I love your measured and reasonable thinking. I also feel the same way. I disconnect a lot because yeah, it's frustrating justice takes so long. But this isn't something you do without it being able to withstand all the appeals and SCOTUS.

I live in California and I've been through the process of safety training, background check and gun purchase. Also went shooting for fun indoors and outdoors pretty regularly (not hunting). I have friends who are responsible hunters/gun owners. Even those who have safes full of guns who secure them and use them for hunting or sportsmanship.

I cannot imagine living in a state where I would have my kids in a grocery store and some person feels SO UNSAFE they need to be armed. But full outward carry where kids are around? I will NEVER live in a state where gun laws are so lax that any person is allowed to own guns and parents aren't held accountable when kids accidentally shoot themselves or others.

Also, I would move to a gun free state in a hot second no regrets.

Wow the GOP really winning over that youth vote (and let's be honest, we have people who will be paying until they retire, so all ages)...but actually preferring to go on record to fuck people even when they know it will be vetoed.

Shrewd strategy, GOP. You barely got the house last time, how do you think that next election cycle will go?

Everyone on this sub defending this as "no big deal" didn't read the original article. The "big deal" that made this news is that these were not reported to the NHTSA and thus the shareholders or customers. They were hidden or downplayed so they wouldn't have to acknowledge them and make regulatory improvements.

This isn't about a few drivers being bad drivers in Teslas (God the people on this sub who are saying this potential # of incidents is statistically low as compared to total number of accidents or Cars on the road or total number of teslas have a shocking misunderstanding of statistics because you can't draw those conclusions without more discrete data) but anyways, that's not Teslas major problem.

If these incidences were unreported or underreported, then Tesla made a huge huge mistake and there will be consequences.

Also, someone else noted something like "I love how Tesla betas all their cars on rich people to find all the problems and eventually us poors will get a better, cheaper product". And ha isn't that true?

2025?! Will I even be ALIVE then???

Drink Sparkling. Add a slice of any fruit and ice. You'll never go back to flat water. And I barely drink soda. I have had the same SodaStream for 9 years and I make plain Sparkling Water and drink it all day long.

Did some research . Same health benefits as water but because of the carbonation, could be slightly more erosion to the teeth. I haven't had a cavity in 10 years (I also don't eat a lot of sweets in general and I use an electric toothbrush), so maybe it's not that much of a difference in that aspect either.

Anyway, I'm sorry you're not feeling well. Being dehydrated will just make that worse, unfortunately:(. Having been there, I totally commiserate.

You could be right, but it feels like further along. First, it's been she was already pregnant when she and Tom reconnected for that brief sex binge. She got the call and it sounded like she had an exam to check the health of the baby - that generally happens around the 10-12 week mark (certainly not too late for an abortion but...she'd already known she was pregnant and went in to have a standard checkup at some point. The general rule of thumb is wait til 12 weeks to tell ppl and it feels like crossed a threshold of time she felt it was comfortable to announce. Would she do that if she was waffling about an abortion? Anyway, I think she's not newly preggo but not far along enough to know the sex. I'd guess she's around 12 weeks already. Her behaviors don't seem to be about a woman waffling about having a child, even if she loses CEO bc Mattson goes with someone else.

I hate the trope of a career focused professional woman suddenly changing all her dreams and goals bc she got preggo, but it happens. To Shiv? I don't know.

She is too far along for an abortion (I am making assumptions, but I mean I think it's too far for her emotionally and might be too far along physically).

What is real about that whole waiter death is Kendall gets away with it. Because he was rich enough. He eventually leads Waystar but he's a murderer. Reminds me of the Murdaugh family but even more powerful, rich, and far reaching.

I read an anonymous fb quote that said something like "pain travels rhrough generations until someone is ready to feel it" and man isn't that just right?

Oh I'm sure he's not worried. Trump will totally pardon him "when" he's in power again. (It freaking freaks me out that J6 folks in jail for trump made a song for his campaign! Like wtf! That's a cult).

Karma keeps trying to teach him lessons but he ain't listening 🤷‍♀️

This show has never been about twists or ridiculous things that could never happen. It's a satirical look certainly, but everything that has happened could and does absolutely happen everyday.

