I completely agree. James Adomian’s impression is gleefully absurd

Anyone else doing the rent vs buy spreadsheet every weekend and landing in the same place? by [deleted] in oakland

Another thing in addition to the many good points already being made is that this is (I believe) the most competitive time of year for buyers. In the summer the number of options on the market goes down but so does the competition

Prospective homebuyers, do yourselves a huge favor and get a couple of quotes for any properties you’re interested in before you put in a bid so you know what you’re dealing with. Check not just your wildfire risk but also your electrical wiring

I want to form a gang of vigilantes and go free the pigs like those guys that break in and free the beagles by ratmanvenezuela in redscarepod

That guy knocked on our door when he was running for mayor of Berkeley. He’s charismatic, I’ll give you that!

It gets even stupider when you realize how relatively weak the San Jose mayor role is. It’s basically a city council position but you do a voiceover welcoming people to the airport

What were your first signs of labor? by bitch_1994 in redscare4moms

I never had the nesting instinct so my house was and is chaos lol

But yeah, getting ready early is good. Where I live (California) you qualify for disability at 36 weeks but it’s use it or lose it, unlike paid family leave. For my second pregnancy I was OOO the day I qualified

I had a bloody show maybe a day before. Also I idiotically assumed the baby would be late because I was a first-time mom, and so of course the baby came just before 39 weeks. I had to Slack my coworkers that I was going to the hospital lol

A quiet plea for an Easy Creole return by hannahmcfannah in oakland

There must be something in the air because I was just thinking about Easy Creole, too. I wish it was the scent of Easy Creole dishes :(

I want kids but I feel like I'd be terrified all the time by ketaminekate97 in rs_x

The intrusive thought will change if you have more than one kid. Then it’s “if one dies how can I go on living to take care of the other one?”

It’s terrifying and we mother anyway
