@AmericanCuler If youre so upset about how youre tipped, get a different job
English

Assuming these people were at the restaurant for 2 hours
A $60 tip means this server made $30/hour off this ONE TABLE
Is that not enough for a waiter to make?
Does being a waiter really need to be a $150/hour job?
The entitlement behind a lot of tipping culture is insane

@queenie4rmnola I’m somehow 46 and never been incarcerated. It’s not hard not to break the law.
English

We don't often talk about the psychological harm of mass incarceration, but we should.

Bro dreamed he was free… then woke up back inside prison

@larayapmaaq This isn’t just childbirth. This is being over weight. Stretch marks are a reality but you’re making this about men. It’s about the beautiful child she is holding. It isn’t a completion between men and women it’s a creation of life.

@loonlake55 Houses went up $100,000 in the last five years. Every young person is told to go to college and incur $50,000-$100,000 in debt before they even start adulthood. While everything you said is true, you have no idea what this generation is facing.

Too many young people are resenting Boomers, claiming that Boomers had it " easy " financially in their youth. Here are a few fun facts about growing up Boomer.
1. Almost everyone grew up with one bathroom. Mom, Dad and all 3-6 siblings.
2. If you did get to take a vacation, you drove. With no air conditioning. No cup holders. No iPads. Just black vinyl seats and bologna sandwiches.
3. There were no club sports. No Parks and Rec activities. Summer camp was for rich kids. Get yourself a bike, a stick and a few friends. If you were bored, you laid in the grass and looked at clouds.
4. You ate what was served. Even if it was chicken livers. No DoorDash, no backup Totino's rolls.
5. No AP classes, no PSEO, no "fun" elective. They assigned you to a class. You went. You did what they asked. Or else.
6. Unless you had rich parents, you had a nice VFW wedding. Maybe rent a room at a modest hotel.
7. Most Boomers got their first pedi and mani in their 50s (when their feet got farther away). We didn't even know people got massages in real life, only in Hollywood.
8. You packed your own lunch for decades.
9. No one knew what red light therapy was, a facial, a spa day, or a cold plunge. Your gym was the YMCA. Usually in a rather old building.
10. We grew up with 18 percent inflation, 14 percent mortgage rates, 3 million continuing unemployment claims, and 200 other applicants competing for the same job.
Now, this is not to say Millenials and Gen Z have it easy or don't face problems. It's just to say, nobody has it easy or doesn't face problems.
My only hope, as my mom would say, is I live long enough to see my kids' kids complain about how easy they had it!

@NoncompliantJM im in a similar position as you, sadly we dont have group homes or facilities like that in my country 😞 families like mine are suffering, deeply
English

Yeah. I worked in nursing homes for many years. Some of the residents with dementia needed up to four carers to attend to personal hygiene & more needed carers to do 2 hour turns caring for them exclusively. Longer than that was not psychologically supportable.

Every time I see the "you're a terrible person if you put your parents in the nursing home" discourse I crash out bc it's one of those things that you literally don't know wtf you're talking about unless you've been in that position yourself.

@NatalieSMyrick @atensnut But only in character. Without Jamie Frasier he does nothing for me.

@jcroisunfois @HPluckrose I cannot agree with you enough. We need an entire different name and category for those with profound autism.
English

@NoncompliantJM @HPluckrose deeply unfortunate that discussion around autism is dominated by people with autism... and who can speak in complete sentences. wildly unproductive to have such people speaking for those with a condition of the same name but far more critical needs
English

@HPluckrose Thank you. Yes, with him being 6’5” and 200lbs by the time we made this decision my husband and I were barely surviving. We see him weekly and love him so much and now when we see him we are rested and mentally well to interact with him and bring him home one weekend a month.
English

@NoncompliantJM So very difficult and painful. He needs a trained team who each go home and have long breaks, doesn't he. You would make yourselves ill trying and still not be able to keep him and the rest of the family safe.
English

@HPluckrose He had no safety awareness and would elope and wander. He needs a complete staff at all times to keep himself and everyone else safe. It was not possible for my husband and I to do alone.
English

@HPluckrose Thank you so much for the detail in which you explained this. We were forced to put our young adult son with non-verbal autism in a group home and so many don’t understand. He would self harm, be violent, attack our other children, punch holes in dry wall and break windows.
English

@AngelporrasXx If this were a woman writing this every single comment would be that she deserved better and that she should leave him.

Mi esposa lleva años con depresión severa. Ha dejado de trabajar, de reír y de vivir en general. Nuestra casa se volvió un lugar pesado, lleno de silencios y discusiones.
Ayer le pedí el divorcio.
Decidí que ya no puedo seguir en una relación donde me siento invisible. Sus padres me dijeron que soy un desalmado por abandonarla “en su peor momento”.
Lo que no dicen es que llevo años intentando sostener algo que se cae solo.
He estado, he insistido, he acompañado… pero también me he perdido en el proceso. No voy a seguir sacrificando mi salud mental por alguien que ya no puede estar presente.
¿Soy un egoísta por elegir mi paz, o soy el único que entiende que amar no siempre es quedarse?
Prefiero reconstruirme que seguir hundiéndome con alguien que no puede nadar. Nadie habla del que se ahoga intentando salvar.

@GeorgOrwhe54628 @Softnessa_ Thank you for this very articulate counterpoint.

@PooksMagoo @BowtiedQueenBee YOU are doing harm by not understanding the fundamentals of homeschooling. We don’t want the govt or these institutions involved in our choices. The minute the govt gives you money, they CONTROL it. How is that hard to understand?
English

@BowtiedQueenBee It’s crazy to me as a homeschool advocate you are willing to hamstring other homeschoolers based on personal beliefs. This is the elitist homeschool mentality that runs rampant throughout the community. You are doing more harm than good. Not that you care but unfollow.
English

@Christophe40537 @Softnessa_ Correct. He’s a parent that can help while awake and on his nights if they both work.
English

@NoncompliantJM @Softnessa_ No he’s still the parent that doesn’t change because he makes money
English

@timmiclark @flowidealism If you don’t believe this you need to hang out with more homeschooled kids. Many of them have small businesses in their teens.
English

@flowidealism Do you actually believe that this straw man is profound in any way?
English

A fourteen-year-old can take the initiative to build a business, interview thought leaders, identify problems in her community. But for six hours a day she's told to sit still and wait for permission to think. This is training in passivity disguised as school.
When you give young people agency, they don't collapse into idleness. They create. They build. They take on responsibility. The "they're not mature enough" argument has it backwards. Immaturity is trained into them.
English

@j_fishback While I do agree some reimbursement for homeschooling would be nice, it isn’t worth what will ultimately be the government telling you how to homeschool. The minute the govt is involved monetarily they will call the shots. I don’t want to co-parent with the govt.
English

@KILLTOPARTY This is like the third tweet this week where a man having “too tight of a grip” is an issue. Is this a new thing? Never heard this before and in my generation the joke or problem was always that men wouldn’t last long enough.
