Paternity leave is a no brainer for families of all stripes. Both spouses should have time off to care for their children in the first year of their life, especially during the vulnerable first year before they are immunized against dangerous diseases. And I'm in a same sex relationship, so I'm definitely using it when we are ready to have kids, haha.

Honestly, each parent should have 6 mo of paid leave.

Edit: adding onto this, all men's bathrooms should have changing stations. It's insane that some women's do, but men's do not.

Disgusting. They'll have to burn the furniture afterwards, knowing Vance. We know what he did.

Congrats on getting married :)

Oh, it's going to be very universal pain. Most of the blue states are the trade hubs on the coasts, or the ones with the best research and medical programs, which have been crippled by massive cuts. Or all of the federal positions in those states fired or reduced. On top of all that, tourism is way down, or is projected to fall.

Before Trump, 90% of our state's wheat was consumed internationally (or nationally), and our exports, still below the covid waterline, were ~60 billion USD a year. That's rapidly changing, which will blow a huge hole in the state's budget. All because most people were too stupid to vote in battleground states where their votes were absolutely critical.

Our state has been progressive for many decades, if not longer, yet we will be just as punished as the screwups and betrayers. :)

As stupid as they are, we're going to need to keep the country together somehow. If for no other reason than to not have them immigrate to states that aren't fucked up and become "welfare queens," in their own words.

In truth, though, we are stronger and economically better off when everyone is working together. And I'm confident a few swift kicks to the ribs and one to the head will once again have them voting for people that weren't dropped as babies. That is....if we get to keep our democracy.

That should be illegal, Jesus.

Yeah, expensive up front, but the blades are cheap. I got on the Harry's train before they got bought up and were cheap. Now, whoever bought them has been jacking up prices, which had me looking for a cheaper alternative.

Harry's also gave me plastic guilt. There is a lot of waste. :p

Uh oh, what broke on it?

Don't get the one I got, lol. I'm probably going back to a non-smartwatch after problems with my tic watch.

Late stage Kassad needs to get his ass to Earth, we need him.

Warning, temperature critical.

I recently switched to a Leaf one and love it. It's about the same as my Harry's razor, but a hell of a lot less expensive when even Costco is selling their reloads at $27. The leaf blades are way less expensive, and they aren't even proprietary.
