@cheygoulet Be glad you weren’t a Boy Scout and sent to the Quartermaster for the 50 pound contraption of pulleys, ropes, chains and hooks known at the Board Stretcher. Hauling that for 2 miles back to camp!
@EdKrassen Jean Auel in the Earth’s Children Series posits that cavemen, living communally still had sex and not monogamous sex. Privacy was socially enforced with people looking away. Porn rose when sex and human bodies became shameful.
@LakotaMan1 Religion is fine in classes like Religious Literature or Religious Influences in Art. Religion is an interesting idea, but when it became a belief, it became dangerous-people will die for beliefs.
@LoveTherapis1 It rarely works. A single woman with the child will always, and should always, put their child first. However, for the relationship to survive, the relationship must be first. It creates huge unmet needs on all sides.
@blairewhite Cost saving requirements by Congressional Bean Counters rather than engineers. Engineers would have a backup ready. Bean Counters say “that’s too expensive…just make sure it doesn’t fail while cutting your budget”
@RandomBunnyTalk Retirement is what you make of it. Forced into early retirement but grateful because it gave me the freedom of time to care for mother after her fall and broken hip.
@TheTrueFIREGuy It depends on your age. When I started working 40 years ago, if you could save $250K, you’d be in the pink. By 20 years ago, inflation and gutted pensions meant you needed $1M min. By 10 years ago, you needed $2.5-$3M. It’s an ever moving target.
@realEstateTrent Most jobs require at most 4-6 hours of attention each working day. The rest of the time is meetings, communication and other wasted effort. Good for this person for achieving their objectives. Pay for performance, not time in chair.
@RonFilipkowski Parents also want to shine in the eyes of their children. If the 12 year olds are begging you to vote for a candidate, many parents will just to get the dopamine hit of approval from their kid.
Allowing DonOLD TRUMP to continue with his public embarrassing rants and delusions is ramping up to Elder Abuse. Someone get this man a rocking chair and some Chamomile Tea.
@TaraBull808 A lot less than the country needs because the Republicans in Congress will block everything just because it comes from a woman or a person of color or both. Obstructionism is the Conservative game
@SilverARTicfox Because the polls were so wrong in the last election that they have changed their counting methods to increase Trump favorable responses.
@micah_erfan@scottsantens The psychological impact of UBI must be understood. Many would benefit, but a few would miss the purpose and destroy the concept for everyone. We need to understand those abuse mechanisms first to preserve it for everyone else.
@aliciaandrz Cost avoidance measures by the employer. Shift costs to others is the quickest path to profit. Make employees pay for their commute and also to park at work-instant profit. Dump all your hazardous waste in a pit on the back of the property-instant profit.
