I like that DDG lets you put date perameters on searches. Usually when looking for reciepies, I seach only from 1998-2016.

lemme get some of that sweet old internet

Where is it, Finland, that has fines as a percentage of income?

I think it’s a great policy

someone died on a main drag of road at about 3pm one day right before christmas. Car accident, car hit a guy on a moped.

I got out of work at 6 and had to take the road home. There was this absolute prick speeding, weaving through traffic and being dangerous. Speeding to the gas station, so I pulled in behind him. I told him somone died just hours earlier on this road from dangerous driving, someone lost thier son right before christmas and asked him to follow traffic laws, and slow down.

he goes, “sweetheart, I got places to be”. I raised my voice, “so does everyone else, that doesnt mean you can speed and potentially kill someone, youre not special”. drove off.

“I got places to be”

people are so selfish.

Seriously, Ive gotten one ticket in 20 years. One.

go off auntie!

I think, honestly I mean this in the nicest way possible, but maybe this conversation isnt for you. Perhaps you took folks criticisms to heart and/or personally, as you are close to the source and involved day to day. Dont get your feelings hurt in here. Keep trying to be a good apple and do what you can.

I hate Ai but, don’t hate you or the work youve been doing since the 90’s be easy mate

*I mean it though about employee ownership. nceo.org All im sayin it sounds like your company would fit right in.

not as unique as actually employee owned business’ with profit sharing and actual ownership in the company. Great you foster culture, but if a company is for the workers, it shouldnt be an issue to go employee owned. maybe next steps. who knows, if youre in the states, which saying you offer a 401k, Im guess you are, nceo.org is a great place to start.

one bad apple spoils the bunch, isnt that how it goes?

How about employee owned? The fuck employee forward mean?

I hate socks. bare feet on clean floors is about the best feeling, only outdone by being in the yard barefoot.

love this lol, thank you!

It irked me the year my neighbors girlfriend got free bikes from the tommy toy fund for her two kids, pregnant with her third. She tried to sell the bikes on FB market place, and the nighbors roommate called her out on it. Idk if she sold them or not but it did upset me when it was happening, to take from your kids like that.

Years later I realized, theyre just poor. She didnt finish High School, came from poverty and sometimes you do not so moral shit to pay your bills. The boyfriend worked at walmart, similar background as his girl, and they probably were trying their best. I cant be mad their parents didnt instill the importance of education, this young couple were just trying to get by. If she wasnt desperate, she would have kept the bikes for her children Id bet.

A very different person, a person of poverty for their whole life said to me once, “you gotta take what you can get”. While they used it as a way to excuse non ethical ways of living, which I didnt agree with, the years have shown me how folks can take this and run with the line of thinking. “Poverty Brain” I call it. Its more sad than infuriating now.

Our society is not built for everyone, and if thats not the human goal, I dont understand why we’re here.

When I was homless a friend gave me a really nice, large heavy blanket that came from her well off mothers house. It was the nicest blanket I ever owned. It got stolen from a laundry mat. I was SO upset, but even then, just hoped, that person needed the blanket more than I did.

or mom should not lie and live in fantasy?

If the truth would embarrass you if others knew, why would you do it?

thank you, I found this informative

snapping plastics is the most infuriating thing when it happens.

This vid isnt loading for me, it there an alt link I can use?

Ill never forget I got banned from some sub that hit the front page for saying “the housing market is insane right now”. I was being ableist guys, apparently…

This was it for me too

the opposite can be true then too, no?

You cant tell anyone you live at home because they all react poorly. Thats what you were saying.

Helping your children shows you care about thier wellbeing. They dont stop being your children when they become adults.

So, I was orphaned with living parents.

My partners father has some finacial security to say the least, when he was in his early 20s my partner was stuggling hard to get his footing due to mental health, and his father (or grandfather, both played a role I know) got him a single wide trailer in a park. No doubt thinking it be a starter home for him 20 years ago, however, we still live there. We wouldnt be able to raise our own son as well as we can without this leg up. It has afforded us comfort for the next gen of kids. We still struggle, but not nearly as much as we could be.

I spent my entire 20s struggling because I was a ward of the state in turning 18, and was left on the street. My grandmother, helped my mom with everything, cars, groceries, bills, even vacations. I got nothing. I was homeless while they had houses, I never did drugs, always had a job. My mother got all the help and I was left on the street, literally.

why did my grandmother help my mom? why did my mom not help me? My mom never so much as bought me a pair of school shoes, never mind a house. Why does my partners father still help his 40 year old son? The washing machine broke, so they got him a new one as a early christmas gift. Im so fucking greatful for his parents. And in turn, I can be generous with my own kin.

My parents let me struggle and neglected me, while they got all the help from their parents. Its not hard to see why folks find this unfair. Do you know what its like to be homless on the street while your grandmother has a five bedroom, empty house she wont let you live in? It crushes you, it makes you feel worthless to them.

Id rather help my child so they can be successful and happy.
