I had 8 weeks fully paid through use of accrued PTO. 8 weeks is about the minimum of paternity leave necessary to kind of get your life back into order imo. This isn't a vacation, it's taking full care of a little person that needs help every 2-3 hours. If both you and your partner work it would be impossible without leave just due to sleep depravation. Our first kid was (is still 4 years later) a terrible sleeper and the first few months were hell. Luckily our second is actually a better sleeper than the first right now and she's only 8 months old lol.

But yes, 12 weeks paternity is not a vacation, it is work. Plan for 12 weeks and if you think that you have everything sorted then great, go back. But daycare might be more than what you would make going back to full pay so just consider that too.

Maybe once they are done solving imaginary problems they will work on real ones.

I don't mind disagreements of opinions, but when we start having disagreements about reality that's when I disengage.

Yes, will someone please think of the shareholders?

Honestly asking: what other way would anyone suggest to bring back outsourced manufacturing jobs?

Probably with some sort of long term plan instead of randomly turning sweeping tariffs on and off.

I basically bought my first (only) house for 0 money down with first time homebuyers stuff. Ya I had to pay mortgage insurance for a while but my mortgage payment is less than what it would be to rent the same house by like, a lot.

Turns two very good breeds into a mystery box. The breeders claim that they are hypoallergenic, which is not guaranteed, and they claim that they don't need to be groomed, but they usually do. Most reputable breeders don't breed them so they are usually in worse health than pure bred dogs from a reputable breeder for more money.

Basically, they are a scam. The puppies sure are cute though.

I wouldn't want my streamer to talk about current politics. I'm there to escape that talk. It's the same reason I'm not subscribed to any political communities, if I want that news I'll go to all.

The real problem is that the paper clips were on backwards.

People anthropomorphize dogs too much. If anyone has seen a working dog do their job as a puppy with 0 training they might reconsider the dogs that were bred to fight.

My dog was also attacked by a pitbull at a dog park. My dog would have died if the pitbull bit just a little bit further in, its jaws were clamped onto my dogs neck skin. It took two full grown men and me gouging its eyes for about 2 minutes before it would release. My dog's transgression to provoke the other dog? Smelling its butt one time.
