This is why healing is so important. They didn’t heal, instead they harbored a grudge. It’s just like an abused child growing up and abusing their own children. Some people are unable or unwilling to do the work to break the cycle.

Change the mom to a restaurant and it makes more sense. The whole point of paying a restaurant is that each person can get whatever meal they want simultaneously, like how the point of cable or streaming services is to have various kinds of content. If the restaurant decides they’re only going to serve one meal no matter what people order, well, most people aren’t going to pay for that. The mom can do whatever she wants because she isn’t getting paid to make all these meals, and her “customers” are children who aren’t allowed to eat anywhere else.

Yeah Oregon and Washington just passed this, it doesnt even take effect until next year.

From the WA State Standard: “Workers will be eligible for unemployment benefits starting 15 to 21 days after the strike begins, depending on the day the strike starts. If the contract is resolved before that time, benefits will not be issued.”

So basically only if the strike goes on for several weeks, and also if the strikers get any retroactive pay then they have to pay back the unemployment. No one can just “strike for a day” and get paid like they’re claiming.

I think it’s selfish. How many of those jobs could have gone to someone who actually needs one? It’s essentially job hoarding. If you’re that much of a productive genius, why don’t you (the people with multiple well-paying jobs, not you personally) volunteer or start your own business and do something to actually improve the world instead of just hoarding wealth.

A third party delivery service doesn’t even need to contract with with the restaurant to sell their food. They can create their own website, food descriptions, and price markups, and the restaurant might not even know they’re doing it.

You should check first. I’ve only seen one brand of semisweet chocolate chips that didn’t have milk in them.

Yeah, ORGANIZE. Like with actual leaders and plans and shit, because individual violence isn’t going to accomplish anything.

I think most people wouldn’t be able to have ANY conversation after four whole bottles of wine. I certainly wouldn’t.

This analogy doesn’t really work. The point of going to a child’s concert isn’t to hear good music, it’s to celebrate and encourage the child for attempting to learn something new. Nobody in that audience is relying on the musical accuracy of the children.

A better analogy would be a professional orchestra that fires half its members and replaces them with inexperienced children. The orchestra mentions this change to no one, but continues selling tickets for $200. The audience rightly expects to hear accurate, professional music, because that’s what was advertised. But what they get instead is the quality of an elementary school concert.

Don’t watch Racing in the Rain. That movie was pure psychological torture.

I used to have that problem. I switched to 30 spf and don’t get burned anymore. I can’t really explain it, but my theory is that 50+ is marketing BS and doesn’t actually do anything. Or it could be that Banana Boat brand just really sucks and Hawaiian is more like lotion so it actually stays on my skin and also moisturizes, which probably helps because dry skin = gonna get burned.

The Fall was fantastic. Too bad it’s not available anywhere, even to buy.
