Honestly I wouldn’t know, I live in Los Angeles and am just going off things I’ve seen in the past about ice fishing shacks in like Minnesota and Canada. Meanwhile I’ve got flowers blooming in my garden on plants that have had enough water for the first time in their lives.

It’s January, you should be able to drive a truck on the ice. Climate change

Condoms are cool, all the ladies love a man who uses condoms.

It sounds like fun but having gone through it for a couple of years, it’s not. There’s times of abstinence and times when it’s all about impregnation, not spontaneity or fun. She’s constantly watching her cycle, and every period is extra depressing. And that’s not counting any infertility treatments like hormones fucking with emotions. Our now-adult offspring are amazing and I’m glad we did it, but it wasn’t just “fuck a lot.”

Look into freezing sperm now while you’re young and it’s squirmy and spermy and healthy. Then you can get the snip (or the no-snip method) and when you do want kids you won’t be ruining your sex life with scheduled sessions. She can get inseminated when the ultrasound shows an ovum is waiting and it’ll have a better chance of conception. Go in with her if you can and she’s comfortable with that. Just as you will for the birth.

The woman should be ABLE and ALLOWED to protect herself against pregnancy, yes, but the responsibility isn’t all hers. Every unwanted pregnancy starts with sperm. Her ovum was just sitting there, innocently drifting down the fallopian tube, staying inside her body.

Any man who doesn’t accept his full responsibility for preventing pregnancy, or for the consequences of a pregnancy occurring, is a shit.

Female-centered methods that are invasive like IUDs or rely on hormones like the Pill have common side effects like intense pain, personality changes, increased stroke and heart attack risk. The only reason women tolerate them is because the consequences of pregnancy are higher for them. The side effects of vasectomy are temporary pain and bruising, and sperm granuloma. Sperm quality diminishes quite slowly and sperm can be frozen beforehand, so it’s still possible to father a wanted child.

You could get a vasectomy…

Oh I love that idea!

It’s usually dulce de leche (caramel) but sometimes coconut milk. There’s a bakery in my area that does Cinco de Leche as a special for Cinco de Mayo. They also do a Mango tres leches. Yes, I’m going to go check them out this weekend…

Fiege, Waldron, are you listening? You need this scene.

Although to be fair the Waffle House staff would more likely be on the same side as the Avengers. Save their asses with a chair to Thanos’ head or something.

What about poverty-stricken big tiddy goth birbs? According to the tiny words, they’re safe.

Whose mom, red sweater kid’s? Oh, so it’s his own imaginary friend that he doesn’t get along with. And she’s crying because… her child is insane? Or because he’s mean… Okay.

Did he just banish the green-shirted kid’s blue-shirted imaginary friend?

Ah, I can see this! Gonna try it.

Sauteed sliced fennel would have a similar bite and sweetness, but with that mild licorice aroma and without the onioniness. In a pasta sauce where dried fennel seed would be normal anyway, it seems pretty genius to me. I’m going to pick some up and try it next time I get to the grocery store.

I don’t mind the flavor but I hate that I’m an onion/garlic sweater. For days after eating garlic or most onions, I stink so badly no perfume or deodorant or antiperspirant can control it. As a girl growing up, it was a real problem, and once I was old enough to do my own cooking I started leaving them out, or using sweet onions when they were too important to exclude.

I’m also capsaicin-sensitive, like major ass-bleeding bad, so I minimize spicy peppers and use bell peppers plus black pepper/wasabi/horseradish/ginger for spice. If it’s not my cooking I get “Mild” and do the best I can with it.

People are sardined like this because so little land and money are allocated towards housing them and none for providing essential services there. Then the same people who denied the funding and land permits complain about how difficult it is to keep gangs from running them.

A stale bagel is like granite. When a NYC builder wants to skimp on construction costs, they lay the foundation on a mixture of cement, used coffee cups and stale bagels.
