Parent is a word. Who cares.

Only difference that matters is if someone is recovering physically from labor or surgery.

Parents should all get paternal leave. Extra time for medical recovery.

Unfortunate. Our checkout lines still have 6ft markers and only one person can be at checkout at the time which they wipe down.

I've never seen surfaces being disinfected at the grocery aside from occasional touch screen wipedown.

Yeah it's hard to wipe down a full grocery store. Ours has people use hand sanitizer at the entrance line and wipes down checkout areas, carts, baskets, and bag loading areas (you have to put your items in your reusable bags in designated areas outside). I've seen fridge handles wipes occasionally.

Yep. They just send me to my doctor. The doctor offers drugs and/or CBT for my seemingly anxiety issues(still not convinced). I tried two different types of drugs then decided to go without them. Some CBT stuff helps though. Walking/hiking is however one of my biggest helps. Different strokes, different folks though.

CBT was very limited in how helpful it was in my experience. I don't think it's good enough for many people

I've found DBT more effective and this next week I'll be starting EMDR.

DBT is supposed to be useful for cptsd, bpd, and chronic thoughts of suicide. EMDR for PTSD, but apparently more too.

That's a hard way to answer if its helpful. Because I feel like I'm not making any progress in my life towards feeling better at this rate. I mean, I've got my reasons for doing it like I said. And what else is there possibly are there..? Not many other options sadly when you think about it. Having a mental health issue feels more like a luxury at times. I'm just glad I can scrap by on Medicare though otherwise I'd be fucked with no help.

I didn't mean to be callous but I came off that way. I definitely relate to the sentiment of barely wading water and therapy is just a drifting raft only keeping you so afloat. I guess I just really need to hope it takes me somewhere else. And without it is worse. So you gotta do what little you can?

Looks fine. Ultimately their original brand is going to hurt profits. As years progress, there's going to be more people who know and care about the racism behind it all and won't pick it up off of shelves because it's weird and a racist relic. So it not having the same brand identification might hurt too, sure, but they're just in a bad place either way.

Nothing wrong with baked beans on toast with cheese. It's tasty.

But yeah. Baked beans and toast, not a bad concept.

You're just making up this category that doesn't exist.

People living paycheck to paycheck don't generally have a future guarantee. Even stable salary jobs can be gone. That's not a guarantee. It's just not a thing that's for people without savings.

If you're financially secure, you have savings without needing a future paycheck that is not at all guaranteed.

Yes.

If someone can't meet all their needs within a single pay period then being able to do so would be a step up.
If someone can meet their needs but they don't know for how many pay periods this will last they might at some point fall back into the previous category.
Only when both conditions are met does someone have the option to live within the pay period with all the needs met and nothing additional carried over.

So you're trying to say living paycheck to paycheck is better than the paycheck not being enough?

That doesn't make them financially secure. They're one unexpected large expense or emergency from falling into the not good enough category.

That's not financially secure.

Sure there's different degrees of struggling but that doesn't make anyone living paycheck to paycheck financially secure.

And I'm pretty sure paycheck to paycheck usually just encompasses anyone who can't save.

Paycheck to paycheck generally includes people barely scraping by

> Imagine making so much that you don't have to save up for anything and the security that more is on it's way so it doesn't matter if you spend it all by then.

That is making assumptions that there's money than could be saved. That's not necessarily true. And people stuck in poverty are often not great about saving money because they expect it to all be gone anyway.

Just felt like you made a bunch of assumptions saying people living paycheck to paycheck are financially secure.

The very financially secure can waste money and still save. It's not security to be dependent on an imaginary future check.

I've heard that most are living paycheck to paycheck here.

But no, I have a year in cash savings for my not-cheap rent plus living expenses. Then I have my brokerage account with even more money if I needed to pull from there. And retirement is large too if I were really desperate.

But importantly, I have a safety net with my family. If I hit hard times I could move in with them. Many people don't have that.
