaction. No one wants to text all day. It’s the small talk we do to get to the point where we meet people we’re interested in. It’s a tryout to make sure you’re not a weirdo or jackass. So do a little ice breaker, discuss two to three topics, then suggest exchanging phone numbers so you can meet up sometime. No one wants to text for three days straight. They’re waiting for you to ask for their number.

Get fucked bigot

Sappho and her roommate

Would you rather be stocking shelves or cleaning mystery goo that a customer smeared on your workspace? Are the people working at Walmart other human beings with feelings or objects to be punished in a war against corporations?

With what degree of certainty would you be able to say that the mystery goo you’re cleaning off of your counter has not been spit in or mixed with something really nasty by said vindictive and out of touch customer?

Tell me you’ve never worked customer service without telling me you’ve never worked customer service.

What do they say when you raise these concerns with them in a constructive manner?

Ah I think you meant to post this in c/fuckedupquestions

They get even more detailed information about your buying and spending habits. They can use this information to better manage their stock and sales to maximize profit, and probably more importantly, they can sell your contact information and buying habits to other companies who are in the very lucrative business of aggregating consumer data and monetizing it.

I don’t think you should force friendship until you are ready to. You can co-parent perfectly well with minimal communication until you are ready to communicate more without it hurting a whole lot.

When my last long term relationship ended she wanted to be friends after. I was still really hurting and those random texts and phone calls and invitations to get coffee hurt me and reminded me of what I had lost on a regular basis. I went no contact for about half a year, when the mourning process was over and I had accepted that I was better off without her, it felt okay to be back in contact.

So I disagree with the other posters - protect your heart. Your kids will be okay. Your kids want a parent who is happy. They can’t have that if you’re forcing friendship contact with your ex that is hurting you and prolonging the grieving/healing process. Go minimal contact, take care of your heart, rediscover how to be happy as a single person, then when you’re ready you can talk to your ex more regularly, if you ever want to.

As a child of divorce, what was more important to me was that my parents were happy. Kids can tell when their parents are hurting. And my parents being friendly never felt that important. You can be friendly and nice to each other at pick up and drop off without having to text and have phone calls and get coffee outside of strictly child related interactions. Your kids won’t know if you and your ex are texting regularly. They will know if you are sad.
