Amen brother! It's like a meme I've seen a few times. God will give us all we need, but don't expect it to come to you like a special object in a video game, hovering above the table with a ring of light around it.

Its like that old joke; there is a man drowning in the ocean and he prays to G-d asking Him to save him from drowning just then a boat shows up and the driver asks if he needs help and the man says "No, G-d is gonna save me." So the boat drives away and the man drowns and when he gets to heaven he asks G-d "Why didn't you save me?" and G-d replies "Didn't you see the boat?"

A flood was rising, but there was an old man who didn't want to leave his house. A police car came by & offered to give him a ride to shelter. He said, "No, God will save me." Then a boat came by to offer him a ride. He said "No, God will save me." Then as he was on top of the roof, a helicopter came by to offer him a ride, and he said "No, God will save me." He finally drowned & went to heaven. He asked God, "I believed in you! Why did you let me die?" God said, "Well, I sent a car, a boat & a helicopter! What more do you want?"

    I am not from the USA, I’m from the UK, but I still can’t believe that a dozen or so old men got together and decided that not only can adult women no longer decide whether or not to continue with a pregnancy but a 12 year old victim of abuse must birth a child she never had a choice in creating. Using the excuse that the constitution doesn’t cover abortion rights is absolutely disgusting. The constitution gives people the right to shoot someone but not to decide what to do with their own reproductive system?

    Never was I so disappointed by society than when I've learnt that American women have abortion at 42 weeks. This is straight up murder. A 42 week old baby could be a month old newborn, unless you think unborn child is not a human.

    To be honest, the first one is a good advice. And knowing someone is giving you a wrong number instead of guessing should lead you to : a)abandon further interaction with said person b)investigate what you did to make her feel that way and try to be a better / more interesting / less creepy person.

    A man isn't always doing something wrong. Not every interaction leads to a date but previous experience teaches women than some men handle rejection VERY badly. Unfortunately there's no way to tell which are the bad guys and who is normal - so to be safe all must be treated like this. This is a lesson always learned the hard way..

    The issue is that woman get harassed, harangued and attacked for not giving their number out. They do this to feel safer and we should accept that (I'm a fella). We can shout NOT ALL MEN, as much as we want but there's enough of them that it's a problem.

    My mom was initially on the fence about LGBTQ+ rights. She changed her mind when I told her that I supported them, because if I had a child, I wouldn't care what gender their partner was as long as they were happy. Good thing too, since my sister later realized she was gay.

    Here's another concept. Every human on earth should be guaranteed standard shelter by their government. We can accept paying for schooling for 12 years of a child's life, we can accept spending billions on the military, but the idea that everyone has their own little hotel style room with ensuite is just unimaginable? So many problems would be solved with this basic shelter guarantee.

    For citizens, I agree, but we can't allow millions to just walk in and we give them food, water, shelter, medical care, education. Make sure they have entertainment. And we are spending billions on the illegals, people are hurting and are changing attitudes, the progressives, as usual, have gone too far.

    It's not always about living wage or financial hardship for people who are homeless. My dad was homeless and spent many years that way until he died. His wife died of cancer, he turned to the drink, lost his two young kids ( my half brother and sister) and then his bought home in a very upscale area. It all went downhill. Mental health and addiction takes more from people I think. I have taught my teens that a good job and hard work does not always pay, especially in our county of Cornwall in the UK. The cost of living is through the roof. Teach young people to stay with parents for as long as possible or to go in on a property with friends so you can save for the future. Money management can be easier for us all if we are taught about it in schools. Mental health and addiction need addressing so much more when it comes to homelessness

    That's because our increasingly far-right government would rather spend our taxes on persecuting migrants, persecuting the LGBTQ+ community, giving tax cuts to the businesses of their millionaire donors and throwing billions down the toilet with white-elephant projects such as the HS2 rail project, than they would spend it on the NHS.

    I would still prefer a living in a country that is holding universal health care by the fingertips than to go bankrupt and mortgage my house even with insurance, if anyone in my family or I got cancer. I'd much rather live in a country with flawed universal health care then to lose my job and health insurance and have to pay 10 times more than people in other Western countries pay for insulin and other necessities. I wouldn't even think twice about whether to choose universal healthcare, whether flawed or not, to be able to have the knowledge that even if something were to happen and I could no longer work, that my family and I would still have access to something as basic as healthcare. But that's just me...

