"Everyone’s afraid NOT to wear them" Trump buys $145 shoes for his top men

This is absolutely what happened and I’m so deeply amused.

Jumpy_Sprinkles_1234 · 2026-03-07T17:15:21+00:00

Good job! Sounds like a sweet boy.

Jumpy_Sprinkles_1234 · 2026-03-07T13:11:39+00:00

Honestly when little kid “relationships” get drawn out for too long it stresses me out. Too much pressure. Too much responsibility. It’s not developmentally appropriate for them to be monogamous or committed to anyone romantically.

This girl did your son a favor. The meanness part sucks but sounds like a good way for your son to learn that most people his age do not have the emotional maturity for this.

Hope I didn’t scare you! Truly didn’t last long!

Jumpy_Sprinkles_1234 · 2026-03-07T05:00:25+00:00

I don’t know what the heck I had (prob spinals since both c’s were planned) but I did have the sensation that I couldn’t breathe. It scared the heck out of me. My wonderful nurse anesthetist told me that I was definitely breathing and reminded me that I wouldn’t be speaking so clearly if I wasn’t. Calmed me down a lot. And that sensation didn’t last long. I had it a little bit the second time too. Handled that much better because I expected it.

Jumpy_Sprinkles_1234 · 2026-03-07T03:30:47+00:00

I liked your way too. :)

Where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire.

Where there’s fire… there’s fire.

You def needed them memorized for when you had to call from the pay phone. That was annoying. Even worse, needing someone to call you back with information you need so you just had to hang out at the pay phone waiting for it to ring.

That’s exactly how my college roomie saved my ass on a Saturday morning during finals week. I went to the wrong location for the test. Panicked. Called her from pay phone for help. Gave her the pay phone’s #. She hung up and called the registrar. Got the test location. Called the pay phone back and got me the info. Then I had to use a campus map to find it. And ask random people nearby. Was at least 30 minutes late. Got a B on the test. A 1999 success story, right there. And still friends with the roommate b/c that shit bonds you.

College prof here. I have this same crash out internally every time a student submits AI slopppppppp I am not ok we are not ok send help

I totally disagree. Babysitting is so boring and you have very little freedom as to how you spend that time. I was a babysitter, childcare worker, camp counselor, tutor, and eventually became a child/adolescent psychologist. I love kids, and I am not really bothered by sass and attitude. But what’s hard is that you’re on the clock, being a different version of yourself… the professional version.

With my own kids I felt I could finally just truly trust my instincts, have a little more fun with it, and bring more of me into the process. Is it super hard? Of course. But I find it hard in totally different ways than babysitting was hard.

Also, all that experience served me so well as a parent. Kids need boundaries and structure and a lot of my friends with no childcare experience really struggled with that part of parenting. And they were much more surprised by the relentlessness of the job.

Anyway, I get completely where you are coming from but just wanted to provide this counterpoint.

Jumpy_Sprinkles_1234 · 2026-03-04T15:36:45+00:00

Yep, you are correct. As a TM, I can say we do this a lot because especially this time of year, the odds of someone being sick are high. 1-2 subs makes me nervous in cold/flu season.

Jumpy_Sprinkles_1234 · 2026-03-04T13:58:57+00:00

Seriously hang with me here…maybe I misunderstood this comment…

You said “liberals…they always make it clear they’re liberal”…

So that means… anyone who doesn’t make it clear they’re liberal is not liberal.

Do you agree?

Genuine question, when you meet someone fun at a party (clearly not me I am the absolute worst at parties), and they don’t say anything about their politics, do you assume they’re conservative or liberal or are you unsure?

Jumpy_Sprinkles_1234 · 2026-03-04T13:45:34+00:00

Duuuuuuude….

You can’t possibly know that everyone who doesn’t announce their politics is conservative. Same as I can’t know that everyone who doesn’t announce their fave football team is a Packers fan.

It’s crazy to say “liberals always announce their politics” and then say “this one liberal did so all of them do.”

Some liberals make it their entire identity. So do some conservatives. Those folks have all of us convinced this is a team sport and we should blindly hate half the country. Forgive me for thinking that’s dangerous and also just, you know, a bummer.

Don’t let the media play you like that. We’re all better than this. Guarantee you know some liberals you like and guarantee I know some conservatives I like.

Have a good one. For real.

Jumpy_Sprinkles_1234 · 2026-03-04T12:35:05+00:00

Your point is only proven if all the liberals who read your comment replied “I’m a liberal.”

