L E T T E R S On Confederate Generals, Statues and Memorials: For Those Who Don’t Get It Put yourself in the shoes of a Jewish citizen living in Germany today and seeing streets, statues and government buildings and facilities named after Hitler’s generals. I would be outraged… Wouldn’t you? Now put yourself in the shoes of a Black citizen living in America... Preserving Civil War history is one thing... honoring the Civil War leaders who fought to keep you in slavery is another. Dan Wunsch Concerned Citizen Marina del Rey Say No to Al Fresco: Santa Monica City hopes to help Main Street with this bad plan Santa Monica is planning investment to enliven lower Main Street and help adjacent bar, restaurant and other businesses recover from the recent devastating pandemic shutdowns. Main Street is rightly deemed vital to both the economy, employing workers and paying taxes, as well
as anchoring the rich cultural life that makes this city special. But restoring this business community while maintaining social distancing is a thorny challenge. Last Friday, on the Ocean Park Association online Zoom meeting, city staff member Scott Johnson presented his “Al Fresco” plan as the solution. I was distressed to see how flawed this plan is and how it cannot solve the formidable problems Main Street faces. Most such projects go through a design review process so professionals not involved with creating the proposal can objectively evaluate its worth before production commitments are finalized. Strong evidence exists that this Al Fresco plan received no such review yet it has nearly arrived at the contract bidding phase. Al Fresco’s designers chose Santa Barbara’s failed lower State Street with its center slicing traffic lanes for its model, rather than our own successful Third Street Promenade. Professional design review would have noted that the Santa Barbara seating amenities were removed and parking lanes were restored because solidly
jammed traffic happened whenever a car paused to pick up passengers or a truck unloaded goods when there were no parking lanes for relief. Imagine how our Third Street Promenade would be destroyed if you sliced busy traffic and bike lanes through its center.
Imagine trying to visit with friends on the opposite side of the street, as you walk down to the next corner, wait for the light to cross and then walk up the other side — or maybe instead, you just phone across for your visit. Then, Al Fresco doubles down on awful by adding concrete K
Here is the Main Street Al Fresco plan’s rendering — a rendering that does not include the volume of bike, scooter and skate traffic that would be funneled into the bike lanes on a busy day. As you examine this image, picture the space inhabited by a joyful Saturday night crowd, with buses and motorcycles in bumper-to-bumper traffic.
Rail barriers between the new seating and the bike lanes. Think what life in that bike lane would be like, riding between the buses and automobiles on your left with the sharp cement corners on your right as a faster rider overtakes or a child rider is overtaken — not much room for passing on this crowded narrow runway and a scary ride for all but the most skilled.
With the new seating areas and the pedestrian walkways compressed by the expansive center maelstrom, where will room be found for social distancing? My unanswered question to the City Planners is, “Would you feel comfortable eating or drinking where a passing cyclist or stroller can sneeze on your guacamole in this COVID age?” If the public doesn’t feel safe in the space, how can anyone expect economic activity to return? So even though the city’s heart is in the right place and some scarce money is being allocated, this is not a plan that can save Main Street. Let’s replace Al Fresco with a plan that will work before the money and opportunity are wasted. Tim Tunks Santa Monica

