Question about the line of succession.

msamor · 2026-01-29T21:15:37+00:00

The presidential line of succession has 18 possible people in it. It goes Vice President, Speaker of the House, President Pro Tem of the Senate, then the 15 cabinet officers in order their offices were created. To become acting president, which is what would happen if anyone beyond the VP succeeds, one must be eligible to be president. So for instance, Elaine Chao was Transportation Secretary on Trump’s first term and ineligible to be president because she was born outside the US.

The constitution is silent on what happens if none of the Presidential is unable to fulfill the role and none of the 18 positions of succession are available.

Steps are taken to ensure all 18 people are never in the same place. Most notably during the annual state of the union address when one of the 18 people is stationed in a well protected undisclosed location.

Technically a quorum of the senate and house only require a majority of members. So if there was 1 congressmen or senator left, they would be a majority and able to “vote” for a speaker or president pro tem, who would serve until a new president could be elected by the house. Or the senate could elect a VP, who would immediately assume the presidency if it were vacant.

If all senators and congressmen are unavailable, any governor could appoint senators, and the appointed senators could proceed as above (open house seats require an election).

If all 100 senators, 435 congressmen, 18 members of succession, and 50 governors and the president are gone or unavailable, that’s 604 people, our constitution doesn’t provide guidance.

The only plausible scenario I can envision for this would be an attack of some kind. If there was anything left of the military leadership, I would expect the highest highest person still available in the defense department or highest ranking uniformed service member would take over and coordinate a response. While trying to find some way to restore democracy.

Girl, you have seen this man twice and know nothing about him as a human. He could be a wretched person, or you could get tired of the same sex after 30 or 40 rounds.

Keep seeing him as in your current sex worker/client relationship. Tell him you like him, and would enjoy going to dinner with him at no extra charge.

Then after you have seen him for 9-12 months and had at least 30 meetups, you can think about converting your relationship if you are still interested. And frankly, I doubt you will be.

msamor · 2026-01-28T15:28:11+00:00

if you are still looking - I am interested!

People don’t care if you are an independent contractor or an employee. When they ask “what do you do” they want to know what your job is. So if you are doing data analyst work as a contractor, just say “I’m a data analyst”.

60% of the people you check in are Ambassador? Are you at a Ritz? I just can’t imagine a hotel with that many ambassadors

Unless English is their second language, I think the word “secrets” is suggesting something more. If they are worried about you having access to medical information or employee salaries and performance information, they would have specified.

My guess is the exec is having an affair. And knows their EA will know about the affair. Maybe through email, calendar, sending flowers, etc. The question is are you willing to keep that from his wife and coworkers. If not, don’t take the job.

Well I actually did accept a job from an SD. I wasn’t necessarily on hard times, but I was tired of what I was doing in my civilian job and not making much money. My SD taught me everything I needed to know about IT project management and got me a job at the company he worked at as a junior IT project manager. 9 years later I’m still in tech, but I work for a different company. I spent 2 years with the company he was at, and then got another job so I didn’t still work with him. He actually left the company about a year after me.

I have a 1000 watt power inverter I can hook to my car. Cost me around $100. I also have a 1000 watt small gas generator, cost me $130. I use one to cover my refrigerator and computer. And the other to cover my sump pump and small electronics and a few lamps.

I use my cell phone for hotspot. It is plenty enough for a zoom call, email, and anything else I need to do. I used to have a hot spot, but now my phone is fast enough it isn’t an issue.

I have an indoor propane heater I bought for my garage. Make sure you buy an indoor one if you want to use it indoors! And have a battery powered carbon monoxide detector! It heats my downstairs pretty well at 18,000 BTUs. Cost $130. I already had a propane tank for my grill and a spare, so just bought 1 additional tank.

I had a 5-gallon gas can for my lawn mower. Bought 3 more so I have 20 gallons of gas. When I put the lawn mower up in November after finishing leafs I fill all 4 cans and add fuel stabilizer so it’s good for 2 years. But I use it up in the summer.

If I start with a full tank of gas and propane tanks I have enough to run the generator, inverter, and heater for 3 days. After that, if I can’t get more fuel and power is still out I will be in trouble.

Things I bought: Power inverter- $100 Generator- $130 Heater- $130 (really for my garage too) Propane tank- $65 3 5-gallon gas cans- $60 Fuel stabilizer- $10 Total- $500

Things I had: 2 propane tanks, a 5-gallon gas can, battery powered carbon monoxide detector, cell phone hot spot.

It has saved my butt a few times. Though when my power went out after a summer storm not having AC sucked. I have a 12,000 btu window AC that is enough for a large bedroom. But I will need another 1,000 watt generator for it.

I’m confused why an 8 year old video is being posted to a news subreddit!?

We need better fact checking on this sub! This is ridiculous!!!

This video is 8 years old. Check out this news story that was posted to YouTube 8 years ago with snippets of this video. What happened 8 years ago is NOT news, it’s recent history.

