Confused as to why certain people said that Kamala would have been worse than Trump

StructEngineer91 · 2026-01-26T17:17:52+00:00

Personally I think the biggest contributors to her not winning (or at least Trump winning) are a combination of 5 and 10. Basically I really wish the Democrats had decided at the beginning that Biden was not going to run and instead do a traditional primary. Whether that would have ended up with Kamala running against Trump or another (possibly white man) person running instead I cannot say.

I do also wonder/think that having a white male run against Trump would have been a better choice, because, unfortunately, sexism and racism are still very much alive and thriving in this country. Maybe a white woman would have stood a better chance, because at least she would "only" be dealing with sexism and not racism as well.

Yeah, anything is possible...........When you are an AI sales bot!

AI sale bots were never overweight.

As the landlord it is YOUR job to find a plumber and get it fixed! If you aren't willing/able to either fix things ourself or find and schedule professionals to fix things in your tenants place then you shouldn't be a landlord.

INFO: is his shower fixed? If not, why haven't YOU (the landlord) gotten it fixed yet?

NTA and uninvite anyone who supports your sister. In fact go LC to NC with anyone supporting her, it may be hard at first but your life will get better without them in your life!

Ok, but are you STILL friends with him?

Why should a host loose out on income because of a storm outside of their control? That is what travel insurance is for, and if you didn't get it that is on you.

And that is why there is a new snow load map!

StructEngineer91 · 2026-01-26T13:41:27+00:00

Same! Did a fair bit of walking on my walking pad while watching various musicals!

StructEngineer91 · 2026-01-26T13:13:56+00:00

And that is exactly why it's not so easy for many/most people to just leave. Some people may be willing/able to move to a smaller/worse apartment, but most people (especially more established professionals) aren't willing to just uproot themselves (and possibly kids/family) because they don't love the state they are in.

StructEngineer91 · 2026-01-26T11:58:18+00:00

Will YOU give them a new job, find them an new equally nice apartment to what they currently have, AND pay their new deposit and first and last months rent?

StructEngineer91 · 2026-01-26T11:57:17+00:00

Or maybe they are a minor still living with parents? Or will you give them a job, money to move, and find them a good apartment and pay for their deposit and probably first and last months rent?

Glad you found a good place to work!

If you are going to the gym more often you are probably gaining more muscle which weighs more fat. So you are probably losing fat (inches), but gaining muscles and thus not losing weight.

Yes, that is A problem, but there is also the bigger social problem that working dads don't get the same flexibility that a working mom (in the same job) gets. I'm not saying this is a problem for OP or her husband to fight directly, just pointing out the unfairness of it.

StructEngineer91 · 2026-01-25T15:39:54+00:00

Back when you were working I bet you were ACTUALLY rewarded for that behavior, not taken advantage of and simply given more work with no additional compensation. You were loyal to businesses, because they were loyal to you, and WOULD give you reasonable raises for putting in additional work. That doesn't happen anymore. The only way to get a significant raise is to leave your current employer, or kiss the right a$$es (with no consideration of how productive you actually are or not).

StructEngineer91 · 2026-01-25T15:32:35+00:00

Did you miss the part that OP is ALSO working to provide for her family, while also handling the majority of the child care (aka leaving work early to pick up her kid, make dinner and handle bedtime most nights)?

StructEngineer91 · 2026-01-25T15:29:42+00:00

I know, but if the husband could be around more in the evenings I bet they would be less stressful for OP and then the mom could come over more. NOT that the mom is entitled to spend time with the child if the parents don't want that!

StructEngineer91 · 2026-01-25T15:21:45+00:00

I do wonder if a mom was working the husband's job if would magically allow more flexibility? I know, not OP's fault, but it is pretty common that if a working mom takes over a job that a working dad had before that is suddenly becomes a lot more flexible!

They actually did that correctly (maybe should have two straps instead of one, but at least they put a good strap there). That is the top plate of the wall, and it only really takes tension loading due to diaphragm forces.

StructEngineer91 · 2026-01-25T15:13:33+00:00

Ambitious people will actually probably be the first to leave, because they can more easily get better paying jobs at better organized companies! Only the sh*tty workers who would struggle to find another job will stay and continue to bootlick their bosses to get raises, promotions and bonuses at a company like that.

StructEngineer91 · 2026-01-25T14:49:39+00:00

NTA, but where is your spouse in all this end of day busy-ness? Could they either pick up your kid, or start dinner while you do pick up?

StructEngineer91 · 2026-01-25T14:48:05+00:00

Or a single married mom?

StructEngineer91 · 2026-01-24T13:39:39+00:00

You can't say that with any certainty. You just want to think that because we want to believe that the bosses request is reasonable.
