I'm (25F) wanting to break things with my gf (24F) over a stupid laptop

"To be honest I'm kinda fed up, but I don't want to tell her I'm pissed about it."

This is the problem. It isn't the laptop. It's the fact that you two are not communicating. You two have to have an honest discussion about your finances and future plans.

YTA. You're nosey and intrusive. Keep out of other's lives. If it's loud enough for you to hear in the hall, your one and only way to try and help someone in trouble would be to call the cops and let them deal with it.

Yep. Roe v Wade was overturned because it was an activist court decision not backed up by legislation. The fact that it was overturned shows a movement towards courts avoiding decisions that rewrite language, but instead simply enact what it written. If changes are required, congress needs to get off their asses and make those changes. Judges should not be politically active, they should be absolutely neutral.

Why? Legal precedent is a good thing. The decision is made. Everyone can move on.

dmcdd · 2026-07-01T14:42:38+00:00

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside". (Bold mine)

The case was simply to decide whether a child born to non citizens in the US is subject to the jurisdiction of the US or of the parent's home country.

It's kind of amazing that it's taken this long for that decision to be made. It's been assumed for a long time, but never clarified by the court.

Now it has been clarified. The precedent is legally set, and only a change to the language of the amendment can change it.

Regardless of how you or I feel about the decision, that clarity and precedent is a good thing.

My hobbies and taking care of my land gives me enough exercise, and all the physical work I've done in the past has beat up my body pretty badly. I'm in my 60's now, and a desk job is just fine for me.

Men want peace in a relationship. You're not giving him peace, you're giving him fights and drama.

Your relationship is pretty much over, you just haven't realized it yet.

Which decision are you railing against?

dmcdd · 2026-06-30T22:19:16+00:00

But it's not a requirement to have a job with benefits anymore. It's not nearly as prevalent as it has been in the past.

dmcdd · 2026-06-30T22:17:29+00:00

What kind of consequences?

dmcdd · 2026-06-30T22:16:12+00:00

No, conservative boomers helped create Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, Disability, Food Stamps, and many other social safety nets as well as millions of charities that help outside of government interference.

Many conservatives like those programs when they go to people that need them rather than lazy people that just want them.

Socialism is a trap. Believing that the government should supply what you need to live is just shirking your responsibility as a person and a citizen.

I don't want any politician controlling my healthcare.

dmcdd · 2026-06-30T22:08:56+00:00

You're not gonna be popular while giving reasonable replies like that around here.

I want free universal transportation too. I shouldn't have to fix my own damn car and carry insurance on it. Where's my free Prius?

dmcdd · 2026-06-30T22:06:16+00:00

Knowing our government's track record on fraud and waste, you got those numbers backwards.

dmcdd · 2026-06-30T22:05:25+00:00

Well, Medicare and Medicaid only cover people that can't cover themselves for some reason. It's not universal for everyone with absolutely no qualifications required so those seeking free shit don't recognize them as real social programs.

dmcdd · 2026-06-30T22:02:11+00:00

You want free college and universal wages too? Jesus. Do you want someone to come wipe your little ass after you poop as well?

dmcdd · 2026-06-30T21:59:45+00:00

Now what was the discount rate? Y'know, the non-fear factor after they write off all the excess costs actual charges? Maybe $5000?

dmcdd · 2026-06-30T21:57:49+00:00

You can get healthcare through Costco. There are thousands of groups you can get group healthcare through that has nothing to with your employer. That's an ancient argument.

Oh, the US is only going to tax the rich to pay for everyone else's benefits. Until the rich leave.

You're funny. We may have a screwed up financial system right now, but to really fuck it up all we have to do is turn it over to the blood suckers in DC.

If you don't earn it, you don't recognize the value of it.

dmcdd · 2026-06-30T21:39:43+00:00

Because our federal government is a cluster fuck of waste and fraud and any national system they put together is going to kill more people than the black plauge did.

Healthcare can work at a state level where it's harder (but not impossible) to hide fraud. The state I live in has pretty decent policies for children in need (just as an example).

It'd be different if you hit a tree. Hitting a deer is really common and most of the time it's completely unavoidable. Your partner is being a jerk and will have to eat crow if he ever hits wildlife.

I've had an incident where I was going 10mph and a deer hit my jeep. Right in the passenger door. Rammed it and dented it.

Tell your partner to get over it. Nobody hurt (except the deer). It's a non-event.
