So she shouldn’t worry because… she deserves it for choosing a lifestyle?

Oh right, I forgot the rule. People who make choices we don’t agree with should have their children suffer. That keeps slipping my mind.

I don’t agree with the idea that a couple should strictly split responsibilities and not be able to survive without each other, especially along antiquated gender lines. But I’m still going to have empathy for a broken home with children.

If you think that’s not a reason to worry, you haven’t tried to live on a fraction of a salary. You think costs are linear?

Cohabitation saves a lot of money. Divorce breaks that.

The ADHD type. People stop existing when they’re out of render distance.

Only when it’s clean

Tablet. And the cage was created by me to keep them safe. They’ll get more access and bigger toys as they age.

You, sir or madam or they, are a hero. That’s exactly the data I couldn’t remember, but is the reason I felt I had to comment.

We still haven’t proven that the amyloids cause Alzheimer’s. They’re a correlation, and it’s possibly the other way around.

Only because her husband told her to

The best part about stupid people is, if you live long enough you get to join them.

Eggs and spinach and hot sauce is fantastic. No prep, just toss them on top of each other.

If the person in the US is only willing to pay 70, then the artist will get less than 70.

Sure, the American pays the tariff. That’s not the point. The point is that this person wants to spend X total and wants most of that X to end up with the artist. And that doesn’t happen if they have to spend half of X to pay for the tariff.

The point of saying “the American pays the tariff” isn’t to say that the seller makes the same amount. It’s to emphasize that the seller won’t absorb that cost, which is the lie Trump is selling.

This is a definition problem I think. I don’t use the word “responsible” to mean sole ownership. For example. We are all responsible for the cleanliness of our roads. It is a shared responsibility that we all participate in.

And, I think, we are all responsible for modeling good behaviors for people to emulate.

It’s how I’ve explained it to myself over the years. Otherwise people are insufferable :-p.

Of course it does. You’re only ever responsible for yourself.

And that mentality does not lead to good things.

Oh yes. Pushing personal responsibility to the end user has always been a very effective security strategy.

That’s still part of the job. Building and maintaining relationships allows you to call on those relationships to be productive. Even people that seem useless could be connected to other people who are useful.

It’s also part of the job to maintain a baseline of morale.

If a person is truly a time waster, set a boundary and tell your boss.

I’ll bite.

The risk is training people in bad behaviors, and then having those people do stupid things like type in a password.

instead of wasting 30 minutes?

Did the paycheck clear? Did you get paid? Then it wasn’t a waste. It’s part of the job. Do your job. Even the parts you don’t like.

I wouldn’t know. I don’t care enough to check

feel like I won’t get anywhere in running

Running is the one sport where you’re guaranteed to get somewhere. Sure, it’s only 500 meters away. But it sounds like you’d benefit from distance from the crazy.
