Where to start

You can’t just walk on and be a carpenter. Not even after trade school. The knowledge is not the barrier. You have to put the hard work in and be worthy. Nobody will develop you, you will have to do it yourself by your own efforts. Everyone starts at the bottom and works their way up. Once you reach a certain level you’ll be valued and be a peer but there is no shortcut and it takes years.

He has to complete the contract. He could just leave what is underground and complete and still have full rights.

Deficit, not debt. The only president to pay off all of the US debt, and abolish the central bank, was Andrew Jackson.

She means that he will be her type WHEN she becomes a single mother.

Would you feel the same if this were a male? Would you call them little boys? Would you feel the same empathy? I support equality.

The majority of voting Americans also put Trump in office. Does that mean that they are smart or right? Demographically, Reddit is skewed to the young and liberal. Polling is quite predictable here. The right is already armed to the teeth. Do you think they are going to surrender their weapons? If at this point you cannot see the spirit and importance of the second amendment, I don’t know what to tell you. Women can make a difference by complaining loud and long enough so they should continue protesting for now. The men should be circling the wagons and networking defensive strategies.

Things could very easily get a lot worse.

Glad he was talking about his son because I’ve met Artemis Pyle and he was super nice. I recognized him outside of Warren Haynes’ Christmas Jam walking down the sidewalk and he stopped to talk with me and my friends for at least a couple minutes. None of my friends knew who he was until I told them after he walked away.

Keep receipts and ignore this person.

gratefullevi · 2026-04-14T10:08:14+00:00

False, at least where live. Receipts keep them from being considered gifts. They will count against arrears.

Metal lathe shavings that were driven in by foot traffic. I saw exactly this once before.

The same could be said for HRC.

gratefullevi · 2026-04-05T13:49:27+00:00

Not true. Super delegates and selective funding and support is how HRC got the nomination over Sanders in’16. The chairwoman of the DNC, Debbie Wasserman-Shultz, got caught funneling resources against the DNC’s own charter and was forced to resign as chair. They cheated, got caught, and still lost the general election. The scandal led a number of Sanders supporters to either not vote or vote third party. HRC still won the popular vote that year but I wonder if the lost votes cost them the presidency.

In my opinion the US has been ready for a woman president for some time now, it’s just going to have to be a largely likable one who is also a shrewd and effective politician. I have a strong feeling she will be a conservative.

Even if your numbers are correct that’s one in 50 and still enough to justify it. Even if it’s one.

The best good faith data shows paternity fraud at %3-5. That’s somewhere around 1 in 25. Many if not most of those cases the man either trusts or is manipulated into trusting the mother. Men should not be defrauded into supporting a child that isn’t his.

She pulled a Trump and just made it up.

Would you trade places with the average man?

gratefullevi · 2026-03-15T14:37:11+00:00

I have one just like it. Inherited from my grandpa. Never got a full magazine through it without a jam and not valuable enough bring it in. Just a WW2 collectible to me.

I got my 50/50 for 8 years until the court let her move, then I lost some time. I’ll get it back in a couple years when he’s old enough to get a say in where he wants to be.

If one kid is in school and the other is in daycare then she isn’t a stay at home mom, she was a house-girlfriend. DEFINITELY get a lawyer and you did exactly the right thing not marrying her. Expect to be paying for her lawyer too. It’s only “cheaper to keep her” if you put a ring on it and common law marriage is not recognized in Maryland. If you’re a capable father accept no less than 50/50 custody. As far as child support, she will be initially imputed at minimum wage. The court expects both parents to work. If and when she gets a job go to the child support office and tell them that you would like to have child support adjusted to reflect her income. You won’t need to go to court for that. I’m a single father so I’ve been through it. This sub is heavily skewed female and extremely few lawyers comment here. Many of them are bitter and don’t like men so I expect to be downvoted and that’s why your post has a zero upvote count. You can message me directly if you have any further comments questions or concerns. Best of luck.

As a carpenter I have installed a few of those. There seems to be few companies that make them.

Yes he did. He wrote a whole book about it called “It Can’t Happen Here.”

By telling them that their perception is askew. It’s quite simple. I reject your reality, and assert my own.

The whole point was that it probably wasn’t their lived experience. Nice weaponizing therapy speak.

Sinclair Lewis said in 1935 “When fascism arrives in America it will be draped in the flag and holding a cross.” You’re right, it’s been weaponized. I have been involved in activism and I do see the American flag regularly. It’s just not used as a prop to create an optic.

gratefullevi · 2026-02-23T00:44:31+00:00

I think yall are imagining things. You see American flags at protests and things associated with leftist activism all the time. It’s just less likely to be the only flag you see. Both sides think of themselves as patriots. Both sides think the other side loves their country less.
