Here's a version of this list outside of a large U.S. city, plus a cheapo version for people who don't have that kinda cash. Breakdown of the costs of a “well-maintained” attractive woman everywhere else (U.S.): .- hair: $200/every 2-3 mnths .- facials: $0 total waste of money.

There are several safety nets in place that you really only find out about if you don't have insurance and your baby is in the NICU. My daughter was in the NICU for 2+ months and we paid basically nothing thanks to insurance. She was also automatically signed up for Social.
For Gideon's two-week NICU stay, no major procedures, the bill was more than the value of our house. Thanks to good insurance, we'll pay just 6k for everything, but this is insanity. You can be conservative and capitalist and admit the American healthcare system is broken.

Go look at the reading list and tell me if a) it includes "the most important texts in social theory from the last century" or b) it presents multiple POV thereby or otherwise suggesting in any way that the prof isn't expecting agreement.
still don't know how to explain to people that when a course assigns texts like the prof isn't expecting or even hoping that you'll agree with them. it's just that these are the most important texts in social theory from the last century lol.

Maybe they should make it kinda like social security, and the amount a woman gets for having a kid is based on her last five years’ income.
Honestly the problem is that the opportunity cost of having a kid, for American women, is in the six figure range and everyone is proposing giving them 2000 bucks for two years.

People used to be able to make idle chitchat at work and share passing thoughts without being posted on the internet as some tale for scolds to hold up as representative of their entire generation. She probably remembers that time.
65 year old boomer at work complaining that she’s about to become a grandmother. “I don’t want to be a grandmother. It makes me feel old”.

Every time I am a little swayed by pro-gun control arguments, some tweet about the UK crosses my feed. They can’t have knives or pepper spray?!?! God bless America!.
Women need to be able to defend themselves in the UK. Pepper spray should be legalised. We’ve been PUT in this situation therefore we should be able to defend ourselves. Makes me laugh that it’s ‘illegal’ to carry. So is illegally entering a country but that doesn’t seem to.

Must be from all that time they spent alone scrolling. WWII vets, divorcés, merchant marines on a roadtrip are so innocent in comparison.
You read Kerouac and realize the young were younger back then. There’s an alien sensibility of lightness and innocence. No one’s like that anymore. The young today carry an immense grief on them. The whole color scheme’s blue tinted into sadness and a nebulous sense of guilt.
