Marriage doesn't remove much freedom; it's just a contract that gives you a few perks if you agree to some basic stuff, and some security should the couple grow apart.
Toxic partners remove freedom: the insecure, possessive, jealous or control freaks. My girlfriend is free to leave me at anytime, hang out with whoever she wants and do whatever she likes. The fact that we're still together after 5 years and never had a fight 'despite' her freedom is a great feeling. If I were limiting her opportunities to meet people, i.e. if I were jealous, I would not know whether she's with me by choice.

I live in a country where prostitution is legal and where Mormons don't matter (the Netherlands). Would someone explain what this is all about?

Strawberry isn't a molecule. For all I know, the left box lists the names of abundant molecules found in any strawberry. My tapwater is full of dihydrogen monoxide and that doesn't gross me out.

White is a behavior now? And what does it have to do with thermometers? -- confused European

I don't get it.

We've been together for five years already, what would marriage add to what we have?

Pederasty is between a man and and adolescent boy. It's a one to one relationship between two males. It's not about a bunch of crayons of any colors, which I assume to represent kids of any.... genders? That's just weird.

At least it's something to which they can still relate. My specialty is the modeling of electromagnetic interferences in the quasi-optical part of far-infrared/submillimetric telescopes. And a bit of high mass star formation. I avoid taking about my job at parties, most attendees are high school drop outs, it tends to awkwardize everything.

I found a bee on my doorstep two weeks ago, it was exhausted but alive. I remembered this post, gave it a try. It's eerie how well it worked; in one minute it went from barely able to bend a knee in slow motion to flying off over the bushes. I know bees are tiny but there's no way it had the time to digest anything. Maybe it was just very thirsty.

Wave or particle? Nicely illustrate the state of today's science. Sure it works but it's not pretty. (I'm a physicist BTW)

Am I missing a reference?

I asked my grand mother "why is there a makes man on the plane?".

She must be Dutch. We take things literally and we're on time, it makes things easier for everyone.

But to forget microscope, you also have to forget "micro" and "scope". How can one forget "micro"? It's pretty much Greek for "small", it's used all over the place. Strange.
