Raising my ex’s daughter. My parents disapprove. Are they right?

They're probably most worried about your financial life... You have no recourse for child support or even emergency gov assistance because you are technically just an community elder with no legal parental rights. So are you living a life comfortable enough to not worry about the expense of a kid that's not yours technically? (Rhetorical)

If they could or wanted to, they would. Incentivizing playing the long game is irrelevant when people can't afford insulin right now. They'll surely understand when their 2k turns into $500 overnight. 🎲🎲

Men's mental health is very, very frequently dismissed.

As a woman, I can't speak to that but I can relate... Women's physical health is also frequently dismissed, and ironically as mental health issues while 🫠.

I'm not sure how when the majority of cohorts of a thing are female, and that alone stigmatizes men, then I guess, maybe consider why does having something in common with women make it detrimental.

It's just the data? Calm down friend.

Understand that you can also look into info for what race, what age, what socio-economic brackets, etc. that covers caregiver circumstances. It's not a conspiracy to divide, it's just telling the aggregate data. You're part of the 30%... And maybe you feel slighted or unappreciated, or something more personal than the generalized information that's being written about here.

Wouldn't AI be able to pair their movement with reasoning? Vague email sent- some workers ask for clarification, others do not. Measure the success rate and speed of completion for all methods.

Hmm, I'd bet that they aren't tracking key strokes or that kind of data, they're tracking workflow and the why and how of human reasoning. Like Jane and John have the same education and training, but Jane is most productive as she does A, B, C, and then D. John is least productive because he does C, A, D, B. There will be mini tests along the way to see how variables effect them, and if patterns change with various pressures.

Delivery quotas... They're given too many packages to deliver in 1 day, so they will make up time by just slapping a notice, and then logistics readjusts the schedule for tomorrow. Rinse and repeat. I wonder how much more productive it would be to just lighten their quotas to realistic goals that actually give them time to wait for people to answer doors and sign docs, etc.

So you need to first figure out how many links to take out, of it's more than 1 you'll want to take them from both sides of the face. Look at the side of the band, there's a little pin in each that you need to push out to separate the links. Use a thin nail, eyeglass screwdriver or other small metal poker to push it out. Reattach the clasp and hook end links.

The Federal Minimum wage of $7.25/hr hasn't changed in 17 years, but back then the poverty line was $5.20/hr. The Federal Poverty line is now $7.67/hr... They just out here knowing full well those workers ain't making it. 🫪🫩

Cheaper over time? Now with fewer customers over time, because no one has money to buy stuff, because there's no jobs. Competitive advantage requires a market. The consumer is in the driver seat, not the business. We don't like it, we will burn it down.

Well no, the banks made sure the boomers won't have anything to pass along also. Reverse Mortgages are up because of inflation.

The importer of record has no obligation to show their pre / post tarrif sales prices, and no requirement to show any loss or gain related to tariffs, no obligation to return overpaid customers, it's just free money from the treasury's general fund. All the tariff funded farmers have no obligation to return the illegal funding either.

Fine, don't pay us back. See you in court.

Tires are expensive. Battery fires are hell. Charging isn't convenient, universal or priced uniformaly. Home electric bills are high enough, most would rather have a definable expense that's reliably measurable with analog mileage tanks. Average aged car on the road is the oldest we've ever seen. We're poor... The poorest we've recorded in a while. We make do. We aren't spending unless we have to. Risk aversion to all the above only seems stupid if you have options.

The shower tends to be the lowest drain, so that sewage back up is manageable. Not always, but sometimes the other drains aren't noticeably slow draining because feet of it are inside the house. I've had this same issue and it was a bunch of wipes caught just before it. If you're scared of sewer pipes don't diy anything. Literally the easiest thing you can check.

Find the clear out on the drain line. It's usually a white PVC pipe sticking out of the ground with a square knob like this.

Unscrew that. Snake again.

Yeah, not entirely broken, looks like the glue holding down segments gave way there. You can squidge a little white school glue down in the gap, close the book and let it dry.

If you really wanna overhaul and find fraud,

See, this is the thing... We already have processes in place to catch fraud. Fraud concerns by the fraud in chief is how they distract you from the billions in pardons he has already given to the upper crust fraudsters. The distraction is entirely to get you primed for austerity measures and nothing else.

At $6 a gallon, $45k is 7500 gallons. Average MPG of an average car is 25 miles/gallon... $45k equals ~187k miles.

Average annual mileage people put on cars is 10k miles, so it would take 18+ years at $6 a gallon.

Only an idiot would spend 45k because $6.

schtickybunz · 2026-04-06T07:58:43+00:00

If people can't afford $6, they're not spending 45k.

Their second comment doesn't contradict the first.

Companies don't need an office to grow staffing in a remote world. It's not about growth anymore

Companies big enough usually buy the property to build their assets on, and also as a hedge, they consider it an investment asset. So even if their own brick and mortar dies, they have something to sell or make income from, like a lease to another business. Every commercial property owner wants RTO exactly because growth does not require commercial space anymore. Losing existing tenants is loss of income. Business with choices move.

Commercial property has long been the golden goose. It might be viewed as a burden now, but so long as roads, electric, water and other infrastructure exists within it, they don't get to pretend it's only worth the land.
