Started looking at the dew point more than the temperature to see how comfortable the weather will be

Same temperature today as last week but because the dew point is a lot lower, it's cooler. Last week was hot
 
random rant about work... my bad but not worth making a thread over so posting in here instead... but my boss is mad cheap... so he decides he wants to get lunch for our team plus some people in the finance department.... so we order lunch from Chipotle...he's going to expense it using his own card then get the receipt and send that to our company who will pay him back in the next pay period... but instead of doing that he asks one of the temps from Finance to use their card and pay and he will pay them back... we get the food then he asks me do I have cash on me... I said yes and he was like can you give the cash to the temp and I will zelle you tomorrow... he's trustworthy but it just seems so unnecessary... plus now I only got like 10 bucks in my wallet smh....

Why didn’t you say no? Your boss is running an office lunch Ponzi scheme.
 
FATHER'S DAY & MOTHER'S DAY.
It's interesting how society treats irrepressible/negligent mothers compared to irrepressible/negligent fathers, and this is GLARINGLY true surrounding Father's Day & Mother's Day.

We have a WIDELY accepted term for irresponsible dads: Baby Daddy. "He's not my daughter's father. He's just my baby daddy."
As Father's Day is approaching, I'm seeing memes & posts along the lines of "Hope nobody says Happy Fathers Day to my Baby Daddy!'
And that's fine; he sucks if he doesn't prioritize his kid[ s ].
But if anyone said "Hope nobody says Happy Mother's Day to my kiddo's mom!" before Mother's Day, they'd get draaggggeeed. No one would ask for context, and the emboldened would chime in defending her without even knowing her. If you DARE say anything negative about a mom... pill-popping, alcoholic, neglectful, abusive, don't even like kids, even moms that literally left their kids like my mom did to my sister & I... the response is VERRRY different than the things I'm seeing right now leading up to Father's Day.
"She had a lot going on."
"She still gave birth to [kid's name] and nothing will take that away. You need to respect that."
"She'll figure it out. Give her a break. Poor thing."
And if the criticism is from a guy (her son, father, brother, etc) then the defense is already locked in:
"You're not a woman so you have no idea what she went through."

It's gross.
Hold moms accountable when they do things that you can't stand seeing from dads.

When 'baby daddy' is negligent/irresponsible, I don't want that criticism to stop. Actually I love it; COMPLETELY here for it.
But when moms are negligent/irresponsible, don't hold back. Say whatever you would say if it were Baby Daddy.
And support STRUGGLING BUT WILLING fathers who make mistakes instead of this classic line I've also seen so much: "See, their mother knows that. That's why custody almost always goes to moms. Guys just have no idea what they're doing."

Prioritize the KIDS, and that's not a gender specific demand.
Mom, dad, I don't care: Kid comes first and if they're not coming first, DO BETTER.

1. Criticize moms making irresponsible/negligent decisions that don't put kids first the same way you criticize Baby Daddy.
2. Support 'struggling but willing' dads the same way you support 'struggling but willing' moms.
