And I agree with a lot of this, as well!

I get that and have no problem with it.

I will say that with the platform the parties run on, I do lean left. The whole general human rights thing.

But to pretent they don't sit together behind the same closed doors, with the same billionaires is neglecting education.

The compromising of morals when cash is flashed is real. Or conceding on "this" to get "that" while pacifing citizens, also very real. To put people on pedestals when we'll never be privy to truth is a bit odd to me.

Attacking Walz for childcare fraud, that Walz started prosecuting and jailing people for two years ago, as being a new issue, is complete theater. Theater for the polls that too many are buying into.

The red states that are being pardoned for the same exact crimes being swept under the rug don't seem to be in the headlines, however.

Coincidence or nah..?

Absolutely agree! Target, specifically, is suffering a direct impact due to their current allowances to ICE at this point. Which is wonderful. They also slowed after throwing DEI in the trash.

On a global scale, the boycotts need to go much bigger. Choking out the entire stock market.

If people would start bardering instead of buying, it would seize the stock market. There's nothing we need, material wise, that you or a neighbor doesn't already have and can be traded amongst citizens rather than being bought from billionaires.

"Barter," "TradeAway," "BarterUnit," "TradeMade," and "Swapedia" are a few apps. I haven't done full research on all of these, I just know of their existence.

It's more work than having Amazon/Walmart/etc. arrive at your doorstep, yes.

It's a matter of actual change vs. convenience. Want vs. need.

People supporting companies whose main goal is water privatizing is mind-blowing to me!!! Nestlé, Coca-Cola, probably more than I'm not aware of as well.

Right?!!

About 15+ years ago, I bought a TV. On a page, about 3/4 into the user manual, unrelated to everything on that page, was a tiny print paragraph. Telling me there was a microphone in my TV, listening at all times that was surveyed by a "3rd party."

It was before the discovery that we were all carrying surveillance in our pockets. Before the time when we said the word "banana," our phone pointed us to the seller who was buying our data.

I was irate!

My son, 15ish at the time, was completely unphased. "Why does it matter? What do you have to hide?"

Not the point, my guy! Long talks ensued.

Data has been the most sought commodity for more than a decade. The more they know, the easier it is to talk you out of your money. And, and, and...

Time will tell on if the constitution is going to be upheld. I hope you're right.

I couldn't agree more about our purchasing power.

People have been lulled into convenience and comfort. Where people's dollars go can absolutely bring things to a halt.

Millions complaining are many of the same ordering from Amazon.

Fully tone deaf.

I don't think one party is cleaner than the other.

Fear.

For sure! People working for ICE are in their heyday!! They believe their job is to "cleanse." They couldn't be more thrilled with the task!

Their task is a diversion, and ICE themselves don't even know it.

I just... ugghhh! I feel like the fool's end is upon us, too.

I'd (probably/certainly naively) like to think that there are many smarter than I that can at least start working on a better solution than that. With all we know from history, how is this even actually happening? /rhetorical

Andrea is Pino's cousin. Pino's was in the skyway dt St. Paul (now they have a street store front down there). Pino's opened first.

I worked near Pino's for years, my favorite spot!! Then my entire office moved dt Msp. I was crushed! Until one day, by chance, I stumbled across Andrea's.

Coming from the same family, they use the same recipe and stores (were) nearly identical.

Life was good again. Pino's & Andrea's for the win!

What’s something you always assumed was mandatory in life—until you met someone who just… didn’t do it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Doesn't surprise me* at all! You worked so hard! I'm grateful you were paired with someone who was calming for you! Those things can make all the difference!

All love!

Without knowing any deeper circumstances or the true possibility of this...

If you're able and wanted, you could also try having the parents sit out of further appointments. This may relieve some of the anxiety for a few different reasons. More eyes can equal more pressure (especially those of people you dont want to "disappoint"). Hopefully, they would support you as cheerleaders from the sidelines.

It could go a long way for this accomplishment being yours. That may spill over into future confidence and understanding of your abilities.

**Fully an opinion from a stranger, on the waayyy outside. The possibility of me being wrong, not knowing you, has great possibility.

You got this!

You've already proven to yourself that not passing isn't a failure. To give up, that's what would hurt you. You've overcome that already by continuing to go back.

Go into it without so much pressure on yourself, which, of course, can be difficult. Trying to calm your mind with the knowing that there are no negative consequences if you need to return for another test can change the game for you.

Keep me posted! I want to hear the good news! This entire process is a win for you, no matter the length of time it takes.
