  1.  @parkyayak  It's a problem to stay in the same place. Each generation in my family did worse. I'll be moving to "back where we came from," since my family ultimately died out here.

  3.  @brentnevius2849  Yeah, I get it. I'd be jealous too.

  4.  @brentnevius2849  No one asked you about your 23andMe result.

  5. Because in any event you will need a ton of contracts to secure the family life you want to be acknowledged by the rest of society: wills, powers of attorney for health care, life insurance, health insurance, joint ownership of various kinds of property . . . Plus in some places marriage gives you property rights that are stronger than exist under any other contract, so you are are harder target. It's not about the relationship that the two of you have, it's the two of you against the world. You're both likely to make more money if married. Simple facts. (P. S. I'm not a fan of these facts, either.)

  6.  @brushstroke3733  I heard that Lex Fridman podcast with Michael Malice, too. About the buffet.

  7.  @brushstroke3733  I didn't delete anything. Was I censored? Not that I know. Not sure who that is, Karen S. (Can't see it to spell it.) I still see everything I posted.

  8.  @brushstroke3733  Deny? No, I'm proud of it. Also mentions Helen Reddy and her hit song, "You and Me Against the World," among other things. I guess someone thinks it's not suitable. Welcome to the real world. This is common.

  9.  @brushstroke3733  I got no notice of the deletion. I guess this has to be made a safe space.

  10.  @brushstroke3733  Second para: "You and me against the world" was a romantic trope, and later a hit song by Helen Reddy in the 1970s. The song was usually interpreted as a single mother singing to her daughter about feminine empowerment, but that's not the only way to understand it. It's not morose or embattled, it's spunky and beautiful. Like, "we're so strong together that we can take on anything! We'll be fine." Misconstruing this is baffling, at least to me. If you took it so negatively, perhaps you might ask "the universe" -- or yourself -- why.