Raising their Voices Venice High students lead peaceful protest in support of Black Lives Matter PHOTOS BY CARMEN PEREZ
Story by Kymia Freeman | Photos by Carmen Perez “It is our duty to fight for freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love and protect one another. We have nothing to lose but our chains.” This chant, among others, was a highlight of a two-hour peaceful protest held at Venice High School on Tuesday, June 9. Organized via Instagram by organizers and graduating Venice High School seniors Cailee Grayhorse-Pupecki and Mya Edwards, members of this year’s graduating class wanted to tip their graduation caps off to the memory of George Floyd — the unarmed black man who was killed in Minneapolis police custody on Memorial Day — and use their graduation as a platform for change. “Organizing this was out of necessity,” Grayhorse-Pupecki said. “I really hope that some change, some real change, comes out of this. [The situation] is not fair.” At the protest, both organizers gave impassioned speeches that wowed the crowd of 50 or so students, parents, community organizers and teachers. In part of her speech, GrayhorsePupecki addressed how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected Venice students’ activism, saying that, “[Venice students] may not have been able to walk the stage this year, but we have an oasis of time [to fight for justice]. We stand here for those who did not get to graduate.” Grayhorse-Pupecki also stressed the importance of equality in all sectors that have historically oppressed black and brown people, especially in education. Grayhorse-Pupecki, who herself is a mix of Native American, Black, Irish, German, and Italian, also highlighted how Venice High School is a model for the diversity and acceptance that should be observed around the nation. “We are an amazing melting pot,” Grayhorse-Pupecki said. “We stand for unity, friendship, and loyalty. We are so lucky to be at a school that’s so mixed up. One love, one heart, we’re all in this together; let’s push forward right here.” Edwards, the protest’s other organizer and leader of Venice High’s chapter of LA-based grassroots organization Students
Deserve, gave an equally moving speech about the importance of changing policing as we know it today. She called for the defunding of the police, especially LAUSD school police, which according to a report by the UCLA-based Million Dollar Hoods Project is home to the largest school police force in the nation. In place of the $70 million the school police department receives in funding from LAUSD, Edwards hopes that this money is instead allocated to in-person support services such as college and mental health counselors and nurses, among others. Edwards and other members of Students Deserve, which lobbies for progressive social change within LA Unified schools, have created a survey (bit.ly/defundlausdpolicesurvey) for LAUSD students to express their opinions on defunding of the school police force. In the Venice community, there have been a variety of demonstrations tied to Floyd’s death, but the one at Venice High School was entirely student-led and organized. The community responded positively to the peaceful protest. Passing cars honked in approval as music, megaphones, popsicles and hugs made up the colorful scene of student-led activism. This story is a collaboration between The Argonaut and The Oarsmen, the student newspaper of Venice High School. A version of this story originally appeared at veniceoarsman.com.

Birth of a Movement Federal leaders introduce the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act By Lydia You Following weeks of nationwide protests and galvanized support for radical police reform following the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and most recently, Rayshard Brooks, Congressional Black Caucus Chair Karen Bass, Sens. Cory Booker and Kamala Harris, and House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerrold Nadler have introduced the Justice in Policing Act of 2020, since renamed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. “The world is witnessing the birth of a new movement in our country. Today we unveil the Justice in Policing Act, which will establish a bold, transformative vision of policing in America,” Bass said during a press conference on June 8. Bass’ 37th Congressional District includes West Los Angeles, Mar Vista and Culver City. The act is a first-of-its-kind plan to hold police accountable through
a series of sweeping reforms, which would “establish a national standard for the operation of police departments, mandate data collection on police encounters, reprogram existing funds to invest in transformative communitybased policing programs, and streamline federal law to prosecute excessive force and establish independent prosecutors for police investigations,” according to a fact sheet released with the proposed legislation. The bill seeks to address police brutality through a number of concrete steps. Among the most salient are provisions that ban chokeholds and no-knock warrants at a federal level, and require that deadly force only be used as a last resort following a conscious effort to first employ de-escalation techniques. These reforms have been key points for activists, who have called for bans on unnecessarily violent and sometimes lethal policing tactics. Furthermore, the bill hopes to
hope
Rep. Karen Bass enact lasting change in the policing system by increasing accountability and developing training to end racial profiling and discrimination. The bill will require all federal law enforcement to use body and dashboard cameras, collect data on investigatory activities, and establishes a national police misconduct registry to prevent officers from moving from department to department without consequence. Beyond the police, the bill also recognizes the importance of supporting and funding commu-
nity-based programs that are working to change the culture of their local police departments. The bill has already garnered significant support among Democrats, with over 200 cosponsors in the House and Senate. “For too long, Congress has failed to act. That ends today with the landmark Justice in Policing Act which, for the first time in history, will take a comprehensive approach to ending police brutality,” said Booker. “Reforming policing is in the best interest of all Americans,” said California Senator Kamala Harris, “We know this is an issue that is not just at the federal level, but at the state and local level as well.” Indeed, while the bill is only able to directly influence policing at the federal level, it pushes local law enforcement to adopt similar measures through incentivized funding. However, the bill was introduced last Monday with no Republican
cosponsors, although House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer reassured that “there’s time for bipartisan cooperation on this bill,” especially after a number of hearings and markup sessions scheduled for later this week. Republicans cite concerns about the bill being too overreaching, instead advocating that states and localities make their own policies. On Wednesday, Senate Republicans unveiled the Justice Act, which would discourage, but not ban, police departments from using choke-holds and no-knock warrants. “Now the movement for police accountability has become a rainbow movement, reflecting the wonderful diversity of our nation and our world,” said Bass, referring to the unprecedented numbers of non-black people marching for the Black Lives Matter movement. The Justice in Policing Act is slated for a vote on the House floor the week of June 22.