    People talk a lot of s**t about Brazil's SUS (It's an overloaded system) but it does help so many people, cancer treatment is free, medication is free, surgery is free, recently breast reconstruction surgery for women who had breast cancer became free, and this is in a country of over 200 million where everybody will use it at one point in life and many people are poor. We need more doctors and more infrastructure to serve everyone who needs it, but it is essentially a perfect healthcare system that saves many lives every year without bankrupting them. And to think there's people here saying It's useless makes me sad.

    The real kick is that universal healthcare has never been abandoned for the private insurance model used in the US or any other private healthcare system. And the hypocrisy is that US politicians have government provided healthcare. For senators and 2 term congressmen, they get it for life. They know it's better than what we have. We know it's a better system. The only people that don't know it is a bunch of conservatives of which about 2/3 are on Medicare which is, get this, government provided healthcare.

    Shout out to Paul who was never invited to any of our birthdays as he was an @rsehole but somehow his mother always managed to need someone to look after him for an hour while the parties were on. Nothing enamors people to you like your mother forcibly gatecrashing you into a party.

    Yeah, I was one of these kids too. In junior high I had a lot of friends, in high school I had none so I isolated myself more and more to avoid the bullying. The fact that I never invited anyone to birthday parties should be a given.

    People were up in arms in the 60s because many older Americans were "living in sin" because if they married, the wife would lose her SS payments from her dead spouse. Most women in the 50s didn't work, so no pensions or SS for them in their own name.

    My husband & I almost had to get divorced just so that I could qualify for Medicaid since I have chronic health issues that cost a fortune just to manage & our private insurance is so fucken expensive & doesn't cover anything... & we shopped around but endometriosis isn't taken seriously unless I want to be put on birth control... that's all that is covered by insurance. 95% of my medications I take for multiple issues aren't covered. I have to pay out of pocket... even having a hysterectomy isn't covered nor can I find a doctor to do it because I'm under 30 & "might change my mind about having kids" ... I can't carry a child as is... I'm temporarily in Indiana... so that's why I'm having such a hard time because ppl here believe women are only good for being incubators. 2 doctors told me I needed my husband to come in & give permission for the surgery. He doesn't want kids. But i would rather live w/ my pain for now than have either of them operate on me.

    I've litterally been there, and send nothing but sympathy your way! It's like 'What do you mean 'what if I change my mind about having kids?' I do believe that would be MY issue to deal with. Besides, considering a hysterectomy isn't exactly easy surgery, what makes them think we HAVEN'T thought it over, or discussed it with our partners, at length? And, what, adoption isn't an option anymore? You shouldn't have to explain s**t, it's your decision. And furthermore, when it comes to the husband giving permission for the surgery, why would it be his ultimate decision? If he decides he wants bio kids, he can either carry them himself, or he's not the person I thought he was and we probably have greater problems in our marriage.

    Back in '00's the team I was part of apparently got lost in a reorg. We ran ourselves for 16 months without a manager, although I was running a bit of a black box logistics and approvals operation. Finally had to go to someone about a high 5-figure purchase I couldn't avoid. 2 months later a manager who knew nothing about our work. Oh well.

    And if no one wants the promotion - ask them why. Spoiler alert, it's probably because they need more money but rather than deal with the issues of underpaying your staff you will just keep a revolving door of managers and blame the economy for your diving sales.

"oh there's this kid who threats and harms other students so bad that one transferred to another school and the one who harms them is leaving too, let's see if we can get him back." BTW, they cannot physically touch or restrain them unless they are hurting themselves or others, but if they hurt the psychs, they can only let them hurt them. WTF is wrong with the school system.

They just book onto the roster at every store. It’s a national institution. Sounds like Home Depot needs a tamale version.

    So much this. Usually, when someone says the IT guy is "being a d**k" what that really means is they're asking basic questions to cover all the bases because they've been thru that kind of sh1t before, but the person being asked decided to take it as an insult to their intelligence.

    I know they have to ask the questions to ensure the bases are covered and to ensure they don't have to go through a lengthy process when all it took was, "Is the cord plugged into the wall?" I had to make a call and they were going through this process and I had to try and stop and make it short, but they insisted. Finally, I told them, "None of this will work, my puppy ate the cord." It was for a warranty. All I wanted was a replacement cord. This was before automated answers to filter out problems that can be solved without technical intervention.

