We have a 5 month-old and would like to get some traveling in before trying for a 2nd, and final child. What advice can you give me for traveling with a 6-18 month old, other than don't do it?
We're already heading to an all-inclusive near Tulum in January, with grandparents as back-up, but would love to do a big international trip later next year, if possible.
Cross-posting from the fascism thread, the Amazon is on the ballot in Brazil tomorrow. South American Trump (Bolsonaro) looking to win or steal the election, then continue bulldozing/burning the rainforest. Cool...
Regardless of the result, I'll be spending 11/8 drinking like I'm watching a Texas 2nd half collapse. I should probably start hydrating now so at least my hangover is manageable if democracy's 2-year extension doesn't go through.
It really would be fascinating to watch if this wasn't our only home. A decade ago, I would've guessed the severe effects wouldn't occur until near the end of my life, or after. How this is all just an afterthought to most people, and not at the front of their minds on a daily basis, really blows my mind.
Imagine millions of people being so obsessed with a smooth-brained narcissist that they build their entire lives and self-worth around him, completely hijacking an entire political party who is too pussy to take a stand against him, thus forcing the rest of us to hear about him constantly.
Last night was night one. Putting him down in the crib was actually not an issue, but he was up every couple hours and really struggled to go back to sleep after waking up at 4. Hasn't been too much worse than the snoo this last week though. He did somehow flip himself onto his stomach, perpendicular to the long axis of the crib, with his legs through the slats.
I spent 18 months in neighboring Wise county (2019-2020). If there was a silver lining to the pandemic, it was that it gave me further reason not to interact with the residents of that shithole.
As dirty as that TCU hit was, damn is it gonna pay off. No Gabriel the rest of the game and the guy who committed the penalty isn't even out at all next week. Strong timing
"I'm not proposing you go out and murder these people. I just want you to know they're rapists and murderers and drug dealers who want to take your jobs and make you support them financially. It's also fun to trick them into getting in transportation to other states, aka kidnap them. And I also know a bunch of the people listening to me are unhinged racists who jerk off to guns."
So you'reright, no legislation authorizing murder but the right is constantly spouting very thinly veiled threats against certain groups of people, so sadly it's not shocking that these atrocities are committed by the exact sort of people you would expect.
At least Bolsonaro may lose in Brazil? For some reason, realizing much of the world is nearly as dumb/racist/greedy as us is not particularly reassuring.
