I don’t think it’s a bad thing, and I wouldn’t call it a “rite of passage.”

It seems like our culture has historically put a lot of emphasis on relationships. For example, one of my older friends (Gen X) used to be treated like he was broken or pitiful because he was single into his thirties. There has been a cultural shift toward the acceptability of singleness, which is much healthier in my opinion.

And on an anecdotal level, I think people are smart to wait until they’re older. I made a lot of regrettable mistakes in my younger relationships that I would not have made had I waited a bit. Not saying that nobody should have relationships when they’re young, but no one should be pressured into it.

For me, this show is kinda like McDonald’s ice cream. It’s barely able to be called what it’s trying to be, and it’s not that great, but I’m gonna eat it either way.

“Free” market

Can I add an addendum to this?

In the event of a third impeachment, the Supreme Court must choose its surliest member to hold a press conference wherein they squat down and yell, “yerrrrr OUT!” like a disgruntled umpire.

It’s a good idea to change those periodically.
