Um, no, that is not what happened. You came into a thread, proceeded to condescend to me about how you absolutely definitely know more about what goes on in evangelical men's spaces than me (someone who led men's ministry for a very long time), because you're a woman, and women have it tough.

Fake. USDA. Seals. Used by an NC meat processing plant on 83.5 TONS of meat. Produced entirely outside the federal inspection system, according to news reports. We are pretty close to The Jungle (second ed.) now, no? www.scrippsnews.com/life/recalls...

Me: I am an ADULT and I can double this broccoli cheddar soup recipe from my grandma if I want to dammit Me an hour later: my god what have I done (This is a 4 gallon stock pot)
4 gallon stock pot of yellow soup with broccoli and cauliflower in it, with a large spoon almost disappeared into it, because there are nearly 4 gallons of soup in this bad boy. 

It is insanity. It is an affront. It is industrial quantity soup. We ate until we nearly exploded and there remains three gallons. 

It freezes ok, as well.

The US Web Design System is load-bearing infrastructure for thousands of government websites. It makes it easy for small teams with no resources (i.e. most .gov teams) to make usable, accessible websites that work for everyone. Today, it's as close as it's ever been to being replaced with AI slop.

Don't get me wrong, they 100% want to destroy the machinery of government and break it so badly that it can never be rebuilt in their lifetimes. But for culture things, it's not that. It is that they DESPERATELY want to be cool, and liked, and respected. They want to *control* the culture.

These people had protected status. They lived here legally. They worked, they paid taxes. They made lives. Raised families. Now we’ve dehumanized them. Ripped away that protection and told them to get out. This is a stain on the soul of this Nation.

Once again I must note that a major goal here is to destroy women’s sports. By redefining any woman who defies their strict rules for femininity as a “man,” they basically deny that women’s sports are real. Because, to them, a female athlete is not a woman. sports.yahoo.com/articles/wnb...

Welp, sorry Waste Management, this literal trash panda has decided he doesn't want to leave, so he gets to be your problem tomorrow morning.
Raccoon in my trash can that will not leave. 

No, seriously, I tried. I tipped it over and tried to offer him some cat food, and he just growled at me. Gave it 20 minutes, no dice. This guy has just taken up residence in my trash bin. He's apparently pretty at home here and is going to hang out as long as he wants.

Frankly, I don't entirely blame him. My kids make enough food waste that he could stay in there for a month and live in luxury. It's a light week because we were gone a bit, so he might be a little less happy this time than most weeks, but hell, if I were a raccoon, I'd consider it a gift from the Heavens. 

I'm open to options, but at this point, I have things to do and I don't care anymore.

So my kids got diagnoses and I am almost certainly AuDHD myself, and I am thinking about my family tree, including my Boomer dad. He's in DEEP denial about the genetics. Would never get tested, would reject the results. When I called a few months ago, he railed about New Balance changing shoelaces.

Anyone who’s ever had a toddler fall asleep in the back seat knows this look. The kid struggles to stay alert but the somnolence is too strong. The head flips back, then it’s lights out, and now you’re going to either park under a tree or drive aimlessly for the next hour

As @jessicacalarco.com says, women are our social safety net in this country. Some of that work had been institutionalized and compensated (under-compensated, but it was still compensation). Now even that part of the net is unraveling.

First time DV cases in a lot of states, unless there is strangulation or extremely aggravating circumstances, are often misdemeanors with guideline probation. Meaning he never goes to jail, let alone prison, and if jail it's usually not long. This is why a lot of victims don't want to testify.