Face Mask Fashion Wear your neighborhood pride with stylish Westside designs
By Meera Sastry and Christina Campodonico COVID-19 has impacted almost every aspect of daily life, and fashion is no exception. On May 13, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti made face coverings mandatory for residents whenever leaving one’s home. LA County and Santa Monica quickly followed suit. Over the last month, a spate of studies has come out highlighting the role of masks in curbing transmission of the coronavirus. Experts predict that we’ll probably be wearing masks for quite some time until a vaccine or effective treatment is developed. And fashion commentators like the New York Times’ Vanessa Friedman report that “they may become a fact of daily life, donned by all of us with the same unthinking passivity as a coat and sunglasses when we leave the house.” Of late, wearing one (or not) has even become a political statement — with demonstrators at Black Lives Matter rallies wearing face coverings that sport the movement’s name or say “I can’t breathe” (the haunting last words of George Floyd and Eric Garner) while certain politicians make a point of not wearing face coverings when out in public. For those who choose to make wearing a mask a fashion statement, we’ve got you covered. Though they may be required in L.A., there’s no
reason that these face coverings can’t be stylish and even fun! Leave the medical-grade ones for the pros, and check out the offerings below for a selection of fashionable masks crafted by local artists and brands — it’s a great way to support local small businesses while taking care of our community. From Swimsuits to Face Coverings: Morpheus Sarah Fisk’s Mar Vista boutique Morpheus had only been open for about two weeks when forced to close by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. “It was the craziest time for all of this to happen,” Fisk says. “You have to figure things out really quickly when all of this happens, especially with a small business.” Although caught by less-thanideal timing, Fisk was inspired by others who pivoted their businesses to make face masks and began sewing her own, she was well-prepared by her experience designing and sewing swimsuits. “I’d never made masks before, but it was cool getting to make something else,” Fisk says. “And I feel like if we can put something fun and happy on people’s faces, it makes it not so bad that we have to wear these now.” Her designs emulate the spirit of Morpheus, which strives to capture the feeling of both her California home and her travels with its homey interior and curated selection of products.
Fisk has also set up a way of giving back. “For everyone sold, I’ve been donating one,” she says. “We’ve given to six or seven hospitals across the country, low-income families, and essential workers.” Morpheus masks are multilayered, some with built-in interfacing and others with a pocket for wearers to add their own filter, and feature a strap that runs behind the wearer’s head for easy adjustment. $22 at shopmorpheus.com A Homegrown Business: BringIt! Venice moms Kristen Messina and Jane Keller took a different path when it came to creating their masks and brand BringIt! The two had been friends for years, but didn’t think that they would be starting a business until they saw the amount of demand there was for the personal masks they had made. “We started out making masks for ourselves, family, and friends, because we’re crafty and at the time there was nothing available,” Messina says. “So we started selling them locally, making them out of our kitchen, and that just grew.” Now, Messina and Keller run a full operation, selling masks through their website and at the Mar Vista Farmers Market. BringIt! is family and community-oriented, using a portion of its proceeds to donate masks, and its
Amiga Wild co-owner Sadie Gilliam models a mask from her Lincoln Boulevard lifestyle boutique founders hope that their newly founded business is contributing to the local economy as well. “We’ve got seamstresses working for us, we’re sourcing all our materials in the United States if not in Los Angeles or California, and we’re just happy to hopefully be making things easier for other businesses and workers,” Keller says. BringIt! masks are double-layered and made with organic cotton, and feature bright colors and patterns in three sizes.

