They are terrifying things to admit to yourself. Hold on to that feeling, but train anyways. Because those thoughts will keep you from becoming like those republicans who gleefully wave their guns around and talk about shooting all the people they don’t like. And the training means you can protect yourself and others.
Guns are a tool that kills things, and so you never pick one up unless you intend to kill. But sometimes, regrettably, you have to.
You’d think so, but they’ve done studies and there tends to be more marital issues in families where the woman makes more of, or all of, the money.
Personally I agree that it shouldn’t be defined along gender lines. We don’t have kids, but my husband is way better with babies and children than I am. It would make much more sense (if we could afford it) for me to work and him to stay home. But it seems that, society-wise, we have a long way to go.
‘True and proper order being restored’ and ‘those uppity Others finally getting their just desserts’. And they figure that if they have to suffer a bit for that, then so be it. You have to remember that these ‘Christian’ loonies all have a persecution complex, so for them a little suffering is seen as a good thing.
I hate to say it, but I absolutely guarantee the law will do nothing but show up afterwards and pick up the pieces. If he does decide to get his fat ass off the couch and come get you, you’ll have to handle him yourself.
These Republicans?
Every time the pockets-in-pants thing comes up:
Women in the comments: OMG yes please what we have now sucks
Men in the comments: well acktually…
Have the day you voted for, asshat.
The billionaires’. And the fascist shits that are happy to see the world burn as long as they get to enslave brown people again.
It’s a long-standing tradition? And a thing in pretty much every country? Canadians volunteered in our Civil war. French and Germans volunteered in our war for independence. What do you think this is, North Korea that grips its people so tight they can barely breathe?
Then you really need to work on your reading comprehension.
I like Pratchett’s take. The Tooth Fairy of the Discworld takes the baby teeth and hides them in his domain because pieces of a person can be used for sympathetic magic, like cursing someone, and he wants to protect the kids from that.
No more brown people. That’s it really.

Wow, you really don’t know anything about supply and infrastructure, do you? Dude, this is, like, econ 101. I’m sorry you got such a poor education; you should probably get your money back from whatever school you went to.
Think about it. Do you really think that the pasta companies in the US have entire production lines and factories sitting idle? Or that they only run for a few hours a day and then everyone goes home? Of course not. They’re running at capacity for as long as they can every day. They don’t have the ability to ramp up pasta production.
To increase pasta production in the US, those companies would have to either expand their current facilities, or build new ones. And despite what idiotic talking conservative heads seem to think, it is physically impossible for that to happen with the snap of a finger.
Take it from someone whose company is working on upgrading a current facility. Not expanding, mind you; just upgrading. The permitting process alone took us two years. Construction itself will be at least a year and a half. So that’s 3-4 years to build/expand a new factory, maybe more.
That means you’re looking at 3-4 years at a minimum before those US companies can replace the pasta that’s not in our economy anymore. Which means for 3 years or more most Americans won’t be able to afford (or even acquire in the first place) what is a staple food, especially for poor families. That’s what your initial comment boiled down to: starving the poor in the hopes that it might get better eventually.
And all of this is assuming the companies have the money to do all this in the first place. Even upgrades aren’t cheap; a whole-ass new building is crazy expensive. Not every company has that kind of cash, and if the banks aren’t convinced it’ll be a good return on their investment, then getting a loan for it isn’t happening either. Which delays things further as fewer companies will be able to build to meet demand.
You know, you could have just kept your thoughts to yourself, and then no-one would ever know you have no idea how markets and supply work, or how much effort and cost actually go into making pasta at home.
Was there any particular reason you wanted to put your ignorance on display?
If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.

Only 49% of us seem to live in the real world, apparently.
TBF his family are also super-rich white-supremacist pieces of shit, so he probably learned a bunch of this at home.
