Why give them custody? Why give them a chance to re-adopt? Give her back to her family.

A lot of wild claims in that TikTok. The bill may be overly broad, but there's "overly broad," and then there's "the government can go through your Insta messages and censor them and they'll be watching the cameras in your home." Unlike what that dude really really wants us to believe, that is 100% hyperbole based on my reading of the bill. Willing to be proven wrong. I may think TikTok is an abhorrence that should be banned for the benefit of humanity, but the US government is no angel.

Will the TikTokers do their own research, though? No, they'll just take what this guy says as gospel truth.

Agreed. Canada made me question if any government could ever be trusted to implement death with dignity laws.

House Call Cat Grooming. Cynthia and her team were always able to handle my giant long-haired cat who absolutely hates being touched on his body and has trouble with mats.

>By the same logic that black folks claim they dont feel comfortable in white-majority spaces, white folks do not feel comfortable in black-majority spaces.

I'd argue it's not the same logic at all. The general reason black people might not feel comfortable is completely different from the reason white people might not feel comfortable.

Dude was disconnected from reality.

This is an important point. No male people should be in prisons that are for female inmates, especially wardens and guards who have power over these prisoners. There are groups devoted to advocating for female prisoners, who are an incredibly vulnerable population, who have put forth this idea repeatedly. It hasn't caught on because the general public doesn't spend much time thinking about prison populations, but maybe someday it will.

Franconia Notch State Park in NH.

Bro, before the folks on this sub rip into you, I just want to politely tell you that saying, “I just wrote this to say not all cops are bad and there are lot of nice cops out there, but you have to show them respect like any human beings,” during a week when we’re learning the details of Tyre Nichols’ murder? Could be misinterpreted as you implying that showing police officers “respect” is the key to coming out of police interactions alive. If retail workers can get disrespected day in and day out without killing anyone, I sure as hell expect police officers to do the same.

I’m glad you had a positive experience. But just because you’ve never been burnt by a flame doesn’t mean that fire doesn’t burn.

>Season one had so much promise and they scrapped practically everything they were building just to make a jaunt through the funhouse. This show was a spectacular disappointment.

See I'd say that season one had a great foundation but was entirely too grim to be a multi-season success. The path the show takes in the next two seasons is what makes it incredible.

I came in here fully expecting you meant good weird not bad weird! That episode helped cement the series as one of my all-time favorites. The moment Kevin >!has to select a suit!< I knew it was going to be everything I could want in a television episode.

>And there was no consequence other than divorce. No charges pressed. No jail time.

It's an unfortunate reality for many women who experience domestic violence. Justice is difficult to achieve and very often not worth the emotional and mental toll.

There are still many cultures in the world where non-sexual/non-romantic physical affection between men is commonplace. Some Western cultures have just lost that aspect of platonic male relationships.

Ridiculous overreaction. Does the French embassy’s spokesperson understand what AP is talking about? Their embassy is already the Embassy of France. And the alternative to “the French” (noun) would be “French people.”

AP should have just left the tweet alone, frankly.

We obviously don’t know the details or circumstances, so this is all speculation—but you would be surprised at how quickly things just become a part of your life. Your family member is, for example, suicidal. You spend months and months on edge, vigilant. Vigilance becomes routine. Nothing happens, day in and day out. You let down your guard for a brief moment and it all goes to shit.

We don’t need to sit here in judgement. We don’t know what his life, what their lives, were like.

But you should. And frankly, this is part of the problem with the version of “destigmatization” that’s currently popular where everyone pretends that mental illness couldn’t possibly make people do things that they would never do if they were well.

Your last two sentences don’t make sense. If she was suffering from postpartum psychosis then it was likely the psychosis that made her kill her own children and try to take her own life. These are not separate facts, they are one and the same. Postpartum psychosis hijacks your brain.

I saw this segment and I've got to say, it seemed like a standard 60 Minutes story. The core of it was about treating obesity like a disease. I came away from it thinking that insurance companies should probably cover anti-obesity drugs rather than categorize them as vanity treatments, that we need better research into the causes and the cures for obesity, and that some of these drugs might have serious complications that need to be better analyzed before they are made widely available.

When Wegovy and Ozempic were discussed, side effects were mentioned. I remember because they initially provided a statement from an insurance group about the drugs being unsafe, but then the doctor rebutting that statement was a consultant for the drug maker and I didn't believe either of them was being 100% honest.

I buy, for many reasons: I currently have the means, I want to support authors and bookstores directly, and I enjoy having a personal library (book ownership was a luxury that we couldn't afford when I was a child).

We used libraries throughout my childhood. We had a collection of picture books but by the time I graduated to children’s chapter books and young adult novels, we couldn’t afford to buy books. Now, as an adult, I have the means to buy books and so that’s what I do. It’s important to me to support authors and independent bookstores.

It suggests that he’s driving a different car, as the rest of that sentence tells you.

Yes, the adoption center is by appointment only.

If the owner of the building is being honest about the complaint from the office upstairs, are the women who need to use that restroom finding it frequently occupied because the men are using both available restrooms?

Tragic beyond comprehension.

I still watch it regularly and enjoy it, but I agree that it can be painfully repetitive. They squandered a great opportunity to do something fresh this season. They should have reduced Beverly's screentime and followed Adam in college, Barry in medical school, and Erica and Geoff navigating parenthood.
