- Comment on Is it irrational for me to hate and despise every single American at this point? 12 hours ago:
Germany is voting soon. Will you hate all of them based on the results of that election? If you hate a group of people based on your belief that they’re all stupid, worthless, etc., you sound a lot like…

Phone, computer, tablet.

- Comment on Am I a bad friend/rude for not engaging with my friends and giving one-word responses? 3 days ago:
If you’re not interested in talking to them or spending time with them, why do you call them friends?
- Comment on Liquid Death Quietly Adds Stevia to Tea Drinks 3 days ago:
Like the sweet plasticky taste of dasani.

But it tastes artificial and fucks with lots of tummies.
- Comment on Why are tornado sirens only for tornadoes and not other severe storm events? 4 days ago:
I’m in the Dallas area. People here think they’re tornado sirens, but they’re really outdoor warning sirens. They sound for a tornado warning, winds in excess of 70 mph, hail greater than 1.5", or anything else that creates an outdoor risk. They mean “go indoors and check local news.”

- Comment on Why are old ladies so popular on the internet? 1 week ago:
Yeah I think that’s definitely true when you’re young, and as you said, up to a point. There’s a midpoint that’s good in between two young and dirty old men.
- Comment on Why are old ladies so popular on the internet? 1 week ago:
I disagree with one point. Middle aged and older men are much sexier than youngsters. 30 minutes of experienced attention is better than 2 hours of poundtown jackrabbit — checking the clock.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
First focus on expressing yourself in words as clearly as possible. If you’re writing to someone very familiar, an occasional emoji is ok. Using them too much to show how you’re feeling makes it appear as though your feelings are more important than the content
- Comment on Why is it called Lemmy 🤔? 2 weeks ago:
When you posted this, I was just telling my son about the blackout and showing him videos on it. So, yeah, maybe not related to why is called Lemmy, but fuck spez!
- Comment on How are you actually doing today? 3 weeks ago:
I’m so sorry. Losing our best friends is incredibly hard.

What makes a scent good is how it smells on you , the way it interacts with your own chemistry, and how it makes you feel. If he likes it and he feels good and more confident wearing it, that’s worth it.
- Comment on How can I determine how much to contribute to charity to reduce US federal taxes? 4 weeks ago:
Max out your pre-tax investments. 401k, HSA, 529, IRA, …

The bond that keeps OP and their son together is family, but the bond that keeps you tied to your family is free food?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Try to think of it as your part time job to pay for school. At least you also benefit from the food and such, you kind of set your own hours, and you’re not dealing with the general public like a retail job.
I don’t know anything about Romanian culture. Is that wife plus younger sex partner kind of an older norm? There’s a term in French or Italian - something about happy hours or 6 o’clock girl, something like that, for the fling time between work and dinner with the family.

If you’d like to read about it from a source that doesn’t pepper the article with propaganda like ‘radical leftists’, here’s an option. cbsnews.com/…/9-year-old-juvenile-baltimore-carja…

I work in special ed. There’s a lot of money in autism right now, so there’s some extra funding for therapies. A diagnosis can get you more school services - I’ve had kids who really needed in-home parent training but they couldn’t get it because parents declined the AU label. Some of the accommodations you get in school can carry over into college - extra time for tests, etc.

For the really good nights
- Comment on I'm pretty sure all of us have given up on any boomer giving us anything anyway 1 month ago:
Watched my mom work her ass off to raise me and save everything she could for retirement. She got to do some fun things, but not enough. I’m glad she had good insurance and a little money saved for when she got sick. I inherited a house with a mortgage, taxes, insurance, and repairs that are bleeding me dry and I’m pulling money out of my retirement to cover it. I’m thankful that it’s given my son a decent place to live for the last year and i hope to break even when we sell it. I’m fine with that. I didn’t earn it. I didn’t take care of her for money. If you’re only helping your family because you want money, you suck and they’re probably better off without you.

- Comment on Texas Sues New York Doctor for Mailing Abortion Pills | The lawsuit, filed on Thursday, appeared to be among the first attempts to stop doctors from mailing the medication to states that ban abortions 2 months ago:
I’m in Texas - unlikely to need them, but i have a source that will send them ‘for possible future use’ and I’m considering buying a pack in case my DIL or a friend needs it. What happens if you are one of the few who has a complication and go to the hospital? I guess you find a duck you trust and call them?
