Almost every GOP/Nazi political speech or discussion I’ve ever heard usually goes like this: black is white, up is down, and cold is hot. Also if there’s a problem it’s Hillary’s or Obama’s or Bush’s, or the Democrats’ or the GOP, or the NRA, or the media’s fault. Any questions?

My coworker has 5 on his machine. Two docks driving two monitors each, plus the laptop display.

Even not traveling, people here (US) carry more things than that-a pocket knife or multitool, your keys, glasses, USB thumbdrive, pepper spray, small flashlight, and maybe a handgun and an extra magazine. Most of those things you won’t need (or can’t have) in Japan.

pot can be a lifesaver and an effective tool for many people. For example: patients going through cancer treatments, patients who need pain management, epileptic persons, etc. etc.

ol no it’s fucking not. Unless they’re doing something blatantly harmful to their health...

If you were my kid, I’d spank you.

I support our troops, but they’re not dying to protect our freedom. No country is a threat to our way of life here. Our troops are dying to advance a political agenda set forth by our government. We have a dwindling set of freedoms here, and there are areas where other countries enjoy more freedom than we do. If you…

This has huge privacy implications for everyone.

Uhhhh...that horse left the barn years ago. And apparently the answer is still “yes.”

Or, you could actually be a parent and not give a shit about why the little rat might not want to talk about his/her day and ask anyway. If those little whiners think that school is stressful, wait until they get jobs and become parents. Get off my lawn.

What was the verbal statement, in English, which was the lie, specifically?

A person’t ability to understand how and when to act certain ways is largely developed when they are kids. Apparently, not everyone gets that. There’s every reason a child should be taught to ask questions to see if he misunderstood, and to bring classroom issues to his parents to be addressed through the school’s…

These bits of advice rest on the idea that children have minds developed enough for understanding, reasoning, empathy, and logical thinking, and that they have control enough to use these tools - all of which they largely do not. Getting your kid to behave or to do something shouldn’t be treated as a negotiation. If…

Kids and people in general should also learn that there is a right way to deal with their grievances. In some cases, calling someone out as a liar is the right thing. A kid doing that is not.

How, specifically?

MRA-adjacent?

No. There is a right way to criticize a teacher, and telling them to “go fuck themself” isn’t it. The kid needs to take his grievances home. The parents can address it through the administration.

Maybe he didn’t lie.

A 9 year old kid should have been brought up to know not to call an adult a liar. He should know enough to not say “blah blah blah, I only wanted to hear you not talking.” That’s completely rude and disrespectful. There are other, better ways to disagree with your teacher. This speaks more to his parenting than…

I’d add to your list to look for a car which depreciates at a slower rate than other cars. For example, Toyota Tacomas have a very low rate of depreciation, compared to other cars. I’ve seen people buy new ones, drive them for two years, and then sell them privately for not too much less than they spent new.
