  • Just because YOU weren't didn't mean it isn't common. Your parents did it the hard way. For no reason.

    I was leashed as a toddler in the early 90s. I am not ashamed of that.

    You don't leash kids at parties, that's an enclosed private space with little risk of them running off, what a weird pointless anecdote. You apparently being sheltered isn't a good argument.

    Sounds like you weren't going to places where very young children were in attendance. You use them in busy public places that require movement. Like a zoo. You see them all the time at places like that. It's better than a stroller and you don't have to worry about a half second of taking your eyes off the kids, they're jetting into the crowd. Even more useful if you have multiples.

  • I was a leash kid in the early 90s. I do not feel dehumanized knowing that was the case, like some of these childless reactionaries in the comments are claiming.

  • Wrong, it's perfectly normal.

    From the sounds of things, you are not a parent trying to comment on things you know nothing about. The leash actually gives toddlers freedom they wouldn't otherwise have. It lets them walk around, with some constraints, instead of being stuck riding in a stroller all the time. Kids at that age will jet off real quick. You take your eyes off then for a second and they're gone.

  • No it's not?

    They make leashes specifically for toddlers. They're pretty common.

  • You don't give him the work until he pays you enough for it. This is why you negotiate up front. Anyone who won't agree to a price ahead of time is trying to screw you over

  • More Than a Dozen U.S. Officials Sold Stocks Before Trump’s Tariffs Sent the Market Plunging

    Jump

  • They sold immediately before the announcement. They knew the exact timing to gain the most money they could, using their prior knowledge. They weren't guessing what would happen in the vague future. They had concrete knowledge the announcement was going to happen, how much the tariffs were for, and when.

  • We got the new deal it of the great depression though. It took Republicans many decades of dedication to dismantle what we gained from that.

  • Barely. It's not a long document to begin with.

    You can entirely rewrite something while still looking at the first version. It doesn't mean you start from scratch

  • Or they were rightfully worried that changing course that late in the game would have consequences.

    Biden should not have run in the first place. Speaking up that he should step aside like 2 months before the general is not the time to do it, all that does is sow further dissention.

    And look how that turned out.

  • ... What purpose would a not-connected-to-the-intranet device serve for my job which requires I check in my code to the local fucking intranet.

    You have no fucking idea what software developers do, do you? You think IT is going to be fine with usb drives being used to transfer proprietary code back and forth - that's a security nightmare and not worth the effort. Not that it would work because the is be unable to connect to the servers or databases the code I'm developing uses.

    Having a self administered machine, in the office, that I can't use to do my job is pointless

    Thank you for confirming you have never worked in an office.

  • I disagree, we need to do it the hard way and have actual reform so we have stronger checks and balances

    Which would require rewriting significant portions of the Constitution...

  • He did everything he set out to do. Gutted every agency that got in his way of doing whatever he wanted with his companies. That's not fair. He needs to be jailed for this sabotage of our government. Let's not let some narrative of failure muddy the water on him actually doing those things
