Despite the state’s rightward shift, Florida leads the nation for Obamacare enrollment with more people relying on this coverage than anywhere else in the country.

Could Venezuela's government have made this up? Possibly. They have motive and they are not the most honest people, to put it mildly.

I absolutely thought you were going to just duplicate this paragraph for the US. I'd laugh, but it would only be to mask my misery.

I wonder how much she had to put out to get her job.

Don't worry; even if he does, his deal with the devil will ensure he survives. I'm convinced it's the only reason the hamberders haven't done their job.

I feel like I would suspect them less if they hadn't said anything. Most of Israel's formal statements regarding allegations of Israeli violence are lies, so what would make this statement different?

I'm guessing you're located in the US, based on the location of the schools. I recommend presenting your husband with statistics regarding the amount of money a single income household needs compared to what jobs meet those needs. Most jobs in this country don't provide a livable single wage, let alone family wage, and this is only getting worse with inflation. The likelihood of your daughter finding a husband who can take care of her without her help nowadays is extremely slim. It's possible, but to count on that is very dumb.

Your husband sounds very out of touch.

You need to have a serious conversation with your husband about how he is setting her up to fail by giving her whatever she wants. She's a child; he's an adult and should know better.

I think that's the age I'll turn next, but I kinda stopped remembering/caring once I hit 30. My advice is to not remember how old you are so that you have to do math to figure it out; that should discourage your friend from being bothered by how old he is. Instead, he can be bothered by the fact that he can never remember his own age. ;P

She's a popular child education entertainer. Her Wikipedia article.

Mid-30s woman here, from western US. I call my mom any of the following, depending on mood/context:

  • Mom
  • Mommy
  • Mama
  • Ma (definitely can become Maaaaa at times)
  • Uma
  • Mother (usually in a jokingly stern tone)
  • Her name (when she's being particularly deaf)

That goddamned movie made leaves look delicious and my child self did not appreciate the lesson in reality versus fantasy. ಠ_ಠ
