@BrentAWilliams2 Legal field. Always good jobs for staff in the legal field. Also far less likely to lose any jobs to AI because law firms are very wary of using AI for much beyond writing clarity assistance.

One of my daughter's biggest concerns right now is "will there be any jobs left by the time I get done with college", and it seems like no one has a cogent answer.
English
@MattMahanSJ Wow Matt. As a lifetime San Jose resident, I thought you had more sense than this. President Trump is doing what the majority of people want. Deporting illegals, cutting funds going to fraud, securing our borders, making other countries step up and spend money on their defense...
English
For me, it's pretty simple: the best argument against Trump and his dangerous MAGA agenda is proving that we can make government work.

@RealJessica Oh yeah, peace in his heart. 🙄FFS, like the "peace" she had in her heart? No!

Liberal woman gets charged for damaging a guys flag.
Then begs for forgiveness when he decides to press charges.
Think before you act. It’s not that difficult.

@Bossy_Leah It's like these people think the US just has endless amounts of money and needs to fix all the world's problems. I bet she's against the regime change in Iran though, where tens of thousands were slaughtered for protesting. 🙄

100% don’t care. Take care of your own people and leave my tax dollars out of it OR provide payment with resources. Those are the options.

This is horrifying and barely getting media coverage. Trump set April 30 as a deadline for the Zambian Govt. They must either accept Trump's new health funding agreement to have access to critical AIDS meds—and thus give the USA expanded access to its precious mineral resources like copper, lithium, and cobalt—or let its citizens die due to lack of vital AIDS medications. Zambia is 98% Christian. Christians will die as a result of Trump's extortion. Notice how MAGA is wholly silent? Barbaric.

@hashjenni It's not our duty or place to provide free healthcare for Africans in perpetuity. We've wasted millions/billions in Africa trying to prop up a population that doesn't want to adapt or better themselves. 🤷♀️
English
In case anyone isn’t aware, Trump is demanding Zambia to hand over its mineral rights by end of day tomorrow or the U.S. gov’t will cut off the country’s access to the AIDS medications that are literally keeping its citizens alive.
Just thought y’all should know.

@weddingpresent Sadly, I'm going to miss tomorrow's show in SF. If anyone wants 2 tickets free, please just DM me. 😓💔

The Wedding Present are on tour in North America. There’s no concert tonight… but tomorrow we’re in Novato, California, at the Hopmonk Tavern. scopitones.co.uk/forthcomingcon…

@RepGraceMeng SNAP and EBT should be eliminated. People need food, fine, we'll given them the staples. Flour, Sugar, rice, beans, cheese, pasta, chicken, beef, vegetables. They have to have incentive to get off the benefits. SNAP makes perpetual victims on government support.
English
Why stop at rotisserie chicken?
Everyone should be able to buy a hot meal, with or without a Costco membership (or even liking chicken). That’s why my Hot Foods Act lets SNAP cover ALL hot, prepared foods!
U.S. Senator John Fetterman@SenFettermanPA
Feed our busy and hardworking families with real food. Costco’s hot rotisserie — $4.99. We introduced a bipartisan bill to make our SNAP families’ lives a little more affordable + convenient in America. 🇺🇸 fetterman.senate.gov/fetterman-coll…

@BaldwinIVofJer I wanted to take adult confirmation classes, but had to have an unrelated adult sponsor me. The only other Catholic adults I know are my dad, which is no cause we're related, and a few friends scattered across the country. So no confirmation for me I guess. Why the gatekeeping?
English
“It’s your sixth child, you’re an active and involved member of the parish, your older sons even altar serve, but we need you to attend these pre-baptism classes. Adults only, don’t bring your kids. Find a babysitter.”

I'm not going to argue against Baptism of Desire, but I feel like it's allowed a lot of parishes to put up too many obstacles between the people and the sacraments, using it as a safeguard. "Well, he died during his 5 year OCIA and we didn't baptized him, but he had desire."
English
@RealPostFolder Sorry, saving used jars and putting nothing in them and acting really upset when they're thrown out is mental illness. I'm with the spouse on this one
English
So, let me get this straight.
You observed a problem, and discussed it with your wife.
Your wife expressed that the items causing the problem were important to her.
No compromises or alternate solutions were presented or discussed. No resolution was reached.
So you, unilaterally and behind her back, threw away items that she specifically told you were important to her.
Did it never occur to you to maybe box them up and put them in a closet? Or put them on a higher shelf? Or any of a dozen other potential compromises that would remove the danger without costing her something she obviously valued?
English
@TraditionSarah You did good girl! I spent $5k on mine which included the dress, venue and an open bar. No favors, no bridesmaids/groomsmen. I did spend $2500 for photos because I planned for this to be my only wedding. So many people spend $50-$100k and are divorced a few years later. 🙄
English
I got my wedding dress from Macys for $50. I did my own hair. My flowers were $5 fake stems. Our entire wedding cost less than $1500.
No matter the event, frugality is cool kids.

