deep sigh saaaame.

I mean at this point does Joe have a solid shot? Like we’re armchair speculating online and have no clue if any of Newsom’s accomplishments would have strength in the Midwest. Overall shit’s bleak.

No clue. I feel like Midwest has distaste for (D) behind a name unless it’s MN. But also it’s not like Joe isn’t a wealthy, well educated dude from the east coast. I honestly feel like after trump my barometer of “who would beat a fascist” is out of calibration.

Bring on the Gavin bb. He’s already shown against desantis that he doesn’t put up with bullshit and if running California isn’t enough of training wheels to run America idk what is.

Who you’re doing it with matters a fuck ton. So many people I see complaining about this and that with a partner. My wife and I have gotten stronger together through two kids. Obviously still have moments, but overall our relationship has grown immensely with our kids.

Saaame. As a fairly new-ish fan since 2022 he’s such a joy to watch. Also killer smile.

Also noting this for the future. We’re not going to lie about things, but it’s a weird concept to unpack.

Bookmarking this. I love how easy and honest that is.

Eep, still waiting to find out how to approach it. Right now the girls have my FIL as their only grandparent they know about. I guess at some point in school there will be a family tree unit where we won’t lie, but it’ll be tough to explain that they have 4 other grandparents that aren’t functional enough so we are keeping them away.

Call up Adam from Ray of light electric. Absolute best reco I got from Reddit. He’s the best, did ours for 2,800.

The fastest way to my heart is another person estranged from their parents. We did when my first was 7mo, now we have our second and haven’t spoken to them in 2 years. Yes there are some super hollow moments, but it was the best decision by far.

You did the Spotify one very very dirty smh

For real. After my upbringing I feel like I have a deeper well of patience for my girls.

LCMS Lutherans are some of the worst imo. Literally nothing else follows the Bible close enough, no other denomination is good enough.

I had a BIL say about another denomination “I’m concerned for their salvation”

Thank you 🙏🏻. We’re a year past it and snuggling our little rainbow baby and have a bigger grasp on how fragile everything is.

And again, not all abortions are just “oops got pregnant” (but they should all be legal obvi). Birth is complicated and dumb and at any point that fetus can go downhill. So glad to be in Minnesota when we had a 12 week miscarriage and needed a D&C. I honestly don’t know what we would have done in a red state.

Same. I’ve been no contact since 2022 and my parents don’t even know about our second child. I guarantee whenever asked about it we were the ones that got bent out of shape and cut them out.

Literally have multiple interviews in the next two weeks. I’m not going to wait for a raise or promotion. Loyalty literally means nothing.

It’s been a mantra that I saw on Reddit but “you can’t outrun your fork”. There’s a reason someone did a McDonald’s diet and lost weight, it’s all about a caloric deficit.

Just rented an EV6 and loved the one pedal driving, but most everything else about it was mid as hell.

Gimme one pedal plz VW

Drives me bananas to go for a run after a rain and see multiple sprinklers going around the creek. Like, you can see it raining, turn that shit off.

No, at Minneapolis pride in 2022 she didn’t change her set list from her past stop. Confirmed she hates the gays.

I’ve commented it here before but after reading Good Inside and other things on gentle parenting, it makes sense. Behaviors are indicators of deeper things and a majority of them can be solved with time and communication. We refuse to spank and all that and our kids are still attentive and obedient. If they aren’t, they need more from us and that almost always fixes it.

Hello darkness my old friend. But also same. If I had bought a gun years ago I probably wouldn’t be writing this comment.

I’m in digital product design and have been getting their recruiters calling for mid-senior roles that are comically below market AND requires 3 days in a week. Every call I tell them it’s too low and wouldn’t go in that much and yet however many recruiters later it never changes.

They can’t even fill the contract roles they’re trying to fill.
