- Comment on Australia | Worse than Russia? Voters fear Trump’s America 2 days ago:
As an American, i believe everyone should shift away from us. We’ve shown that we can’t be trusted. Hopefully this will pass, but until then we need to be put into time out.
- Comment on Mexico bans junk food sales in schools in its latest salvo against child obesity 4 days ago:
These types of bans are rarelt effective. My school banned sodas in vending machines - replaced them with diet soda and non-carbonated sugary drinks.

It’s free to read online

Everytime we find a doc we like, they leave to do concierge medicine.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Grammatically you’re _____ -American for one generation. After that you’re just American. Which makes African American super confusing and weird.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
People who seem reasonable still say there are good people on both sides. I don’t understand that at all! My hairstylist moved here from vietnam as a kid. Last week i made a comment about bezos and he actually said, “both sides…”. I thought my brain was going to pop.
- Comment on What kind of car is this? 1 week ago:
It has the same screen as my Jeep, including the off-road pages.
- Comment on Why would an all loving god create hell? 1 week ago:
You’re trying to put emotions into the afterlife and describe nature as a ‘he’. Unless you know of someone going to the other side and reporting back, it’s all just speculation.
- Comment on How do you not feel overwhelmed using Mastodon? 1 week ago:
I agree. My brief Twitter usage was following bars, restaurants, and music venues to see happy hour specials and upcoming events.

Half of Americans who cared/knew enough to vote.
- Comment on A police officer just dropped off our water bill 2 weeks ago:
Maybe it accidentally went to his house and he was delivering it?
- Comment on Wall texture 3 weeks ago:
Thanks. When you say scrape - is that sanding it? Most of it has been painted. Contractor mentioned skim coating it and putting new texture or adding thin drywall. What would you do?

- Comment on The human hand is incredibly good at seeing what's inside your pocket 3 weeks ago:
US coins too. Big, small, thick, thin, smooth, knurled.

Weed is better for forgetting. Alcohol is better for not caring.
- Comment on One in 15 Americans has witnessed a mass shooting – study 3 weeks ago:
“1 in 15” implies that you can ask 15 people and find one. Most Americans know more than 15 people and don’t know anyone who has witnessed a mass shooting. A small percentage know a lot of people who have.
- Comment on One in 15 Americans has witnessed a mass shooting – study 3 weeks ago:
Thousands of people enter the US every day for work, family, commerce, etc., most without incident.
- Comment on One in 15 Americans has witnessed a mass shooting – study 3 weeks ago:
This is a misleading headline. Obviously a mass shooting involves a mass of people so this is pretty localized, much higher in areas around those shootings but much lower in the rest of the country. It makes people in other countries think they will step off the plane into a shootout.

Meddling kids!

Nice use of industry terminology!
- Comment on work related: is this something only an autistic would ask? 4 weeks ago:
Your question seems reasonable and their reaction seems unreasonable. Either way, you don’t have to work the extra shift.
- Comment on low iq in love with high iq person, is that bad?? 4 weeks ago:
Kindness, compassion, sense of humor, open mind, love of learning, and the self confidence to not let yourself be trampled are the qualities a partner will be attracted to.
Both of my sons are very smart and they’ve both dated women who were likely above and below them. The ones who stick around the longest are the ones who have the personality to match theirs- and to stand up to them when they’re being jerky.
I love that my husband is smart, but i hate that he can be difficult to work with on projects because he’s not used to being wrong.

I was an adult when I learned that some people say flick instead of flip.
- Comment on Czechs counter Trump with crowdfunded Black Hawk helicopter for Ukraine 4 weeks ago:
- Comment on What are the exact ramifications and consequences of the recent meeting with Zelenskyy and Trump/JD? 4 weeks ago:
I would expect the first consequence - if it hasn’t happened already - would be for other countries to recognize that they can’t share intelligence with us and shouldn’t trust any they get from us.
- Comment on What’s the difference between pansexuality and bisexuality? 4 weeks ago:
This is so far over my head - i don’t understand it. I know my comment will likely be taken as offensive or condescending, but it’s really not the intent. I am so confused by sexuality/gender discussions. I don’t understand having a label that’s inclusive or exclusive of who someone will or won’t date. Doesn’t that change based on the people you meet? If you label one way, you meet someone you find attractive, you have chemistry, and then you find that they have parts that don’t fit your label, what do you do? I guess it’s part of dating - to weed out what you’re usually not attracted to? I partnered/married young, so that aspect of dating wasn’t openly discussed in the same way- we didn’t have the common words to describe like we have today. Also, being hetero and having mostly hetero friends, i guess we didn’t spend time thinking about how our relationships were similar or different from each others. I definitely understand putting descriptions of any kind of love out there so young people know they’re not alone, but beyond that I’m lost.
