Ideally a temp would fill the position while the parent is on leave. At least that's how my company handled it recently. We still couldn't wait for our coworker to come back because she was really good at her job, but the work got done regardless of any hiccups due to the temp learning her position.

I don't have kids by choice, so this has zero effect on me, but parental leave is kinda important and companies that shove the workload onto everyone else is what causes this resentment.

In my area the types of guys into outdoorsy stuff also tend to trash their campsites.

I can't count the number of times I go hiking and find beer/monster/soda cans, empty beefjerky bags, lead fishing weights that were cut off and left next to the rest of the garbage, piles of empty shotgun shells(not just one or two that were missed or fell out of a pocket), cigarette butt's and boxes, ect.

It's always really shitty to find a part of the forest like that. Especially if I can see where there was tree stand above the pile of garbage. I get that deer are basically overpopulated due to milder winters, but take care of the forest my dudes.

This only works for shorter flights, but you can eat an edible before you go into the airport. I reccomend one that you've tried before the flight so you know how high you'll get and how long it'll last.

The problem is people applying laws like castle doctrine outside of situations that they were intended for.... then shitty judges allow it to be applied outside of those situations... resulting in these random ass killings for people knocking on doors. It's messed up and horrible.

But at the same time a few years ago a family near my friends house had someone break in, killed the two parents and then chased down the son and killed him in the woods. The young man tried to retreat and was killed anyway. THEN they robbed the house. They were looking for stuff to steal and sell for drugs. Then they set the house on fire.

If someone is legitimately breaking into your house you should be able to defend yourself if you can't get away. It doesn't need to be a gun, but you should not go to jail for hurting someone who is in your house who is not supposed to be there.

There's no way to tell if that person is just a burglar or might fucking kill you over your stuff. What are you supposed to do? Ask them? "Excuse me criminal, are you the murderous type or just a burglar?"

Obviously leave if you can, but this case shows running away doesn't always work. That poor family.

Well isn't that lovely. Must be someone who got lost and found their way off reddit by accident.

We can hope that they'll grow and learn as a human being and stop perpetuating misogynistic perspectives. For their sake and ours.

Maybe they don't know how babies are made?

In the past they've been socially aware enough to keep it to themselves. Since Trump became a thing they've gotten bold.

I live in New England so I'm close-ish to where this happened... I'd like to throw something on them like wine to stain their ghost costumes but who knows if thats legal and i dont want to end up in jail since i have responsibilities to people other than just me.

Is tossing glitter on them not assault? I want something that sticks and makes it so they don't want to wear that outfit anymore. Glitter that's fine enough never comes out.. because it's micro plastics. I normally avoid glitter but feel this might be an exception. Any other ideas non-violent ideas to make them feel unwelcome??

The mail carriers didn't do anything wrong, why would I send something through the mail that could completely ruin their day?

I'm looking to offend that rich cunt, not some poor worker who has to clean up a package full of shit if it gets destroyed in transit. Plus, mailing a piece of paper with a drawing of shit is far cheaper than mailing a box.

One baby can go through 6,000 diapers until potty trained.

One condom vs 6,000 diapers. I think your right about the condom doing less damage to the environment.

It was more or less a throw away comment pointing out that rich people and corporations don't get legally held accountable for the same transgressions the same way normal people do.

Rules for thee but not for me with this crap is getting tiresome.

Dude, I 100% get what your saying.

Unfortunately what your asking of people requires personal sacrifice, and people will mentally go all over the place to resist that.

A personal anecdotes is that I'm no longer in contact with my family because I refused to see my racist grandfather on his deathbed and didn't attend his funeral.

My grandfather was an abusive, literal stereotype of a racist(would say things like "them n-words down the road are fucking up this town") and a raging alcoholic. The world is better because he's fucking dead. Now I don't have a family of origin because I wouldn't pretend he was a good person.

Men will lose friends and family if they start calling this shit out. It's hard. You get told to "mind your business" or "it's just a joke " or get your masculinity questioned. Or the whole "but they're family" thing. I get why people resist it. No one wants to lose their social support, but often that's what it comes down to, and they'll make it feel like you're the one who's in the wrong the whole time.

Social pressure is a hell of a thing. I think framing the context around why men don't call this stuff out will help them recognize why they should.

Guess they'll have to shut down reddit since they have their analytics boosted by large amounts of bot activity.

The whole point of advertisers paying reddit for ad space is so people will see the ads.
