    Knew him in high school, he was rather shy but always a nice person. It’s still surreal to see pics of him in my news feed(s) but at least he is deserving of all the success and not a shitty person.

    I guess I should have tried to become better friends with him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’m only just slightly incredibly jealous of him!

    You’re not 100% convinced that it’s a fake after it literally tells you to eat pizza and watch a movie as advice to deal with marijuana addiction?

    Honestly I think you got me with not putting a /s because clearly you must be joking but part of me also is like “maybe people are this dumb?”. But I think I’m the dumb one here

    Yo I have 4 firearms and I find it disturbing too. It’s a huge cultural problem we have that, in my opinion, is one of the reasons we have so many more gun deaths than other nations around the world.

    I’m going to lovingly cradle my SKS and try to not think about it.

    We really fucked up when we didn’t hang all the slave owners and give their land to the slaves like was promised. And just let the Southern states basically recreate slavery. The whole leadership and political apparatus of the South should have been destroyed for good after the Civil War ended not the milquetoast bargain that we ended up with.

    The Union should have occupied those states and reformed the education system, the moral code and made damn sure anyone glorifying the Confederacy was hung. That and making sure the laws were just and fairly enforced.

    We still are dealing with the consequences of it to this day.

    Are you missing a /s on this, because some people unironically believe what you said so you’re gonna get showered in those down votes.

    I want this to have a /s, I wish it wasn’t necessary but in today’s world it seems to be. I read your post as satire fwiw

    Seems weird someone supportive of pride month says they don’t want to engage with it or be supportive because a corporation also knows June is pride month and marketing capitalizes on that.

    I don’t understand that, or maybe I’m misreading this post somehow?




  • There is no federal law guaranteeing maternity leave in the USA. We have a law that you have to provide … I want to say 12? … Weeks unpaid leave for new mothers but that’s pretty much it. They may be able to claim short term disability for some time they’re out of work which is half your income not all of it.

    Some individual states may have protections in their laws but it’s certainly not the norm. It really comes down to the company you work for. I work for a nice company. They gave me 10 weeks paid leave for parental leave, which is even more rare here for any kind of paternity leave (I’m a dude).

    It’s pretty sad honestly.
