In my world, raising kids is a choice that may involve sacrifices. I see parenting as a full time job. If you enjoy working, work. If you enjoy raising kids, raise kids. You literally can’t do both simultaneously so people outsource a lot of the “raising” part and do other things with their time like work. It’s not a…

Well, we’ve limited the population we’re discussing to the parents that have the freedom to choose. They’re essentially saying, “Look, I could have raised you myself, but I didn’t want to.” In my opinion that’s selfish, and to some extent irrational. Obviously there are a million confounding factors, but I don’t…

You said

Don’t be an ass. You already gave a thoughtful response and i appreciated it. But now you have to jump in with an absolutely stale comment that adds nothing. Maybe now they’ll let you sit at the cool kids table.

You know that’s not the argument I’m making. There’s a substantial benefit to having individuals with a Master’s degree teach your children very specific topics. On the other hand, I believe a mom will be more responsive to a young child’s physical and emotional development than a daycare worker is likely to be.

I’m totally leaving aside elder care. That’s very often a matter of failing health and requires professional attention as you noted.

I think Jalopnik was single-handedly responsible for the corvette coming in at $60K. What do you think you can pressure Audi down to? 35k?

I can’t imagine it will work out well to antagonize the group of people that are getting ready to edit together a story about you based on a small selection from hours of footage.

Jeffrey Epstein. They don’t want to be in the middle of a huge expensive extravaganza when news breaks of how deeply their founder and possibly the company was part of Epstein’s pipleline.

I think the most important qualification is that you are good at dramatic pauses.

Wow, the replies to this review are not at all reinforcing the general stereotype of over-built luxury truck owners being highly defensive about their choices.

Now that I’ve spent ten years in jail I’ve learned to never accidentally kill my children again!

What trade off would you make to never have to wipe (your butt) again?

These annoying P.R. hacks or communications departments or whomever puts this garbage out. “Oh we’ll be so clever, they’ll never realize we actually coughed up 140,000 ssns if we phrase it this way!” *high fives and re-applys some axe body spray*

Star for username synergy!

The article quotes the head of product planning for compact AMGs, Bastian Bogenschutz, who describes how new laws have forced automakers to resort to sound augmentation:

So a hamburger is also a sandwich?

I think it could be a fun change and at least worth a shot. Hockey benefits from allowing players to work hard and take breaks on the bench. Forcing basketball players to recover during play and while transitioning to the other end of the court obviously slows the game down. I think the substitution restrictions in…

And the added joy of all the tough guys speculating about how they would have dealt with that particular asshole. In this case, vandalizing the car, burning it, or having it towed.

I find it somewhat amusing that breaststroke is literally the slowest way to competitively swim and then they DQ someone for possibly getting this slight advantage. Man breaststrokers are really serious about swimming slowly!
