$1500 a month? I wish!

Yep, assigned reading in Florida

Kids! I thought when I was a kid I wanted them no matter what. In my early twenties I decided I only wanted kids if I could find the right partner. Now I have one. Sometimes my partner is great, sometimes he sucks. I don’t care, because my kid is great. She’s a joy to be around and gives my life purpose in a way I didn’t realize was possible. My whole purpose is just to enjoy reading her a story in that moment. My whole purpose is to feed her when she’s hungry. My whole purpose is to look into her eyes. My whole purpose is just to enjoy the moment I’m in, and she accidentally causes me to be fully present so often. It’s amazing.

That said, I would say if you’re not 80% sure you want kids, don’t. Figure out what would get you to 80% first. Financial stability, a good partner, a solid career field, etc.

Did anybody else read tangerine as a kid? I still think about it pretty often and I’m 30.

How much is a convection oven? Because my air fryer was $35 and it’s amazing. What’s the scam here? It’s much smaller and available for very cheap. Unless convention ovens are way cheaper than I think? Looks like even the cheap “countertop” ones are a couple hundred bucks. The real ones are 15 hundred easy.

You’re fighting for semantics, but the other guy is right here. Organic labeled food and “organic food” can be used interchangeably

And their children made to drink from public water supply**

I grew up in an almost 3000 sq foot home with only 5 kids. I know you were using hyperbole with the ten kids thing, but it was cramped with 7. Always sharing bedrooms, never actually getting your own space, no playing music without bothering someone, hard to do homework when your sister is practicing her oboe. If you want a dining room table that fits everyone and a living room where your family can stretch out for a movie, you need the space. (Also I grew up in Florida so no basement or attic. Not sure how those figure into sq footage)

Sometimes the thing that sets a dog off is just that they’re older and confused. Dogs do sometimes just snap with no warnings, same as humans.

I think you mean much cheaper than what WE pay for them to stay at his hotel. That’s tax payers’ money. Fuck that guy.

I’m guessing fast lefters don’t even click on posts about Trump at all. It’s like he’s not relevant to them ( especially the ones delusional enough to suggest not voting for Biden, it’s like they’ve totally forgotten that means we end up with trump)

Do you actually not know where the generalization comes from, or do you just not like it?

My brother’s last three serious relationships all have hadthe same name. It’s not his fault that name was popular 3 years after he was born. The girls are nothing alike.

That said it’s a struggle not to call the current one New “Sarah”

My ex (though really his mom i guess) taught me you can just run a half empty dishwasher. I grew up without a lot of money, so we weren’t running the dishwasher until it was full (big family, so pretty often). But when you’re one or two people, it never fills up so I was just hand washing dishes, hating my life. They ran the dishwasher every night no matter how full or empty it was. At 9pm, the dishwasher started. It’s stupid to say it changed my life, but now I just run it whenever I want. I also run my washing machine all the time and folding half loads is so much better, I no longer hate laundry.

Morally impossible? Geez I guess we should just get ready for more genocide with a side of human rights violations all over our shores too. Sorry, women, black Americans, and immigrants, Democrats would rather make a show of their morals than pick the much much much lesser of two evils. Big picture doesn’t matter here.

If we had to pick a candidate who aligns with all our morals, no one would ever vote. Vote for Biden, and then to make a difference fight on your local level(city) for ranked choice voting! Once you win that fight, try to get it enacted in your county. Do not waste your vote on Trump over this. That’s what staying home or voting independent will do, and once Trump wins, you’ll regret it. (Trust me, I fucked up and voted independent in 2016 for my “morals” Never again.)

I cannot understand why anyone would use an app with Ads when connect has none and it’s free! After getting used to no ads, pure content, I would hate to go back.

I used to use boost for Reddit, but I’m securely in the connect camp now.

I’m not saying those things are morally worse or something, I’m just responding to OPs question about what merits a tip. I’m just outlining the etiquette.

If you have above average service needs, that’s when a tip is appropriate. It’s not your fault you have an allergy, but it creates more work, so a tip is appropriate.

Also it’s very common for waiters to tip out kitchen staff

Honestly I think if you gave them the same choice, they’d pick bear too. Bear or a man who has on average 75% more muscle mass and 90% more strength than you. He is also 93% likely to be gay. Now you might be in the forest with your nice and normal gay neighbor and have a totally lovely time! Or you might get one of those gay priests who just want to rape you repeatedly. Which do you pick? Man or bear?

That’s a lot closer to the choice women are making.

I want to throw up. Rent at the shittiest, drug user filled, mushroom growing out of your shower ceiling, tiny bathroom, kitchen almost non existent, 1 bedroom, view of the apartment across the “courtyard” in my city is more than 10k a year (and that was several years ago). USA
