I cook four portions, my husband has a portion, I have one too, my son then eats two portions and says he’s still hungry.
You can’t meal prep with pre-teens/teens in the house. This kid will eat leftover roast chicken for breakfast, like the whole damn thing.
I cry while grocery shopping and pray to saint peanut butter for help
A dishwasher not my hands? What is this wild technology you speak of?
I’ll be shocked if Walmart choses to “eat the cost” for tariffs.
They don’t “eat the cost” so their employees don’t need food stamps, a program also on the chopping block. If they gut medicate/medicaid the Walmart pharmacy will also definitely feel that loss.
In the early years of Spotify I liked that it stored the songs on your sctual device, so you didnt need an active Internet connection to listen to the songs.
No algorithm but buying physical media again is one path.
A few months ago I got a couple CDs and I’m hoping to rebuild my collection and get off Spotify. It supports artists better, and YouTube is still there to help discover new music.
Buy a CD a month instead of your service. A roll back for technology of course, but worth trying imo
Our musicians are getting fucked with streaming services and I like directly supporting them.
I dislike that you can’t block NSFW stuff. My son found NSFW stuff on Spotify… and I had to take it off our Living Room Tv and ban him from using it for now. I think you can block accounts, but there were so many… Go ahead, search tits on Spotify… fucking wild to me it’s not moderated.
I’m bet you have needs not being met right now.
Don’t give up hope, they win if you do

This whole album got me through some shit
I wish I could get my son to this point! He is so rough on literally everything he owns, I do a sweep through his room yearly to get rid of the broken stuff. The only toy that has survived through the years is legos. Thank goodness he’s getting older now, and toys aren’t really what he wants anymore. I always wished to donate old toys clothes, but my boy is the destroyer of all things lol
I lived in a one bedroom apartment as a single mom of one. Perfectly fine, and I agree with what you are saying, but a one bedroom with three kids and both parents? Seems a bit much…
And women who had “hysteria” were given lobotomies.
Theres a reason there is still a large cohort of older folks to follow the taboo on therapy: “I’m not crazy, I don’t need therapy”. Because in the good ole days they just locked and chained up or lobotomized anyone with divergence.
I’ve read multiple times that women attempt suicide just as much. If not more than men, men are just better at being successful
So it still works beautifully
The 80s are such an odd choice to make a fashion come back. I can’t get past the current young people dressing like the white collar parents of my day. But I also see a bit of the 90s at play and it is interesting to see how fashion plays around like that

One shudders at the thought
I actually kind of hollered at the ACLU. I did a one time, small donation a few months ago. I am poor folk.
They have been blowing me up since. I ended up picking up the line on a sunday (I’m sorry, I’m not religious, but don’t business call me on a fucking sunday). It might have been Saturday, statement stands either way.
But I was about to have a panic attack. This woman on the other line let me know she was wofh the ACLU and looking for donations or whatever, but I gave her the news. I’m poor, you are blowing up my phone, I gave a one time donation to do my part and now I feel attacked. You want more and more and more, and I can’t. I said, this behavior from y’all makes me regret donating. She tired to say something, I just repeated, I can’t do this, please don’t call me, and hung up.
These politicians in their photos wear suits that probably cost as much as my entire wardrobe, it’s rude to beg money like this. I hate it.
I worked at four US manufacturing gigs before landing at an Employee Owned Company that actually paid living wage ($19/hr to start with benefits).
Prior to that, these four manufacturing companies I was hired at paid minimum wage, you were lucky to get a ten cent raise after a year. The work was grueling, health insurance was basically nothing, no paid time off, just shit conditions with mandatory overtime and zero workers’ rights.
Not to mention something like injection molding or QA off a line and into a box, is the most boring work there is. I hate injection molding. Even the aerospace department at my decent paid EO company was repetitive boring work, but at least they cared about ergonomics an employee well-being. This is not true in the majority of manufacturing.
There are some decent manufacturing jobs in the US, but the ratio of decent paid “good” ones, to shit companies who just beat every ounce of labor out of you before you destroy your body to pay you pennies is not great. Worker Unions and Employee Owned companies are where it’s at, but there is less of them than shit manufacturing companies beholden to their white collar, red tie shareholders.
Edit, for expamle, I actually got laid off by a company making car parts two weeks before Christmas. I was just temping there, had been four months. They told me they really liked my work, I was one of the better employees (wasnt hard at this place, the night shift all drank on the job and half the day folks didn’t give af). I wasnt going to stay with the company anyway, I just needed work for that winter. So they complimented my work ethic and skill, and then told me, a 26 year old single mom to one, that they had to lay me off because they couldnt afford to hire me until the new year, sorry its just before Christmas. This company was running more than half the year in the red.
Annoying as hell. I went back to the temp agency and they found me a job for a different company just for two weeks, cutting back scrap for this other company. I said sure. This new company was the employee owned one. I got lucky, one of the guys in the department was on thin ice already, so when it came out he was sharing a disgusting misogynist nickname for both me and the only other female (engineer) in the department, he got fired as his last strike. Guess who swooped in to take his job? Guess who got to smuggly tell the staffing agency there was no fucking way I was going back to the car parts place when they asked about me in January :)
Trump may have never happened if the fucking dnc supported bernie in 2016…
“My opinion is that general failures of liberal parties to actually make life better, and reduce corruption. People have lost faith.”
They absolutely have lost both faith and hope. Our institutions lack integrity.
I wash as I go too, but there are still the after dinner dishes, and like the main pot/pan left over, the forks, the endless cups the just accumulate everywhere with having a whole family with adhd…
I tend to make everything by scratch, so I’ve only myself to blame (it’s cheaper tho). Washing as you go helps, but it’s not a full cure.
I posted cookies I made last night, and the only reason I didnt melt the butter with the lemon zest was to save pulling out and dirting my sauce pan I just cleaned from dinner.
