Is when you come harder than someone else.
Hym "Oh, and to answer your other question, it depends to what degree the outcome is determined by biology."

Iam "You had that primed, you had that primed for a while now. Why did you wait so long?"

Hym "Because it's a stupid question. If you dispense with the unconscious choice there is nothing left but conscious choice. But you acknowledge that there is unconscious choice. So, here is the example: the conscious choice is a 20 year old woman sleeping with a 60 year old man because (and explicitly because) he's loaded. That is a conscious articulated choice. Vaguely coincides with evolutionary biology in the context of hypergamy but the act of golddigging is an act of consciousness rather than a choice solely based on evolutionary biology. Correct? Forgoing some of the elements of hypergamy and making pragmatic choice to maximize monetary gain. Also, does the choice factor in the consciousness of the person being chosen? And to what degree? Does my consciousness matter more than my sexual marketplace value in the context of evolutionary biology and hypergamy? No. I'll answer that one for you. The answer is 'No. It doesn't.' "

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
