Those are cockroach pupae

The brown things are not termites, they're pupae cases of another insect. Try vacuuming all that up and keeping an eye on it

Or be invested in managed funds with high fees that are performing poorly vs index funds. My 403b is definitely up over this same period, but I'm only in index funds

You were talking about the asylum seekers Texas sent to Martha's Vineyard and NYC after lying to them and withholding information from the receiving jurisdictions for the purpose of creating political theater

Well asylum seekers aren't illegal immigrants, to be clear, but once Texas knows about them, you fucking can prepare for them, dumbass. My entire point was that the Texas government purposefully lied and withheld information to create political theater in other jurisdictions that were more than willing to help and coordinate a shared response

Literally no one thinks all the states shouldn't bear the load of refugees equally. The "emergency" was the Texas government lying to people about what they were doing on the bus and secretively transporting them specific places to create political theater. If the Texas government said "hey y'all, we have a lot of refugees coming in. We're going to be sending 3 bus loads/week to NYC, and a bus load will arrive to Martha's Vineyard in 2 days," you do realize none of this would've been in the news at all

No, but I have my son take a shower before bed every day 'cause kids get gross

Have you tried having your son take a shower to wash his own asshole, or are you teaching him washing his own asshole is gay

This has definitely been happening forever. Unnecessary fillings are par for the course. I went to a new dentist once and on the first visit he told me I needed 3 fillings. I declined and a high pressure sales pitch followed. I went to someone else the next time who said there was nothing that required immediate attention. I've been going there for years and just now needed one filling from her.

Lots of other people would just trust the first sleazebag dentist, or lack the confidence to say no, making this a serious problem. Licensing boards need to hold their licenses accountable for performing ethical work

I don't think you're the target audience of Barbara Bush or People magazine

For a younger, moderately conservative woman who sees Trump for who he is, this sort of endorsement can give them cover to vote for a Democrat

My 6 year old son points and laughs at Cybertrucks. "It looks so weird. Why's it so pointy?" Direct quote
