Provide means “make available”. They are not “providing leave” if they are forcing her to take it. It’s her option, not theirs.

Where I come from grandmothers don’t have couches. They have sofas. Or davenports. Occasionally a settee. Never a couch.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) doesn’t cover pregnancy, and it would be an interesting legal gambit to see how this is implied as “being the law”.

Intelligent Qube is one of the few games on that list I was actually pleased to see.

Just keep burrowing deeper into your own ass. It’s a nice, cozy, little world up there where you never have to admit you’re wrong and everyone is dumb enough to think you’re smart.
