A thousand times yes. My (m) partner (nonbinary) was, for years, in a disaster of a relationship where, among other issues, they felt trapped into cooking dinner every night. They had made a deal with their girlfriend that they would cook and she would clean up. She stopped cleaning up consistently. However, my partner is a stubborn person who has trouble ending their own side of a deal even if the other person breaks their part.

I have therefore resolved never, ever to ask them to cook, or even ask questions about what they’re having for dinner, to avoid this becoming a problem in our relationship.

However, they actually love cooking. We’re both autistic, and cooking is one of the things that calms their brain.

They offer me dinner almost every night. I’m eating good, nutritious food most of the time now. I’m losing weight (which I need to do).

I do offer to cook or order delivery if they are particularly exhausted, and I have made it quite clear that I’m happy to be asked to do so, since I never had that problem.

It’s working great. If our relationship goes bad, at least it won’t be for that reason. Doing well so far, almost a year in.

Quite right, which is why I referred to a class, rather than to individuals.

They’re not incompetent. They’re doing exactly what they’re paid to do. They are liars, frauds, and traitors, but they are paid to do so by the Epstein class.

Oh nooooooo

It really is a coincidence. The moon is slowly moving further out in its orbit, so in a few dozen million years it won’t be eclipsing properly any more. We live at a time when it’s just the right size.

“Yes, even though he killed a lot of British people and was the enemy of history’s greatest monster Winston Churchill, Hitler was still a very bad man because of… other stuff… and is really quite evil in the eyes of most Westerners. And especially Aunt Rachel who he personally tried to put in an oven.”

That must have been a fun pamphlet to write.

The Americans killed a chimp.

Nice trolling I guess, you got me twice! Don’t know what the point of that is exactly.

Do you think Margaret Hamilton was a Nazi? Korolev? Goddard? Tsiolkovsky?

Read up on the actual history.

Or kraft cheese singles.

The ones who beat the US at every part of the space race until the moon landing? Those Soviets?

I got hella freckles mate. I am doomed.

It’s also a sex thing!

What the fuck? If I was the manager I’d pay this guy twice. That’s exactly the experience I want if I go to a place named after that specific part of the movie.

What do I do if I want to reach a high area in my roof, like ten feet above me? Hose extensions are floppy.

How did you write this? Are you a wizard?

“That depends. Is the existence of this form going to be known to my family? If so, yep, totally safe.”

• my partner, not me

That’s okay, the machine wants you.
