The comments 🤣

@mmpadellan @elonmusk I wonder if @elonmusk would use his photo ID BEFORE getting gender affirming/ cosmetic surgery? Or his current one?

According to the Heritage Foundation, there have only been a total of 77 instances of voter fraud since 2003,out of over a billion votes cast. That's. 0003%. Ironically, trump has pardoned 70 people for fraud in the past year. Also, why don't you tell people when you talk about photo ID, you're NOT talking about drivers licenses. You mean PASSPORTS. Are you going to pay for each American to get a passport?

Unless we have photo ID, elections are obviously subject to massive unprovable fraud

@Pray2EndAbtn @SaraGonzalesTX @LauraLoomer Can You please give me driving directions to Europe? My GPS isn't working.

@SaraGonzalesTX @LauraLoomer You can understand that a plane isn't the best place for them and just drive. Your convenience should never inconvenience others.

Is there anything worse than a crying baby on a plane? I wish parents would control their children. It’s so disruptive. I refuse to believe a baby cries for 10 hours. At some point this is just bad parenting, right?

@motomotions @bowtiedmeathead Read it again. He has a bias: BOYS can do the trades, police, etc.

@docstaff @bowtiedmeathead I don’t think that is what he meant… I figured he was interested in things that may align with her personality and interests. Welding and fabrication may not be that thing, but who knows…

My wife and I were talking the other day about potential career options for my 15 yrs old daughter who really struggles in school and is likely not college bound/material. For guys it’s easy… Don’t want to go to college, pick a trade or figure something else out such as a police officer, firefighter etc. It’s not as easy for girls. I think she would do well in sales since she is attractive, has the personality and is extremely social (spends hours everyday talking on the phone to all her friends). For parents with daughters who aren’t on the college path…what are some real, high-income career options you’ve seen work?

@dewey_klepper @bowtiedmeathead FYI, in NYS, radiology tech takes a great deal of math/physics. It also requires direct interaction with other (disrobed) people and, honestly, touching and positioning their body parts. (This may not be the best choice for or the daughter you describe, or maybe it will?)

My daughter is in a similar situation academically. IEP since 2nd grade. About to be a junior. Unfortunately she is much more introverted. I am pushing for radiology tech. Its a 2 year program and the actual job is quite easy once you are trained. Pay is fantastic. Can get really specialized down the road and earn 6 figures in some areas.

@motomotions @bowtiedmeathead NO NO NO. Didn't you read the original post? Read it carefully. Then have your daughter read it. Girls cannot be welders!!!!! Absolutely not. No way; no how. (Maybe he's looking for a job that one does with one's vagina?? Because it has to be a girl job.)

@bowtiedmeathead My daughter is an artist and became a certified welder. Now she is like a Disney Imagineer making all sorts of cool stuff and making great money.

@AbbottNews When you do the libre view update on the 24th.. can you please take away " number of sources"? No one cares if the data is coming from six different sources over the past usage of the patient. NO ONE. It clogs the screen and slows things down.

@KirtonMcBonky @Bananadogs3 @LynnMaryKarjala you NAILED it!! Gorgeous cake and you are such a wonderful person for doing this.

@Bananadogs3 @LynnMaryKarjala each cake I volunteer to make I have attempted to pick up or try one new skill. this was my first go at "sugar glass"!

🎂 I volunteer to bake birthday cakes for kids in Foster Care/shelters This girl turning 4 asked for an Elsa cake I tried sugar work and it turned out so cute! I had 3 mini heart attacks and 1 existential crisis while breaking those sugar glass shards but LOOK AT THIS CAKE!

What a wonderful tradition!!

@CursinAkhenaten @the_mrtubs @holytstloasg

@docstaff @the_mrtubs @holytstloasg She’s simply overrated 🤣

the tour that changed my life opened 3 years ago today WTF 🥹😭😭😭🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭

@CursinAkhenaten @the_mrtubs @holytstloasg I'm sorry that whoever hurt you hurt you in such a way that you are like this. Seriously.

Michael had incredible talent both voice and choreography. Elvis defied mainstream and had an incredible voice. Taylor swift has none of this. She has legions of jaded 3s and 4s with snap chat filters and fake everything, singing breakup songs. I’ll give her this, she can keep pumping out poems for the hurt. That’s it though.

