My eighty year-old parents have “borrowed” my car for a year.

I, too, would download one if I could.

I think that, in 10-20 years, the research around social media addiction will bear out this way, yes. It’s wild to me how every time the discussion around regulating social media comes up, most people just kind of ignore its effects on kids’ mental health.

Can confirm.

My car has been “on loan” to my parents for a year. I’m lucky to live in an area with decent public trans, but my sense of freedom is definitely vastly diminished.

Dr. Who

All of them

They probably like Newsom even more after he sat down and platformed Bannon and Kirk, as if giving a voice to open and unashamed Nazis isn’t disqualifying.

They will.

They’re stupid people.

If you can, it’s time to be investing.

My dad, when I was a kid, used to open the door quickly, look down at my visiting friend and say “Who the hell are you?”

Then he’d shut the door abruptly, wait 3-4 seconds, then open it, laugh, and welcome them in.

If you can do that and they don’t get offended, they’re friend material.

NGL, I was impressed with this king’s ingenuity.

None. My line ends with me.

Thank you. I’ve never heard this acronym before, myself.

Oh, absolutely.

They pounded sexual discomfort into me with religion, and I could have had a lot more sex and enjoyed my life more when I was younger if they hadn’t done that. I also would have appreciated knowing more about how sex needs to be for a woman to experience pleasure and more information about body language and consent.

You say that, and then he’s handing out confidential secrets in casual conversation just to look cool.

Just look at the last week of tariff flip flops.

Trump can’t be controlled, at least until Congress changes hands in 2026.

No.

I was lucky to have an elementary and middle school that still did sex ed talks. My dad wasn’t in a talking mood after roofing all day every day and my mom was a puritanical prude who would much rather I figure it out than actually tell me how to exercise caution in order to avoid pregnancy.

This one time when she gave me a raspberry while her henchman looked on.

Same.

None of this happened in a vacuum. The more you look at how we got here, the more it becomes clear that despite the theatrics we really are under one-party rule.

It could happen, but I think you’re wrong.

Trump is going to live to be 100 years old, like Kissinger did. The problem with your theory is that, after his first term, people know full well that he can’t be controlled.

You’re right.

We needed a Bernie, and Democrats happily subverted their own primary process to prevent it. Now, all you can do is take whatever measures possible you can to ensure your own survival.

Index funds are a great option, no doubt.

Hi friend. There are a ton of options. Many invest in funds VT and VXUS, international funds run by Vanguard. SPDR is also a popular choice.

Take a week and just spend 30-60 minutes a day reading up on the various options in the global arena and make the best decision for yourself. The funds I mentioned above are a good starting point for doing your research and finding an option that fits your goals.
