The Manhattan Project saved lives because they had set aside like a handful of cities as test subjects for the bomb, sparing those cities from firebombing raids.

Anyone mentioned calling themselves "expats" instead of immigrant?

Isn't this more of a generic white english world thing? Americans generally don't like leaving America for longer than a vacation.

okay I'm going to break posting kayfabe here a little to genuinely ask if "work spouse" actually does imply having a carnal relationship with someone from work, rather than just "this is a colleague / work-friend that I am so very close to that it's almost like we're a couple at work"

I mean, isn't that just a sub-category of having an affair?

Yep. It's called a work-life balance, which clearly implies that life is separate from work. The only way it's an affair is if you gently caress anyone but your work spouse during work hours, or your life spouse outside work hours.

loving your spouse during work-from-home is cheating on your work spouse.

She's not your work wife unless you have more emotional intimacy than your government wife. Sexual intimacy is optional.

treating the flag as sacred and only following flag code when it's convenient

the number of houses in florida that don't have proper lighting but don't take the flag down, fold it, and properly store it every night amuses me, they're the same people that think flag burning should be met with summary execution and their flag is in absolute tatters hanging on a rusty-rear end pole because you leave it out in the wind and rain and overnight

It’s this plus the implication it’s a person you spend more time with than your actual partner because it’s totally normalized to be constantly overworking so people have turned the sad reality of spending more time with your co-workers than your actual family into a cute little joke.
