  • The fact that this is legal, and these people are walking around free to intimidate people and conspire to interfere with elections are atrocities and should not be tolerated by anybody.

    I’m taking Tuesday off, and after voting, I plan to spend my morning with my boys working in the yard. Then I’ll take them to their mother’s so they can play with the neighbor’s grandson. After that, I’m treating my kids to their favorite restaurant, finished off with some local ice cream.

    Maybe I’m being over dramatic, but I worry that by the time Wednesday rolls around, the shit will hit the fan regardless of who wins Tuesday night.

    At least, I hope I’m being over dramatic. 😔







  • Maybe a bit more parenting could have helped.

    No.

    If someone is depressed enough to kill themselves, no amount of “more parenting” could’ve stopped that.

    Shame on you for trying to shame the parents.

    And not having a fricking gun in your house your kid can reach.

    Maybe. Maybe not. I won’t argue about the merits of securing weapons in a house with kids. That’s a no-brainer. But there is always more than one way to skin the proverbial cat.

    On and regulations on LLMs please.

    Pandora’s Box has been opened. There’s no putting it back now. No amount of regulation will fix any of this.

    Maybe a Time Machine.

    Maybe…


    I do believe that we need to talk more about suicide, normalize therapy, free healthcare (I’ll settle for free mental healthcare), funding for more licensed social workers in schools, train parents and teachers on how to recognize these types of situations, etc.

    As parents we do need to be talking more with our kids. Even just casual check ins to see how they’re doing. Parents should also talk to their kids about how they are feeling too. It’ll help the kids understand that everybody feels stress, anxiety, and sadness (to name a few emotions).
