I never have used detergent for colored clothes.

Apparently not specific enough: I use clothes detergent for all my clothes, but not detergent for colored clothes, I use regular clothes detergent for all my clothes

Not sure if you noticed women's pants are significantly tighter and more form fitting than men's. They also tend to be thinner and stretchier to accommodate, and therefore usually wear out faster and are not as good in cold weather.

That sounds awful. All of it. I hope your work hours are reduced to reasonable at some point soon, and I hope you don't need to worry about money when that time comes.

Pretty sure throughout history most (if not all) generations have worked to give their kids a better (if not approximately equal) quality of life to their own. That isn't feasible for many people, and older generations are frustrated that it wasn't/isn't feasible for many who are currently young adults. That, along with the ability to control if you have kids, makes the choice for many of us. Why would you choose to have kids if their lives are worse than your own and you don't enjoy your own?

Many people are voting red because they think it will be better for their personal finances, with promises of lower taxes. They don't look at the benefits: that use to outweigh the cost, which we've mostly lost Even though we still pay high taxes and high cost of living for things that are now for (higher) profit (healthcare, school, etc.). It's not wrong to try and look at your bottom line, it's just a short-sighted bottom line.

At least this is the conversation I have with people who consider themselves moderates who lean right and tend to vote Republican.

You can be generous with your time and empathy and people will tend to remember it more than money. It's easy to be generous with money when you have it. It's not as common to be generous with kindness.

I don't know your work situation to know if you have time to spare (when others are available) but I hope you have time to at least enjoy your own life. Also, not getting married due to red flags is a good reason to not get married. It sucks to not find your a person for yourself but it's honestly better than dreading going home.

Generally if women wear something, men will avoid it to not appear affeminate. Increasingly so throughout history as fashion is incorporated into gender roles.

Adding fruit is considered adding sugar? Adding whole grain would also have some amount of sugar, so that would be considered adding sugar too.

Many other products do that too, mostly candy, with apple and grape juices.

It's totally unfair to judge humanity on just one pandemic when people refuse to wear masks and quarantine. We should also look at the 1918 pandemic.

I want a new DM.

I too would appreciate understanding this more

I like peanut butter with sugar, but it's candy in my mind. Peanut butter and jelly sandwich is just a dessert sandwich.

As a relatively young woman, I like being treated as an equal in a partnership, rather than as a utility in a relationship. I'd rather be alone than a grown adult's nanny. This is a wild idea to many young men who have trouble respecting women, but insist they are the most respectful to women because they hold the door open sometimes.

In my defense, I'd like to live in a country where retirement is an option. I don't get paid enough to save. Something needs to flex 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was going to reply similarly. I shop at a (regional) local grocery chain, and it's a bit out of my way, but the prices are about 2/3 of other grocery stores. If I get store brands it's about 1/2 the cost, but they don't always have store brands for everything. They have a wider selection of produce though, because they cater to a broader demographic. I'm very lucky though, not everyone has the option to shop locally owned business.

Before saying "everything is the same" maybe try looking first.

Most people can't fight it. Fighting a claim, depending on insurance, requires multiple different Doctors recommending the same thing. Sometimes the insurance requires prior steps taken that are unavailable to individuals (I was required to take antibiotic that I'm allergic to before a surgery). Getting into a specialist can take months, and the costs of seeing a specialist are not often covered at all (goes towards deductible), and unless you live in or near a city you may not be able to find specialists you don't need to get a hotel to see (travel expenses and time off work are not covered). Not to mention, if fighting a denied claim rolls over to the next year, everything starts over, even if you have the same insurance it's considered a new policy because it's a new year.

Unless you have unlimited time and money, fighting a denied claim is pretty difficult and goes nowhere fast. That's how the system was designed.

I got cerave as a face lotion, my husband uses it maybe more than I do.

I don't think cruelty is the point of everyone. Sometimes the point is willful ignorance. "Well that's not what I think an abortion is" or "it's not about that stuff, it's about using it as contraceptive" talking about life saving medical intervention.
