Pretty wild! All states give you at least 30 days to dump your baby, no strings attached. Some states give you 60 days!

I feel like more people should know about this! It seems like a highly under utilized ability.

      I suppose adding “US” before “states” would have been a more inclusive language choice, but I was going for conciseness over inclusivity I guess. Using context, I feel that the meaning of my title is still clear.

      I do however apologize to anyone that may be offended by my language choice!

      Just wait till you hear about how they call cities and towns in other countries “settlements” to make you care less about them being destroyed. Even when those places are older than the USA.

          All over every piece of corporate owned media, lately especially re: Gaza and especially from NYT/BBC? Same deal as calling the kids in the Epstein files “underage women” and raping them sex. Doesn’t “clearing a settlement” sound better than “destroying a city”? It’s kinda disappointing you haven’t developed at least this much awareness of media biases by now, hate to imagine what the LLMs are imprinting on that preciously smooth brain :(

              Brother I gave you two specific examples and a more general overview, if you need more “here comes the airplane” than that I suggest seeing if your mother has enough patience left to deal with you
