I can't speak for your situation, but I do know of too many examples of marriages "just because" that made both partners completely miserable for decades. And their disgust at each other definitely was not good for the kid to grow up around.
If she's someone you could see spending your life with, just not right now, then it's worth considering. But either way, I would advise against agreeing to a shotgun wedding and leave that decision between you and her.
Sounds like her parents are trying to force you into a shotgun wedding.
Ultimately, it's up to you if you want to go into a marriage that is very much going to be unhappy (I know currently and grew up around lots of terible pregnancy / stay together for the kids marriages) Personally, I'd just setup child support arrangements and discuss with her what role, if any, I would have in the child's life and politely, but firmly, tell her parents to fuck off (you're both adults).
Edit: And if she doesn't want to have a baby, I would also support and assist with that.
He's got so many good movies under his belt, but if you haven't watched Sneakers, I highly recommend it. Probably my favorite movie of his.
I never do Halloween costumes myself, but last year my dog went as "Doctor Pepper" (little white lab coat + children's toy stethoscope + her name is Pepper).
If I was a cartoonist....
I'd draw European countries smugly eating popcorn and watching the US while authoritarianism, dressed as a house robber, sneaks in behind them and starts taking their stuff. Maybe with the caption that says "I'm so glad that never has and never will happen here!".
The rise in authoritarianism isn't exclusive to the US. So I recommend, instead of shitting all over the US at every opportunity, they apply some of that effort to keeping that from happening at home.
I have "hoarder" in my blood, and every day is a struggle to just throw things away and fight the urge of "that might be useful one day".
How do you all feel about Reuters, Associated Press, National Public Radio and BBC
Recommend them all. They're pretty unbiased and highly credible. I'm also a monthly donor to NPR :)
I tend to just stick to the wire services (Reuters, AP) and fill in with NPR/BBC and some local news stations that aren't owned by Sinclair. I tend to avoid any and all that have clear bias or try to appeal to emotion. I just want the verified facts.
For topics related to technology and privacy, TechDirt is pretty solid. They don't pull punches and are very well researched.
I'll edit this comment if I think of any more specific ones.
We need people that will safeguard certain lines that may not be crossed.
Exactly.
"We finally won."
What did it cost?
"Our humanity"
If people are so willing to cross those lines, what are we even doing or trying to uphold?
I do both, but mostly the tea is just to stretch out the coffee supply. e.g. Instead of making a second up of coffee, I'll make tea instead.
Wright wrote in the letter that the purpose of the group and its report was "to catalyze scientific and public debate" and that the result "exceeded my expectations." Wright concluded that with that goal met the CWG could now be dissolved.
So, basically, "Mission Accomplished". For a second there, I almost allowed myself to think some moment of enlightenment had occurred.
Every time I grab it from the cabinet lol.
Absolutely! I still laugh at that even knowing what's coming.
