It is easy for me to answer, my mom is old. My wife can probably tread water while I get my mom to shore.

I told my wife this and she replied that she is a strong, independent woman who can swim perfectly well on her own. The right answer is that I should grab my mom and start bringing her towards the shore while my wife swims ahead and helps me pull her in once we get to shallower water.

The trendy junk store at the mall still sells them and has a literal line to get in. I have no idea if Labubus are trending down or not, but they still seem pretty popular around here.

It doesn't have to be a religious celebration. Just copy the USSR and celebrate the parts of Christmas you want (putting up a tree, gift exchanges) on New Years.

I get where you are coming from, but I find holiday decorations to be one of the highlights of an otherwise crummy season.

Winter is so depressing. It is cold and dark all the time. It is fun to come home to a bunch of silly lights everywhere. I leave mine up for a few weeks past Christmas. If you ask me, the tree should stay up until the first day of spring.

And Soviet Socialism never went away either, it just reorganized upper management. Instead of the state owning a few mega companies, a few mega companies now own the state. In either case, it is the people controlling the human/natural resources paying off politicians to overlook all the horrible shit they do.

Good to know. Never heard that abbreviation before.

First of all, I am not sure what you are talking about in regards to my user name.

Second of all, parents living paycheck to paycheck are not buying their kids a new phone and a new door every time their child has a hard day at school and decides to blow off steam by smashing up the house.

Working class kids should learn not to throw destructive tantrums as toddlers, when they rip the head off a toy and their parent glues it back together, crooked, instead of buying them a new one.

I do not think I ever threw a tantrum that that destroyed property (I probably tried as a toddler, but I did not have the strength).

This is why therapy is penny foolish and pound wise. Your parents should have been paying for a therapist to teach you not to throw tantrums, not simply paying to fix the house every time you smashed it up.

The important bit is not that Paul was "sent home", it is that "he will no longer be with the team". In other words, he is fired.

The team is not "blaming Chris for [their] underperformance," so there is likely something else going on. Did the Clippers get tipped off about a controversy involving Paul and want him listed as a "former player" in the news story?

He did briefly take up a boxer's stance with his fists raised but dropped it before the shoving started. It was a threatening gesture, but I am sure other players involved made equal threats with their words.

If he actually threw a punch, it would be an ejection.

Not sure why Suggs was the only one tossed. Nothing about his behavior seemed particularly worse than what the others were doing. Maybe it was because he was the last one to let it go?

Except that I am using a very porous knit scarf as a mask and only masking up outdoors (the opposite of proper masking).
