I am curious, does it make you feel anxious (the exclusive def)?

no. but it sometimes makes me a little mad (when others do it). sometimes makes me a little disappointed (when a survey won't let me not do it).

Remember the farmer who put an outhouse on a trailed and pulled it in a Nebraska parade. He put a sign on it saying that outhouse was the Obama Library. Wow them swamp DC rats went ballistic. They tried to ruin the farmer, vindictive bastards

Being butthurt over a show you don't even watch makes you look so foolish.

Meltdown complete. Over a TV show, truly sad.

I just want you to be happy and wish your biggest relationship in life wasn't with a bottle.

ok Wacky. When you sleep it off by the morning just know that this was all caused by a TV show.

i don't want to use one of my free monthly nyt articles on this. let's just assume i prolly agree with it in principle but think they exaggerate the magnitude of the problem.

Saw that yesterday. I don't agree with everything Peterson says, but I think that article (particularly the "forced monogamy quote) is pretty unfair.

I think his message, in general, is good.

sys · « **Reply #574 on:** May 20, 2018, 12:45:30 AM »

i wish someone would define "forced monogamy" (maybe peterson or someone does, somewhere, but i haven't seen it defined in media coverage).

i see people acting like it's some sort of weird incel cult thing, but isn't what we have a form of forced monogamy? polygamous marriage is explicitly illegal. there are tons of legal and societal incentives to marry, cultural norms promote lifelong monogamy, etc.
