  • Her’s was a plastic blue bowl with a handle. I was informed of it’s unsavory past after it was given to her from her mom when we moved in together. As she was eating popcorn out of it.

    I didn’t come from no fancy two large plastic bowl house either. But a small trashcan with about 3 layers of grocery bags was our go to. Never would I look at something I yaked in and consider it to hold food again even if it had bags lining it.










  • Aye childcare is fucked. My spouse had to quit working full-time temporarily because childcare was more than what she pulled in a week. Was actually a savings to just not have one of us work until they were a little older and the cost finally dropped enough.

    Not that one of us was enough to pay the bills, we just had to get really creative with alternative income sources that didn’t require a full-time commitment.

    I love my kids, I hate America as it is today. I knew sort of the financial impact I was getting into having kids, but no one should have that just thrust on them because politicians systemically are removing all the alternatives.



  • Another thing I noticed with technology advancements. Is the free time it generates by simplifying tasks means jobs start snowballing responsibilities they shouldn’t have, to fill in the “extra time”. Which ends up in people doing some really weird jobs, they probably shouldn’t be doing or are unqualified for.

    I see this a lot in Marketing where a “Communications” job is basically the work of multiple specializations and most of them don’t translate well. The descriptions of these roles is basically a shotgun blast of everything a Design Firm would do rolled into one person.
