You’re comparing the caffeine content of a 30oz drink to a 16 oz and 12 oz respectively. Red bull is 111. Monster is 86. I had gotten these charged lemonades regularly before these lawsuits. Know what was on the machine when you went to get it? The exact caffeine content. The entire time. Always. It was pretty clearly marketed as having about as much caffeine as a cup of coffee if you drank a cup of coffee worth. If these specifically need to be marketed as energy drinks, then so does coffee. A standard cup of coffee has 100-150 mg of caffeine.

The first time I had a full 30 oz serving of the mango one I felt like I was vibrating. I decided from that point on to only get half and fill the rest with unsweetened tea. There absolutely should be clearly marked caffeine content in things. And we live in a litigious society. I’m pissed because now I have to ask one of the employees to get these for me instead of me just being able to serve myself…like I can their coffee.

How I made the decision: asked myself do I want to have children because that is what I want or because that is what is expected/wanted by others? For me, it was the latter. I have been incredibly happy with the decision, though I’m also incredibly fortunate and privileged to be in the spot my partner and I are in.

My partner and I had the luxury of me being in grad school as the “excuse” for why we hadn’t had kids. Then student loans. But at a certain point that was unfair to us and our parents. My partner is an only child so her parents won’t have grandkids. I have a brother who has kids.

Avoiding uncomfortable conversations and putting the wants of other people before yours is something we all do. However, doing that with bringing a whole living being is, in my opinion, a recipe for fucking disaster.

If you want kids because you want to, then you should. If you don’t want kids because you don’t, then you shouldn’t. If your partner is on a different wavelength, you need to have a very adult conversation. The decision to bring a life into this world (especially at this point) is huge. This is also not a conversation to convince the other person you’re right (this goes for your partner too).

I hope you are able to make this decision in a way that fits best for you.

It’s been a minute, but the guy wrote an open letter that was long enough to put in book form, A Letter to a Christian Nation.

Disclaimer: I haven’t kept up with his stuff since the late 2000’s so can’t speak to more recent offerings of his or his views, just figured it’s worth pointing out.

This is only related because of kidnapping, but Robert Evans Behind The Bastards did a quick series on the viral kidnapping phenomenon. It’s a great (fascinating and exhausting may actually be a better set of words) listen.

I call it my God hole.

Surely to fuck the FAA will resist such a move that is based on a bottom line of a corporation and not on safety, right?..right?!

I don’t like that comment at all.

But what if you’re not Scottish or have Scottish heritage? Does that have an effect on how good you look doing it? I mean, it’s seeems to be not as natural if you’re not Scottish, but I guess what do I know, I’m only 25% Irish and 25% Norwegian.

And why shouldn’t you get pockets, after all it is your garment.

I mean, who can say at this point.

Jack_of_all_derps ,

Yeah I have a couple questions with the first being, how dare they?

To add another part on from another clinical psychologist/therapist: it seems like sometimes just assuming what the person is looking for validation or help can cause some problems one way or the other. Sometimes just asking directly what they are looking for is worthwhile. It can be a beneficial exercise in clarifying expectations and takes out chance for a “wrong” (used VERY loosely) choice of approach or possibly missed signals. Personally and anecdotally, it seems to bring more awareness into the equation for everyone involved overtime (if doing so with a partner/friend/family member/etc.).