Matthew Schildkret models a one-for-one mask made by his Venice apparel business Late Sunday Afternoon; BringIt! masks grew out of two Venice moms’ family kitchens making face masks both for purchase and for donation. “It’s a one-for-one program, meaning for every mask you purchase for $22, one will be donated to healthcare workers,” LSA founder Matthew Schildkret told The Argonaut in April. Late Sunday Afternoon masks are multilayered, with a silk or cotton exterior and synthetic interior filter; patterns and colors vary, as each is handmade. “It makes a really comfortable, Late Sunday Afternoon-style mask,” says Schildkret. $22 at latesundayafternoon.com Face Masks that Give Back: Buck Mason A menswear brand focused on high-quality wardrobe staples, Buck Mason was founded in a garage by two Venice neighbors and has since expanded across California and the rest of the country. Its project to support healthcare and essential workers “Masks for America” has set the goal of donating one million non-medical face masks through a one-for-one program that has already covered the donation of over 638,000 masks. The masks come in neutral tones and simple patterns, and feature an inner layer with an anti-microbial coating that lasts for up to 30 washes. $20 for a pack of 5 at buckmason.com A Touch of Whimsy: Amiga Wild At once a lifestyle boutique and a community space, Amiga Wild has highlighted local artists, musicians, and makers through its events and products since its founding in 2017. Its colorful masks for adults and children are available for purchase and pick-up at its Lincoln Boulevard
location. In terms of giving back, Amiga Wild has provided masks to the nonprofit Worthy of Love, which helps children experiencing homelessness. The masks are made from cotton fabric and feature an inside pocket suitable for the addition of a filter. Amiga Wild co-owner Alisun Franson also runs her own line of jewelry — Beatrice Holiday, which has also begun selling masks in addition to its usual fare of designs crafted from locallysourced, repurposed materials. Beatrice Holiday offers an array of patterned masks made from cotton fabric, as well as a few that feature embroidered and expressive lips for a sassier look. $15 at amigawild.com or $15 or $20 at shopbeatriceholiday.com Dogtown-style: Juice Magazine Juice Magazine was founded in 1993 and has since focused on covering the skateboarding, surfing, and punk rock scene. In keeping with their alternative brand, Juice Magazine’s handmade and hand-printed masks sport their logo in bold font with the additional option of slogans such as “Keep Skateboarding A Crime.” $15 at juicemagazine.com Artistic Flair: Michael Brunt and Patrick Marston Artists Patrick Marston and Michael Brunt create murals across Venice, Marina del Rey, and other parts of West LA, along with fine art and plant art installations.

A muralist by trade, he left Otis College of Art and Design early so he could get “paid” for producing art. His company Art Chemist has work adorning many buildings throughout Los Angeles including a Kobe Bryant tribute at the Just Ride Los Angeles Bike Store in downtown L.A. “There’s passion for correcting the injustices,” said Guerrero. “It’s being addressed by the youth, the young people, like 18 to 25, they’re really looking for change in the system.” Guerrero had a sizeable area to paint and was joined by a Culver City native who goes by the name of Mufasa. He studied at the San Francisco Academy of Art University and has been painting murals for 15 years since he was 13 years old. “I saw it (Paint the City Peaceful) on Instagram and hit up Jaime. He had just learned about it as well. We’ve worked together before.” Across Wilshire and just up the block Ava Youssefi of Santa Monica was putting the finishing touches on a stunning mural featuring Breonna Taylor. Taylor, who would have turned 27 on June 5, was gunned down in March in her own home by Louisville Metro Police in a controversial search warrant entry which is now under FBI investigation. “I just found out that I am [around] the same age as Breonna was when she was killed,” said the 27-year-old native of Seattle, “I was really touched by that and wanted to honor her memory.” “It’s just so beautiful, the community coming together,” she continued. “It feels good to be out here, I’ve made new friends and the people walking by are so appreciative.” On the storefront next to Youssefi, good friends and co-workers Kasey Blaustein and Cat Ferrier were busy on their mural calling for an end to police brutality and judicial injustices. “A friend of mine DM’d me with a link to Paint the City Peaceful and I just thought it was something to be a part of,” said Blaustein, the founder of Kasey Jones, Ink, whose clients include Amazon, Target and Kettle Chips. Along with protest signs stating “Enough is Enough” and “Come Together” Blaustein’s mural has a local flavor featuring the land-

