@_nomadic_soul My dad didn't. He said that the weight of knowing we were waiting for him to get home was too much for him.

I swear most of the boomers didn’t want kids.

my husband: Yeah life with little kids can get crazy sometimes, but I always remind myself I'm going to miss it one day. husband's mom: I don't miss it at all my parents: Yeah we don't either, and if we really do we can always hang out with grandkids which is many times easier

@tribecamick @_celia_bedelia_ I don't owe you my medical history. Best of luck to you.

@PolyLinaCat @_celia_bedelia_ what is your chronic auto immune condition called
English
I’d also like to point out that many people with chronic illnesses would love to exercise but often can’t BECAUSE of their chronic illnesses 🤷🏻♀️
celia@_celia_bedelia_
It’s honestly crazy how many people insist every single ailment you could possibly have would be made better with losing weight.
English
@tribecamick @_celia_bedelia_ I have a chronic auto-immune condition. When I engaged in physical activity enough to cause inflammation that would trigger an auto-immune response and the inflammation from that then would trigger more auto-immune responses, and so on. Creating a cascade.
English
@PolyLinaCat @_celia_bedelia_ exercise caused an auto immune response? I doubt that very much

@WonderKing82 In no particular order, the Michaels, Idris, or Daniel.

Why are the actors segregated??

@djangofetts I started buying the pre-cut fruit containers. Now I have fresh fruit most mornings without worrying about whether it'll go bad waiting for me to prep it.
English
like i've seen the argument that pre-cut and pre-prepared fruit/veg/salads/etc are beneficial and accessible for disabled people, but i never considered that would also apply to me, A Disabled Person
romanistan zindabad@djangofetts
realised there's no actual Deep Immoral Sin in buying one of those premade salads from the supermarket and suddenly my salad intake had SHOT up

@JadeK526 Look, I know my perimenopausal ass is awake at 3:15am, but I *do not* have time to get up, prepare a whole ceremony to worship the Dark Lord, and still be able to go back to sleep in an attempt to find some additional REM before the alarm goes off.
English
I forgot to do everything on the Atheist agenda. Anyone else?
English
@Bossy_Leah It takes more than that to prep the chicken, cook it, and then clean up the kitchen afterwards. Time that most struggling families would then have to sacrifice spending in other ways (like helping kids with homework).
English
No it’s not. It enforces laziness and raises prices.
Cooking four chicken breasts in the oven takes 20 minutes. Jesus.

Hot take: putting hot rotisserie chicken on food stamps is common sense. Arkansas took items like candy and soft drinks off SNAP. Now let’s put healthy, affordable options like hot rotisserie chicken on.

@baddiemaddie43 And the Uber drivers get *pissed* if you want to go to Hyde Park from anywhere North of the southernmost tip of the South Loop.

@she_obey The sweater in particular is a hilarious choice. There is no sweater on the planet baggy enough that it conceals large breasts and still fits in the arms.

Fuck you, me and my behemoth boobs will wear what we want.

@tonyhamm17 @iamAtheistGirl I'm a fan of canon Jesus not the fanfic Jesus. The fanfic Jesus crowd lost the thread a long time ago. Meanwhile I'm over here trying to advocate for the poor, the sick, the hungry. Because that's what canon Jesus would do.

@atrupar So...ummm...awkward...but... Can someone actually ask him what he thinks today's date is.... Like, is he perpetually stuck in the period between Election day 2020 and 1/6/21?

Trump: “The 2020 Presidential Election should be permanently wiped from the books and be of no further force or effect! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT”

@_celia_bedelia_ It's like they're completely ignoring *all* of the women in politics who wear power suits...
English
If you don’t know it’s okay for a woman to wear a suit without it meaning you’re trans you’re a fucking idiot. Holy shit.
Stellar_Fox@StellarFox16
The cult pretending not to know why women need to see it’s ok to dress in a suit without it meaning you are trans

@cmclymer I'm not a proponent of stealing. But if I see someone who is obviously struggling stealing from a corporate store.... I don't feel a moral imperative to tell on them.
English
I think it's bad to steal, and I think it's cringey for financially comfortable people to argue that petty theft from the grocery store is a savvy form of political protest.
English
@emzanotti I've known where my food comes from since the time I was old enough to understand. My line was that I just didn't want to eat anything I'd "met" before.
English
Raising chickens made everyone in our family *less* guilty about eating chicken.
John Thomas@thebbvegan
Do you think if children were told that they were eating a baby cow or a baby pig for dinner, that they would be happy about it and continue eating it as if nothing happened? No. I can guarantee you that if kids knew where their food comes from, they would be upset that they’re eating a dead animal.

@covie_93 It's because every truly extraordinarily brilliant person knows they're also a total bonehead sometimes. Usually their boneheadedness is directly proportional to their brilliance. Nature likes balance.

@shannonrwatts This looks like a "discussion" in my family, where the tension level is measured in how far out people's chins are from the rest of their body.

@HedgeUnderCover @HotmerRobin @DanaPalubiak Our house rule was you had to try some of everything offered before you could fill up on non-green things. Asparagus and artichokes were my favorite veggies growing up. Only lima beans had to be eaten in full (as punishment if we forgot to refill the cat's food dish).
English
@PolyLinaCat @HotmerRobin @DanaPalubiak More parents need to be like that. My son has food aversion and while I did introduce him to a lot, I also worked with his needs so that he would eat. He never went to bed hungry. I couldn't do that to him after having done that as a child. But it was nutritous food. Eggs and veg
English
The 'serve what you eat or they wait 12 hours' approach assumes every kid is neurotypical.
Some kids will genuinely starve before eating something that triggers a sensory aversion.
Fed is best. Even if it's chicken nuggets.
Dr. Camilo Ortiz 👨🏼🎓@DrCamiloOrtiz
No parent needs to have "child foods" like sugary cereals or processed chicken nuggets at home to "get their child to eat." For example, you serve them whatever you are eating for dinner. If they don't eat it, that's perfectly fine. Breakfast will be served in 12 hours.
