@JesterJum It's definitely open sesame youtu.be/rkqTWAw36Do?si…

Ive been alive 33 years and I just realized the saying is "Open Says Me" and not "Open Sesame"

@hinck07 @newstart_2024 Yes, it's very unfortunate what happens to women in other countries. That's why we're so lucky to be here!

@T65L @newstart_2024 Past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior. But not only the past. Take a look at the world around you. In countries where women don't have an income they also have no rights. Look at the middle east. Women are beaten and tortured, girls are forced to "marry" old men.

Jordan Peterson drops a truth most modern families don’t want to hear: “Daycare under three — especially in the first year — is really not advisable. There isn’t any form of care that can replace a mother’s care in those early years.” He calls it “quite remarkable” that we’ve engineered a world where staying home with young children has become a luxury for most families — “as if by design.” Decades of research (still largely unchanged) shows the critical attachment window in the first 3 years is uniquely supported by consistent, responsive maternal care. Disruptions here correlate with measurable increases in stress reactivity, behavioral issues, and later emotional difficulties. The question we’re afraid to ask: Have we made motherhood incompatible with economic survival on purpose? Parents (especially moms of young kids): Do you feel this pressure — that staying home feels like a luxury you can’t afford? Or have you seen the difference in your own children between early daycare vs. being home those first years? Your honest take 👇

@redheadranting @BogeyGolf78 I think a lot of it is living life and seeing other people's journeys. I remember thinking when I was young that forty was old.But forty was really great.And i've loved all my ages since. Your "give a damn button" gets busted too, which is a nice bonus of aging.😄

@BogeyGolf78 I wonder if it's just age and getting into those golden years?

I spent years fighting everything. My past. My circumstances. Other people. Turns out, that was the problem. The moment I stopped… everything changed. Not in a cheesy way – ok, maybe a little cheesy, but still – everything changed for the better. Sorry it's too long to post here and the articles feature gets less than zero views so it's on my blog. redheadranting.com/i-stopped-figh…

@itsanimalworlds I love how absolutely salty they always are. They're hilarious.

Look, but don't touch. I bite🐾😡

@hinck07 @newstart_2024 I'm sorry you feel that way. I don't see any reason that it would happen.

@T65L @newstart_2024 I know it will.

Who is the first sports team that you fell in love with as a kid? I’ll go first: The 1996 New England Patriots.

@hinck07 @newstart_2024 So what you're saying is you're afraid the Constitution will be amended to take away our right to vote and things like that?

@T65L @newstart_2024 What do you mean "what rights"? Obviously all of the rights that we've fought for during the past 100+ years. Which rock have you been hiding under.

@OrSoCoKat @VigilantFox it gets so annoying to read the constant harping that I have to put the books down sometimes. I don't care that they have different politics.I just want to be entertained and not lectured.I'm reading fiction.

@T65L @VigilantFox Yep, now I am tempted to trash the old books because of the author. But they were good stories so they stay, that is why I bought the book in the first place.

Actor Vince Vaughn calls out late-night comedians, says people like Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and others have all become the “SAME SHOW.” “It stopped being funny, and it started feeling like I was in a f*cking class I didn’t want to take.” THEO VON: “A lot of the late shows have struggled.” VINCE VAUGHN: “Oh, bro.” THEO: “Because… the only person they could make fun of at a certain point was just like white redneck kind of people. And it f*cking tanked [ratings].” VINCE: “I think that the talk shows, to a large part, became really agenda-based.” “They were gonna evangelize people to what they thought… It felt like they had an agenda.” “It stopped being funny, and it started feeling like I was in a f*cking class I didn’t want to take.” “They all became the same show.” “And they all became so about their politics and who’s good and who’s bad.” “Imagine sitting next to someone like that on a f*cking plane. You’d be like, how do I get out of this f*cking seat?” THEO: “I would FART right next to them.” VINCE: “You’d fart your way out of it?” THEO: “Yeah, I would. I would for sure.”