By Richard M. Crasnick The author is a native of Los Angeles and has resided in Santa Monica for the past 33 years. He owns a boutique toy company, FIKI Sports, manufacturing tabletop sports games. He holds a degree in journalism from CSUN. On May 31, Santa Monica was ground zero for wholesale looting. From 2nd Street to the eastern city limit more than 150 businesses, mom & pop stores and national chains were damaged or defaced. The city has cleaned up, officials have made excuses and the community has marched peacefully. What has been left in its wake are boarded up storefronts in the downtown business district and webbing throughout the city. While some protest, others paint. Like blooming summer flowers, murals are sprouting up throughout the city. It wasn’t by accident. “Paint the City Peaceful” did not exist two weeks ago. However, a group of concerned citizens looked upon the recently blighted city and the boarded-up storefronts as an opportunity. The boards would become large canvasses for messages of hope, love, peace and solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. “We believe art can heal and change the world and today was proof of that,” stated Spencer William Koon, one of the organizers of June 6’s mural-fest and co-founder of Paint the City Peaceful. “Today was incredible! The turnout was amazing and we are so grateful.” On this Saturday afternoon no fewer than a dozen artists were painting along Wilshire Boulevard from the Third Street Promenade east to Lincoln Boulevard. Jaime Guerrero, 33, was working on his mural at the corner of 5th Street and Wilshire at the First Republic Bank office. He titled it “Love is in the World” and the mural depicts Mother Gaia, the ancestral mother of all life, holding a large heart with smaller hearts descending into a world of beauty, with pink skies, cascading waterfalls, lush green mountains and a crystal blue lake. “The world needs love more than anything right now,” said Guerrero. “That’s what this mural is about, spreading love.”
Muralists and citizens with a creative bent got together to paint messages of hope, love and solidarity committed to aiding the Black mark Clock Tower Building, the Matter protesters and briefly Lives Matter movement through iconic Santa Monica Yacht extend their gallery out onto sales of her art — heart-shaped Harbor sign and the worldthe streets.

Mac That’s All Grown Up Eat your veggies and indulge your inner child with this twist on a classic dish A drizzle of olive oil • In a bowl, mix together the flour and salt, and form a well in the center. Crack in the egg and pour a drizzle of olive oil in the well, whisking with a fork to slowly incorporate the flour. Whisk in a tablespoon or two of water. • Once the dough comes together, knead it for ten minutes on a work surface until smooth; the dough should be soft but should not be sticking to the work surface. Add more water or flour to adjust if the dough is too wet or dry. • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, and let it rest on the counter for 30 minutes. • Shape the dough however you’d like; if you’re feeling noodles, roll the dough out and cut them into strips. If you’re feeling cut pasta, I find making cavatelli (the hot dog bun-shaped kind) the easiest. To do this, cut off a section of the dough, and roll into a thin, long tube. Taking a butter knife, cut off a small, penny-sized sliver of the tube, and using the back of the knife, press and roll over a fork or cheese grater to get an imprinted, shell-like shape. The imprints are perfect for picking up the sauce. • Dust the pasta with flour, and set aside in the fridge until ready to use.

Recipe Guide 8 ounces of dried or fresh pasta (See how to make your own homemade pasta down below.) 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese (If you have pecorino or a similar hard cheese, that will work perfectly as well.) Olive oil 1 tablespoon of Black pepper (Amount is flexible depending on your spice tolerance!)
• First, boil a large pot of salted water. Cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces, and quickly blanch them in the boiling water until they’re half-cooked. Without draining the water, remove the vegetables from the pot and into a bowl of ice water. This process will preserve the natural bright-green color of the veggies. For leafy or aromatic vegetables such as spinach or leeks, leave them out of the blanching process and save them for later. • After shocking them in cold water, drain the vegetables and pat them dry. Spread them out on a baking sheet and coat with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you’d like. Broil on high on the top rack of the oven until golden brown and crispy. • While the veggies are in the oven, cook the pasta in the same water until 2 minutes from cooked. Meanwhile, whisk together the parmesan cheese, a ladle of the pasta water, and a drizzle of olive oil in a bowl until it forms a smooth paste. In a pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil and add the ground pepper and minced garlic over medium-high heat. This would be a good time to add leeks if you’re using them. Once the garlic is softened and browned, take the pasta out of the water and mix it in with the pepper and garlic in the pan. Lower the heat and add the parmesan mixture, stirring until fully incorporated. Let it simmer until it thickens. If it’s too dry, add some more pasta water. If it’s too watery, add some more parmesan. Once everything is bubbling and thickened, mix in the broiled summer veggies and spinach, if you’re using them. Add salt to taste. • To serve, top with fresh basil, more
cheese to add sophistication to this ground pepper, and parmesan cheese to taste. Sprinkle on some lemon zest for an extra zing. To make this dish into a well-rounded meal, pair with grilled chicken, steak, or shrimp. For pork lovers, add some chopped up bacon when you start frying the garlic. How to Make Your Own Pantry Pasta 1 cup of AP flour per large serving (I like to mix in some semolina or double 0 flour for texture.) 1 Egg per serving ¼ teaspoon of Salt

