My wife has not worked since this started. In Canada at least we have the CERB for now ($2000 a month) but that ends end of August unless they extend it.

So at that point she will be quitting/fired/working only weekends? And we will be living off my income alone.

I am a lucky one where I have not lost my job and had my full normal salary all pandemic. I am also very safe with my money so we can afford to live off the one income for a long while. It won't be fancy and we are gonna have to give up a lot of stuff, but safety/health > money.

Yeah my wife and I have been lucky to have two workplaces that are actually thriving during covid. I'm quite grateful.

The issue there of course is that it was clearly intended to be derogatory in the text, and therefore the time argument doesn't really hold. It's intended as an insult and slur the exact same way.

Replace the slur with the word "idiot" or "moron". That's what they were going for back then I think. It wasn't until years later when that word became a big no-no in general society. If you go back and watch shows from the late 90s you'll see a lot of them say that word like it's no big deal at all.

It's unfortunate but like most people have said, it's a time period thing. At least they took it out of later releases.

Lift the flap under the joycon and blow in it. I do that when I get drift once in a while and it fixes it. Guessing gunk gets lodged in there.

Dunno who had the bright idea to put that flap there where stuff can easily get stuck but they weren't very smart.

Can try to spin it all day for the rest of your life. Doesn't change the point. The fact you are trying to spin it only emphasizes the point. You wouldn't be doing so if you weren't an example of the hypocrisy he is calling out.

You do realize you yourself are hypocritical based on this same logic right?

Too many people in these topics wear their political team badge on their sleeves. How about both cases are awful and both guys should be investigated and looked down upon accordingly?

Pointing out people on the opposite team acting hypocritically just makes you look foolish. Of course there are hypocrites on both sides, people suck.

Instead of pointing out hypocrisy after hypocrisy day in and day out, we should be able to point out bad things for what they are and move on.

Had to put my cat down last week myself. My first time losing a pet as well. Had him since I was a teenager and I'm 31 now. It was the most horrible thing I've ever done. I empathize with you completely and all I can tell you is the first few days suck but you'll get past it. Just remember you gave your kitty a great life and you'll never forget her and I'm sure she loved you very much.

I felt like I was finally getting past my cat but reading this ripped the wound back open. Losing a pet feels awful and in some ways worse than a human family member because there is no real closure and no real goodbye. All the pet knows is it's in a scary place and then the sense of going to sleep. It's so damn hard and I wish I was a lot less of an emotional person because of it.
