Why are you killing all the deers in Skyrim?
children work in absolutes.
I kill one deer and she lectures me about how sad Santa is and how bad I am for killing ALL the rein deer in the world.
So this year, will you buy yourself presents to prove you're not on Santa's naughty list (and thereby giving her the idea that she really don't have to be good to receive presents), or will you go without and prove your daughter right? xD
And stop killing deers.
@enkoujin: parents and relatives wish that all the time. No big deal.

if she remembers this incident @ Christmas time, I may find myself the moral conundrum you describe lol.
Turn it into a lesson on separating games from reality. The earlier she learns that, the smaller the chances she will ever preach against games in later life.
Though it won't probably matter that much in the end; Santa comes from the north and in the north reindeers are regular food...
Pretty sure he's vegan. The milk I leave him never gets drunk.

I killed everything that moved in Skyrim. I've killed just about everything that walks or crawls at one time or another.

Is there anything wrong with always looking for (okay, maybe not looking.. but readily accepting or considering) someone better than your current partner when you're in a relationship?
Isn't that the whole point of dating? Aren't you looking for the best possible match? If so, you should always be open to the idea that someone better could come along.. and you should accept the better according to principle. Don't you agree? And if not, are we settling for whoever is "good enough"? Why is that the case? And if they're only "good enough", wouldn't that lead to divorce/break-ups once your own personal values change?
I hear people talk about the qualities of their partners sometimes. One of the things I hear when people talk about "inner beauty" as opposed to "external beauty" is that it doesn't change due to biological aging. One other thing is that people say things like "You're not the most beautiful, you're not the smartest.. but you're the kindest" or "you're the one who treats me the best". Inner or outer aside, in the end they're all just attributes though.. and like all attributes there's a possibility that someone could best them - be it outer beauty, or inner kindness.

No there isn't.
What about post-marriage? That still counts as a relationship in my books. Or is marriage when you cash in your chips and leave the table for good?

I don't believe in marriage, and neither do divorce rates.
I'd say there is no hook until you have kids. Except for rape, there's no excuse for having kids with someone you have no intent of spending at least ~20 years (kids baby to adulthood) EFFICIENTLY and HAPPILY with.
Marriage is just a cultural thing. But I think it's best to just be honest with your girlfriend Buff and tell her you're likely to bounce at any moment! lol Though there is no promise the "better" candidate will also think you are "better" for them.

The grass is always greener, at first glance anyway. When you look closer, you'll notice the problems in your neighbor's yard and regret moving. The chances of finding the perfect person for you are close to nil, and being single sucks for the most part. So be happy with what you have. If you want something better, then improve yourself before looking for someone else.

Is there anything wrong with hating certain dishes on principle? I mean, I can eat the dish and don't really find it disgusting because I can generally eat anything, but I hate it and never eat it because it is either gimmicky or fake. Sweet pasta and crab sticks come to mind.
Peace.
Not at all shinta. I, like you and Buff and Animeniax despise crab sticks for the same reasons in fact. There are plenty of things I hate on principle, food being the least. Speaking of food though, I hate rice. I really really despise rice, I am so tired of any and all things rice.
Anyway I just want to get at Buff. I was going to write a long detailed post about the issue but I am too tired to do so at the moment. If you are looking for an out in your relationship just get out, don't try to rationalize or justify it. Self improvement is fine and if you think someone else has better qualities that is fine too. Relationships don't work because people are soul mates or some crap. Good relationships work because both parties are committed to and continually work at improving not only their relationships but themselves. Any talk of settling sounds to me like you have some deeper issue with some aspect of your relationship and you should probably discuss that with the person you are with. As you stated the attributes you like about your partner are not unique to her. There will always be someone smarter, or more beautiful, or kinder, or more successful or whatever. The funny thing about relationships is that the qualities that people tend to see in others are mostly subjective and they are not static since people are constantly changing.
I am not with the woman I am with because I completely adore her and happen to think she is an amazing human being and one of the kindest, toughest, and certainly the most conscientious person I have ever met. She has a lot of good qualities and even some bad ones but I am not with her because of some quantitative or qualitative assessment. I am with her for one very very simple reason. I like who I am when I am with her.

How do you tire of rice? You're probably eating one of the less flavorful varieties. Try jasmine rice, it tastes great.

So you don't think one should think about the why? Just go with the fact that they're no longer happy with the relationship "just because"? It isn't necessarily that they're unhappy with the current situation, but that they predict that they could be happier elsewhere or with someone else.
"I like who I am when I am with her. " - I find that idea interesting and worth thinking about. It doesn't change the core of my question though. So if I flow with your reasoning.. what if someone thinks that they might "like who they would be more when they are with another"? Is that a good enough reason to test/consider/try out?
Do you suggest that we have our own judgement regarding the matter, so if someone is already "considering", it automatically means that their current relation isn't satisfactory?

For the tea drinkers of gotwoot:
Is there anything wrong with not washing out your teapot? Because I don't. It gets preheated with boiling or near boiling water at every use. At most I rinse it with boiling water, and wipe it out when it is dry if there is some mineral scale in there.
Some sources say it is superstition (bad luck to wash it out), some say it adds better flavor to the tea.
Take some other hard container of similar size and material wise preferably of roughly similar heat conductivity, thoroughly washed, and prepare the exact same tea in both at the same time. Pour into two cups and taste from both a few times. I doubt there's going to be much difference, though, but surely that's the only way to know for yourself.
I'm not a heavy tea drinker and I prefer tea with some extra taste, like fruit, so for me it would make absolutely no difference.
I've left a cup in my room long enough to grow mould. Couldn't that happen to a teapot?