    Got a call about a PC that wouldn't power on at the front desk. Asked if it was plugged in. Received a polite but frosty reply that it was and that they wanted me now. Service was $105 an hour, 1 hour minimum, plus commute time about 45 minutes. PC power switch was on. PC was plugged into power strip. Power strip? Not plugged in. Best part? They said "You're not really going to charge us for this." Managed a straight face and said, "You agreed over the phone." Then cracked up. We laughed it off, I didn't charge them and they took me out for dinner. Lawyers do have senses of humor.

    My Internet was going out, literally every five minutes. I didn't have a phone, and I couldn't call on the computer, because: the Internet kept going out every five minutes. Luckily, I lived a block away from my parents. I would go over there to call, get 1st tier help desk, go back home. Turn it off and on. Go back to call again, get 1st tier, and be told to turn it off and on. Rinse and repeat with checking cords and resetting the modem. I would, in fact, tell 1st tier about all the other calls within the last hour. Eventually I had such a high call volume that my account was flagged, so I was able to talk to someone higher. This went on for several weeks. My last call, the person told me that another customer in my immediate area was having the same problem, and they didn't know why. They were sending someone to clean the outside lines. A few hours later, the cable man knocked at my door. It seems a squirrel family had moved into the router.

    I started at a company and walking in early for my second day of training, found my trainer on a call. Our system was down and the IT department had her in tears on the phone. I had her put them on hold and looked over the system - the main point of sale computer had failed. I picked up the phone and the guy started being condescending immediately. I talked over him and told him everything I just did and what the issue was. He then started on his checklist: Nope, because this. Nope, because that. Eventually he says oh, then they would send a tech out. I hung up on him and told the trainer to never let anyone talk to them like that. The tech came out and ended up replacing the unit. I have a lot of experience with computers, so I never had to put up with the attitudes. But they had a reputation for being incredibly rude... When your job is to help people who don't know computers being s****y to them is never okay.

    This about sums it up. You would think a hairless ape could tell if a machine is powered on or not, I mean, cats can tell that a hot appliance shouldn't be touched yet some humans can't tell until they have touched it three times. Even then, some would still not be sure lol

    There even worse when they think they know everything and have no computer training. I worked with someone who thought they knew it all and had never taken a computer class. I have 2 degrees in IT. While I don't work in the field, I still know when to call our IT guys.

    Hospitals in the US have grant and charitable programs for needy patients. They don't have to disclose this anywhere and you often have to specifically ask. I don't know why doctors do not educate themselves on their hospital's practices to help their patients out.

    My wife and I just found that our financial responsibility for the IVF that our fertility specialist is recommending (the only way we have a chance to carry a child to term) is just north of $8,500. That's just for the actual procedure, not including the additional consultation or facility fees or any follow ups or post-procedure care that may be required. The kicker? Our insurance "covers" it. A whopping.... $200 out of their pocket.

    Last novemberI broke my pelvis in 2 pl.aces, and my arm / wrist bad enough I needed surgery.. I almost said no, but it would have healed with little movement and lots of pain. I have insurance, but had to jump thru hoops, so to speak, to get my induce company to agree to let me use their charity discount. Even with that I ended up having to pay much more than I could afford. Had to put most on credit and will be paying for it for a long time.

I recently listened to my government and got free contraception 😊 William Strange equating listening to the government to being put in concentration camps by the government is a very unfair, inaccurate and awkward comparison.

    Just do a percentage of income tax without any deductions or other c**p and watch the rich squirm as they are forced to pay their fair share while poorer people get less of a tax burden.

    They know how much you owe from the information you gave them on the tax return. Your accountant just did not apply the information correctly. I saw this so often when I was auditing returns. (And if the government knew enough about you to figure out the tax owed without you giving them any information, then it would know much more about you than you would ever want.)

    And be careful of over jealous IRS agents trying to make an example of you.

    Good point! But, they cannot be sure how many deductions or write-offs you will have to reduce your tax. Therefore, you have to bungle around with the paperwork and if they don't agree with you, they will send you a threatening letter.

