Communication is not an option when the man speaks no English and is functionally blind. You can’t mime any thing. You wouldn’t have been able to guess his language either to use a translator app, because it’s not like he was speaking something recognizable to the average American.

I agree, calling the police is a gamble at best, but so is letting a stranger into your home who is holding a curtain rod. It was not obviously a walking stick with red tape on the end. Unfortunately, as a woman in America, your default is to be wary if not afraid of men.

This situation just sucks for everyone involved, and is a downright tragedy for the man. He was abused by the authorities, not the random woman whose porch he ended up on.

Yep! I’m both! My glass hutch in the kitchen is all clear and white glass and matching sets, daily use. My hoarders nest cabinet in the pantry holds cups from mystic pizza, the pirate restaurant, promotional yetis, my nostalgic Tupperware from college with no lid.

Lmfao I thought they meant eat the food jfc I am dumb. The worst part is, i’ve seen this tweet before, and I understood what it meant the first time. Pregnancy brain.

This time. I figured neighborhood must be an app like uber eats, and they’re saying just act like the food is for yourself.

If i avoided every place I ever encountered misogyny, my life would shrink considerably. Forget work. Never a church. Goodbye school, the grocery store, movie theaters, almost all spaces online, my local park.

Oh sheesh. It runs in families. They’re saying growing up with a schizophrenic parent exposes you to stress that makes you more likely to indulge in pot. Their point stands.

My nephew was also in the nicu for three months, and he cost a million dollars. Also picked up by Medicaid. As much as I hate the US Healthcare system, I will be forever grateful to the united states of America for providing life to my nephew when in any other time or situation he would have just died immediately. He is and continues to be a miracle, a very special, bright boy who just scored a goal for his soccer team this weekend for the first time.

Obviously drinking lowers your inhibitions so it’s a social lubricant from that, but I always liked how drinking/ weed are also a helpful gauge of how long people plan to be around. Are they getting drunk? They plan to stay a while. One more beer? 20 minutes to half an hour more of socializing at least. They’ve switched to water? Not the time to suggest starting a game or to get into a deep conversation.

Idk i kind of get it. I don’t want the government regulating how I raise my kids. I don’t want them to enforce that i follow rfk jrs recommendations. I don’t want them saying I legally have to educate my kids according to turning point’s curriculum.

It’s a slippery slope and I don’t trust the government as far as I can throw it to set what is considered scientific consensus.

Hard agree these parents should be found criminally negligent, but how will that be possible when their own government is telling them not to trust vaccines?

We went one year where it rained. We got pretty wet, but the lines all disappeared. It was amazing.

I don’t know why no one has said it, but get rid of social media as we know it. That’s the actual only solution. The harms of social media applies to all ages. It’s the capitalist side of social media that is the danger. Put limits on advertising and suddenly the algorithms to keep you engaged/ angry/ addicted are pointless, and suddenly social media isn’t as harmful.

I have these! Plus I’ve got a bony lump on the roof of my mouth. Like half a small golf ball or half a large marble at the back of my hard palate, right before my soft palate. I always thought everyone had it, but a few years ago I learned it’s rare. More common in certain genotypes, most people in my family have it.

My husband bought me chocolate this month (as he does every month with the groceries) but this month rationed it into little valentine bags.

I wrote out 102 reasons I love him on colorful scraps of paper and rolled them up into jars.

I think it’s so narrow minded to say you don’t celebrate valentines because it’s too capitalistic. Aren’t you looking for any excuse to shower your partner with love? Plus valentines can be so grade school and still so sweet! It’s an excuse to let out your inner child and make a craft or hand drawn card/ love letter. I baked heart shaped cookies and dyed some frosting pink!

Neither of us shelled out big money, but you can bet I wore pink and red a couple times this week. It’s fun to like stuff! It’s the best part of being human!

You said

Perfect argument that they are too immature to be on the road.

In response to a comment saying doors may not automatically close on self driving cars to protect children. It seems like you’re saying children are too immature to be on the road.

No one thinks children are incapable of closing doors, people think self closing doors may cut off children’s fingers.

I’m sorry, are you saying children are too immature to be passengers in cars?

I do miss the low light camera so much

I was a pixel user since pixel 1, always buying A year or two behind whenever mine would crap out. My last 2 gave up awfully quickly both with bloated fat batteries. Google was supposed to replace the battery for free but I couldn’t figure out how to bring it anywhere local. On the second one, it stopped turning on when the battery got fat, and no way in hell was i sending in my phone without wiping it. I’m never doing pixel again. They’re unreliable.

See and I just thought Hess had to hunt while on skis

When you look at the damage French protests cause vs the violence they incite in cops, it’s relatively safe compared to the violence us cops perpetrate in retribution to completely peaceful protests in the us, or even just violence top bystanders in the US. Add in that French protests actually accomplish something and the risk benefit calculations are so totally different.

I mean believing Mr. Grab 'em by the pussy measures genital tightness with a finger isn’t quite the stretch that adrenachrome is, but I take your point.

Yeah, I do think women women on average put more effort into being physically attractive to men (certainly more time on average). I’m sure it’s controversial to say but on a basic 1-10 scale my gay friends rank higher on average than do my straight buddies, and I think that’s about effort, not nature.

I think hair, makeup,and clothes can change your base rank a lot but average women take advantage of this way more than average men while celebrity men and women both take full advantage so the 10 ranking is set just as high for both genders, but higher rankings are more attainable for “regular” women.

So maybe women aren’t so much pickier as it is that neither gender exists as a perfect bell curve in our natural state compared to 10s and a lot of women’s beauty is “unnatural” raising our ratings.

My husband and I are both pretty low key on attractiveness effort normally but the difference between me on an average Saturday and me attending a wedding is way bigger than his difference.
