Most do. It's the only reason they finally somewhat caught on after a rough start when users had to download an app in order to read the code.

I endorse this as a data professional. It's maddening.

So this is an issue that gets my goat because people react emotionally (which is understandable) but don't follow on to think about what's going on that "dumpster babies" are a relatively common phenomenon. If it was one or two people doing this here and there, then I'd accept that it's a problem with the individuals, but since it happens so frequently, there is a systemic issue at play that needs to take some of the blame.

Yes, there are baby drop boxes, but what might keep someone from using them? (Edit to clarify based on the replies: other than abortion access, which should be available everywhere to everyone who needs it) Are there other resources that could be made available? Are there medical or social pressures creating barriers to utilizing efforts to decrease infanticide? I don't think there's one answer but what I do know is that prison is probably not the answer to preventing more of these deaths.

I haven't ever cheated but I'm an armchair human development nerd and I'd assume that there are some things at play like:

• Social narratives that make it seem like there's only one true love out there for you (assuming the cheating here is only physical and not love).
• There can be shame in divorce or breaking up.
• There's the sunk cost fallacy of staying with someone because you've put so many years into the relationship.
• If there are kids, people can believe (whether it's true or not) that it's harmful to the kids to separate
• People compartmentalize and can develop really weird cognitive dissonance where they build two realities and can operate as if the two have nothing to do with each other. It's hard to explain.
• All the other collateral with separating, like potentially moving, new financials and potential child support/alimony, custody challenges, health insurance through marriage, job shifts, etc. etc.

Before you angrily hit reply, dear reader, I'm not defending or condoning cheating. I'm just trying to answer the sociological question of why it's a behavior that happens enough that we're talking about it in this thread.

Can we get one of these in DC next?

More exposure of accounts like this, please.

Don't forget getting rid of the penny and axing daylight saving time. 100% president of the century if he executive ordered these things.

New drag king fit just dropped:

Great idea. That stuff is also used as packing paper for packages or moving. I think I'll start saving it as I get it.

Don't forget the Big Mac index, apropos the incoming administration.

Getting my financial situation shifted to risk adverse and saving as much as I can.

It seems like a lot of toxicity warnings are based on an industrial scale so I'm curious about the impact of using a couple printed boxes, versus the impact of the next laziest option: synthetic landscaping "fabric" or that thick black plastic material.
