Greta Thunberg in 2023: If we don't end fossil fuels, it will be a "death sentence." Greta Thunberg in 2026: President Trump must allow oil imports to Cuba. I guess the "climate crisis" has negotiable deadlines.

my FIL has a friend in her mid 80s who has fallen victim to a con artist cleaning lady. this lady has managed to gain access to her credit cards and changed the old woman’s phone number so that nobody can get into the account using 2fa. she stole her car under the guise of getting it serviced. the old woman refuses to believe that the cleaning lady has done anything bad, despite the fact she was previously convicted of fraud. it’s been an absolute nightmare that my FIL is spending hours and hours making calls and visiting her home and the bank trying to fix. he’s also helping her with things like taxes, which she previously relied on her late husband for and is too old to figure out now. she has no children and it seems that without my FIL’s awareness and kindness, she’d likely be scammed out of everything she owns. it’s so sad to me. at a certain age people become helpless like children again. super scary how many people in that state have no family to help them, and that number’s only going up.

the replies to this are largely “why would you forcibly-inseminate an egg w/ defective sperm” and i need ppl to understand the whole foundation of our world is built on the premise of allowing men to bypass women’s autonomous mate selection since the advent of patriarchy

I’m sorry if this is an unpopular opinion. Families adopting a child from a young mom, shouldn’t be allowed to wait at the hospital during the birth. They should be notified after, once Mama has had a little time with the child and is able to fully commit to the decision.
