Why does everyone in straight society act like closed relationships are normal and have to make an exception for poly relationships? That's so weird.
Also I'm not in an open relationship if you think open relationship means what I think it means.

I ask my SOs that kind of question. We're bi polyamorous sluts.
"Yeah! Are you gonna ask her out or nah?"
Oh, well then I guess he's just not very good
I tried to read A Game Of Thrones and it was so boring. It didn't stay with one character long enough for me to get invested in their story. Too many characters, and not enough writing skill to pull that number off.
I think George should have written a few simpler novels to practice good writing before he went and did a big project like this.
Who told you Trump has NPD? If it was some rando joe schmoe, they're not qualified to make that judgement because they're not an expert. And if it was a qualified psychiatrist, they were breaking the APA's rules. The APA forbids psychiatrists from diagnosing celebrities with mental disorders. It's called the Goldwater rule. You can't just do psychiatry at random people on the street, celebrity or no celebrity. You have to talk to a patient before you can diagnose them. And if a psychiatrist has spoken to Trump, then doctor patient confidentiality applies and revealing a diagnosis would be a massive breach of professional ethics.
This is even from the Wikipedia article on the Goldwater rule:
In 2016 and 2017, a number of psychiatrists and clinical psychologists faced criticism for violating the Goldwater rule, as they claimed that Donald Trump displayed "an assortment of personality problems, including grandiosity, a lack of empathy, and 'malignant narcissism'", and that he has a "dangerous mental illness", despite having never examined him.
In the absence of scientific consensus, I trust my own lived experiences and those of other people with the disorder I know. Science is so behind on personality disorders. Modern psychologists have about the same amount of understanding of personality disorders that Isaac Newton had of chemistry. And Newton was an alchemist.
I think if we made all the teenagers get up an hour earlier the whole year round, they'd revolt.
"vast remainder of the state", that's only 20% of the population. This author has no idea what they're talking about.
They only surveyed 1100 people.
Because without sunlight it's harder to wake up, and because I run an international D&D game. Also, DST is a nightmare for programmers.
Why do you want to get up in the wee hours of the morning in winter? Winter is already miserable enough with enough cold to make the world outside the covers terrifying and no sun at 6AM. You're just making winter more unbearable.