    I hope you're not suggesting that led is a reason for a decrease in crime? There's a significant correlation between lead in the environment and increasing crime starting around the 1940s and 50s. While that doesn't prove causation, one of the problems caused by lead affects parts of the brain that make it likely that lead is in fact a cause of crime.

    It doesn't need to be. Correlation can be quite meaningful all on its own. Sometimes more so.

I whine about having to take my clothes out of the machine and hang them up. At least I didn't have to spend hours boiling water and stirring the laundry with a stick

    Apparently our major supermarkets staff are having a strike this coming weekend and Friday. Record inflation after record profits and no pay raises for the workers expected along with their customers to survive paying even more for groceries after a record profits year. Good for the workers, strike away, I'm joining them by only buying at local markets and small family owned grocers for the duration and maybe if the big supermarkets do the right thing, maybe, I'll come back for the sake of my fellow working class battlers.

    It’s amazing what smart adults will believe. My educated, normal uncle in the UK was convinced by a You Tube video that police were enforcing mandatory vaccinations in Australia. He saw a re-captioned video of an old protest that had gone awry. He told my mum all about it and how he’d never come to Australia because of what we were doing here. I live in Australia and my husband is a cop. I can confirm this was utter BS. We visited my uncle in the UK and he was suddenly very silent on our supposed mandatory vax policy. Happy to accuse behind closed doors but wouldn’t actually address it to those that were supposedly doing the enforcing. You’d have thought he’d have had questions.

    I have five brothers that I raised,two sons of my own and one daughter and I taught them all that everyone has emotions and that expressing them was healthy. However when it comes to anger it should be in moderation with the person and then you walk away and calm down because nothing gets solved while you are at the peak of anger. And everyone would benefit from a good cry when experiencing those emotions.

    I read that anger is actually a secondary emotion meaning that bottled up negative emotions (sadness, being annoyed, frustration, anxiety etc) come out as anger unless you manage to deal with them. So I think that if people were taught to handle their emotions better there would be a lot less anger to have.

If middle is one standard deviation plus or minus, low is more than one minus, and upper is more than one above, having people worth hundreds of billions stretches things away out. So now the bottom of the middle and the top of the middle are further apart than the Burger deficit.

    Remember folks: there's no such thing as a "middle" or "poor" class! There's only us, the working class and the owner/capitalist class.

    Hmmmm. Unions have been dissolved. Reagan started that with pilots. Collectively bargain so you're paid a living wage. Duh

    Got news for you. That wasn't a "middle-class" lifestyle in 1990 either. I know because I was there.

    This is such BS, 90's middle class people did not have two cars take overseas holidays and put 3 kids through uni. Keep trying

    I don't know... my husband and I were raising a family in the 90s and we had that life.

    This would be 600k in Australia which is a massive income. If you lived in the cbd in Sydney or Melbourne that would be accurate, but is fringe dwellers don’t need that kind of income to meet this middle class threshold. HOWEVER the killer is the house. The struggle to get onto the property ladder is horrendous and throws everything else out. I am the luckiest person alive to have bought my house a decade ago when it was feasible. I probably couldn’t afford to buy my own house now! I feel desperately sad for younger people. It’s totally unfair.

    Yup. When my dad passed in 1981 at the age of 40 he made more money than I ever have with a bachelor's degree. I am now 56.

    I have a 4 bedroom house, my spouse and I each have paid off cars, and can afford a yearly vacation (haven't been doing it because of the pandemic.) Our combined income is $75,000 a year but we don't have kids and live in the south. So make your choices wisely.

    The hypothetical family mentioned in the tweet has 2 or 3 children. If you don't have children, then you can't compare your life to the life of a family that has children. But as usual, people without kids seem to know what's best for those of us that do have children (by choice!)

    Overpopulation doesn't always have the effects you expected. (NOTE: This is NOT a comment about class or race or starvation or rich people or greed. This is a comment about the fact that humans are stupid, we're painting ourselves into a corner and our precious "developed-world" standard of living is going to be one of the first things to fall.)

    I think the overpopulation argument is a little weak. We still have plenty of resources to go around and could easily care for the global population that we have already, as well as act as better stewards to our environment. We just can't seem to get it together.

    If you're going to sack developers on the basis of 'number of lines written', why not give them all a sample task, and keep the ones who accomplish it with the FEWEST of lines written, rather than the ones who write long, complicated code many times that length? You know: 'elegance'.