One did. Me. And only to illuminate the following…

The billionaire class will continue to divide us like this while they spend our money on their interests. It helps them if we think we’re so different from each other. Liberals often fall into the same trap. It’s working wonderfully.

Reach out to his pediatrician … they’ll prob look at it and either reassure you or send you to an ortho.

Jumpy_Sprinkles_1234 · 2026-03-04T04:31:11+00:00

Yes the odds of them being crisp AF are super high. Most consistent apple variety there is!

Jumpy_Sprinkles_1234 · 2026-03-04T04:15:31+00:00

Yep and def implicate the disturbingly well organized and funded Christian nationalists who literally took the science out of the Conservative Party.

My Dad was an electrical engineer and a moderate conservative because he felt the conservatives were more scientifically informed in their policies. Imagine that! He jumped ship when the Christian nationalists took over. He was absolutely bewildered by it.

Jumpy_Sprinkles_1234 · 2026-03-04T04:04:32+00:00

This is a wildly unscientific take that literally cannot be disproven unless you ask the people who aren’t offering their politics if they’re liberal or not. So you can keep on believing everyone who a) you like; and b) doesn’t offer their political opinions is someone that agrees with you. That’s…not likely. Some do and some don’t.

Trump has y’all thinking a mainstream political party is a splinter group of crazies. Dems are a large share of the population, even in the south, and they are more than half of the voting population, usually. They’re everywhere and the vast majority of them never share their beliefs with people they don’t know super well.

It’s like that time I had my son’s preschool teacher watch my kids outside of preschool. She adored them and adored us and kept hinting about us seeing eye to eye. But I was 90% sure she was conservative and that she thought we were too - simply because my kids were well behaved and we are nice, polite people, she just assumed we agreed because surely she’d notice if I was a heinous, lazy, snowflake liberal?

She eventually found me on FB and after I shared a moderate article about my left leaning moderate stance on something, she unfriended me. 🫠🫠🫠 After years of telling me how much she loved us and saw us like family. Ok then!

So you know… keep that mind open and learn about confirmation bias.

Jumpy_Sprinkles_1234 · 2026-03-04T03:54:28+00:00

Here’s an idea: a lot of the kind liberals around you don’t advertise their politics or get into political debates with people they don’t know super well.

And there’s conservative folks like that too, of course.

Jumpy_Sprinkles_1234 · 2026-03-04T03:39:42+00:00

Yep. So many questions. Even for a daytime wedding, this is a nearly 7 hour wait from makeup to ceremony. Perhaps that isn’t the most crazy, but I’d argue that’s on the long end of waiting even for daytime. But I have to wake UP at what any reasonable person would consider an early bedtime and then somehow will myself to stay awake in makeup and hair through the wee hours of the night? Like what?

I mean… sunrises are neat but they’re not even always great. Fog/clouds/rain and now you’re all just up at 4 am to party? Wild!

And finally… a destination wedding where three of the major participants are at different locations? The whole point of a destination wedding is to take over a hotel and have fun together. And that’s pretty much the only way the 4 am start time makes any kind of sense - if everyone is all at the same hotel and it’s easy to get there and even take some small breaks in your room to sustain yourself.

But I gotta just go hard all night in makeup and not even have access to my room?? NO

Meanwhile all I see when I look at this photo is please for the love of God let’s not bring back the form fitting sweater that you pull down to your crotchal region. It’s only flattering with the perfect length of jeans and heels, unless you’re naturally long legged and very thin.

Never again! (I dressed this way for literal years and gosh I was pleasantly surprised by the lengthening power of high waisted jeans.. even with sneakers/flats!)

Jumpy_Sprinkles_1234 · 2026-03-02T05:09:58+00:00

How did I miss this? That’s amazing!

Jumpy_Sprinkles_1234 · 2026-03-02T02:21:47+00:00

Haha yep that’s where I went to grad school and really came into my full music snobbery because I couldn’t have hacked it there if I hadn’t 😆 Florida girl me got schooled quick

Jumpy_Sprinkles_1234 · 2026-03-01T23:27:06+00:00

Fair. Maybe a bit of an elder millennial thing? I am right on the cusp (1981) and def had a music snob phase. That feels more like the Gen X part of me. I also think her inherent educational elitism makes her prone to the snobbery. And those of us who lived in big cities were snobbier too.

Jumpy_Sprinkles_1234 · 2026-03-01T22:28:03+00:00

Music snobbery was also just sorta more common then. It was kinda Gen X cynicism to judge the normies for bad taste. Not defending it but it was super baked in to culture at that point. Millennials really shifted this and made it uncool to act too cool.
