I feel this in my core. Dating in your 30s is like dating at max difficulty

I haven't gone to McDonald's in YEARS and I'm not missing anything!

Ever since the big Mac meal went over $10, I was out. That was years ago and now it's even worse. I'm also not a sucker for using their god-damned app so I can get a $1 small fry and a free q-tip. If I'm not happy with your prices at the drive-thru, then I'm just not going there.

This would literally save lives in TX, FL and other states that have removed safety rules! How can you vote against this?? Yet we all know the republicans will shoot it down. Heartless

Who else has voted every year for the last ~8 years? 🙋🏼‍♀️ Local, state, national... It's just a habit for me now - big or small, I'm making my voice heard!

Who in the heck are the 16%

Yeah, but.... Oftentimes criticizing Biden helps trump. I'd rather not even risk it at this point.

Can we spend more energy celebrating that trump is NOT the president and how bad it would be if he comes back?

This is good news! Trans students will just be using the bathroom, cisgender students are the ones that may be abusing this with negative intentions.

Stay kind, everyone!

Sometimes all it takes is one or two people to have a good heart and do the right thing. It's a positive shock for sure

The world needs more good people like this! Trans kids are just kids... Let them live their lives.

The HIDEOUS people passing these laws are hateful souls.

Let people live their lives and be happy! Nobody is forcing people into a group they don't want to be a part of. Some people they DO join these groups need the support .. don't take this from them.

My 11 year old spends 50% of his time with an anti-science and anti-vaccine family. Single parent me (in Ohio) doesn't have a lot of support when I've tried to help fight some of those thoughts he's been brainwashed with in the name of religion. I'm christian, but his other household is extremists. "You believe in science too much" and "cavemen never existed" are things he's said in the last year. He's a straight A very smart child, he's just been brainwashed and I want to try to help him before it gets worse.

What kinds of shows, books, documentaries can I expose him too to make him think more critically about some of these things so he understands science is real and vaccines work?

He does get into Veritasium on YouTube, so I feel like that's a step in the right direction for science and critical thinking.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Cheers
