If I were in your shoes I’d sit down with the son and ask what he’d like, and try and explain why I’m uncomfortable being around his mother and her new fling. Then in the conversation figure out if his desire is greater than my hesitations, come to an understanding on what we feel the vacation would look like.

Would it be all 4 just… Hanging out? Then probably not. That’s the most awkward. Or would it be that there are things to do (planned) that could pair off and have some time with son, while his mother and fling does whatever they do? As long as those times are more frequent, and son likes the idea, sure I’d probably accept.

Woohoo $0.50/person in the USA, to fuck them all.

More like wasting space and time. GTFO the way.

You want to sit and chat with someone, go to where there is space to sit and chat instead of inconveniencing everyone.

What you’re describing sounds very much like a condensation drain in a steam system.

And I’m pointing out that the rich aren’t actually moving money to anyone but themselves. So yes, the (rich) investors ARE hurting the economy for their own gain.

But did you remember your notes after?

The fuck you think investors do at all? What value do they create? They definitely don’t pay my wages from their own “investment”. My wages are paid from the profits created by myself and coworkers working to create, market, sell, distribute the product. Soon as those profits don’t hit targets investors will absolutely vote to downsize or shutter entirely, not “invest” and continue paying wages.

Work? Like “buying” yet another company? Or stock buybacks?

Opposite. Look at the notes at the top of the graphs

If only enthusiasm countered the unjustness of voter suppression and the electoral college.

You know what comes before permanent hardship? “Temporary” hardship.

Halloween give you choose.

Is potato

I have a similar coworker, was constantly coming by and trying to start up conversation. Asking what I did the weekend etc. Why I don’t like their pears etc.

Finally one Monday morning when they came by wasting time I pulled off the headphones and asked "do you have a work related issue you need help with? " their response was “no I’m just socializing” I responded with something implying they’d actually be good at their job if they did that instead, and I’m not now or ever interested in socialising with them. They finally buggered off.

It sinks.

Tungsten isn’t reactive with water, it’s not an alkali metal.

Sodium, lithium, potassium etc (alkali metals) would react violently with water though.

Isn’t a funeral a meeting anyways…

Instead should have been “this funeral could have been an obituary”

Either it’s projection, or it’s the “no U R” response.

When they were called weird, the only response was “no U R”.

When they claim that Tim Walz is a sexual predator… that’s projection.

If he does somehow become president, I will be taking all the time off possible (ie general strike) and trying to convince everyone else to do the same.

Yes I’m in a “safe Republican” state. Don’t care, that “party” shouldn’t be in power.

Bold of you to think it’ll only be 4 years of Drumpf, or his appointed successor.

Hypothetically, you’re a bridge inspector. Someone reports a bridge in your area has problems and should be looked at. It’s part of your job to inspect bridges that have reports filed. You go “look at” the bridge but don’t inspect because “99% of reports are fake”. The bridge collapses killing someone.

Did you cause the death?

I worry what is in kids pants. Way too often it’s the hand of someone in a position of trust.