@Dexerto We were above a unit where the dad worked nights. His young son would wail, cry, shriek and carry on for hours between 7-11pm. If I could have played it back to them all day long, I would have. Babies don't cry incessantly for 16 hours unless there's something wrong.

@RealAshlar This happened to me on a British airways flight and the attendant laughed at me. Never again!
English
I was soaked from head to undies LITERALLY...embarrassed is an understatement...was not moved but given a few paper towels and YES my entire flight I was soaked like this several times.. thats not spilled water, that's your cabins collected air condensation leaking all over me Being video recorded by several passengers and they also complained on my behalf... I have plenty of pix and videos too.

Men need to learn how to actually like women. They just don't seem to like them.

@NonArgumentum @RulerofNV I agree. They would not have intelligence and personality if they weren't here to play a role in our lives. I often think animals can help us be closer to God and the world around us. He would not exclude them from heaven.
English
@RulerofNV It never made sense to me that God would create such a Potpourri of creatures on earth and then exclude all but the one creature who betrayed him from his kingdom.
English
My most unorthodox take is that I believe animals will be in heaven
English
@middle_class_us But we're throwing money at the mentally ill and drug addicts that would rather be on the streets. 🙄

There are people sleeping in Walmart parking lots.
Showering at Planet Fitness.
Working full time jobs.
Just priced out of everything else.
That’s where the floor is now.

@donnajloveshs @MarkOliverio @end3of6days9 OMG, I remember that "deep hole to the center of the earth" escalator! I don't think I could handle those now. They scared the crap out of me when I was 12.
English
@IAdler71 @MarkOliverio @end3of6days9 The escalators out of the Metro in DC are the worst! Last time I was there, I was holding onto the railing for dear life. I genuinely thought I was going to fall back and kill myself and everyone behind me. Meanwhile, people are flying by to the left of me.

⛸️This woman just got back from her third date and says she won’t be seeing him again.
She had been crystal clear with her date — who is also a doctor — that she has vertigo and does NOT ice skate.
He knew it and agreed to other activities… then still booked two full hours on the ice, pressured her onto it, and spent the whole time showing off laps while she hugged the wall dizzy and miserable.
She finally left mid-date.
Ignoring someone’s explicit boundaries — especially when they’re health-related — tells you everything you need to know.
Have you ever had a date (or anyone) completely blow past a clear “no” you gave them, especially something health-related? Or what’s the earliest red flag that made you walk away?

@kane Worked for a firm that had an Oakland office. Because I was visiting I was allowed to use secure building parking. The other employees were required to pay for parking. Many took Bart as a result and they described experiencing multiple muggings. 🙄
English
A friend was offered a senior MD role at Kaiser in Oakland. One of the perks they emphasized was security escorts to parking.
She was pregnant at the time and didn’t take the offer because shortly after she visited a toddler was shot in the head nearby.
elisa@ehlicita
I really can’t take people seriously when they say they’re scared of being in oakland 😭

@LndamyDark I think the fuss is all manufactured. You're told it's a nice bag. You're told it's luxurious. You're told it's worth an insane amount of money. Certain people are worried enough about what others think that they believe it. 🙄
English
Can somebody please explain to me what the fascination is with these bags? How can you spend so much money on a purse? Me personally, I'd rather have the money that goes in the purse than spending the money on the purse, but I might be wrong here. What are your thoughts on this?

Today is always a difficult day for me and my family. This day marks the 11th anniversary of my wife passing away from heart failure unexpectedly. She was 36 years old, I was 37 and our 2 kids were 10 and 14.
This is one of the main reasons I changed the way I see life, and a reminder to all who read this.
Our time here could end quickly. So be kind to others, you never know what they are going through. Live life to the fullest, you never know when your time will end. And take the time to enjoy the little things around you, you may never experience them again. Life is much much shorter than we expect.
