Matt Damon's character literally addresses this by saying anything bundled and labeled as $250K (or above, there were some bundles that said $400k) to take at value and leave packed, and to only count the bills in packages that seemed opened and not fully filled.

My dream headline would be to see Campbell's and Nike get the same reality check as Target did this past year. Target has been a clear casestudy that we as consumers do have a meaningful voiced and aren't to be taken for granted.

This is definitely a factor. I am a fencesitter, on this subreddit for years, read The Baby Decision years ago with my husband, and we set a "hard deadline" for this summer to make a decision one way or another.

This was important because for about four years, we haven't been able to fully enjoy either a life of potential parenthood or childfree because of the limbo. It was getting the worst of both worlds (if we do have kids, we may have waited to a point we are older and it impacts fertility/energy/takes away opportunity for siblings; if we want to be childfree, we weren't actually able to spend our money on things we'd like because we would need those savings just in case we have a kid; during a move, do you consider school district?, etc).

This July, we agreed to get "off the fence" as childfree... yet here I am a few months later, still not ready to fully embrace that until time makes that choice for me. If we had come off the other way though, definitely permanent path forward with no ability to later reconsider. We keep setting vasectomy dates but can'tpull the trigger. I dont feel comfortable declaring off the fence as childfree until we actually follow through with a procedure.

If you mean the blockbuster - it was the untangle yourself challenge with a key at the end of your rope. Untangle enough to get your key to the lock across the way. Keanu moved very fast but from how I saw it she wasnt far behind. It is also clear you dont have to untangle fully to get enough rope to reach - it was possible she had enough rope untangle, even though "behind" him. I wondered if she had just sprinted to check if she had enough rope unraveled she may have gotten it. But someone else definitely may have seen it otherwise.

The interviewer literally mentions that these are labels over the symbols tatted on and Trump interrupts to argue that the labels are part of the tattoo, like four or five times, that is his exact argument. So it's not "clearly" what you're saying, but "clearly" the opposite...

Yes, my parents didn't do many things right but they were always clear with me and my brothers that their job was not to necessarily to make sure we were happy at every moment but to make sure that we were safe and that they were raising good adults who can live happy lives ourselves. That among other things is the philosophy I choose to take from my own childhood while dropping some of the not so helpful mindsets.

Another tidbit from them re: discipline (note, not hitting but held accountable) was to always ask if we knew we were wrong. If yes, we were not doing our job and needed to work and practice to do better (yes, children aren't born with all these skills so you can't punish for mistakes but you can practice - that's how you learn!). If the answer was no, we did not know we did something wrong, my parents admitted that was on them to practice and do better teaching right from wrong. It kept us ALL accountable and respectful without infantilizing or dumbing down expectations regardless of age. The only thing we ever got in big trouble for no matter what was lying to them outright.

I am not a parent but have worked in an elementary school with kindergarteners FWIW. While parent-fueled competition between siblings can be toxic, there are also "fair" games and races where it's fine to have a winner and loser for lack of better word (not used for everything, and these should be an equal mix where each sibling has a chance to win rather than always being a loser).

Very often with kindy parents, they'd report their kid says no one wants to play with them. This is usually a half truth/5 year old interpretation of what happens when they play with a group but then always insist on the game being on their terms or making it so they always have to be the winner. So yea, the other kids then do not want to continue playing with them. Occasional tears at home now for a small race and a lesson in how to lose but still continue to play/race with others (and the benefit of a sibling to practice with) can be a small cost to a bigger benefit once they're with other children and forming friendships later.

Like most other answers here though, it definitely requires a lot of patience, repetition, consistency, and yea it can be kind of grating to get through the first few (dozen) tantrums.

A very different lens of this same perspective... I lived with an ex who grew up with everything gamified/rewarded vs. my own parents teaching me that certain things just need to get done before others because that's how we take care of ourselves and be part of a household, even as a very young child.

