Okay real life actual problem time
I write on the subway, on the way to work, on the way home
And when I say write, I mean I am currently in the process of writing a book that I have every intention of publishing (started September 2013, currently on my second round of edits)
My +1 got a new job to where our commutes suddenly overlap. I let her know, when she suggested that we could commute together, that I would prefer to not do that as that is really the only guaranteed time I have to work on this book.
She agreed then, but it has become kind of an issue lately.
Now, occasionally, I do join her for the commute, but I would say 4/5 days a week we commute separately for this reason.
Moving it around in the day is not really an option. Mornings are hectic and I often brave the morning to get us coffee, make breakfast, etc. Nights don't really work because we cook often and spend our evenings together. I usually have about an hour to myself, but this tends to be after 10PM when I am too exhausted to do anything like focus on the minutiae of language.

the blue and the forest and mmmmmmmmm
you know I forgot that even movies I don't really care about can strike me more visually nowadays. I have given in to enjoying the spectacle/3d stuff and if the movie has that color tone and a nice sense of magic I'm sure I could enjoy myself.
if it doesn't get shit on I'll probably end up going
@Organichu so, speaking of water, have you heard about this one? Take your body weight and half it then drink that many ounces of water a day. It's supposed to help you shed all kinds of weight, my priest's wife is all over this concept and has been trying to sell me on it pretty hard.
I figure it's more about allowing water to take up space in your stomach constantly than the amount of water, but I'm not sure. I'm also leery since you can drink enough water to kill yourself...granted, that's a lot of water, and I don't weigh ~that~ much ffs.
That's a whole lot of water. Maybe the original idea started from KGs or something. A 200 lb person is going to end up drinking almost 13 glasses of water a day.
Though I've heard water kind of abates the hungry feeling.

getting an erection and running into a wall really fast so it inverts?
thats how it works right
speaking of erections and surgery were you here the other night when I looked up sra? You are advised not to think sexy thoughts after surgery because increased blood flow can bust stitches.
Omg... how do you do that?
I get like million boners a day.

If you are spending time with her elsewhere, absolutely not.

i basically only get angry at niche nerds if they are unpleasant. if they're a little bit oblivious and consumed by their thing i might find them kind of lame? i suppose i wouldn't enjoy speaking with them. but i don't really dislike them. i just prefer a more rounded person.
i'm only going to have aggressive feelings of dislike if they're the special breed of domineering, rude, resentful nerd. i find that is a pretty small minority, though.
i feel sort of weirdly patriarchal to, like, the young nerds i see bumping around boston from time to time or especially around pax time
like i am kind of seized with this sense that they are making some bad decisions and limiting themselves and i find myself embarrassed for them
i am like
"take a shower! learn some things that maybe girls are interested in! maybe put more effort into combing your hair than your exquisitely documented rpg setting!"
my orientation towards them is definitely not anger or even dislike (though tbh i really don't want to spend time with them). i just feel kind of bad for them.
now dudes my age who are still going strong with that sort of thing i am a lot more judgy about.
I have one of these living on my couch right now. It's sad...and highly annoying. Though more than the social nose-in-the-air about everything and the need to have a contrary opinion to anything I may like it's the sense of entitlement that kills me.
neither my wife nor i struggle with weight, but we just dont buy a lot of junk food regardless. no soda, no candy, no ice cream, no chips. (well, okay, we buy fritos but that's because life is meaningless without them)
i dont know where i'm going with this but i guess it is to say that i dont think we live especially "healthy" lifestyles. one of my friends commented the other day that my wife and i are "health food" nuts or whatever, and I don't think that's especially true? unless, being a health food nut means that you eat an apple or an orange instead of a bag of cheetos as a snack. i dunno. i feel normal?
i definitely want to do something this weekend. either we get together saturday or sunday or i am heading to nyc to do stuff there. or maybe y'all can come to nyc if you have a place to crash? i dunno
but pls get back to me soon (tonight?) so i can figure out what i'm doing, i'm definitely not sitting in the house this wkd
i figure if we wanna hang in philly we can go to square burger if mim's around- she wanted food from there i think
otherwise i don't really know what we'd do. i've been to the art museum recently and i don't want to go to the zoo until it's a little warmer and the animals are active

I understand a lot of this sentiment
although I have no patience for it anymore and I just remove myself from the social company and spaces those folks tend to occupy
I don't do conventions anymore, if I deign to go into a gaming or comic shop at all, it's an in and out affair to grab what I want and leave with speaking to as few people there as possible
I'm tired of trying to "mentor" these people and I honestly don't think my patriarchal attitude towards them is actually helpful to them in any meaningful way
so I just avoid them
I think it makes everyone happier, they don't want me around anyway

feral: the mainstream shouldn't be dismissive of nerds and subcultures. it should be inclusive.
will: the mainstream isn't going to change. nerds and subculture types need to learn how to suck it up and engage with the world as it is
Ugh. Really?
I didn't bring up the mainstream. You did.
I'm really much less concerned about what "the mainstream" says or does than you are. I don't give much of a shit that some dude in an office down the block hates bronies or Homestuck fans or football fans, or whether that dude down the block has opinions that reflect a plurality of English speakers or not, outside of some academic sociological curiosity.
I'm more interested in what the people immediately around me (metaphorically, since we're online) say and do. So here. Let me fix that for you.
feral:the mainstreamD&D chatters shouldn't be dismissive of nerds and subcultures as long as those nerds and subcultures aren't harming anybody else*. it should be inclusive.
* I put this in there for PantsB. I'm judgmental as fuck when I think that harm is befalling somebody.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
i drink a lot of water per day. probably something like 100oz daily or more like ~160oz on days i exercise. makes me feel good. i never feel uncomfortably bloated or sick. works well for my body.

No. It' say thing you're committed to doing, and when you're done writing the book you can commute with her because you are not working.
Until you start the next one.
This is a time to ask her to be supportive rather than upset. Maybe the commute isn't the issue, and she doesn't believe in your project. That could be the genesis of your problem...
