I don't take my fiancée out for dinner because she doesn't know how to order off a menu.

At the end of the day here's the truth of the matter. This will not change, and it will bother you for the rest of your time together. If this is actually annoying enough for you to post this here, it will only get worse over time. You're not gonna get used to it, you will likely grow to resent her for it. People don't change, not really. Decide now, this is a deal breaker or not. There's no way this behaviour doesn't bleed into other shit in your lives. Changing course this far into the game is hard, but I suspect that you already know what you wanted to hear from everyone the moment you posted this. Listen to your gut.

Feels like a security issue to me. You could put in literally anyone's email address on a site that does this and immediately know if they have an account there or not. Even if you don't know their password, you know something new about that person.

I feel you on all these other ones too. There's a lot of UI/UX designers out there that need to be barred from that field forever.

Trump announces re-election bid in rambling address to Washington media

Here's what I think. There should be 11 of them, and on an 11 year cycle they should be directly elected by the people 1 per year, 11 year term, 1 term limit. They should be selected from a pool that is made up of high level judges in the country, and the members of that pool who decide to run for the position need to pass some sort of test by an independent board of constitutional scholars.

As the Supreme Court makes rulings, rulings that allow or affirm a right or action should be set in stone and no longer challengeable unless the entire panel of 11 judges unanimously decide that the issue needs to be reheard.

Something like this anyway, I'm sure there is more to consider but this is the general idea that I think would work.

Children who grew up teaching themselves because nobody had time to teach them often become adults who are extraordinarily competent and quietly resentful

There have been a ton of studies over the last several years that show that venting doesn't work, and can sometimes even make things worse. Not trying to invalidate your own experience, but this probably isn't the best advice for everyone.