PRSRT STD ECRWSS U.S. POSTAGE PAID Pasadena, CA Permit #422
For the past few months, we’ve all been hunkered down at home, leaving many of us scrambling to make do with what we have in the fridge or anything not expired in our pantries. This weekly guide will help you ease off the stress of finding the “perfect” recipe to fit whatever you have in your kitchen and will instead be catered to you, what you have or what you can easily pick up at a local farmers’ market. All of these “guides” are easily tweaked and substituted, and will include as many alternatives as possible. I find that as long as you use fresh local ingredients, you really can’t go wrong! Adult mac and cheese is my take on the classic Roman dish, Cacio e pepe. It’s almost as easy as boxed mac and cheese, and the addition of green, seasonal local vegetables takes it to a new level of sophistication and healthfulness. Any type of pasta that you have in your pantry will work; you could even try it with gnocchi, orzo or Casa Pasta’s spinach fettuccine. The Santa Monica-based pasta maker now offers pickup through the drive-thru Playa Vista Farmers Market at CTRL Collective (12575 Beatrice St.) on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. However, if you want more of a challenge, make this dish with homemade pasta! (See instructions below.) You most likely already have all of the ingredients in your kitchen, and it’s a fun project to take on with your family. The veggies you use are entirely up to you — although you may like to try it with some veggies from your local farmers’ market. (Playa Vista’s farmers market now offers a veggie box, too; visit farmermark.com/locavore for a full list of vendors and delivery times.) You can choose to add as much and as many as you’d like!
Add some greens to your mac and comfort food 2 cloves of minced garlic Lemon Zest from one lemon Any of the following fresh green, seasonal veggies (The amount you want to put in is up to you!): • Asparagus • Broccoli • Zucchini • Peas • Leeks • Spinach • Kale Salt, to taste Basil (optional)

Women back on exactly how much: “If we evolved to be “commitment skeptics,” weren’t together, I’d chain you to a wall erring on the side of doubting a man’s in my basement and lower your food in willingness to stick around and provide. a bucket.” A man in love is a man unlikely to be
EMBER ALERT I want to end a relationship, but I don’t know how. I don’t want to hurt my boyfriend’s feelings, but we’re just not a good fit. I really hate conflict and would rather just ghost, but I know that’s not right. What’s the easiest way to break up with someone? Is there a way to make it less traumatic? —Avoidant

The easiest way to break up with someone is to be crushed by a flaming meteorite. There’s no uncomfortable conversation; your smoking ashes say it all: “It’s not you. It’s me, and specifically, the way I’ve been turned into a pile of fireplace trash.” You, on the other hand, are turning this guy into a human beetle trapped in relationship amber because you’re letting your emotions do your thinking. Psychologist Daniel Kahneman explains that our brain has two information-processing systems, a fast-responding emotional system and a slower rational system. Our fast emotional system
jumps in automatically. (You just get angry when someone keys your car; you don’t have to decide to be angry.) Reasoning, however, is “mental work,” Kahneman explains. It requires choosing to make the effort, like considering whether your initial emotional reaction (in this case, “avoid conflict at all cost!”) is actually a wise response. You might, for example, calculate how much time you spend daily fretting over procrastinating and add up the weekly “cost.” Chances are you’re actually having a ton of “conflict”; it’s just not with the person it would be helpful to. Telling this guy, “I just don’t think we’re a good fit,” on the other hand, releases him to find somebody who actually wants him. It also eliminates relationship issues that tend to crop up when you stay with somebody who isn’t doing it for you anymore. (If your partner’s inspired to get a battery-operated device to liven things up in bed, it shouldn’t be a defibrillator.)
