Yes, I’d like a tablespoon of baked beans packaged in the capsule for a toy vending machine. Please and thanks.

How frequently are the nibs wearing out? I wouldn’t imagine they’re shedding enough particulates to be of major concern. It’s not like you’re filing them off.

I think it’s fundie for handjobs. Even knowing the terms here doesn’t help me understand what this chart is illustrating. There aren’t even axes, and if there were what are we to assume the y-axis could be? If it’s control, are they implying married Mormons lack all control of their sexual practices? This is absolutely bewildering and I love it.

If you have a neighbor you can make friends with in the ground floor apartment below you or close to a stairwell exit, you can ask to wait out the storm in their hallway or bathroom. I’d keep your cat in a carrier and have some treats handy, especially if your neighbor has other pets. A battery operated radio can also be a useful item in those situations. When the sirens go off, text the neighbor and get things ready to move to whatever ground level space you can safely but quickly. Having someone to wait out the storm with helps. I once lived in a very small complex where we’d befriended all of our neighbors and would gather all of our blankets and pets into our downstairs neighbor’s place and have a good time waiting it out together.

Thanks for the link. I figured I hadn’t pulled this out of my ass, but I wasn’t sure where I’d actually gotten this idea from.

I don’t think I’ve said anything that counters what you’ve just stated, so I’m not sure what you disagree on exactly. Yes, abortion is good. I think we have the same reasons for supporting it. I also think abandoning your child is very shitty, but we have to admit that it will still sometimes happen.

Let me bring it back to my friend whose partner abandoned her late in her pregnancy. He was likely to always do this. If he had incentive to tell her in the first few weeks instead, when she still still could have had an abortion, wouldn’t that have been better? I’m not saying her decision entirely would have depended on that, but if our system is going to be such a failure at collecting child support from these shitty neglectful parents, can’t we at least encourage them to do that in a time frame that allows the carrier to plan for that?

Yep, totally agree with both of you here. The best option is to eliminate the need for child support, not the support itself.
