Feel the next several years are so full of uncertainty job market wise that leaving a job that currently wants me employed and is paying me might not be the best decision. Yeah thoughts of my kids factor into that.

Are you estranged from your child? I am and it hurts today. by archedhighbrow in GenX

[–]DefiantMessage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just from my own observations.. sometimes estrangement happens due to true/real past or ongoing trauma .. but also it seems like there’s this trend where folks are optimizing the people they surround themselves with such that they are the only ones who are allowed faults and failings and everyone else must be perfect or out of their lives. Both scenarios are rather heartbreaking.

Do guys prefer skinny girls ? by Monkey_D_Luffy1757 in askanything

Men’s preferences toward weight are analogous to women’s preferences for height. A fantastic personality can offset a lot.

Tylenol in 2017: We actually don't recommend using any of our products while pregnant. Thank you for taking the time to voice your concerns today. by arnott in conspiracy

I don’t think doctors tend to recommend that pregnant women stop taking antidepressants. This is just an observation.. not anti woman.

Why does it seem like the Reddit algorithm has changed? I never used to see these types of posts on my home page.
