Yup, that’s what my parents did (9 kids). I’m the oldest, and I don’t remember sleep training or potty training ever being a struggle for them.

Why do white people want to say that word so bad? I’m black, and when I hear my friends from other cultures refer to each other as [insert racial slur of choice here] I have never thought to myself, “Oh, well they said it so I guess I’ll just go around saying it now then”.

La Vics orange sauce sucks. It’s all about Iguanas Burritozilla!!!

I grew up in a remote place in Alaska and my dad carried a sidearm for his job. He had a safe in his truck and one in the house, and the gun was on his belt or in one of the safes, unloaded. He moved it from the truck safe to the house safe when he came home and back again when he came home. We knew we couldn’t hug…

Obviously this person is not in a warzone. I would say that they probably also don’t work for a gun manufacturer or a defense contractor, if I had to guess.

Even then! You could be a programmer for a shooting game and still not obsess over guns. I guess if you work for Remington then yeah you probably talk about guns…

Owning a firearm is a “constitutionally protected right.” However, it is far from unlimited, and is constrained by a variety of hoops. Moreover, it does not give you a right to all firearms and it can very easily be taken away, e.g. certain convictions, certain arrests, some types of restraining orders.

Relationships are between people and individual people may have different likes, tolerances, etc. I’ve been married more than twenty years because I give my wife space to be who she is and she gives me the space to be who I am. Try it some time. It works.

You say kinda kidding, but this shit happens and it’s disgusting. It’s easily preventable by following basic safety rules and the tiniest bit of basic education that all gun owners should be aware of. If you’re referring to an actual case, I hope the parents were convicted of something that prevents them from ever…

Also, “sort of person willing to destroy something” is an extremely ignorant and prejudicial thing to say about someone based on one single factoid about them.

Because if I’m at your house, you have the means to kill me. Remember the Margaret Atwood rule: Men are afraid women will laugh at them; women are afraid men will kill them.

Lying with statistics. “Risk” increases from an infinitesimally small number to...an infinitesimally small number.

Owning guns is not a character flaw.

It’s a rats race there right now. I still go home once a year so my kids can see their grandparents (my parents) but I have no desire to move back.

Eh. The older Irish women in my life typically dismissed it as American nonsense. Sadly that generation has mostly passed on now.

Most of the Irish I know now just consider it a waste of good whiskey.

This is informative and sounds utterly delicious.

Whenever I get the urge to walk over and dump a bucket of water on it, I stop myself.

You’re thinking about Skinema. Totally different service.

So.. sinemia is not a porn service?

Hmm, I think the same thing about MAGA hats.