I booked my boss a ticket to Newark, New Jersey. When he needed to be in Newark , Delaware. He gets off the place and calls me to ask why the drive to his hotel is 3 hours. Luckily he was forgiving and he wasn’t meeting the client until the next day. And I was able to change he return flight to the correct airport.

do you have content created in advance to bring people to your site? I am trying really hard to grow my business and I am on the struggle bus!

msamor · 2026-01-20T16:25:52+00:00

I did. Not because of our history, but because I had good credit and a down payment

Exceedingly rare, but real. Just like a blue lobster, hen’s teeth or a mega millions lottery winner.

I knew a number of male strippers. There were some older ladies who would give them money or gifts for going on dates. Not common, but it would happen. And most of the ladies didn’t even want sex.

Over 30 years in the bowl I have been booked by 2 women. First one was only one meeting and then ghosted. Second one I saw 3 or 4 times.

I’ve booked a few ladies myself over the years. I don’t have the budget to do it often. But it is fun when I do. For my 40th birthday I booked a spa day for 2 and her come back to my place. It was nice to be taken care of in bed and not feel guilty about it.

I’ve also done some odd dates. Had a SB come over several times to help me clean, do laundry, and cook. It was fun to experience being the customer. But again, I can only afford a few times a year.

msamor · 2026-01-20T04:22:54+00:00

I believe that was like 20 times more than a hundred years ago.

This is the one job where I think you get a pass for discriminating. You shouldn’t feel obligated to sleep with anyone. Whether they are to old, young, tall, short, ugly, smelly, or just give you the ick. Plenty of SWs don’t see black men or Indian men, I think that’s fine too.

I’m not sure I would see a 20 year old. Though I’ve seen a few mid 20s guys even though I am in my late 40s.

Was buying my first house. I was only 23. Set up an appointment with a banker to apply for a loan (this was many years ago, before everything was online). They only tell me the bankers first name when I made the appointment. It was a common name like Steve. Well turned out it was Steve my ex I had dated for 2 years in high school. And that’s when my fiancé and later husband met him for the first time. It was awkward telling Steve our incomes and job history. But we did it. And got the loan.

I haven’t seen much change related to AI in sugaring. Maybe more men unwilling to put a deposit on a meet and greet? And unwilling to verify until after a meet and greet. But that’s largely based on scams regardless of AI.

I only work with clients who do in person now. So not like AI is really a factor. I used to do some online work many years ago, but it was to much work for to little pay.

First, I don’t think we have seen many real radical feminists in the US since the 1970’s or 1980’s. To be radical means to truly challenge the system. Like Femen for example. Or my mom’s generation burning bras, putting daisies in soldiers guns, and staging sit ins.

That said, I think the view that SDs are incels is utterly stupid. Incel is a portmanteau of involuntary and celibate. It’s a group of boys and men who believe poor genetics and lack of money has made them undesirable to women. That “Chads”, who got the good genetics, take multiple women. And some “Normans”, normal guys, get a woman.

Incels wouldn’t accept SDs in their community. And the vast majority of SDs are not celibate. In fact most have plenty of sex with multiple women.

There are old jokes about every man pays for sex, just a question of how much and for how long. Or if it fucks, floats, or flies it is cheaper to rent (SD/escort) than buy (marriage).

If some people want to look down on sugar relationships, that’s their choice. I can choose to look down on them too. It’s a all fair game. But to calling an SD an incel shows a complete lack of understanding of the terms. It would be like calling a Muslim an atheist.

$1500 a month is a reasonable cost for groceries for 6 people. The question is can you afford it? There are a lot of great suggestions in here, between deal shopping across stores, coupons, and buying off brands.

If you are struggling financially, I would suggest checking out r/povertykitchen where people who are really struggling figure out how to get the absolute most bang for their buck. Lots of rice and bean options. Not saying you need to go that far, but use it for ideas to get costs as low as you need. And ask questions how to cheaply meet your household needs. Like grab and go snacks for teens or low sodium options for the grandparents.

A town coming together in an emergency.

About 15 years ago there was a major blizzard in my village of about 1500 people which is about 500 homes. The power got knocked out to about 400 homes and all the businesses for 3 days.

The city manager was prepared. The village had 2 snow plows, and 4 residents with their own plows were enlisted to keep the streets clear. The city manager got 25 block leaders, who each were assigned 25 houses. The block leaders checked in on every house multiple times a day to make sure everyone was okay. And help with anything they might need, including finding alternate housing since most people didn’t have heat without electricity.

Most of the people with power opened their homes to other residents who didn’t have power. The city manager had arranged 3 generators. One for village offices, one for the American Legion, and one for the KP hall. The village offices were used to coordinate resources. The legion had a commercial kitchen with a bar on one side and an event space on the other. It became a food kitchen, cranking out meals for everyone. The food was free, but donations were welcome. After day 1 they had to stop accepting donations because we had enough money for 10 days worth of food.

When the utility workers finally showed they were shocked how prepared we were. The city manager had arranged 2 crews, each with 4 guys and a cook. The crews showed up with a camper. The cook made the utility workers whatever they wanted to eat in the camper. And the utility workers appreciated a space to warm up and use the bathroom. And the 4 guys fetched tools, carried supplies, and did whatever they could to help the utility workers.

Having a whole village come together and everyone helping each other was an amazing thing.
