If he raped children, then continuing to listen to his back catalog is tactic support of that behavior.
Well, I’m glad one rape survivor can tell the rest of society how we should react to the abuser.
That depends.
Good.
Why?
Exactly.
Cut it out.
I won’t be watching, just as I didn’t watch Surviving R. Kelly - and for the same reason. I know everything I need to know about these two men, what they did, and who they victimized. I don’t need to delve any deeper into the depravity.
Don't know if I can watch this but I hope the inexplicable number of people still out there defending him do
Kids in the past were allowed to get hurt and realize that touching the metaphorical hot stove is bad news — because the parents figured they’d come out of it okay.
We coddle too much. On long car trips we used to crawl into the back of the car and all around the car without seatbelts. My dad was usually drinking beer out of the cooler the whole drive. I used to do a lot of coke, and some meth and dabbled with heroin. I have come out of a blackout on a stolen motorcycle in a…
Hey, I hear it, and I let my kids do semi-dangerous stuff too, because in the end you’re right - can’t protect them from everything and life has to be lived. But a pediatrician friend of mine once displayed a cervical x-ray from a nine-year-old patient who was now a quadruplegic thanks to a bad trampoline bounce, so…
Relies a lot on anecdata as well (“here is how often my kid uses a trampoline”) and states many, many times that the statistics aren’t really there that we need to properly assess risk.
You are the second person to bring this up. Find me unbiased statistics and I will in fact use them. UNBIASED. Nothing about “omg they’re so dangerous.” Something scientifically researched. (And none of that “go google it yourself” shit. Not only have I briefly tried, but you’re the one complaining, you do it.)
By that same logic, the kids that these doctors are seeing with these injuries are also victims of the same bias - the ONLY see the kids that get hurt, not the thousands of others who don’t.
I doubt there are good and unbiased statistics on how many families own trampolines vs. how many own trampolines and suffer an injury related to them to someone in the family vs. how many own them, have an injury, and that injury is lethal. All the articles I’m seeing on trampoline risk are scaremongering “omg protect…
Have you ever heard of survivorship bias?
I think this is an effect of the overall good phenomenon that we are preserving human life very well. Nowadays, odds are your kids aren’t going to die to random shit like measles (unless you’re an idiot antivaxxer), or just to hunger, if you live in a first world country. So every life is treated as sacred, when in…
Admittedly, my Spanish is a little rusty but I don’t think that’s actually an accurate translation. I think it means more “The only thing that’s important is who you are on the inside”, meaning if you’re a good person and have a good heart, then nothing else matters.
