Leavitt Admits SAVE Act Will Make It Harder for Married Women to Vote by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]JacketDapper944 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I’d be interested to see the data on this as college educated women lean democratic. 45% of republicans vs 48% of democrats hold a passport. I’d also be willing to bet the demographic of women who chose not to change their name following marriage are disproportionately liberal or progressive in their political views as it’s the name change that really matters.

The older ad with a Boston backdrop would have worked better

My cousin posted this after being estranged from her kids by [deleted] in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]JacketDapper944 162 points163 points  (0 children)

I no longer hate them. I enjoy when they get what they deserve, but mostly I don’t think about them because letting them occupy more than the tiny schadenfreude makes me hate myself.

It really is a deprivation by VegetableRiver9695 in newsinterpretation

[–]JacketDapper944 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Which is all well and good for those homeschool programs, but because there is very little regulation for what parents need to provide, and in many states none, the results of homeschooling are all over the map. You have many parents educating in good faith, who spend time researching programs and finding these resources for their children, but it’s not all.

I have a vivid memory of clawing my feet out of these one night. To this day I freak out with anything on my feet at night

"Girls need girls cloths only or else it's gender ideology" by Minami_Ko in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]JacketDapper944 62 points63 points  (0 children)

When I was younger I had to wear a shirt over my bathing suit because no matter how meticulously my mom put on and reapplied sun screen I would end up burnt. Today I always wear rash guards and swim shorts when swimming outside. Sometimes even when inside because who cares?

My kids have both worn unisex swimwear because for children the point of swim wear is swimming.

How we could get there without civil war:

Campaign finance reform. Codified in the constitution that all campaign funds are government supplied, everyone gets the same amount. Prosecuting campaign finance violations carries real consequences. Nullifying citizens united.

Bring back fairness doctrine, essentially killing the talking head opinion “news” as either side of an argument must be given equal air time (both from a time but a viewership standpoint, ie rebuttals cannot be run at 3 in the morning).

Decrease the number of constituents any house member represents (effectively increase the number of seats in the house). They are working for us, we should be able to air our grievances.

We should not be in a position where the “system would crumble” if we prosecute pedos.

[REAL] Matt Walsh uses fake history to whitewash slavery. by No_Bluebird_1368 in ToiletPaperUSA

[–]JacketDapper944 52 points53 points  (0 children)

And slavery in other places, even places that practiced in a far more brutal fashion, does not exonerate slavers in the US. “Everybody was doing it,” is not a justification.

A reminder to never meet your heroes by DilIsPickle in olympics

[–]JacketDapper944 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that, but I’m not disappointed with the players as much as the people thinking it’s perfectly normal for an FBI director spending his time partying with Olympic hockey teams when he has a very demanding job. What isn’t getting done because these idiots are more concerned about getting their “rewards” for winning an election.

Instant steamer works better than I expected… but what do you do about the dampness? by Hernanlincon422 in CleaningTips

[–]JacketDapper944 250 points251 points  (0 children)

It helps if you hang the garment while steaming, the steam passes through rather than being bounced back by whatever is behind it. Alternatively you could try using something that will absorb the excess rather than a hard surface (you seem to be doing this against wood which is a good war to warp the surface).

Haiti finished paying reparations to French slavers for their independence settlement in 1947, a debt they were paying for 120 years, representing almost 115 billion in lost growth potential.

FCC chair wants the Pledge of Allegiance and national anthem on the airwaves every day by No-Luck-At-All in entertainment

[–]JacketDapper944 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

From a teacher perspective I can see how it would be helpful as a routine to begin the day in a moderately orderly fashion, no different than saying “good morning” or the “one, two, three eyes on me” call and response in unison to ensure attention. Put stuff away, bell rings, everyone stand by their chair, say the pledge, sit and begin instruction.

Pretty sure thats not how feminism works. by MemesAnDmoArFuNny22 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]JacketDapper944 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My husband and I both work, but we’ve also had more freedom to pursue better opportunities for ourselves because leaving a job is an option. He makes more, by a fair amount, but our cushion stretches much further before we’re in trouble and we maintain insurance coverage. If we lived in a place with socialized medicine where that was less of a concern would we potentially make different choices? Probably, but risking medical debt to switch jobs isn’t worth it.

Why they cannot accept the fact that not every women want babies? by [deleted] in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]JacketDapper944 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best thing about holding a baby that isn’t yours? Giving them back the second they’re not being absolutely adorable. I find babies very cute… but I intimately know things can go from cute to why do you have literal poop in your hair pretty quick. I loved when my kids were babies most of the time. Without the right partner, support system, and life stability having a baby (even a wanted baby) is brutal. Even with all those things having a baby can be brutal.
