If you have a flower pot that fits inside another you can pour some cool water in the big one, place the smaller one insider that pot and cover both with a wet cloth. It will keep the food cool for a bit longer.

I know exactly how you mean. At first they can come off a bit nervous and maybe even a bit adorable with their hyper fixation, until you challenge them on it and they turn absolutely feral.

My spending habits after getting an extra bonus at work show that I might just be a very old child who cannot be trusted to manage my own money.

You seem to be suffering some kind of break with reality, do you need me to contact a doctor for you?

Ok then, thank you for sharing, your contribution to the conversation has been noted.

What I would like for you to do is to calm down, walk outside, and gently, ever so gently, touch some grass. Maybe realize that freaking out on social media is not attractive or interesting. You can walk away and still maintain a bit of dignity here.

That profile tells me if I went out with him I would be held hostage in a mid restaurant he insisted on while telling me the food is, "fire," while he tells me all about how crypto is gonna change the world. Then after his third cocktail he will bounce leaving me with the bill.

The clearest sign of who a man is is when he is asked to forgo something in order to protect another. If he is not willing to set up his life in a way that accommodates for your well being in even a minor way he is not to be relied on.

Bullies like this boss get off on thinking he has power, but I can assure you, petty little pricks like him are the favorite prey of certain lawyers. One of my former bosses loves making people like him cry.

Everything and take it to her, and legally she should be protected from retaliation and as he is a rulebook of violations she should be safe. If she does get terminated this case would be a gift and easy win by the DOL and any lawyer who could even stay awake at trial.

Legally the boss is already in hot water. Demotion after FMLA is not legal. What he is asking her to do is not legal. I would suggest check phone recording consent in her state, if it a party consent state she can record calls from him requesting her to spy on her coworker. She needs to document...

Money exists solely to facilitate trade, we are seeing it instead used to hoard power and control lives, so honestly we have two choices. Nationalize payment processers or abandon this economic system. Capitalism seems to have reached the end of its usefulness to us.

In addition to the above, there is no where else I can overnight a miracle nipple or quality kitten formula if we need supplies in an emergency at midnight. We are in a relatively rural area with no pet stores open 24-hours. I hate to say it but using Amazon has absolutely saved tiny lives before.

Then as those kids have grown up on that art we see those patriarchal lessons doubled down on over and over again and it is becoming a feedback loop of bs.
Gnome Pickles (@gnomepickles.bsky.social) reply parent
I apologize if I gave the wrong impression that this is something we were just taught. Way I look at it the media we raise boys on has made. The problem worse because ideas of the patriarchy have become so ingrained in art. We teach patriarchal lessons to kids earlier and earlier and enforce it.
Gnome Pickles (@gnomepickles.bsky.social) reply parent
Honestly I think it's the media we all grew up with. We grew up being promised a pretty woman just because we are the hero of the story. It's good to be reminded that women are actually people who can say no and aren't gonna find our plucky sexual harassment cute and endearing.
Gnome Pickles (@gnomepickles.bsky.social) reply parent
I go beyond it being ok, I think it's needed. We need a reminder sometimes that we aren't owed attention from women. It reminds us that we aren't the center of the universe.

Family you are born with is the suggested party for the rpg of life. Sometimes that doesn't match your play style, and it is ok to customize that party and to remove a member who ruins your entire strategy.

Not justifying their hatred of people in urban areas. You are doing Trump's and the Republicans job for them here dude. I am shocked you cannot see that.
Gnome Pickles (@gnomepickles.bsky.social) reply parent
Democrats have viewed rural areas as acceptable to lose because they take for granted the support of people in urban spaces. Republicans have made their lives worse and screamed that the city is scary and hurting them. The way to win their vote is working to improve their lives and making inroads.

You have flatly said that you want people in rural areas to suffer as punishment for voting incorrectly. Nobody is saying giving people in rural areas higher priority, we are saying stop ignoring their needs which both parties have been doing for generations.

How about we work to elevate the lives of all people? Not just people who voted our way, but all people. Not to win political points, but because it is the right thing to do. Imagine if we lived up to our ideals. I get you're angry, you have a right to be, but the way you're expressing it is gross.

Exactly. Like sexuality isn't something that is wrong or bad. We just don't want it to be everything. It just needs to have a reason to be there, a reason beyond the writer wanted to include it I mean. Representation doesn't mean, "look a woman is there," it means a woman exists as a full character.

I am sorry, but choosing your boyfriend's comfort over having your grandchild at a holiday, madam, are you mad? In all seriousness, kind of reads like the boyfriend is starting to edit people out of the mother's life. If she caves he edits out grandkid, if she doesn't he edits out daughter too.

The Democrats entire response to Trump has been so historically mismanaged that it makes me want to cry. Republicans would rather die then vote for any Democrat and alienating the Leftist vote isn't working, but the universe will experience heat death before they accept that.