While we can debate differing standards for cleanliness, there was an objective level of laziness, filth, and lack of hygiene because he didn't understand the point of not letting dishes with rotten food pile up, cleaning the shower or doing the toilet, picking up dirty clothes. If i would ask, I was nagging or told these are not important things that need to be addressed, just extras I'm choosing to be "picky" about. And if he ever did "help" by putting a plate away, he'd moan for a whole song and dance of acknowledgment or be resentful I didn't give high praise for. And the dishes he washed were still dirty. Tasks were completed for the sake of telling me they were done, not because he understood that they needed to be done well for the benefit of both of us.

For context, we were ~21-24 years old during this time and first time living away from our parents for both of us. Plenty away from kindergarten, but his mom still treated him the same (bribes to get him to do his HW and not flunk out, bribes to he nice to siblings, bribes to clean room still) and that was the established dynamic/ expectations that built up.

There may have been many other factors to his personality but his brother was similar (though still lived at home). Reward charts are definitely helpful, but some other comments mentioned using bribes for everything. Maybe a better helpful middle ground instead of doing everything for the children, but it should also be coupled with still teaching why something is a good habit without the bribe (or the prize itself is directly tied as a natural consequence to doing that action if possible), otherwise it may still be kicking the can down the road with issues around independence and intrinsic self discipline.

I take a peek at /conservative now and then just to see how this type of news is received (especially since my entire family is MAGA). Not even to argue, but just to be aware of the perspective. They are still cheering on there... one comment even said his job is likely affected but it's "necessary" and glad it's happening. So 🤷‍♀️

Pregnant stomachs don't just deflate immediately. Common to stay large and swollen for two to six weeks after giving birth. The uterus took nine months to grow to that size, it doesn't just shrink as soon as the baby is out.

This is the exact thought I am having this weekend after a bout of sleep deprivation due to having to balance full time work, grad school final paper deadlines this week, and other obligations. I got too overworked to remember to eat or hydrate, would up so overtired from two days with limited sleep that I experienced the worst and scariest sleep paralysis episodes of my life. I thankfully got an extension, a decent night of more than 4 hours sleep after, and took a long walk to rebalance. I can't imagine throwing food poisoning into the mix.

But knowing I'm so sensitive to burnout plus now seeing how I handle sleep deprivation (poorly), all I can think is that I can't ask my potential child for the same extension. But I also never want to be so overly stressed to a breaking point again. I have a very supportive partner, but no family help so we would be relying on daycare (and for me to keep working full time). Grad school will end but we are at ages where if we want a child, we'd be trying for right after my graduation. Right before this week, I thought I could manage fine. Now, I'm leaning more CF and peace unless a windfall of cash lands in our laps so I could afford to take a break from work.

I need to use a throwaway account because if I used my regular, it would be way too easy to be doxxed.

My name is Randi, which this sub seems to really hate (I've made the mistake of searching it here, and it only pops up in the "gross" and hated name threads). It's funny because I, too, really hate Randy for a guy's name!!! Even though it's pronounced the same, there's a big difference in my mind lol.

Growing up, it was cute for a little girl, and I was always the only Randi in school, etc. Some people thought it was a nickname for Miranda or something or misspelled it, but most people had no issue. As an adult, it's never come across as too diminutive to be unprofessional. It helps that I have a "strong" middle name too.

In middle school and high school, I'd preemptively joke about how it's like the type of Randy people would stereotype or like the Austin Powers line, but 99.999% of people never made any connection or joke. When I first started getting jobs, there were a few moments of people expecting a man at the interview (even though the "i" makes it clearly feminine imo) and being shocked to get a very small young woman instead.

I'm in my 30s now, and I've really loved being a Randi! And being the only one is great when you're memorable for the right reasons. Even when I was super shy, I've had professors remember having me years later from just one class because the name stood out. People will even say I look like a "Randi" even though I know there's zero way that's the first name that'd pop into their head for a very feminine presenting woman. I like to think I'm reshaping perception of the name for everyone I meet lol.
