This may be true for married couples who started dating when they were teenagers. Since you brought it up, I'd be curious to see what proportion of the couples in the study fall into that category. I have a hunch that it's a pretty small percentage, though.

While it's true that there is some stigma against (e.g.) a college freshman or sophomore dating someone who's still in high school, I don't think many people in their right mind would object to a 2-, 3- or even 4-year age gap once both partners are at least 20.

EDIT to add: I don't think 17-year-olds being afraid to date 15-year-olds even registers on the top ten reasons "why people are increasingly lonely." Your take comes across as very high school-centric.

"And to be a man and then vote for a woman just because she’s a woman is either childish — that person has mommy issues — or they are just trying to be accepted by other women,” Watters said. “I heard the scientists say the other day that when a man votes for a woman, he actually transitions into a woman.”

They didn't say "sell," they said "give."

Should Ruben vet the entire Lemmyverse while he's at it so he can "dictate what appears in his product?"

As a solo developer with limited resources, one has four choices:

• Choose an existing ad network and do the best you can within its content preferences,

• Put a paywall on your app's features and hope enough people will actually buy it,

• Work for free, sacrificing your own livelihood, or

• Don't develop the app.

Clearly they all involve a compromise of one form or another, and I trust that Ruben put a lot of thought into the decision.

Fuckin' tragic. Not the cancellation; the expansion was never going to be more than a soulless cash grab anyways. I mean the takeover (read: theft) of ZA/UM in the first place. I get depressed every time I think about it.

 

The sauce is a blend of refried beans and chunky salsa. The cheese is a mix of Mexican-style shredded cheese and crumbled queso fresco. Topped with fresh cilantro and lightly-crushed nacho cheese Doritos after baking.

Inspired by my local Casey's convenience store.

Why are dragonborn excluded from the "many colors" section of the diagram? They have a wider variety of colors than goblins or tieflings. This is a very poor Venn diagram.

Their small, fine scales are usually brass or bronze in color, sometimes ranging to scarlet, rust, gold, or copper-green. ... The blood of a particular type of dragon runs very strong through some dragonborn clans. These dragonborn often boast scales that more closely match those of their dragon ancestor—bright red, green, blue, or white, lustrous black, or gleaming metallic gold, silver, brass, copper, or bronze.

Cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, red onion, basil, balsamic vinegar. It was thick and messy enough to eat with a fork and knife, but damn it was delicious.

Not my best example of a pizza. It started out as "caprese salad and focaccia" and I figured why not combine them. It was too tasty not to share.
