My bills for two people regularly come out to $50, at normal unfancy restaurants (sometimes even just fast casual). So $70 would be 3 people for me.

I worked at a high school doing IT. I kept student-returned laptops in a laptop cart. One day, to my absolute horror, baby cockroaches start crawling out of the cart, and infested my entire work area.

The cart was quarantined and treated by Terminix. After a while the cart was returned to me, and I had to sort through and clean/wipe all of them. I wish I could have just e-wasted the whole thing. Another round of hatching happened a few weeks later, from another laptop, but luckily I had put them in air-tight containers by then.

In a lot of the California schools I've worked at, they do teach these things. I think they are really great skills that I wish were taught when I was in school.

Unfortunately there's a lot of conservative push back and a movement to get these topics out of school.

People are dying because of conservative policies but you think AI is more important than that. That’s sad. I would vote for you if your rights were being denied.

Why not vote for the sake of other people when their lives, health, and safety are on the line?

Why is it the most important issue for you?

These are grown adults in their 40s. You really think the mom should just forever be their maid? Even at the age of 75?

At some point they just have to take responsibility for themselves. Even if they have to, or want to live at home, they should absolutely be contributing if they are able bodied.

I think it goes the other way too. For people that tend to apologize too much, even when it’s not their fault, mixing in a “thanks for your patience” is a good way to balance it out a bit.
