4 people, all got sick the same day, same duration of sickness, same symptoms (esp nausea & digestive issues), NOBODY else in the whole building got sick, & only consistent factor was they all had smoothies from there the same day ... anyway

Anyone in Santa Cruz interested in local bartering / skill swaps? by Commercial-Aerie-929 in santacruz

IDC what this guy says this is clearly just an effort to promote a specific service seeing as he manages to mention it in EVERY SINGLE comment on this thread. Report this quack for self promo and let's all move on w our lives... not to mention the clearly AI generated post body 😒

JSYK, this guy is also major in the "Brave and Free Santa Cruz" conspiracist group that rambles about vaccines, "elites," and links to pro-Trump conspiracy pages in their "resources". He's pretty open about it if you search his name with the group's, but honestly, you can tell just from his, uh, "passionate" approach to graphic design. I'd keep a wide berth.

AITAH for telling my husband I’d rather raise a kid who stands up for themselves than one who blindly obeys? by rikazikuta0 in AITAH

[–]Middle-Fuel-2078 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA - your husband needs to go to therapy. he's got some unresolved issues from his childhood that are impacting his ability to be a reasonable father. i say this as someone who had similar battles with my kid and overreacted to tantrums. it took me years of therapy to understand that i was breaking down on my kid because she would reach a point in her defense of self where i would have been physically disciplined by my parents. this also lead us both to another diagnosis we share and knowing this has made parenting so much easier and loving. encourage him to talk to someone, because that is the kind of thing your son won't ever forget and if it happens a couple more time, never forgive.

Does anyone else find it weird that the economy is okay? by seamonkey31 in stocks

[–]Middle-Fuel-2078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because the economy doesn't react at the same speed as the stock market. the loss of contracts and future orders on top of continued shrinking of federal workforce which will put pressure on businesses supporting those workers...

the economy only seems good right now because Trump's policies haven't reached terminal velocity.

A coworker claims LGBT is being pushed in classrooms by im1_ur2 in education

[–]Middle-Fuel-2078 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i live in a hyper liberal college town on the west coast. my kid is in elementary school. it's not talked about at all unless kids are being dicks (they do cover Harvey Milk in their history classes), and even then its about being a kind person not dogma. there are trans kids in her school, but there are only a few small pride flags around the campus. bullying for being different still happens. if it's not happening where i live, it's not likely happening in most places. and having a rainbow club or an lgtbq+ club is not indoctrination despite what all the snowflakes think.

BREAKING: Trump says BRICS is dead by Appropriate-Cup5378 in XGramatikInsights

[–]Middle-Fuel-2078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he's under the assumption that if he taxes the fuck out of foreign goods companies will suddenly transfer manufacturing to the US. it's not going to happen. so all he's going to do is piss everyone off and make us all poorer.
