38H (UK sizing) here.

I still don't go braless even in winter because they hang low, and that embarrasses me. Existing at all embarrasses me, so take that with a grain of salt.

Thank you for the detailed explanation! I remember seeing it on reddit, but never knew why.

I'd kinda favor 401(k)s or something more like that

I'd rather not have to rely on market gambling to survive in my old age. Many people probably agreed with you until about 2008, when a LOT of retirees lost most of their retirement money during the recession and a lot of really old people went back to work. It was pretty bad, and I'll never forget it.

Not that it matters. I can barely afford to live week to week now, let alone save money for retirement. I'll probably just die, I guess. 🤷‍♀️

For a long time, Weight Watchers has said that if you just follow their points system, the weight will melt off and you won't need supplements or anything else. When most people think of Weight Watchers, they're probably not thinking about the weight loss drugs they now support; they're thinking of the years of points gimmick that make you feel like you can't lose weight unless you pay $10+/month to see if you can eat that food or not (rather than teaching anyone about calorie intake vs. output).

Weight Watchers relies on a subscription based model to "save" people from their fatness, and Oprah was the biggest WW pusher. She had tons of money and resources, was even on the board of WW, and still needed medications to manage her weight. I don't give a fuck, but people who bought into her ads and promos probably feel a little pissed off.

That "cosmetic surgery" saves lives. It definitely did for my daughter's friend. He was not doing so well before his top surgery, and now he's so much happier. It's a crazy difference.

That's the type of thing that no one but me would remember, but it would keep me up at night for yeeeeeears.

You're right; he didn't specifically say that. He called a Twitter post that said Jewish people hate white people was "so right." And that's a big Neonazi thing.

So... he didn't say Hitler was right, just that a major Nazi tenet is.

Kinda fine so far? As of a couple of weeks ago, he still hadn't paid a dime to any of the Sandy Hook families because he declared bankruptcy. He's still spending a bunch of money and still doing Info Wars. It'll probably catch up to him eventually? I hope? https://apnews.com/article/alex-jones-sandy-hook-shooting-bankruptcy-34192bd7d89ed786f64580682f6ea89e

Yeah kinda. You can see her hands in his crotch, although they seem to be over his pants instead of inside then, and he's very handsy with her chichis. https://www.mediaite.com/politics/lauren-boebert-caught-on-cctv-seeming-getting-extremely-handsy-with-man-at-beetlejuice-performance-she-was-booted-from/

Hey. Be nice. Feel free to go back to reddit with that shit attitude.

Normally, I don't respond to "bOtH sIdEs" comments, but I was worried that other people might listen to you and won't show up to vote, or will throw it away on a 3rd party candidate when our country unfortunately isn't set up for that to work. We'd have to reform how voting works and campaign finance laws to even possibly make what you're suggesting a tiny bit workable.

Things Biden has gotten done that are important to me in no particular order:

  • Ukraine response
  • Bipartisan (barely - 13 Rs in House, 19 Rs in Senate) Infrastructure Law (spending on fixing bridges, roads, etc.)
  • CHIPS and Science Act (semiconductor chip manufacturing)
  • Inflation Reduction Act (capped Medicare drug costs at $2k out of pocket, capped insulin prices for Medicare to $35 per month, increased funding for IRS to modernize and audit the wealthy, increased corporate taxes, investment in green energy)
  • Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (strengthened background checks on guns, incentives red flag laws)
  • Paused federal executions after Trump undid the previous freeze
  • Repealed Trump's ban on trans troops in the military
  • Attempting student loan debt relief
  • Released oil from the National Reserve to make gas prices less painful
  • Signed bill for veteran burn pit care
  • Postal Service Reform Act (modernize and fix the USPS)
  • Respect for Marriage Act (forces ALL states to recognize same-sex marriage and interracial marriage rights)
  • Renewed Violence Against Women Act after Trump let it expire
  • Declared Juneteenth a holiday
  • Pardoned federal convictions of marijuana possession
  • Spent over $10.7 billion on federal, state, local, and tribal land conservation and has protected over 12 million acres of national public land (some of which had their protections removed by Trump)
