Oh no no no. This is setting up to pay with lives.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he believed bringing back compulsory service across the UK would help foster the “national spirit” that emerged during the pandemic.
Do you hear how that sounds? Or do you intend how that sounds?
I hope you’re joking. The privacy of how one votes is foundational. It’s how you feel safe voting against the government in a democracy. The perceived lack of it has been a conservative lying point fighting mail in ballots. This is a worse example. Far worse.
First born nipper of seven weeks is well for which I count my blessings. Fresh challenges for daddy though: I don’t have the emotional and physical comfort from my girlfriend that I had become accustomed to. Obviously, she is looking after a baby for everything she’s worth, with me right behind her. We’re breastfeeding....
This is hindsight for me, not having understood this well enough at the time, but it takes a lot of time. I don’t think many of us fathers understand enough the compounded physical and mental tolls of gestation, birth, and the new lifestyle sans rest. She’s likely absolutely, existentially, exhausted.
It’s perhaps not that we are no longer a priority, but can’t be the first priority. We know that. You must already feel that you aren’t even your own number one priority.

Give and take on time away, which may look selfish but couples alone time just is fucking hard as new parents.
Trick is to simmer it good with things like helping, innuendo, etc. And last but very much not least, she probably feels like the most unattractive person on the planet and it’s manifesting in ways easily interpreted as avoiding you. But it’s not wanting to disgust you. I know, I know.

It’s dystopian in a way, to use “gratuity” on your little slip of paper and your LCD screen with its convenient calculations while this practice is even legal anymore let alone publicly acceptable. Which it still seems to be - record screech - just kidding it’s guilt.
You call free market I call subsidy. False profitability in the name of jobs paid for by passing the majority of the wage onto the consumer.
Yeah, now that someone also saw it, I’ll add that it’s idea not so much execution.
But I pulled back because it did actually appear kerned on my somewhat stoned look, leading me to not want to offend someone out there who at least used more tools than squish.
