  • “Best” is subjective in the sense that OP hasn’t said which metric is most important to them

    Your shitty suggestion optimizes for being gentle and considerate.

    I’ve chosen ease on OP’s part and memorability.

    OP, you can build tension over the night by asking to play songs that relate to infidelity. Shaggy’s “Wasn’t Me”, Amy Winehouse’s “You Know I’m No Good”, Carly Rae Jepsen’s “This Kiss”, that kinda thing.

    I’m oddly partial to The Outfield’s “Your Love”



  • I don’t think Santa = swastika but it is super tiresome when Halloween ends and suddenly there’s Christmas shit everywhere. I know it’s more a factor of capitalism than Christianity, but it even infects the meager Hanukkah end caps we get. There’s frequently products being sold that are clearly just Christmas goods painted blue and white (argh) paraded around as Hanukkah goods. Fuckin blue and white pine tree tchotchkes? C’mon what the fuck is that? Hell, one year I saw “chocolate Maccabes” which were literally just chocolate Santa candies in a different foil.

    It’s all expected, it happens every year (though the holiday seems to take up more of the calendar each year), but damn is it tiresome. And don’t get me started on the music!










  • Can you give some more context for your question? It sounds like you might be replying to someone who just expressed a desire for something that you also want, but the specifics of the situation might make one reply feel more natural than another.

    But based on nothing else, I’d say “I want that.” Or “I want that, too.” sounds natural to me, an East Coast American in the NYC area.

    Also, looking at your posts, your English seems pretty natural, I wouldn’t guess you’re a non-native speaker reading what you write online. I can see some over-formality that I know to look for something deviant, but it’s not immediately apparent.
