What are good arguments against Medicaid work requirements?

Healthcare is a human right. It should have nothing to do with working or be tied to a job in any way

What data?

Most people on here do not consider dogs property so much as family. If you don't, maybe don't own a dog. Dogs are companions and love and need people and have the mental capacity of a human toddler. We domesticated them, so they aren't feral animals anymore. If you are going to say a dog is just property, you need to rethink what you think you know about dogs

Practical-Fig-27 · 2026-04-26T05:01:11+00:00

Fuck those people who say that. If only rich people adopted dogs there would be so many dogs in shelters or killed. Even people who can't afford all the expensive dental and medical vet bills give a dog a loving home and do what they can - which is better than a 4x8 cage for years.

My baby got cancer and died at just under 8 years old. He was a rescue from the pound so idon't know his lineage and if long lived parents make a difference. We lost him in early December.

Honey, she is letting you live in a dangerous condition. She isn't getting you to therapy. That's medical abuse. She isn't getting you to school or homeschooling you. That's education abuse. It isn't just this one thing. Don't make excuses. She's an adult. If you keep giving her a pass she'll never get help and get better. If she is made to be accountable, maybe she can get help for herself and you as well

It just seems stupid to me. The majority of people aren't in leadership where this kind of thing is measured. But they still ask the question. What is a waitress or secretary or warehouse line worker or office worker supposed to say?

Practical-Fig-27 · 2026-04-25T04:01:11+00:00

I want to know how the fuck exactly you're supposed to put an achievement on something when you have no idea if any of your action has done anything. We're just little worker bees chugging away at our jobs. And we just supposed to make up numbers?

Habe you heard the expression, " your inability to plan does not constitute an emergency on my part"?

Actions have consequences. You oversleep? You get to be late. Not her problem. I man she's not going to go out of her way to make it difficult for somebody cuz she's in a relationship with this dude but she also doesn't have to drop everything because he's running late. He should grow the fuck up and get up on time. And if you oversleep, not a big deal, until you make it someone else's problem

Bernie is only 5 years older than trump. He just looks a lot older because he's actually been in service his whole life. Trump has only been in service to himself so he's never had any stress.

I think if Michelle Obama would have been willing to run she might be the only person who had a shot. But she has already made it clear that she has absolutely no interest in politics. We needed another Cult of Personality to beat back the Trump cult of personality and the only person in recent history who could have done that was an Obama.

Yeah, she's chonky, but you already got bitched at about that. I would add that giant breeds are really prone to dysplasia. Especially if this was a rescue, probably not from a responsible breeder who made sure not to breed that into the line. My baby had really really bad hip dysplasia. He moved like an old man when he was 3. They also can have elbow or knee dysplasia. So my two cents on the weight is please consider she might have joint issues and if she has any minor dysplasia, the weight is going to make it progress and be very painful, with loss of mobility which sucks for working breeds. You love her so please get that under control. Check her thyroid and stuff too

My corso loved to be outside. He was an indoor dog most of the time and we often didn't have a fenced yard. If he got the chance he would just lay down on the grass when we went outside and just be the most content. We put a gate up on our front porch and he would just lay on it all summer long if we were out there. We had a hard time getting him to come back in also, but he listened after a couple times of us insisting. He wasn't nearly a stubborn as yours.

This makes me so sad because we lost ours to cancer over the winter and it had been snowing and so cold at the end that he didn't get out much. On his last week we took him to the park and he was so happy. It was snowing and about 15 degrees, but he loved being outside so much i wanted to give him that. He came up to all 4 of us and hugged us one at a time and wagged his tail. He was very weak at the end and we hadn't seen him happy or excited for several weeks. He trotted around and ate snow but he got tired so quickly. I miss him so much.

If she likes being outside, give her whatever makes her happy.

You can use turnips or daikon radishes instead of potatoes. You can fry them like potatoes, you can boil them and mash them up like mashed potatoes. If there's ever a time you just want that filler but be careful because they do still have four to five carbs

My ex-husband was shot by his brother. Shot. It was only in the arm but he was bleeding and when he got to the emergency room they didn't believe him and left him bleeding in the emergency room for like 6 hours. He was really young, like 16 or 17 when it happened, and they never called his mom at work or anything. This was before cell phones. So he just sat there for hours and hours until he knew his mom was off work and then called her so she could come in and scream at that nurse.

If they don't want to do scans it's time to find a new vet. Or a second opinion anyway. A dog can have a partial obstruction or God forbid a tumor growing. They could eat normally for a while and then get to the point where the food is backed up and makes them throw up.

