Ooh, thanks for the heads up on her new vid! I love her stuff.

That bit about suburban housewives is not correct. Swing voters are more likely to be young and male, and there isn't much distinction between rural/suburban/urban.

Amazing what money and power does to a person. 🙄

Well, one's alive and the other isn't. As long as the inheritors of MJ's estate are decent people, I think it's fine at this point. Still skeeves me out to listen to his stuff, though. Two verses in and my brain is popping.

No, it's more like 25,000 bananas.

Um, I'm sitting here wondering where they spent the rest of their savings. (Parent here.)

Not OP, but I've found that the older they get, the harder it gets. Schedules are all over the place, and they start advocating for things they want to do that don't fit neatly into the family calendar (vs when you were able to choose everything for them).

Expectations for parents have also skyrocketed. Your "best" now is far different than what the 1990s parents were expected to deliver. And, of course, you love them and want to provide them everything they need, so you bend over backwards to make it happen. That's what society demands, too.

I don't have as many kids as OP, and I can't fucking imagine wrangling five in the current world...😳

Lucky! Mine's gone, and I honestly can't remember if I deleted it

I had an Angel fire site

I see it on TikTok a lot, in the comments on a video that seems implausible. It's sometimes someone genuinely asking the other commenters if the (whatever it was) is true. Other times people just use it to express astonishment.

Think of it as a replacement for "For real??"

A lot are tuning out. WA state saw the lowest voting rates since the 1930s during the 2023 election. (Though TBF, there was nothing really big on the ballot. Mostly local elections, which tend to get low turnout.)
