I'm not going into the bad parents aspect but I doubt this is a "generational trend", you are just entering the stage of life where a lot of people want that. I'm guessing you are between early/mid twenties to mid thirties? That's when people mostly have babies. It's not a "generation" it's just where you and who you surround yourself with are in your/their life progress.

You may not want kids, and that's ok. Some people do especially in that age range.

I mean an easy way to do this is using location... Have them visit their ex in jail, mental asylum, or new partner's house. I never thought I would walking through the visitor entrance of the county jail, much less to visit her. I wish it could of been different but once she grabbed that knife I knew what I had to do.

You could also use one of their health... "I can never trust you again after what you did" she yelled at you as she held her open right hand towards her left arm in a cast and sling...

You could also use symptoms of trauma... She took her fifth shower that day as hot as her crappy apartment's water heater could go. No matter how much she scrubbed she still couldn't wash away the feeling of his cum on her.

So you claimed your fifth amendment, while drinking a fifth of liquor while at firehouse subs...yeah I am starting to start siding with the worker

That all makes sense except the Spanish sucks comment but I'm assuming that's a typo.

Currently my kids doctor is asking if we want to get a vegistal nerve stimulator to control seizures. It's a lot less invasive then a kidney transplant but I still don't know, and I used to make medical implant stimulators. Granted it's a little different as they are only labeled for single focal seizures and he has multi focal but even without that it's still major surgery.

2 major examples and 1 fun one.

1. Hurricane Floyd. I lived on the top of a mountain. Next to the major road to go into town was a park/glen. The year prior the trees got infected with some type of Japanese beetle so the town ripped all infected trees out and replanted. Because it was only a year though the roots had not really spread into the ground though. The hurricane came through and the edge of the Glen gave way without those solid roots and the road literally washed into the the Glen. Two other ways into town, one had about 8 blind hair pin turns(not meant for lots of traffic or school buses), the other was basically down other side and loop around the mountain adding between an hour to an hour and a half onto your trip(including getting to/from school). That year SUCKED to be in school with a 2 hour commute each way.

2. Hurricane sandy. Lived in same place, hurricane came though but at this point I was working. My job got running 2 days later, I got power back a month later and tv/internet 2 weeks after power. I spent a lot of time at the office because they had light, heat, working toilets, and TV in the break room. I had a well system at the house, no power to run pump no water, no toilets or shower. I had a oil furnace but couldn't light it with power to charge the ignition.

3. This is not as serious, I moved to my own apartment across the country. One night I was playing metro 2033, lights out in room, door closed, headphones on. I was completely immersed as I was traveling through this train tunnel scanning for monsters jumping out at me. All I could hear was the occasional screech of monsters and the squeel of the train wheels on the track. All of the sudden a lightning bolt struck my balcony railing in real life. My entire room lit up for a burst and a large crack could be heard. I don't know how I managed to keep my underwear clean...

If you didn't say what they represent, I'd never of guessed

I'm going to guess... Korean grocery store in usa?

I understand that. Still good news though. Out of curiosity, say your doctor comes to you tomorrow to do something like what's in the article, would you?

I live in a suburb of a large city. These might be higher since it's me, gf, and kid. Rent with all included fees: 1850

Utilities(basically just electric): 200-400 per month depending on weather

Phone : 40 per month(had to buy phone out of pocket first)

Food: 400-600 recently with only groceries no eating out

Transportation(gas for car): 100 minimum

Car insurance: 275 (no tickets, 1 accident 4 years ago but I was found 0% at fault)

Car payment: 350 (paid off next month)

Total(check my math I did it in my head) 3250 per month for essentials

Oh it was definitely enterprise. Yeah the company could probably opt certain accounts out of teams but that also drastically reduces the intern's ability to do anything. Basic example is they each were assigned a manager to actually work for them but were also assigned a "mentor" who was higher up and met with them weekly for 30 minutes... Almost always over a teams video call.

I like my head cannon better... They all are for things to put in your mouth 😋

Hmm... Now that would be interesting. At my last company every summer we would get high school interns (which I didn't even know were a thing). Imagine if you got turned down for an internship because you legally were not allowed to use teams which is how most chats and meetings were held...