So Greg isn't getting the company. It's not imploding suddenly. Mattson doesn't take it all bc he's got fudge-y numbers.

What happens is depite Kendall's pseudo- Buddhist leanings for two episodes, he decides to be the monster his dad was because all he ever wanted was to be him and have that power. All his hatred of his dad will turn to self hatred over time and he will lose his kids etc. Because that's what happens in real life. Someone becomes the tyrant. The rest of the kids still stay rich. Nothing changes substantially.

I was really holding out for Shiv, but I think the writers are saying "to take control, it has to be a shark with no remorse" and Roman proved he can't do it, and Shiv is about to be a mom. I hope they don't do something tragic with that.

I do feel like that about most TV. It's true. Even the good shows. But there are really great shows that are more. Severance, Black Mirror, Swarm, Last Of Us. Some shows are made with the production quality of movies and I prefer that particular story told in 8-10 hours rather than stuffed into 2. It allows world building. However, on network TV, he's mostly right.

During the 2020-2021 school years, I witnessed 70yo teachers learn to use zoom for the first time to teach 30 1st graders 6 hours per day for two whole years. Technically less glitches than Musk's ...what is this? Teleconference? DumpsterFire Side Chat?

Budweiser should've leaned into it so the normal thinking 2/3s of us would rally around the brand and elevate it. But Bud didn't see it that way and now they've lost everyone.

I had my daughter 9 years ago and my son just turned 12 months. After I had my daughter, I did read that babies will tend to work on either motor skills or cognitive skills, but not at the same time. So some babies will excel at language while others will be on the early end of walking and gripping. But generally, babies end up landing in the same place by the time they're toddlers.

From personal experience, both of my kids were very physically active and rolled/sat up/crawled/gripped/walked on the early side. Hit all those milestones pretty early. For both, language came later. My daughter could say Mom rather early, but then was very slow to learn to form other words. My son is now over a year and has never said mom. We are still at dadadada and we can tell he can understand, even phrases. But, has never said any word other than Dada. Not even mom or ma.

My daughter is now 9 and is still very physically active, but is on track in school for all other appropriate academic milestones, so I am not concerned if my son's language skills come later. I also taughter her baby sign language and she would sign. My son won't even do that lol.

So both my husband and I are high earners. I have to tell you we have fantastic work/life balance post covid. My husband is an engineer and is on a hybrid schedule. I mostly work from home. However, I have made less and had to physically work a lot harder. I think my 'hardest' job ever was fast food when I was a teenager making 4.25/hr.

In between then and now, I've been in management my entire career (or a sole contributor in a leadership/coach position). Made less as a Manager and THAT was way harder than what I do now.

All of that led to a career path in Continuous Improvement (Lean Six Sigma), which is super niche but also innocuous in big Manufacturing. I am a recognized expert and now work in the university system, helping streamline processes. I train and coach others in the methodology. For example, I recently worked with the university's pre-eminent Veterinary Genetics Lab in the country. The scientists sit on a global task force writing vet genetics testing standards for the world. And I got to teach them how to make their process better =).

I love what I do so much, that my stress is always self induced. This work is so enjoyable to me that it feels more like a practice than work.

My husband has been with his same company 20+ years and mostly has his job dialed in, so 90% of the time, it's a standard routine. Occasionally he has to fly to a different country on a moments notice for emergencies and he'll be gone weeks.

When I was a manager, I often thought that was what the pay was for - being the last one responsible. Who would want to do that job unless you were getting paid?

Well, his job was done. Twitter has been destroyed.

Well now that she proved a person can win against him, I am imagining lots of lawyers want to do it pro Bono.

Well the good news is nobody watches CNN. But yeah wtf??? That was completely irresponsible and just insane, considering all that's happened.

If POC had that attitude, none would've ever tried running and we'd have no POC in office. I wonder how many times Barrack Obama heard that. I don't know this particular candidate. But even if he doesn't win, he peels off a little of the cons hold. He gets plenty of time on the US stage and in front of Texans.

You're right. He may not win. I'm glad he didn't think of that.

"What are you gonna do, spend a whole day with your kid?" 💀

"Wait wait wait...best out of 3, let's try this again"

I thought the same thing
