My dad basically did the same this to me with math and I turned into a bitter, angry, asshole who hates fun and will probably die of loneliness. I’m sure this kid will turn out fine too.

For him to be 1 person, 200 is a lot. I can’t imagine the amount of time 1 has to spend with another to help reform not only their projected hate but their own self hate that is the core of all their issues.

200 is more than zero. But you don’t care, you don’t want to do the hard thing even though it works. You’d rather continue doing what you’ve been doing because it’s easy, and makes you feel good.

No, it’s a complete thought, and it’s entirely correct. It’s the same basic interaction that’s helped Daryl Davis get 20 KKK members to hang up their robes and disavow their hatred. He’s indirectly responsible for 200 KKK members walking away from their racism.

I’m 35, old enough to not be impressed by someone who starts a discussion with assuming someone’s age or global travel as justification for intelligence. I studied Food Science and I’ve worked in the food industry since college. Sanitary design is a big piece of my background so yes, I find this slick in having the…

Sseriously. Look at the B-sides from that era, they were throwing away great tracks. and now absolute horseshit like ‘Thank God for Girls’ makes it onto an album.

It’s really not. It just feels that way, like one more thing to do before the task is complete.

See above.

Not body-shaming here, but FUPAs on men and women can lead to higher risk for heart attacks. Do some abdomen work at the gym that targets the lower belly... it’s worth it to stay healthy! I’m just saying...

I am an owner of a FUPA, and up until recently just thought it was a place my body liked to store fat, which isn’t completely untrue. However, turns out it’s also caused by bad posture and a lack of reliance on core muscles. This may not seem like a big deal, but the way I found out was by herniating three discs in my…

what kind of magical world do you live in?

he made just so people could be connected to each other and make people happier.

Kind of amazing that the right demonizes objectively great places to live like Europe and California or urban centers in general. Who needs high standards of living and healthcare when you got freedom and guns, i guess.

Why would someone choose the money market account if a high yield savings has a better return?  What other factors are there to consider?

“...nabbing him at his parents’ home where he lives in the basement.”

How taxation is enforced (at least in the US) is draconian. How our tax money is spent, and often wasted, is definitely concerning. But asking that citizens pay into a pot for social services available to said citizens is not inherently evil.

Nah, this seems pretty reasonable.

Kid stole a tip. Kid was caught on security camera. Security footage was posted. Parents returned tip. Video was removed.

Even if the internet is forever, people are going to forget about this after the next thing that happens.

not when she’s the victim, dumbass

Nope. If I was dumb enough to try this shit when I was a kid, my mom would have beat my ass. The kid’s not gonna feel any shame from this, but the parents should and will.