@OrSoCoKat @VigilantFox just made a similar comment on here several days ago. probably 95% percent of my favorite authors are leftists, but they didn't constantly shoehorn specific politics into their novels until about 10-15 years ago.

@VigilantFox It is the same with all entertainment. Especially books. So many fiction novels try to shove their beliefs down your throat. I have been using AI lately to ask before I read/buy.

@ButtercupPB @newstart_2024 how does one prove they were fired or not hired because they were pregnant?Those kinds of laws are ridiculous. mid level bosses don't usually have the power of the purse.

@T65L @newstart_2024 Um, again, what? It is the law that an employer cannot discriminate against a person who is pregnant. They cannot refuse to hire a pregnant person or fire a person for taking FMLA leave. That is the employer’s responsibility. If your boss is mistreating you, that’s on your boss.

@hinck07 @newstart_2024 What rights would be snatched away?

@T65L @newstart_2024 In the past they were because they had no money. Men only worship money. If all women became full time Moms again our rights would be snatched away in an instant.

@virtualhistoria @HammerTime_11 @newstart_2024 @debrasponge @grok You mean taxpayers pay it.

@T65L @HammerTime_11 @newstart_2024 @debrasponge @grok The company doesn’t pay it. The government does.

@Gabecheryl2 @newstart_2024 That sucks. Sorry to hear it.

@T65L @newstart_2024 No.We’d been together almost constantly over a yr, always calm&gentle. When he burned infant w/cig,went to family doc for help, told I was being hysterical. When he hit her in stomach, different doc said remove stress on him, my fault. 1970s different.

@ButtercupPB @newstart_2024 during the interview process,questions about familial status are rightfully not allowed by law. hence,pregnancy should be only the pregnant person's responsibility.some work can't be done by a temp because of confidentiality.

@T65L @newstart_2024 Um, what? You’re making no sense. Companies are required to allow 12 weeks FMLA maternity leave. They know when someone is on maternity leave, because the person signs up for leave. They should plan for a temp in the worker’s absence.

@hinck07 @newstart_2024 How are mothers denied basic human rights?

@T65L @newstart_2024 When wasn't her child there? Dud she send him to daycare? Its not about what people think, its about how mothers are treated. They shouldn't be denied basic human rights. They shouldn't be forced to live in poverty and abuse.

@hinck07 @newstart_2024 When he was at school. Otherwise when he was not in school, he was at home.

@redheadranting I had a rule when I was working called "old people time" for driving. I did not allow myself to get angry at anybody's driving slowly between the hours of ten a m and four p m. But at rush hour though, forget about it!😄

I drove behind an older gentleman today. He was going too slow, wandering out of his lane a bit. I started getting irritated but noticed he was talking to someone in the passenger seat. I noticed smaller hands as they talked to the driver so I decided this was a grandpa taking his grandson back to school after a dentist appointment and they were having one of those conversations only a grandpa and grandchild can have and suddenly I wasn’t irritated at all. In fact I was smiling because I rembered the conversations I used to have with my grandpa when he took me to the orthodontist. He'd pass me his cigar and suggest it only appropriate I go in with cigar smoke on me breath.

@ButtercupPB @newstart_2024 Companies are rightfully not allowed to ask applicants about their familial status. Familial status should then not become the problem of the company to deal with.

@T65L @newstart_2024 You shouldn’t, but that’s your boss’s fault. A decent boss would hire a temp or give you extra pay if you agreed to take on extra work. Stupid to blame a person for having a baby instead of blaming your boss who didn’t handle it professionally.

@ButtercupPB @crb0712 @newstart_2024 Around here they all suck now and I used to go to what was considered a good public school.It started sucking while I was there. even in my so called great school district, a lot of families paid to send their kids to private school.

@T65L @crb0712 @newstart_2024 Public schools vary WIDELY by school district. That’s why people pay a premium to live in a good school district.