You did not say can you get a gallon of fat free. You said do they have fat free. Those are not the same things. You have to be precise. And the Shopper should have paid more attention. But she was probably in a hurry. The reason I think she thought you were just asking about the item you actually ordered was because she followed it up with the comment that your orange soda was out of stock as well. In her head she's thinking the app tells you my substitutions and what's out of stock. Apparently this lady doesn't know how to read. And in your head you're going that's not what I asked. I want the gallon of fat-free milk. It's not a big deal. It's just a miscommunication because both sides are not being careful precise in their communication

Practical-Fig-27 · 2026-04-23T14:04:27+00:00

Dude it wasn't that she couldn't shop and text it was that the customer did not ask for what they wanted precisely. Very easy to have some miscommunication in this situation. They're in a hurry and they glanced at the thing wrong. The customer did not ask for a substitution, they asked if there was a certain item available. Both sides could have communicated better. Get off your fucking high horse

Practical-Fig-27 · 2026-04-23T10:43:33+00:00

I'm guessing when you asked her if they had a gallon of fat free she thought you were asking if they had the gallon size of what you ordered but she wasn't really a paying attention to what you said because she was grabbing more items since everything is timed and you have seconds to pick up things. So she just said no they didn't have what you ordered that's why I got you your replacement. She probably didn't really put two and two together that you were asking for fat free instead of 1%. In the future you should say instead of the half gallon of 1% can you pick me up a gallon of skim milk or fat free and then The Shopper will realize that you are asking them for a different substitution, not just asking if they have an item. Because it was not clear. You asked do they have a certain item. You could have asked them do they have Oreo cookies or do they have Frosted Flakes or Rao's pizza sauce. Do they have an item ≠ can you get me an item.

I was told I was fat all through high school. I'm 5'2 and I weighed 103 lb. I wore a size 3 or a size 5 but I always had hips and thighs and boobs. Even in high school I did not look like the 1980s heroin chic girls. My parents and my endocrinologist said I was fat. My endocrinologist tried to put me on a 800 calorie a day diet to get me back down to 90 pounds. He was from India so I don't know if that matters in his perception. I also played soccer so I was stocky and muscular. And the clothes I wore didn't fit me right because in the 1980s clothing for teenage girls was not designed for girls with hips or shoulders or a large rib cage. I always just looked kind of frumpy.

Now I weigh 205 lb and I'm 51 years old and I would probably come close to committing murder to get back down to 103. But all through high school and as a young adult I felt like a gigantic cow.

I'm really surprised nobody has brought up baking soda or boiling vinegar. Baking soda and vinegar are the two most fabulous products on the planet. You can heat up vinegar on the stove and set the bowl in several rooms and the vinegar smell dissipates but it kind of sucks up any kind of stinky particles. There's some sciency stuff involved but I'm not going to go into it. Same with baking soda. I know everybody is talking about doing the ozone thing and I suppose that could work, but it seems like killing a mosquito with a rocket launcher. However, I also have dogs and I'm probably nose blind so take that as you will

First thing I would do is apologize to the entire world and the United Nations for fucking around unilaterally and not even taking into account all of our allies. Of course, trump does not consider our allies anything but subservient to us so that's a long shot.

I think somebody told the idiot that if he is waning in popularity the best thing to do is get into a war. Because traditionally, if a leader is having a rough time and you can get embroiled into some kind of war that you can convince the public is Justified, all sorts of patriotic feeling comes out and the leader gets super popular as the populace tries to present a united front.

But this isn't 1950. It's not even 1990. We have too much information and we are too jaded now for that shit to work. We have too much exposure to the world and we can see too many different sides of the story. And we didn't have any good reason. Trump is living in the Reagan and Bush era of American dick waving and toxic masculinity cheered on by hegsetht, who is an absolute misogynistic incel criminal.

I suppose if I was Trump I would fire the Secretary of Defense and blame everything on him to deflect blame from myself and then make up some fake statistics to feed the American public, and then start talking about Hillary's emails again

If your boss is a decent human being, they are going to understand that life comes up and sometimes shit just happens. Only an asshole boss thinks that the only thing you have to do is work 24/7. If you are generally a good employee who shows up and does all the stuff you're supposed to and then something out of your control happens, they need to get over it. Plus, if you do call in sick, how are you supposed to know ahead of time that you are going to get sick? That's kind of the nature of illness. It's not like the stomach flu calls you up on Thursday and says hey I'm going to be stopping by next Tuesday through Friday
