For both men and women, the type of hair style matters. Long flowing can go 6 months between cuts. The shorter the cut and the more detail the more often it needs to be cut. 6 weeks is often the case for short cuts. If shaved parts, every week might be necessary. In warm weather more often than in cold weather.

I do feel sorry for individual Americans who will lose their jobs, maybe their homes, maybe more. However, we saw what Russia has done to the Ukraine and we have to be just as wary about our Southern neighbour. We've always known that America is a good-weather friend and we can't count on them, even if they have always been able to count on us, but with Trump we have to believe that America would go even further and try to destroy us. We can't sit back and take that. Until Trump and his acolytes are out of power in the US - and that may never happen - we have to Stand On Guard for Thee (Canada). That means as little US vacation and as limited buying of US merchandise as we can individually manage.

"Too spoiled to do" I hate that phrasing and blame on workers. It used to be that summer farm work could be done by university students or other summer workers. It was always part of the year, part-time work so no one who needed an annual income could afford to do it. However no one in the farming industry wanted to find a way to make full year round jobs out of it or team up with other types of employment so their necessary workers could work the other 6, 7, 8 months of the year somewhere else and survive. They simultaneously want the work to be classed as piecemeal/poverty wage and then also demand workers skilled in the type of farming work that they need. Farmers, as a whole, have only themselves to blame for what is now happening. They supported every step in a several decades long process that has gotten them to today. Sad it has taken them until now to realize that they have created their own demise.

Just because he was prominent in your life doesn't mean he was to others. I've had to explain to more than a few people who he was since they'd never heard of him at all.

It's a motorized vehicle so the operator needs to be licenced. And not impaired. The danger it poses is that it is unexpected for regular vehicles and someone could have an accident and hurt an innocent person while trying to protect the asshole driving the toy. It wasn't a cute stunt. It was a prohibited driver trying to get around his prohibition while yet again, drunk.

Too bad there isn't a local population that could use the food. But if Americans can't afford it on their own, and with farmer's federal subsidies cut, farmers aren't about to sell cheaply or give it away locally.

I don't think your issue is age, it's more motivation. You may have some 'baby fever' but also so say you don't care one way or another and your husband is at least mildly against. Those are the best reasons why you should not consider children. If you BOTH were really excited to have a child and willing to make whatever changes necessary to have that child, your current ages wouldn't be a problem.

Ethically, the bar is much, much lower. By the time you have $25M net, you had to have exploited someone to get there and you'd have the clout to make at least local politics bend in your favour.

$10M and up would probably qualify. Below that, people would still need to work to maintain what they have with some measure of comfort and dealing with risk, inflation. Above that, they should be able to be self sustaining without working for a paycheque.

I'm none of those however I believe they are right to view it negatively. The rest of us should be just a wary.

Skill to do a job is important. However it seems that many younger people do not believe that interpersonal skills are a necessary skill because they haven't learned them. Some have much more difficulty learning them or are completely unable to learn them due to neuro differences. They have a choice to either learn interpersonal skills or find work that is isolated where others don't have to interact with them directly in order to do their jobs. Workplace accommodations can only go so far in helping if other people must interact with them in order to do their jobs. People in the workplace have always had to figure out how to work effectively with others. If they cannot, they have had to find other types of work that don't require working directly with people. What's new is expecting others to conform to individual needs instead of individuals conforming to the groups needs. Could you take a socializing class to learn the basics and get out of your current comfort zone? Your coworkers don't need you to become their best friend but they do need to feel that they are not working with a robot. (I say this as someone who had to figure it out pre-internet. I was labelled Officious & Cold in one of my first employment reviews.)

This whole Epstein thing is a diversion from Trump and his cronies literally stealing the US from its citizens. Of course Trump was in Epstein's circle of friends and we know he is a rapist. Don't need any more information - there is plenty already out there that Americans are blithely ignoring. I would be willing to bet that many of the currently aggrieved people, who helped elect Trump even with all the previously exposed information, will, if they get the Epstein file, do the exact same with the new information and give Trump an pass. Anybody who could vote for him after "grab them by the P****" and the rape defamation verdict, will give him a pass for anything, no matter how much they might be pretending to protest right now.
