  • Parents opt kids out of school laptops, ask for pen-and-paper

  • Other conditions exist. I have auditory processing disorder and one part of it is an involuntary disabling of my audio processing when my brain is trying to focus on something, particularly anything else to do with language like note-taking. My ears will "hear" but my brain won't.

    It wasn't completely debilitating, but it made certain kinds of classes inordinately difficult for me. Discussion based classes were a nightmare for me, and no amount of practice could change how my brain works. So instead I pursued STEM where the notes are math and I could work ahead and tune in if I got stuck.

    That being said, handwritten notes are still definitely the way to go in math!

  • People with the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap: What do you mean by "Cilantro tastes like soap"? In what way does anything taste like soap?

  • My one that I share with my mom is that jalapeños taste like mold. I don't get it with other kinds of peppers, and vinegar will mask it so pickled jalapeño or hot sauces with it are usually okay. But it's always just a bit there.

  • Trigger warning - This Epstein stuff is making me sick...

  • It is a bit jarring, but your context is more than enough. Sorry you have to deal with that, no need to apologize to anyone for trying to keep your own world accessible to you.

  • Ghislaine Maxwell set to face Epstein committee but expected to refuse to answer questions

    Jump

  • Unfortunately I think we're way too deep in the propaganda machine for this logic to work. That diehard base will simply not know she's pardoned because Fox News will pretend it didn't happen.

    And if they're ever confronted about it they'll do mental gymnastics to get out of any shattering of their twisted reality.

  • How does "extremely limited" contact in a diplomatic context result in your kids getting $5 million each in his will?

  • Attack on Chuck?

  • Remember when the creepiest thing Donny did was perv on his daughter?

  • Really didn't expect them to fly off the handle like that. We're doing okay, my mom just has a lot to deal with right now. We've all been uncomfortable around my grandparents for a while, even before MAGA. I'm not above cutting contact, I already did with my older sister. But my mom is different and she needs to keep a relationship with her parents for her own sake, so I gnash my teeth in private and vent to my wife and we all keep the peace.

    My uncle is a different story. He is very much not MAGA, so his cancer diagnosis is just a really shitty cherry on top.

  • You need to calm down and shut the fuck up about my mother.

  • Remember when the creepiest thing Donny did was perv on his daughter?

    Jump

  • Uh, okay. Turns out she's a person who has experienced a lot of trauma and doesn't want to cut out her parents who are probably not going to live much longer.

    Calling her complacent in all of MAGA because she's trying to do her best to hold things together for her increasingly dementia-affected father and disabled mother while her brother is dying of cancer is, oh I don't know... extreme, cruel, and heartless?

    Perhaps everyone you know and everyone they know should cut contact with you for being such a hateful person.

  • Remember when the creepiest thing Donny did was perv on his daughter?

    Jump

  • Sometimes it's bigger than yourself. My mom really struggles with anxiety and losing relationships. If it weren't for her, I don't think I would talk to my MAGA grandparents anymore. I just can't stand the hypocrisy and constant attempts to guilt-trip over religious bullshit I don't believe in.

  • TIL that a child born out of wedlock to an American father might not get birthright citizenship, but a child born out of wedlock to an American mother automatically gets birthright citizenship.

    Jump

  • The child support system is also ineffective if the person is willing to run away. I'm not sure if this has been fixed recently, but my bio father abandoned us in the mid-90s and never paid a cent in child support. He fled the state and disappeared and the state wouldn't do anything about it.

  • My stepbrother, abandoned by his mother and raised by our dad as a single father, would also like citation.

    Conversely, my sister and I were abandoned by our bio father and left to my mom. Anyone can be a piece of shit and abandon their children, women just can't do it (safely) between the time when abortions aren't allowed and birth.

  • Epstein files lead to resignation in Slovakia and calls in Britain for former prince to cooperate

  • The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

  • I'm sitting here cuddling with my infant son and I never want to go back to work. I'll have to (so will my wife), and I hate that for both of us. But I definitely don't want to.

  • Sure, but what about psychopathic narcissists that are also entitled imbeciles?

  • Pro-Palestine is not pro-Hamas. It is very possible, and IMO morally imperative, to be pro-Palestine and anti-Hamas.
