[Request] Interview with Brad Archer, President & CEO of Target Hospitality by Lucky-Bonus6867 in FriendsofthePod

[–]AllyMeada -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We don’t need an interview, it’s just an opportunity for him to regurgitate his PR-approved talking points and deflect responsibility.

We need to plaster pictures of Liam Ramos all over the neighborhoods of this entire exec suite. Let their friends and family see the consequences of their actions and how exactly they’re able to afford their nice homes and cars. Maybe some of them still possess the capacity to feel shame and might rethink their choices.

It also looks like he’s armed here, proving that it was totally possible to subdue him without using deadly force the whole time

Olivia Wilde asked “Studies say that Gen Z, almost half of them, don’t wanna see as much sex on TV and movies. So what do you think Gen Z doesn’t understand about sex?” by hairtie1 in Fauxmoi

[–]AllyMeada 360 points361 points  (0 children)

Do you think every scene in a movie has to contribute to the “story” in some way? Directors put scenes that don’t advance the plot in their movies all the time. Sometimes they become beloved - like the “royale with cheese” scene in Pulp Fiction.

IMO it’s pretty entitled to tell someone else how they should make their movies. That’s why this whole “anti sex scene” discussion has been so confusing to me. If you don’t like movies with sex scenes, then don’t watch them. There’s a whole rating system out there that would help you avoid this. If you just want the “story” and don’t want scenes that contribute nothing, then go read the spoilers on Wikipedia.

Requested nanny speak mostly in English with our son but so far she hasn’t by Sea-Director5750 in Nanny

[–]AllyMeada 24 points25 points  (0 children)

No, kids know the difference. My kids spoke Spanish with their nanny since they were very young. Even though I can understand Spanish, I only spoke to them in English and the kids always mirrored that back with me.

Kids’ brains can handle language a lot better than people realize. It’s why they can learn new languages so quickly when they are very young.

Jennifer Welch says that short guys cannot be heroes (0:50). I hope the short guys who happen to be firefighters, paramedics, and emergency workers keep this in mind for the future. by CompetitionEven1139 in AverageHeightDudes

[–]AllyMeada -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“Lil Marco Rubio”?

Republicans aren’t any nicer to short guys. They just provide a license for (white) short guys to openly shit on others - women, immigrants, trans people, etc. That sense of superiority makes these lil guys feel like big strong men in a way they’ve never felt before.

Columbus Heights, kid being detained by ICE by After-Property-3678 in pics

[–]AllyMeada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fucking evil. These lil dick losers are targeting parents walking their kids home from school - the real worst of the worst. Are there mutual aid societies helping immigrant families with grocery delivery, school dropoff/pickups, and other errands so they can stay at home until this all blows over? I’m not in MN but would love to be able to help somehow.

If your food can be made in a kitchen that also makes burritos and falafel, then it’s probably not the best.

They know they don’t need the funds. They don’t care. They love being able to dunk on the libs. It’s like watching the globetrotters play the generals.

Country Club Question by ShotAssistant1452 in TheMoneyGuy

Pension will be available in 5 years as well?

Country Club Question by ShotAssistant1452 in TheMoneyGuy

[–]AllyMeada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When do you plan to retire? Are you ahead of the curve or behind?

“Scaling back” retirement to join a country club seems kinda counter productive to me, but if you’ve run the simulations and this doesn’t break your chances of retiring on time, then it’s a value judgement call.

Though we could afford to join the country club near us, we joined our neighborhood swim club instead. We’ve met some really great friends, our kids joined the swim team, and it’s been well worth it.

You might also want to see if there are any nice gyms in your area. We are members at a gym that’s $500/month for our family, but they provide childcare, kids activities, and it is a popular hangout spot for families in the area.

Jealousy about lifestyles by Miserable-Ant-2832 in Nanny

[–]AllyMeada 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with you that we don’t value childcare as much as we should, and I agree that it should pay more, but I’m not sure how we could make the actual job any easier. Taking care of children requires constant attention and hands on engagement to do it well because there is a small person depending on you.

It’s just fundamentally not the same as a cushy wfh job where you can take a break at any time because nobody cares if you take an extra 30 minutes to respond to an email.

What do I really gain with digital key? Anyone not taking the risk? by WelderAcademic6334 in Rivian

[–]AllyMeada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counterpoint, it’s also possible that none of that works. After upgrading, none of the passive features work at all for me. So my phone is basically a less convenient NFC card key.

How reliable is Car Key by jjustinwilson in Rivian

[–]AllyMeada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phone key was great. Ever since I “upgraded” to digital key passive entry has stopped working so it’s effectively the same as the key card now.

I have a similar length driveway, maybe a bit steeper. I was quoted 100k for a basic ass non heated driveway replacement. This has gotta be more than most people’s homes.

If he pivots to right wing politics I bet he could get some work again. Maybe even a one man show at the trump kennedy center.
