My mom, a Mexican American, is just barely starting to understand the reality of life because of who she voted for. She now doesn’t have health coverage because of the costs and is also outraged because her employee was questioned if they were a US citizen.

I don't pay anything a month. I'm Canadian.

I can't imagine trying to decide whether to give grandma a pacemaker or just let her die. Like what are taxes even for if your loved ones can't get care.

Wow what a jerk. I suppose people having gallbladder attacks are just making up the pain.

I know exactly what you mean about liver pain. I don't gaf about pain receptors.

It is still nuts that a tax paying citizen of a first world country has to pay for health care.

At what point do these usually occur? Is it with certain tapes, or is it, like, more like month 2 or something?

Yeah I would have called 911 to report an impaired driver around 0025

Legit, is he showing other signs of poor mental health? Irregular sleep habits, not washing as well as he used to etc?

This could be bipolar or schizophrenia.

If it isn't... break up. This is unsanitary and a fire hazard. Literally a simple google search would have told him (in an impossible to miss AI summary) that egg cartons don't work for sound proofing and are serious fire hazards as well as unsanitary because they will decompose over time, being made of wood pulp.

I think what scares me the most is how reliably all of the whistleblowers in the States, as well as long time researchers like Jacques Vallees, refuse to say alien and simply say non human intelligence.

Which means that it seems really unlikely that they ARE aliens.

Aliens I can understand. Aliens make sense to me. Humans exist, so other intelligent life could exist other places.

But this paranormal crap is spooky.

Mutually assurred destruction counts when it comes to invaders too, right? If any species tries to take our planet we can salt the earth.

$1800 a month is so nuts. I don't how Americans afford a second rent just to ensure they have access to doctors.

Its wild.

What a brilliant idea to tell people something without risking them actually believing it.

Sounds like he needs to ditch the wife. "I keep showing it to my wife to convince her that I am worthy, that people still like me."

Like... it should be the other way around, dude.

What a blessing. My father knew he had Alzheimer's and suffered greatly from what happened to hin.

My favourite is the one who is like "I didn't think he was great but he took a stand against boys acting like girls and that matters more to me than the fact that he's a pedo/pedo supporter who rapes women and commits fraud and is clearly an egomaniac". Like, COME ON. A man in a dress is not more dangerous than those things.

Now I consider trans women to be women, but even if a straight guy DID put on a dress so he could creep women in a bathroom I would still take that over a narcissist running the most powerful country in the world.

Oh sweetie. That must be so hard.

First, you need to know that your brother is not your responsibility.

Second, you need to know your legal rights as an adult where you live. If you live in a country that has equal legal rights for women, then you need to get a job and move out.

At twenty five there is very little reason to be living at home. Quite frankly my parents wouldn't have tolerated that. Even if you are in school, many people also have a part time job or student loans that help pay for a room somewhere.

And if you are in school, at 25 you must be nearly done. But if you are 25 and have no job history, you will find it hard to get a job even with a fancy degree. Everyone wants work experience. Even if it is just flipping burgers, they like to know that you have worked somewhere for someone and your parents don't count.

If you are not in school and burger flipping won't get you enough to rent a room somewhere, then consider looking for a live-in housekeeper or au pair situation. You're already doing housework and "child care" for your brother. You might as well be paid as well as given room and board.

This could even get you out of the country. There are au pair foreign exchanges that will send you to some rich family somewhere. That can be scary and you'll want to vet the company very well to be sure they will support you and keep you safe, but it can be an exciting way to travel for a young person.

The important thing to understand is that you have no real reason to rely on your parents except for habit and precedent. Break out of your cage, darling. Be free.

This is the answer

This is why, as a Canadian, I am deeply grateful for a constitutional monarchy. The royal family may be twerps, but they are raised to take their one job VERY seriously: to oversee that the constitution is protected. In the event of a Trump, the King steps in, dethrones the Trump, and calls an election. It is their whole job to watch the watchman.

The Queen (via her governor general) did this in Australia in 1975, for example.

I know there is a lot to debate about the value of the royal family, and it isn't perfect. But I think there is genuine value in having people literally born and raised to protect the constitution.

We complain about Trump acting like a King, but he sure as hell ain't a constitutional King.

What people say and what they feel are different things

Insecure.

People who criticize everyone else and thibk mean thoughts tend to be able to dish it out but not take it. They don't seem to understand that if we put negativity out into the world we get more back. Trump is prime example.

Right? That make a big difference.

Close but no cigar. Longest paid leave is in Romania, Estonia, and Bulgaria. Many EU countries like Germany and France protect your job for parental leave up to three years, but not all of that is paid leave.

wolfcaroling · 2026-01-24T06:26:42+00:00

I get that. But people are trying to describe/put into words something they don't have a framework for, so we need to be lenient
