I would be greatly helped by a bunch of extra paid time off also. But that isn’t the point. This is just a bunch of people getting together to complain about how they aren’t as good about managing their finances as huge number of other people and therefore need a handout.

Here we go. More of this BS about middle class can’t afford kids on a single income. That is an incredibly ignorant position. You need to familiarize yourself with the tens of millions of families that do just that.

The problem with this whole conversation is that it presumes a stereotype is accurate and even if it is to a large degree that most people are unhappy with it. Calling these things out as “emotional” chores is a red herring. They are chores just like any other chore that some might assume to be men’s or women’s work.

yeah, I totally get that. It’s like when my wife says “come kill this bug.” It is a tiny freaking spider, just get a paper towel and kill it already, you could do that faster than I can come upstairs and get it for you. Or bringing the garbage from the bathroom down. It isn’t heavey and it’s 80% your stuff. Or the…

And how is that any different than any other chore? Doesn’t want to learn how to do laundry, dishes, change diapers, getting the spots off the shower doors, etc... It is as the OP said, a compromise like any other.

Muslin can be a highly durable fabric with the right coating applied. It was the basis for composites before composites were cool. Only recently, on a grand time scale, have the uses and benefits of muslin been perverted for evil and certainly #NotAllMuslin

Good point. If I were a corporate lawyer representing my client I might argue that, according to normal civil procedure the victim is required to mitigate their loss. E.g. if a plumber F’s up and a leaks starts after said plumber leaves, they must turn off the water. They cannot just let the water run for a week or…

Perhaps “All One Can Eat” is a good modern alternative.

If it is really a T-Sport with the Harley 88 engine, nothing that kid (or father for that matter) does with the throttle is going to cause a dangerous increase in speed.

This is a Harley, it’ll barely turn even when you try.

Especially since it’s a Harley. The dad himself is probably hard pressed to get it to turn.

So cute, the rearing of the young squidling.

What do black directors and female writers have to do with whether or not a movie is funny?

What you just said I don’t even

Gah. I was all with this and then you had to go an put “L.A. Story” in there.

I agree with the Grapes of Wrath. It is like an SNL skit that starts off slow and doesn’t seem funny at all, until the do the same thing over and over again, and keep the skit going, and it eventually becomes funny.

How is China flying military aircraft in internationally recognized US soverign airspace in any way comparable to the US flying mititary aircraft in international airspace?

And our non-military options now are different from our options then in what way?

Yes, because coastal bigotry is better than fly-over bigotry.

I can’t imagine living in one city the majority of my life, much less one household. Sounds convenient, safe, easy, and boring as hell.
