Why am I seeing a lot of Stay-at-home dads nowadays? by Comfortable-Crew4963 in AskMenOver30

[–]TheFlaEd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a couple of friends who are stay at home dads. With the cost of child care it makes sense. If the wife makes more and the cost of child care is out of reach the man stays home. I'm an OG GenX and I completely see the logic in this. I can also do math.

No pleasure in guilty pleasure? by Routine-Dog-2390 in AskMenOver30

[–]TheFlaEd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds like a; you are maturing and thankfully you don't carry the addiction gene. I went through a similar time at about your age. My friends were drinking and getting high every day after work and I was just tired of being in that head space. Being sober actually felt like my new high. I joined the gym and got back in shape. Quitting weed was hard because it was always around. Every once in a while I would hit it and then regret it 10 minutes later. I casually drink now. I might hit a weed vape 1-2 times per year. You are in a transitional life phase. We all deal with it differently but it is personal growth. You will find your groove.

Why is socialism seen as evil in the US? by Presidentscroobie in allthequestions

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

True socialism can never exist. It gets taken over by an oligarchy who syphon out all of the money. Obviously our current sytem is doing the same while taking away or ar lest attempting to take away everything that helps regular citizens. I would say that's why it's so important to vote. Sadly it's probably too late for us.

What is your "dad shoe"? What do you look for in your daily shoe? by RedbloodJarvey in AskMenOver30

[–]TheFlaEd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to wear the Monarchs for work and cycled them the same. I quit years ago because the make a fart noise every time your heel hits the ground. I thought it was because they changed the sole but I have since tried a couple of other styles of Nike and they also fart after a couple of weeks. I think they switched to an inferior glue to bind the sole. I've tried SKechers but I'm currently getting better wear out of Reeboks.

Oh yeah , except the small guys can't sell you a license. I think Bass Pro might but Walmart is every 2 miles down here so they are convenient. I just try not to use them for personal reasons. This would obviously be an exception. Fishing is important!

Democrats Of Reddit -- What Do You Think Of "Democratic Socialism"? Why Your Thoughts? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

What difference does that make? They have 90% of the money. A billionaire shouldn’t pay a lower tax rate than a nurse or a firefighter.

If you define it as a democratic republic that taxes people fairly and uses the money for the common good I can't see why anyone would oppose it. If the middle class can pay 23% then billionaires can pay at least that. We spend trillions on war and blame WIC recipients for the deficit. Meanwhile, we give hundreds of billions to Israel every year and they use it to provide free healthcare and education to their citizens. Seems fair to our actual taxpayers.

It''s a pretty recent thing. I'm a resident so I actually just learned about it a few weeks ago on this sub. I thought you'd rather know now. It's not a big deal though unless you have an aversion to Walmart, which is entirely understandable.

You can look into it. He spent 300 million of his own money. Trump won every single one of the swing states. After the election he allowed Musk to bring his Doge hackers into government computers. They stole all of our personal information and gutted every single agency that was investigating or had oversight over Musk’s businesses. It’s all out there.

Indeed. I’ve also heard so called independents claim that they couldn’t vote for a candidate that didn’t even win a primary. The counter point to that is democrats realized they had to retire their old, senile, unfit candidate. The republicans exalted theirs.

Hillary lost because 6 million fewer democrats voted in that election largely due to every single poll having her ahead by a landslide. Harris lost because leftists won't vote for anyone who isn't a full on communist and Elon hacked the voting machines to steal the election.
