It’s hilarious when you realize OP is essentially saying “You know what makes me a professional at life? I don’t ask people if they want kids. You’re welcome.”

I salute you. I’ve seen too many parents that, in retrospect, hadn’t really thought through if they REALLY wanted kids or not.

Never get emotionally attached to a car you're looking at; always be prepared to walk away if the seller won't negotiate a deal. Have your mechanic inspect the car especially if you're buying from a private seller. Always look at cars in the daylight and never in the dark.

Live your truth. Ask them whatever you like.

Not the cheapest for me, but the few times I’ve had to use it, it’s been an incredibly easy and smooth process. Would not use anyone else even if it saves me a few bucks.

On top of that, there are quite a few people that are unable to bear/have children. So bringing that up constantly could be a sore subject

Not really a LPT, people should just mind their own business. If someone want children, believe me, they gonna inform you. If not, well what does it matter then.
My LPT if people keep asking, just say "I do not know if I can get children" a fine line of being truth, and being awkward enough for most people to stop asking.

Wawanesa (Canadian insurance company) is incredibly cheap and the customer service is awesome. Been with them for years now. Unfortunately, they are currently only available in two US states (CA and OR). It pays to shop around and do a little homework.

Why? Why is it not ok to ask if someone changed their mind?

The point of the cover letter is to convince your potential employer that you're a great fit for the position. It's persuasive and informative and aligns the job requirements with your skill set.
A perfect situation to use AI to not waste my time doing something someone may not even read.

Reply to LPT: How to support someone grieving: the process is not linear and often takes longer than people think (even, and sometimes especially, when the relationship with the deceased was painful or estranged). A year may seem like a long time since a death, but to the grieving, it can feel very recent. by survivalothefittest

Evidently depends where you are. I'm in Alberta Canada and just switched to Costco's insurance partner, Inova. It dropped my car insurance by 40% and house insurance by a whopping 78%. YMMV.

I didn’t want kids when I was young and changed my mind once married. People also change. And young folks commonly don’t want kids and also commonly change their mind. I am against asking people if they want kids in general, but the question can seem as valid.

While that is true this one is a pretty common issue, there are a lot of people that don't seem to be able to be keep their opinions about having kids to themselves even after being told by someone they don't want kids. My partner and I don't want kids and have both heard the "you'll change your mind" etc etc many, many times from many different people from both close friends and family and acquaintances. And when we say no we don't want kids we often still get condescending responses like people know ourselves better than we do.
My partner gets the worst of it since she's the one that would actually be having them. I feel like this one is a proper LPT, a lot of people out there need to hear it.
