Ah yes, I forgot how kids in my income bracket exist for no other reason than to teach kids in other income brackets things they may or may not have any way of understanding.

Actually, six, like five, encompasses a huge range of potential understanding, and that’s not even counting the possibility that this kid might have a developmental disability(diagnosed or otherwise). I work with kids who are very smart, but some of them have no real understanding of money, as it’s a very abstract…

nah, I don’t see it that way. it’s not like this was “stealing” per se; she’s old enough to see that mom does this on her phone and Amazon delivers things, but probably doesn’t have a grasp on that whole “things cost money” notion.

Judgemental people bring so much joy to the world.

Oh good the old bait and switch.

Few spouses or family members have the physical and/or mental strength to nurse an elderly/sick family member/partner. Most people in nursing homes have families. My mother and stepfather have both agreed that if they get seriously ill then it is 100% fine for the other partner to get professional help. They are both…

Or they are going to say this was Obama’s retaliation for their hacking.

Which dreamland do you live in? If you live long enough to become unable to take care of yourself, everyone ends up in a home. Having had a spouses, several spouses, a single child or a dozen or two of them makes no difference whatsoever.

Aren’t there a ton of elderly people in homes despite having children who could take care of them, though?

Husbands/male partners don’t stick around for the bad parts or do it well all that often. So you’re just as likely to be screwed if the women in your life think your husband is taking care of you as if the people in your life know they need to step up to the plate. In any case, they’re also less likely to be alive-…

I can’t imagine a worse reason to maintain a relationship – or bring children into the world – than my perceived financial self-interest.

I know I might as well just admit that I’m as bad as all the right-wing conspiracy theorists who ran wild during the Obama administration (although lol cuz they dumb), but I’m already thinking things like, “And now here is Putin and Brannon’s next step in their nefarious plan to lead us to war.” God help my brain and…

And Merry Christmas to you, too!

And yet those same fates happen just as often to people who are married and have children. I think it would be a lot worse to be sitting there alone in the nursing home knowing your immediate family doesn’t care about you.

Over 60 years old here… relationships have come and gone, but at least I can say I’ve escaped the legal and financial consequences of marriage.

I’m sorry, but you might want to consider what it means that you apparently are “ignorant” (your own words) about what the KKK stands for, why these people think the way they do and what they think without the aid of an A&E Documentary. You may also wish to consider that some of us are in fact not ignorant about these…

What are you doing that you somehow don’t see these folks bleating what they think and how they think from every available outlet? They are not exactly keeping that shit a secret. They are not silent. In fact, they will not shut the fuck up, ever.

They are all over Michigan. I would doubt any one of these damned fools has even been to a southern state, they just love the racism.

Seriously? Just.stop. You’re not the only adult in the room, and the tone-policing and eye-rolling are getting old.
