I suggested this on another thread - that supportive spouses of SAHMs could take care of the kids and the household that day - if it works for their family. Oh. MY. God. One guy, who claimed to be super supportive, said he would be pissed if his wife said she wanted to do this.

There are a lot of things they haven’t addressed and your issue is a big one. Hopefully they do address these things so as many people as possible can participate in the way that works best for them.

But this isn’t about YOU; you obviously don’t understand why women are striking. And I don’t know that I would call a husband “supportive” if he got super pissed at his wife for making him take care of the kids for this.

I think that we are trying to show society at large - even supportive members - how important women are in the daily activities that many people just take for granted as happening. So, even though a woman may have a supportive husband, it is possible that he still takes for granted that things with the kids and…

First, I am just relaying what my belief of what the strike was supposed to be. The women of Iceland have done this on multiple occasions and it seemed to work out. However, I realize we are not in Iceland. Regarding breast feeding - I don’t have children, but my sister and many friends have had them. And most of…

I thought the purpose of the strike was just that - women who work outside the home don’t go into work, and SAHMs don’t do their work either. So the father has to get the kids breakfast, to school, etc. I thought the strike was to show the importance of women- what they do in the workplace, economy, AND at home.

Which is why I started listening in the first place...so many people had talked favorably about it.

I know, and I am being too hard on them. I just wanted to like it so much.

No, I had not heard of either. I’ve never listened to any CBC podcast. Thanks! I must make a list of all of these - I’m getting old and forgetful these days :)

Excellent point. Or cut the lines. I guess he wasn’t a very smart hypothetical killer.

My employer tried to put the kibosh on headphones...said they want to foster a collaborative environment and you can’t do that when you’re closed off wearing headphones. They didn’t say they were banned, just that they would prefer us not to use them. We have ignored that recommendation. The day would be…

Did he??? That is excellent to know! Thank you thank you thank you!

That’s so refreshing! There will always be mistakes, but just admit it and try to fix it in the future. How hard is that? Why do so many law enforcement agencies have such an issue with that?

Lore is great. I finished all the episodes :(

Me too. I feel like the years spent listening to This American Life has spoiled me. I expect a certain amount of professionalism from podcasts that are supposed to be highly rated.

In the Dark is great so far. Two episodes left. I thought since I knew the ending I wouldn’t be as interested, but the inclusion of all the information regarding how positively AWFUL the Stearns County sheriff’s department is definitely made it worth listening to. For a little while I just kept muttering, “Oh my…

It’s like some friends told them how funny they were when they geeked out about true crime, so they decided to turn it into a podcast. And didn’t do a lot to prepare for it. Sure, my best friend and I can really geek out when talking about certain topics in the legal field, but no one wants to listen to a podcast of…

I’ll give Last Podcast on the Left a try. For whatever reason, true crime podcasts help get me through the work day better than any other type.

I only got maybe 4 episodes in before I gave up and moved on to something else. But I do remember the sound being shit - mainly because I was watching Luther around the same time and why do they just fucking whisper on that damn show???!! So, the audio on all of my different forms of media was pissing me off.

They can trace your address through a landline, but not all 911 services have the ability to do so with cell phones. I think they’re working on it though. So, most law enforcement agencies still recommend calling 911 via landline when possible.
