  • I mean anything more than like 60K is still technically making money. If they’re in a place where Childcare costs 40k it is likely they make at least 80k due to the high cost of living or they have more than one child. The poorer people in that area have to use family, friends, and less official care. Federally, parents only get 12wk of unpaid leave.


  • Yep, quite a lot too. Once baby is out they start getting separate billing too. No, you aren’t reading that wrong. Since we don’t have single payer healthcare the doctors, nurses, drugs, etc are all to be paid for by the patient. Therefore health insurance but insurance wants to make money which means they don’t want to pay so unless you give them more money they have a pretty high limit before they cover things.

    This is after improvements by Obama but he compromised too much so not nearly enough has gotten better.

    At least dildos and fleshlights don’t pretend to be anything more than a toy. No one is that emotionally invested in their sex toys. They serve a physical purpose and that’s kinda it.

    When you get into real-dolls and using this type of AI. There are mental health issues that are not helped and probably worsened by the existence of these things. Human connections to non-“real” things is weird af. It’s a one-sided relationship until the AI is capable of breaking up and leaving not just getting powered down and restarted.
