Mouselemming

It was his first day, he only had the pen in his pocket.

And what have we learned, kids?

Always carry a pocketful of googly eyes!

I started by always backing into my apartment space when I come home from work, as a little gift to morning me who's always in a hurry. It's also one of the things they say people should do during wildfire season, and probably applies to most emergencies.

Hey, points for using the bus system (even if it's because $) despite its faults. Consider about ways those cramped seats hamper people with various disabilities (canes/crutches/oxygen) and perhaps the % of population vs the number of "handicap seats" as you think about how to file a claim.

Oh I think we can all agree airplane seats are the shittiest and airplanes are a terrible mode of travel, the whole experience has become godawful. If people had any other option that could transport them far distances quickly, they'd take it.

At least veniasulente does USE the buses even though they've become so uncomfortable. And filing a legal case is one way to prevent them from becoming even more cramped. You know, the reason airline seats/aisles are so shitty is because they got the government to carve out exceptions for them from the ADA decades ago, so you CAN'T file a legal claim.

This is why, whenever I can, I back into parking lot spots. It's much safer to back into a space because it has no oncoming traffic, just 2 parked cars to squeeze between and one to stop before hitting it. And then I drive out frontways so I can see. My Odyssey rear camera is very helpful for parking but useless for seeing someone zooming out of left field.

Actually they often are intentionally silly:

"Happy birthday from the cat! I put a dead mouse on your pillow and a hairball in your shoe! Have a day full of fun surprises!"

"Merry Christmas from the dog! I was going to bring you some mistletoe but I accidentally ate it. So I barfed it up on the carpet. Might eat it again later."

Taking micro doses of what you're allergic to can cure your allergies! Why not try taking a little meth, and then increasing the amount day by day?

" for neglecting your child's right to food"

So you (the district) agree that right exists? Either you're not providing food and thus you're doing the neglecting and also they don't owe you anything, or you are required to provide food regardless of payment because you're in loco parentis during the school hours. And the $450 could very likely have been used to provide food and other necessities for those kids before and after school.

If you want to charge them with neglect, you have to prove they neglected their child, not just your budget.

This, but in case you didn't know, there's quite a few commercially made "Happy (whatever)day From The Cat/Dog/Pets" cards out there. She probably found it while looking for a card for her own dad. Whether she was pranking him or just thought it'd be cute depends on her personality.

That's sweet actually. It's like she's saying, "I don't need to pressure you for grandkids, I'm happy with grandkitties. I'm proud you're a good Cat Dad."

Oh anything that's not completely selfish for the people who already have all the privileges qualifies as "woke" to them.

I agree it's just basic common sense and humanity.

But then I felt compelled to point out you can't rely on it for safety, because pedestrian deaths are high and on the rise.

Yes. Even in places where they could get a ticket for jaywalking, cars are supposed to yield and let them mosey/stagger/traipse etc.

This fact will not actually stop a moving vehicle, however. Neither will the painted lines of a crosswalk. So make use of your larger visual field and look out for distracted drivers, e.g. all of them.
