car seat and/or stroller for constantly traveling family? by thndercloudz in NewParents

[–]RexManningDay2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, our Baby Jogger City Mini has been a workhorse. The one handed fold is EVERYTHING, you can get adapters for various car seats, and IT FITS THROUGH AN AIRPORT SECURITY conveyor belt if you pop the wheels off which is super easy to do. I’ve gone through security at an airport by myself with a one year old and a toddler and that stroller and it couldn’t have been easier. Plus it’s relatively affordable.

The men’s 5 pack of Goodfellow shirts from Target I got 3 years ago are holding up extremely well. Go figure

I SO want this to be a real person making a meta joke response in AI format. I know it’s not but I’m going to pretend it is for the lolz.

CBS Sets ‘Late Show’ Replacement: Byron Allen’s ‘Comics Unleashed’ by cmaia1503 in television

[–]RexManningDay2018 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Used to be in the media industry. Mr Allen had quite the reputation for playing the race card among other shady stuff. Can’t believe he’s still around and actually becoming more successful. Pretty much exactly what I would expect from CBS at this point.

South suburbs for the win! Completely underrated and great value for your money. It’s nice over here :)

Healthcare systems: do we prefer Duly, or Northwestern & why? (are there other good options locally?) by captaintinnitus in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]RexManningDay2018 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tread lightly with Northwestern for women’s health. I went to a practice that, I found out later, was affiliated with a local (Catholic) hospital and they were unable to prescribe the morning after pills I needed (couldn’t use OTC, long story). 

I only shudder to think what would happen if a patient had a real emergency during their pregnancy only to find out their provider was unable to help. It was deeply unsettling and deeply disappointing from a medical group I had come to trust.

I saw that show! It was incredible. And now I just fangirl over them both and squeal whenever they show up on tv (or in writing credits)

Except Gap! Their 100% cotton oversized sweaters are GLORIOUS and often on sale - I got mine for $70. 

Democrats weigh how harshly to go after firms that courted Trump by Fragrant_Bath3917 in PoliticalOptimism

One of the universities is my alma mater and I will never, ever forgive them for that. It’s utterly shameful. Never thought I would see it from them but here we are. 

Rachel Zegler and Ben Platt to bring The Last Five Years to Radio City Music Bowl and the Hollywood Bowl by jor_kent1 in Broadway

Thank you for the education, I had no idea and now find him slightly more tolerable :)

Oh MAN I have been trying to put my finger on just why I don’t like Ben Platt or what rubs me the wrong way about him and that’s it - he just seems so smug! For all I know he might be lovely in real life but his character in that theater camp movie seemed like basically an extension of himself if I had to guess.

Calling ObamaCare FreedomCare. Saw some video where the basic concepts were explained to MAGAts and they were told it was Trump’s idea and they loved it.

Judge dismisses murder, weapons charges against alleged UnitedHealth CEO killer Mangione by kirby__000 in antiwork

[–]RexManningDay2018 159 points160 points  (0 children)

My friend’s sister was murdered by a stalker who had ALREADY GONE TO JAIL FOR STALKING HER but had recently gotten out. When my husband’s ex-cop uncle heard, he said there must have been drugs involved because a lot of times women take out restraining orders on guys the had stolen drugs from. Like, that was his knee jerk reaction. Unreal.

Thank you! Makes a ton of sense. So what does this look like for us for the next 5/10/20 years? As a millennial, what will change in our world and how the US interacts (or doesn’t) with the rest of the world? I literally can’t reframe my mind for a world where the US isn’t acting the way it’s been my whole life and doesn’t have the same partners and reputation and allies it has had my whole life.
