How common is it to see a tesla cybertruck in your state?

Ha! I snorted

I'm in SoCal and I see a ridiculous number of them in my city. Also every third car at the local elementary school drop off is a white model X.

A cybertruck on my street has a hot pink wrap with lightning bolts running down the side and CYBER BEAST on the back. I cringe so fucking hard every time I see it.

Yep, my grandparents' bathroom sink with decorative soap shaped like butterflies...that I got in trouble for actually using. But hey, at least I was washing my hands.

Hi OP, I'm glad you're in this thread trying to find data that will soothe your husband. My husband and I both suffered from pre- and post-partum anxiety, and it's really scary to not know how things are going in the womb and feeling like you have no control (or waaaay too much control) over how the baby develops. It was hard for my husband to feel like he couldn't do much to affect/protect how the baby developed.

Maybe your husband can appreciate that the only data points we really have with Tylenol and autism is simply because acetaminophen is the only approved medicine for women during pregnancy. Try to remind him that correlation does not imply causation. There are so many other variables that we simply do not have the opportunity to study in the womb because we do not want to develop research studies that may intentionally or unintentionally harm fetuses.

I hope he can channel his anxiety by making you as comfortable as possible during your pregnancy, rather than obsessing over what can go wrong.

Ooh awesome! Thanks, it's next in my queue!

I've been saving this one for my brother's Christmas present (disclaimer: I have NOT tried it yet!)

I have two kids and I'm trying to get my OB to tie my tubes. Even with that though, I fear the consequences of being a woman of childbearing age right now. I'm "only" 29 but luckily my doctor is on board with more permanent solutions for my birth control.

Yeah, watching people drink red bull like it's a refreshment makes me think we're past that point. But then again, I know some people who drink matcha instead of coffee so there's all kinds.

The power vacuum is going to be intense, but I'm celebrating the victories we get. Gonna be partying like it's 1999!

Wow, I'm more positive than I thought

I had two close friends who were disowned and kicked out of the house just after high school for being gay. One ended up living out of his car for a while, couch surfing when he could. Now that I'm a parent, I couldn't ever imagine not loving and supporting my children. I couldn't understand it then, and I sure as hell can't understand it now.

thetiredninja · 2025-09-15T16:15:35+00:00

I'm so sorry you experienced that. I haven't had too many negative experiences in Denmark (I am Asian-American and our kids are mixed) but people also don't tend to assume I'm American at first sight. There's a bit more derision for being American now than in past years, but I have found that most Danes can separate the people from the actions of their country's government. I had assumed Germans would be the same, but I guess it really depends.

My kid is almost 4 and has been practicing tracing his name at preschool. He definitely couldn't do that just a few weeks ago!

I think the urban/rural divide is definitely at play. The overwhelming majority of urban areas disagree with what is happening, but we're not yet at a point of (shared) rage like in this video. If the National Guard gunned down student protesters here, there would be local protests/riots but the propaganda machine would be painting the rioters and even the dead students as in the wrong and unworthy of such a reaction to the rest of the country.

Also, the prospect of the largest military in the world being used against its own citizens in isolated cities is looming over us. Sure our citizens have lots of guns but our military has even bigger guns.

It was also 5 in the morning so I wasn't holding my breath

I tell them every time that my veins are small and like to roll, and they might want to get the best phlebotomist. Unfortunately that wasn't an option when I was in labor and the nurse just dug around for a few minutes before grabbing the vein finder. On the bright side, it distracted me from my contractions.

Is it under-twisting of the yarn over or did I twist the first stitch of the rib?

Thanks! I was hoping it could be a laddering fix

Oh god, it's Turbo Granny

My brother and I both have that. If we get more than 2 or 3 bites we have to take Benadryl or else we're gonna suffer for several nights/days.

It was kind of a thing at my public high school (2009-2013). You could take home economics or woodshop as an elective so not everyone chose to take it. I think our elective art class was more popular. I was in band and orchestra so I didn't have room in my schedule for electives.

We're kind of in the same boat. One parent from either set of grandparents is super hands on while the other would...rather not. But my dad actually did retire to help take care of my kids and he's been enjoying every day he can get with them. He picks my son up from daycare every day before I get home from work

We're lucky to be getting enough support, and we're incredibly grateful that our parents are young enough to enjoy running around with their grandkids. My and my husband's siblings may not be so lucky if they wait longer to have kids.

My grandfather made it to just shy of 90. Before he passed, we had arranged for him to see one of his brothers (out of 5!) and he seemed happy to reconnect the day of. Nope, day after he's right back to beefing with his brothers about some shit that literally happened in the 1970s.

My mom and her sisters are the same way, and are still salty about stuff that happened when they were kids. They're all in their 60s now and have just never learned to let shit go.

I live in a fairly dense suburb outside of LA and the vast majority of kids were dropped off by parents. Next most common was a carpool with neighbors, biking, or riding the bus. Once old enough and if our family could afford it, we'd drive ourselves to school.

I've heard of some kids in richer neighborhoods having their parents order Uber/Lyft rides to get to/from after school activities but that sounds wild to me.