@CallMeAlexOnX @AnneAmbroseLMT @KurtSupeCPA I literally googled to confirm that there are, indeed, beavers in Oregon. (I figured there would be, based on the climate)

@docstaff @AnneAmbroseLMT @KurtSupeCPA Oregon State University (Beavers). Went there for college. They're pretty awful at football right now, but they have a great baseball team.

Couple comes in for their annual review. $2.8 million. Well invested. Solid Pension. Completely on track. I ask the question I ask everyone. "How is your daughter doing?" Mom's face changed first. Their daughter is 39. Hasn't asked for anything. Never complained. But she's been in the same apartment for six years. Daycare alone is $1,800 a month. Down payment feels impossible. Dad said "we always figured she'd get it eventually." I pulled up a simple chart. Statistically they live to 88. She inherits at 56. Maybe 60. At 60 her own retirement is eight years away. The money that could change everything at 39 arrives when her finish line is already close. Neither of them had ever seen it framed that way. The annual gift exclusion is $19,000 per parent per child. They can move $38,000 a year to her. No gift tax. No estate implications. Over ten years that's $380,000 transferred while they're healthy enough to watch it matter. Dad looked at his wife. "Why are we waiting?" Most families leave everything at death because nobody showed them the math of giving it while they're alive.

@CallMeAlexOnX @AnneAmbroseLMT @KurtSupeCPA My kid's @binghamtonu University has a T-shirt: Football, Undefeated for 46 years!! (They don't have a football team, hence them being undefeated!!)

@jonbrooks Pay more taxes so your friends can have: 1. Healthcare 2. Paid family leave to stay home w/baby for both parents 3. daycare funded 4. free afterschool programs. Maybe each house sale should have an additional 1% tax to fund this? $30,000,000 would have been raised byYOU alone

My friends in their 30s are deciding not to have kids They’re saying two things: They don’t have the money It’s inconvenient to their lifestyle This is not good. What do we do?

@CursinAkhenaten @the_mrtubs @holytstloasg BTW: Every generation seems to complain that the younger generation's music sucks... SMH

@docstaff @the_mrtubs @holytstloasg My only point from all this, is that there are far more talented artists that do the same thing. This generation has catapulted mediocrity to the top, not just in pop music. She’s average in just about every category.

@CallMeAlexOnX @AnneAmbroseLMT @KurtSupeCPA Btw, your kids are lucky to have you. Ps, looked on your profile. Who are the Beavers? My state (NY) animal is the Beaver!!

@docstaff @AnneAmbroseLMT @KurtSupeCPA Totally agree

@CursinAkhenaten @the_mrtubs @holytstloasg WAIT: when did Ella Fitzgerald enter the chat??????

@the_mrtubs @docstaff @holytstloasg You have a bias here. Not me. Why would I be projecting? You’re in here like a fan girl defending her. I am judging her on her music style and abilities while you’re“projecting” the idea that she’s more important than Ella Fitzgerald.

@ZachFOCO @AnneAmbroseLMT @KurtSupeCPA wait, there are people who want their kids to do WORSE than them? Did you mistype and they want to do better than their PARENTS did? Doesn't everyone work hard so their KIDS do well (not just financially, but are kind people and good stewards of the earth)??

@AnneAmbroseLMT @KurtSupeCPA Boomers truly are the most greedy and selfish generation. The economy is different now. Literally it's the first and only generation in history who a majority said they want to do better than their own children. Monsters.

@CallMeAlexOnX @AnneAmbroseLMT @KurtSupeCPA I don't really think most boomers are like that, it's more a lack of knowledge (they probably weren't gifted money by their aged parents). The OP is posting for precisely this reason, to show people what you already know: you can help the future generation build wealth/success!

What a selfish boomer response. My parents are not wealthy, and they wish every single day they could help my wife and I. But I work hard and am building up so that I can make sure my children are set up for success. But most boomers who do have wealth want to blow their savings on cruises and worthless things. I want to use every penny to help my future generation build wealth and learn how to be successful. I want my children to thrive and teach them to pay it forward. We are not the same.
