I think there must be a high degree of variability between married couples.
The physical aspects of our marriage are very important. I don't know that we'd have been married if the sex wasn't there.

Not the first migrant accommodation to burn in Ireland. Seems to be a safety hazard to house refugees in such flammable accommodation.

your negative judgments of other people must be reflective of too much self-criticism
I struggle with this. I have to make a conscious effort to be more forgiving of myself and others.
Other 'interventions' that have helped spending more time in meat-space with other people (church, civic-organizations like Rotary or Lions club, youth athletics with my children). Technological controls that restrict or limit my access to the internet.
I took SSRI for about 18 months, around 7 years ago. They reduced / blunted all my emotional response and tanked my libido.

Do you think any of the love for Israel in either party is driven by fear?
Fear that if they aren't seen to love Isreal sufficiently the kompromat will be deployed against them and they will be replaced with someone more amenable.

Not a reasonable argument.

That seems to be the argument that carried the day, if you believe the verdict was based in reason.
I don't find the argument reasonable.

Ever wanted to learn to fly? Before I was married and had children I got my private license, it's easy to spend money on expensive hobbies. 12 weeks of skiing in Austria with a private instructor / guide. There are lots of skills where time with an instructor can really speed mastery.
In my early 20's I wasn't meeting woman that seemed interested in marriage. ~26 I started telling women / everyone I wanted to be married before I was 30. I was married at 29 with 8 months to spare.

Chauvin should get less time. Technique was current per MPD manual, also Floyd was resisting, at the beginning if not the end.

Would more visas for doctors help if they're competing for the same limited number of residencies? I'm married to an IMG with ECFMG certification but she didn't match not even an interview.

Conservatives don't hold a monopoly on supporting "our greatest ally" this is the Uniparty at work.
At my day job as a very small cog in the military industrial complex machine we're not permitted to use hardware or software from our greatest ally for security reasons.

If there aren't, there may be soon. Pictures of Greta loading cattle cars or ovens can join the tasteful / erotic / disturbing pictures of her on a certain anonymous image board.

Would you anticipate the Free Heroin Clinc accepting clients who are not in treatment or only accepting clients for whom other treatments had failed? Is there a path to being opioid free in these treatment plans?

Thank you. That's charitable.
I was hoping slightly that someone would respond with Kipling's Dane-geld.
Is free heroin for onsite consumption substantially different from methadone for onsite consumption? Is this a particularly methadone resistant cohort?

Exactly now the Danes come take our stocks and treasure by force while doing considerable damage. If we paid them the damage could be avoided.

I've had similar thoughts about my own elementary school teachers vs my childrens. Smart women do have more options now. Classrooms are different now, the expectations of the experience are different. I think this encourages the moronic.

Is the complaint about throwing blame or understanding the nature of the problem?
The 'honest men' losing in post-modern societies are frequently losing because they listen to what women say, rather than watching what women do, as @The_Nybbler suggests.
The current regime of sexual promiscuity was demanded by women a generation ago. Blaming 'society' for the predictably poor outcomes removes the agency of all the people who fought for the current regime. I understand that many may be unhappy with the result, but something something about a fence.
@CanIHaveASong does not address the cohorts in our post modern societies that still marry and reproduce despite men being mean to women on the internet. Many of these cohorts rejected most of the sexual / cultural revolution at least in aspiration if not practice. Many of the most fertile women in America have rejected telephones.
Many of the women who are most unhappy about 'men these days' seem to be the least likely to advocate for a return to traditional marriage and religiosity.

Does school suck now? Why does it suck? Has it always sucked? Is it like this everywhere?
In 4th grade in the '80's at a public school in Sacramento, CA we had a divided start, homework 4 days a week, tilt top desks with integrated swivel chairs in rows. Good posture was encouraged by being mandatory. In classroom work was handwritten, questions were copied from the book. Math was half the problems in class half at home, any incorrect answers were expected to be corrected and resubmitted. In class there were many opportunities for reading aloud. We're were expected to have memorized multiplication tables to 12 x 12. We read 'Brighty of the Grand Canyon', I had reading in the afternoon, I don't know what the kids in the morning read. Lynne Reid Banks came to the school for Author Day, there was an assembly in the MP room.
I had poor penmenship and failed to apply myself, but there seemed to be more rigor. I wouldn't have guessed 4th grade was so different now. 4th grade was also the year you could work in the cafeteria, I liked working milk sales.
I've found with my children I have to demand they supply more effort and often apply considerable pressure to see improvement in the production of their work, especially in a non-preferred subject. Many of the traditional pressures of written corrections, writing lines, poor grades, deficiency notices, summer school, repeating the year have been eschewed in favor of what? The expected standard seems low, the quality of work produced by my recent 4th grader is below the quality of 4th grade @AvocadoPanic, but the school isn't really demanding excellence.
I've 5th, 3rd, 1st and pre-k. Our district is in the top 10% in Massachusetts.
Are there any old teachers here, did you complain in the 80's about children in the 40's having better penmenship?
Perusing /r/neoliberal tells me it's not a fit for me, though I might use it as a slur. Though it seems many willingly apply it to themselves.
