I have questions about this photoshoot that I think I don’t want to know the answers to:

AITA: Suprised husband at airport with kids after being away for almost 4 days.

As a person who also does not like surprises, I would not have appreciated this either. Everyone says he is cheating and whatever, but I truly doubt that. Traveling sucks and he just wanted some time to decompress.

SOME PEOPLE JUST DO NOT LIKE SURPRISES

I know that’s hard for the extroverts to understand but it’s very common. I also do not like surprises because most of the surprises from my childhood and young adulthood were of this type:

1) Surprise! You’re punched in the face.

2) Surprise! It’s an attempted stabbing.

3) Surprise! Your parents stole all your money you’d been saving for years.

4) Surprise! Your bullies are all gathered in the bathroom to kick your ass.

5) Surprise! Your friend died on the drop zone.

6) Surprise! Your parents’ car is getting repossessed and they might also lose their house.

So no, I do not like surprises. At all.

Where does the claim that “Single family zoning” caused the housing crisis come from?

It’s amazing at how catastrophically wrong NIMBY types can be. Motivated reasoning is very destructive to cogntive capability. This is another example, similar to one I found the other day about weight loss, where nearly every contention is 100% wrong.

And that takes real lack of concern with being correct, where just about every single statement is false. I almost admire the commitment to being a dumbass. But that’s Americans for you — completely committed to being hilariously and staunchly, unwaveringly wrong.

My boss is making my life hell because I don’t wanna sleep with her — what do I do?

I was told that women never do this…but it’s probably more common than we think because it’s almost never reported by men (even less often than women do) because no one believes them or men are told they do/should want it.

That men are naught but unthinking sex beasts is a really pernicious, dangerous myth.
