  2. I have to assume that Google thought this through and made it easy to stop unwanted notifications from Google alerts, but that’s here https://www.google.com/alerts I would think what you want is Sedona related businesses that are of the kind that are not… scrupulous when it comes to direct email marketing. A shotgun approach of signing up an email address for the newsletter of lots of different stores, what is the Sedona equivalent of do512 or whatever, is there a company that does…. Sand dune tours or whatever the fuck it is there. I think you need to budget a few hours, or maybe 15 minutes a night, to searching and subscribing. also, you could investigate the Craigslist approach. What is it… meetup? Is there a thing where maybe someone with his email address wants to meet people for crystal meditation in the Sedona area?
  3. Even more destructive to systematically deny them lifesaving care.
  4. Just list free chickens on craigslist using their phone number
  5. What’s the Martin? I’d say 28 but the bridge looks like rosewood? And I guess the d28 usually has a black pickguard…. D…16e or something? Although again with the bridge
  6. I think there’s an intersection of the social media thing and the mental health thing as far as grabbing labels, getting mired in self diagnosis, whatever stuff like that. The attention feedback loop, maybe some reverse star bellied sneetch stuff. For lack of a better term, there started to be some romance and fashion to being tragically broken in a lot of 2000s youth culture. But it’s also good that people who *do* genuinely have mental health struggles are less stigmatized when they speak about it or get help. I’m also skeptical of studies pointing to fewer instances back in the good old days -how are they understanding the majority of cases that people just didn’t talk about? There’s some incentivization stuff with the kids as well - if your kid is designated as having special needs, the classroom gets an additional helper? I know that that is a thing I’ve heard about in a few cases where parents were being encouraged to get a diagnosis. lots of talk about how people work in public vs private sectors when really it seems like the important thing about the public sector is its ability to do things for the public benefit. Privatized roads and eliminating public schools would/will be a disaster. Prisons, the military, oversight, etc.
  7. I have the Nanit as a monitor. It seems fairly good. What do I have going on now….. Ez is on my legs getting fed right now. I love the split screen. I didn’t use the sensor thing, and I think you can buy the monitor without it. I had the same experience as everyone else with the owlet sock, but I do know people who use it. I’m curious if the Nanit thing works in a Snoo. I haven’t been particularly worried about night breath tracking. You may like those swaddles. I still swear by the double batwing, and my wife makes me swaddle every nap I’m available for because he sleeps longer and quieter when I bundle that fucker up My latest iteration of the swaddle, I fold up the bottom of both blankets simultaneously and then wrap. I’ve also switched to the hospital striped blankets for the bottom layer because they are huge. I can fold the first side all the way under and around the other side. He’s down 30 seconds after I get to the Snoo. Oh btw that thing he’s in is called a dock a tot, they’re outrageously expensive for what they are and completely worth it. If I had thought more about it I would have bought a second before Ez was born.
  8. The specific metric was wages quadrupling over 10 years, which is stupid. Of course as we’ve discovered, what he meant was something somehow even stupider.
  9. We should all remember that if the children are more like fatty, they too can experience wage growth which outstrips the rising cost of hamburgers and thereby achieve happiness.
  10. the thing I was making light of is that you did so while quoting a comment that contains obviously bullshit totally not objective data
  11. man I hope that one comes through. i'm frustrated for you on that process
  12. I think the American Professional II line is the modern successor to the old American Standard line. Here’s the AS strat my dad indulged 13 year old me with 26 years ago - do it
  13. are you under the impression that the cost of a burger relative to how much money you make personally over time is the conversation that we're having?
  14. I'd be interested in seeing the data on that. I'm sure you could slice it in a way to draw that conclusion but I doubt doing so would reflect an understanding of the data. For example, you could point to quickly rising wages at the bottom of the job market, but you would have to ignore the stagnation of those wages for the previous twenty years, and then use that to try and tell middle class people that they're spending less than ever on food? I don't believe it. Of course this is again sidestepping the core issues facing young people when it comes to getting an education and laying a foundation in their adult lives. *edit* - it is possible that I entirely misread your response to fatty. i read that as you suggesting that people are simple for *feeling* like things have gotten expensive when, as fatty seemingly suggests, relative to wage growth they have not
  15. Hard to pull the trigger when your fingers are covered in ranch and fry sauce
  16. Also wages have not gone up by 300% in 10 years - numbers can be tricky and deceptive
  17. The people who are mad about the price of a burger are dumb boomers. Housing, education, healthcare. Childcare. Housing.
  18. Also, while they were fucked up particularly and specifically by covid and while social media isn’t helping, the things that make them despair about the present and future are real and worthy of despair.
  19. Maybe we should dive into that in this thread.
  20. if $16 for a bag of shitty burgers is good does that mean the boomers were right?
  21. And the 1000 sf homes from the 50s are still out of reach
