It’s only ever you in there. They just put away the props, take off the makeup, and get ready to argue about which color of pants should go with those shoes your spouse hates but you like so much.

And pin it to an inflation index maybe?

Fair point

Don’t you basically only need to change the pronouns you use to ask about their Significant Other, and maybe change the “when are you going to have kids?” to “when are you going to adopt a kid?”.

Starts with a “oh shit these old people have expensive healthcare needs!”, proceeds to “how the hell are we going to pay for their elder benefits?” (Social Security in the US), and eventually to “even their houses got gobbled up by the banks and private capital when they had to reverse mortgage their homes to pay off their medical bills and live out their final days…”

I’m so proud of you lot for even knowing what Death To Smoochy is. My fav movie of all time.

Don’t 👏 eat 👏 diseased 👏 meat 👏

Their strategy has always been “go so fast no one can keep up with the awful things, and pile controversies to cover up controversies”. A slow durable administrative action that respects separation of powers and doesn’t treat the executive as a godking was never in the cards.

This is capitalism people. Hire a parent doula. Let them do the busywork of digital parenting like minding internet activity, scheduling playdates, managing ad blockers, paying the Roblox allowance, or whatever largely digital activity your kids are involved with.

Charge nurse*. She is the main character whenever she’s in frame, no question.

Nah. Power is just the potential to do work. Clever electrical engineering just takes advantage of the teensy pushes and pulls to do that work. Like pushing a swing, I don’t move but my kid sure can go high when I apply those pushes and pulls at the right time.
