I wouldn't have nearly as many issues with conservative principles if they weren't so hypocritical in how they enact them.

I'm not opposed to lowering taxes, smaller government, and respecting individual rights, but they simultaneously support bailing out big businesses, expanding church and state, and massive deficit spending to pay for dumb wars and tax loopholes for hedge fund managers.

I'd rather see our government provide food, healthcare, and shelter than any of the above things.

Well said. I could be - probably WOULD be - a conservative, if it wasn’t for Republicans.

You’re free to not believe me. It doesn’t matter.

I used to call myself a connservative, and then I realized what absolute garbage Republicans are really are.

These days I belive in smaller government, compassionate capitalism, individual freedoms, and general anti-conservatism

Conservatives changed from indexing on fiscal conservatism to indexing on social conservatism. Got amplified with Bush and Trump.

Fair point.

I think part of the issue you are struggling with is the limited thinking in that only conservatives are hypocritical.

I never said liberals aren't hypocritical. But I find liberal hypocrisy to be much less dangerous than conservative hypocrisy.

Liberal hypocrisy is tweeting about capitalism from your iPhone. Conservative hypocrisy is claiming to defend the Constitution, while simultaneously stripping rights from minorities and undermining democracy.

Put simply. Liberal hypocrites are cringy and naive. Conservative hypocrites are downright dangerous.

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?

Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF. I did ask this with our doctor and he said casually its all same. This is not to question any doctor but just to really understand what is going to be different with the kid. This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.

Okay, it’s time to stop putting on a face about this. I love my boyfriend so much, but covid is ruining us. We are both still WFH and argue every few days about the dumbest stuff. My and his mental health are both diminishing and it feels like an impossible trench to dig out of. My stomach hurts every time we fight and I (independent of him) feel so stuck in this horrible global crisis. I don’t want to lose him, but I need to figure out how to dig us both out of this unsustainable mental state.
