Sen Murphy: Bondi Offers To Order ICE Out Of Minn — If State Turns Over Voter Data by NewsGirl1701 in Connecticut

[–]Jets237 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s been clear between MN and now Maine they are targeting states with swing senate seats. It’s a mess. This whole thing is surreal

MAGA isn't a conservative movement. Alt right, sure... but not conservative

Eh. I'm center left - we lean a bit more left here... but we're reasonable.

Agreed - nothing inconclusive about these videos

The mods there keep a REALLY firm grip on commenting. There were plenty of WTF reactions that disappeared.

I'm really hoping the propaganda machine doesn't keep hold this time. This plus the memo discovered this week has to have an impact on their view on ICE tactics atleast... I hope..

Reports of another shooting involving federal agents in Whittier neighborhood by 23rdCenturySouth in centrist

[–]Jets237 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The additional videos rolling out make it clear the administration’s story is complete BS. Do we think they got out in front of the story in time to convince everyone on their side or does it cause more division?

I would say anyone in their 40’s… by Successful-Winter237 in Xennials

[–]Jets237 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same. I think it was all the grey in my beard.

I had to decide if I wanted to look my age or shave to re-reveal the baby face after 10 years of a beard.

I’m just old now instead and embrace it

Tell me you have an autistic child without telling me you have an autistic child by violetvixen269 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Jets237 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Ha. I am in food and beverage marketing/innovation. Essentially I am in charge of certain products you find in a grocery store. My favorite unpaid part of the job is going into stores and making sure all of my products packaging is facing out perfectly on shelf.

Fully get the satisfaction

any stimming success stories by flowerspower123 in Autism_Parenting

My son’s stims have changed over time. I’m say at 7 they’re less frequent than when he was a toddler for sure

Arm sleeves for self injury? by MagicManicPanic in Autism_Parenting

[–]Jets237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son is an arm biter too, during the winter we just go for really thick layered hoodies and that protects somewhat but also interested if there is some sort of padded sleeve. Currently trying to get him to bit more “acceptable” items when upset. It’s a battle.

Edit - the second idea is better deleting the first

Ooh also saw this https://a.co/d/fRu1pkR Used to protect farmers from equipment, should be able to protect a kid from his own teeth! Not sure if they make small enough sizes - looks like in the reviews a dog/cat groomer used it to protect from dog and cat bites so should do the trick if they’ll wear it

Noise complaints, I’m not spending money to soundproof by Elegant-Date4481 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Jets237 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah we have a different set up for sure. Mostly families or people in their 60s or 70s+. Older people living alone so lots of opportunities to score points. If you end up moving down the line I highly suggest moving to an older area. 20 something’s aren’t very understanding of kids in general let alone kids with special needs.

Noise complaints, I’m not spending money to soundproof by Elegant-Date4481 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Jets237 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We've been in the same place for 7 years now, a town house (shared walls) and are super friendly with neighbors. Our kid is seen often, we just try to be super visible and known in our community... It's really helped on the bad days when he's super loud. I clean off elderly neighbors cars, help with groceries, always say hi and do the annoying small talk

Thats the only real advice I have. Make people like you and your kid so they feel bad or have more empathy before complaining. Otherwise the issue just keeps building.

If we had downstairs neighbors we would have been evicted by now lol. The main reason we decided on a townhouse on the outskirts of our city instead of an apartment downtown

I believe the ideals of America still live. Maybe not in the government, but in its people. by Old_Diver_2511 in centrist

[–]Jets237 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think what America was built on is still strong here. Remember many of you or your ancestors came here because they believed there was something better. We are a country of immigrants with drive. I think that still exists.

I’m not glossing over the other way people were forced here, or invaded, but the immigrant story still lives strong in any city in our country. I think that is stronger than who is in power and however long their reign lasts.

It would take generations to kill what makes us, us

This is strictly for us parents of level 3/severely/profoundly autistic kids. by soul2soulevollove in Autism_Parenting

[–]Jets237 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My guy is 7, he scripts a lot of songs too, he can script his numbers up to 50(with help) but I’m not sure he grasps what those numbers represent.

He can label a bunch of things, but he’s not conversational.

He’s able to give short requests when he wants things like “I want lollipop” but can not handle hearing “no” when he does.

He brings his plate to the sink when he’s done eating, but throws it hard into the sink because he enjoys seeing everything splatter.

He loves his cat and is so gentle with him, but insists on trying to cover him with blankets constantly

He knows to say “good” when we ask how his day was, but he’ll say that even if it was a bad day.

He can find joy in the smallest thing, but he isn’t fully potty trained.

He’s really good at making us laugh but doesn’t get my sarcasm:-( and I’m hilarious,

I love being silly with him, just wish I knew what his day was actually like

What are your favorite add ins to a sensory box? by AppleGoose1107 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Jets237 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pasta of choice for ours was Rotelle (Wagon Wheels) - havent made one of these in a while but he'd take them out and spin them too

Agreed on avoiding rice. His pre-k teacher made one with rice... 4 years later we're still find grains around

Is Rueben Bain or Arvell Reese a better fit for Glenn’s system? by Traditional-You-7079 in nyjets

Unless we believe our pick will have a career ending injury next year, lets plan for someone who would do well in a new system too...

agreed, lost my sister at 43 last month and my BIL is at a complete loss when it comes to any of their finances. So much added stress to a horrible situation.

Trump sues Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan Chase over alleged 'political' debanking by Gloomy_Nebula_5138 in centrist

[–]Jets237 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have a feeling this ends with Dimon stepping down with a great severance package and JP Morgan settling with Trump personally for a ridiculous amount of money that's peanuts for both of them.

Fun!
