wait are you saying that if an otherwise smart kid had a depressive episode in high school but was doing okay now (through medication, therapy, whatever), they should be denied admission to an academic institution solely because of their mental health issues in the past?

I really hope we start getting away from this trend of relying on BMI to “determine” health.

If you leave a firearm where a kid can easily get it, you are the bad guy with the gun.

It’s LOSE not “loose”!

Lose*

I thought you’re not supposed to put refrigeration units on their side like that...all the boxes say “keep upright”

Melanie, This is one of those ideas that actually sucks. As most people will leave the coolant in the fridge and sooner or later it will leak. Besides, it may still have a child suffocation risk, if the lid is heavy enough.

What is it with DIY’ers and pallets. There’s a reason they’re in the trash.

I’m a dude, but I’m also not so overly-defensive that I think that meme is referring to me in any way. It’s stating the simple fact that women have always had more to fear from rejecting men than vice verse, not that that result is ALWAYS going to happen.

seems to imply that all men are capable of killing a woman in the event of rejection.

And will it never cease to be the truth that men will inevitably post on the comment section a version of #whataboutthemenz ?

A good start would be when you hear someone try to explain their fears, you don’t whimper about how that’s an unfair generalization.

Well, they’ve tried curbing date rape through ads saying “Hey bros, keep an eye on your bro, JUST IN CASE he’s a creeper”. But then people like yourself come out of the woodwork screaming about “WOW NOT EVERY MAN IS A DATE RAPIST WHY DO YOU HATE MEN?!?!?!”.

Holy fuck, the mental gymnastics you have to go through to make this about you are amazing. It’s like looking at a schizophrenic’s journal.

No, the point of the quotation is the worst case scenario for each gender. When first dating someone not otherwise connected to a friend/work/school, a lot of women tell their friends where they’re going and with whom just in case they disappear. I don’t know of any guys to whom this has occurred as a problem.

Here’s a REALLY simple rule of thumb.

Get lost you MRA troll

A former girlfriend told the Wisconsin State Journal that O’Kroley had tried to commit suicide in 2014, and that he has been seriously mentally ill for the past decade.

This could be dangerous. A small child could get inside, then be unable to lift the lid; he’d suffocate quickly.

Kayden had a service dog specifically trained to redirect him during self-injurous behaviours and meltdowns, so I’m wondering about that whole “attacking them with a knife” thing. A cynical part of me thinks they might have shot the dog and then Kayden when he reacted to that.
