One clear legal benefit came up recently for me and my wife. She was in the hospital for several days. As her legal wife I was given certain medical information that would only go to next of kin. Before we got married we were not legal next of kin, and in fact that's the reason we got married.

The value would be, that church considers you married in the eyes of God, irrelevant of what human laws say. Not that I believe in any such god, but I remember gay people who got married in their Quaker church, and within their spiritual circle they were treated as married like any other married couple. Of course it didn't count for anything in the secular world.

Furthermore, it has always been possible to get a religious wedding (certain churches only), even before it could be a legal marriage.

If this isn't the definition of "too little too late", I don't know what is.

I'm 70 years old. Of course it's not the first time. Cute meme though.

These are times when I'm ashamed to be an American.

What I'm curious about (as a self employed tailor, so I have no personal interest in work from home, just curiosity) is whether or not employers are paying employees for the use of their homes as offices. Who pays the extra housing costs, internet, etc. that the employee can't claim on their taxes. And even if they could claim it, the amount claimed would not cover all the associated costs. If for instance you set aside a room in your house, and get away with deducting the rental value, claiming that value in the USA covers about 1/3 of the actual expense.

I would probably take a q-tip and dab at the blood with a tiny bit of hydrogen peroxide. It might bleach out any color, so only do that if the paper underneath is white. Really don't use much, and perhaps test first in some less important area of the notebook.

That picture is beautiful. It's also scary as can be, speaking as a Californian.

Even actual digestion, breaking down with enzymes, starts in the mouth. The more you chew, the more digestion has already started before it hits your poor overworked stomach. And pizza works the stomach hard!

Dude really felt the need to comment this in both communities lmao

So? Saying it twice, in different communities, doesn't rise to the level of spam.

I would dearly love to live in the world you believe you inhabit. I won't bother continuing this discussion with you though, as I KNOW I'm doing nothing socially inappropriate or offensive beyond walking or eating next to my wife.
