............. Just use Outlook. SORRY, SORRY, SORRY, I’m leaving right now!
Right? What kind of parent doesn’t see an 1180 SAT score and go, “Honey, I love you very much, but we need to be realistic about this.”
Oy. I’m sorry that happened. That is definitely something my father would do. A few years ago I got a birthday card informing me my present was a $1200 .22 that I obviously wouldn’t want to be kept at his house. So....he bought himself another overpriced gun for my birthday. He lives half the country away from me...
Nope. I have a toddler, before she plays at a new playmate’s house we ask about pools, balconies, trampolines, pets, and guns. Is it sometimes awkward? Yep. But it’s my job as her parent to look out for her well being even if it means the occasional uncomfortable conversation. I’d answer all of those same questions…
Rational risk assessment would include whether there is any benefit to balance the risk. A swimming pool, or trampoline, or jungle gym can be used responsibly by children, typically with supervision. Rationally there is a reward to risk ratio. Given the extreme unlikelihood that a gun could be useful during a playdate…
Actually, I disagree. My kid is 18 now, and her pediatrician talked to both of us about guns every year at her checkup. It did feel weird the first time I asked a parent, but this was in Dallas where almost every one has a gun in their home. I’d say something like, “if you have guns in your home, are they in a safe…
Im pretty sure youre trolling.
Any parent is going to understand the desire for safety for your child. Any parent. Whether or not it’s uncomfortable, any parent worth 2 cents will understand this. Maybe it’s an unenclosed pool and a toddler. An unsupervised trampoline. A car that doesn’t have proper seat belts. Hell, maybe your kid has a deadly…
I personally would rather be weird than my child be dead. I also don’t let my kid ride in a back seat that only has a lap seat belt. I really don’t care what I look like as long as my kid is as safe as I can deem him to be.
It’s not a ‘stranger’, it’s parents of your child’s friend. It’s not asking a ‘stranger’ on the street, it’s asking someone who is going to be entrusted with the actual life of your child.
And that reply reinforces that perhaps they aren’t the most friendly/empathetic type. Not someone I need a kid ‘learning’ from.
“That isn’t any of your business”
Because he is a dick. The women whose images he used, at least, cannot publicly come out and say they are upset by it because Kanye can then whine about how unfair it is and they don’t understand his art and women just bring him down and all that bullshit. Even if Anna tries to ice him out, even people in private in…
Yeah, I saw that all over Twitter last night. I find his selection of people and the execution so disturbing. When the camera just pans over the bodies and there’s no music *shudder* so fucking weird. Cosby next to Caitlyn Jenner... Chris Brown next to Rihanna. His obsession with Taylor Swift is bizarre.
I’d liken it more to revenge porn than to sexual assault but yeah. A woman does something a man doesn’t like, then he circulates video depicting her in bed next to him with her breasts exposed. There’s nothing original, interesting, or transgressive about that.
Boring video for a bad song (swizz beats is a bad producer)
Oh to be a fly on the wall when Famous has to be explained to the Bush clan.
He would not have been required to get permission from any genuine “public figure” (so everyone but Ray J and maybe Amber). I very much doubt he asked Taylor’s permission, or any of the other famous people, any more than Genesis asked the Queen if they could use a puppet version of her in their video 30 years ago.
It’s shitty and exploitative to make and display photorealistic topless images of women without their consent and even worse to go around telling people that they may be images of the actual woman.
