Can we go out on a limb and say the father is even being sort of abusive here? I mean… Here’s a very dangerous thing that can cause people to die. Go have fun.

I get it isn’t that simple but… I have a kid. I also have guns. My kid wants to learn to shoot one day.

There’s a big heavy door, and a lock. No way for my kid to access them without me. No access.

There’s criticizing another’s parenting choices, and then there’s abuse and I am starting to think this is abusive.

Yes! Yes they should. I’m not sure they can be. Not with so many companies out there.

I work for a company in a location in a modest sized upper Midwest town. It is a decidedly white area. Yet, even with rather easy hiring requirements, the store is whiter than the area by a considerable margin. The GM sees fit to refuse staffing certain departments with women. At all. He’s openly used the n-word on the sales floor. He was called to the mat for that, and even with a history of bigoted activities and remarks, still has a job.

This is only an example. So yes, they should. But they don’t.

I don’t know, I mean an uproar over someone doing something responsible in getting rid of a pet is pretty stupid. You can say all you want, “oh no it ate something boo hoo” but that could have been the wake up call showing them they were not able to or willing to dedicate the time to properly care for the dog.

Maybe the passports were the latest thing and they realized it was their fault they were eaten, cue the soul searching and decision to put it up for adoption.

Seems a lot better and far less controversial then shooting it.

Can we fucking not.

Each and every one of the politicians in and adjacent to the democratic party better have one hell of a plan if they’re being this brazen in their calls for him to step back. This is really not good.

As Kongar said, I agree, the new car is an suv. Which… Is by and large not great, but also what’s an SUV now?

When I was a kid by parents had one of the original Nissan Pathfinders. The one with the spare wheel that swung away, definitely 4wd, and so forth. OJ Simpson ran from the cops in a white Bronco.

Those were SUVs. Today’s monster Expeditions and Suburbans are SUVs.

At introduction, the Subaru Outback was a station wagon. Now… It’s an SUV? I have a 2022. No, it’s not small, but I have a kid and we use the trunk space and the awd all the time. Winter sucks here, and there are dirt roads. But to me it’s a car. But on paper it’s an SUV.

I am sure there’s a real distinction, but… Next to a Tahoe or a Grand Cherokee it is absulotely not an SUV. It’s a car with awd and a beefy-ish suspension.

No, I can’t. Fucking… Is banana pudding a euphemism for something or has reddit gotten that awful??

That was a wild ride!

They’ve been used twice, no charges, not fired. Not at my store.

Yeah, I don’t know, I think it’s nuts, and I hate that place, but somehow it’s made to work.

Lovely.

The company I work for has some of the general managers of stores carrying tasers.

My retirement plan is to die in the climate wars.

I’m more concerned that something that important is only in the summary. Either I don’t understand how bills are written, granted in a state I don’t live in, or the text was changed but the summary not?

Wait, you guys have retirement accounts?

I have a 2022 OBW. Paint is not its strongest quality, that’s for sure.

I like the cut of your jib.

Not intentionally.

For example, Judit Polgar. Chess grandmaster, and excellent player, her highest rank in unsegregated rankings, like maybe top 100 right? Yeah, by age 12 she was 55th. Peak she was 8th in the world. Not 8th among women, among men and women.

It’s unsettling how she was regarded by some, and this was in the 90s. If I remember right, even Kasparov was less than kind. He might have turned around in his later years.

Yeah, and I’m fairly certain he bought the right to be called ‘founder’ of Tesla… From the founders.

There’s losing sight, and then there’s trying to find it. I remember a short video where a toddler was wandering straight for a road, and someone happened to prevent a tragedy, and mom came running out of the house as the camera was still rolling.

People were calling negligence, what a terrible mom, yadda yadda. No, that mom was running around the house looking for her kid, frantic as time passed. You just don’t think they can open the door that early. Manipulating a door latch or knob is a developmental milestone, plus, what if the door didn’t properly latch? Mom could just as easily looked outside first, but that would be counterintuitive.

Also, “I thought you had him/her?” Is a real thing.

Affiliated means close formal or informal association. I think 1% of funding and no government appointed people really doesn’t rise to that standard.
