I think pressing the limits of the human body is inherently abusive. And it is incredibly difficult to push your body day-in-day out without a team who keeps you on track and motivates you when your mind is revolting against your body. I think there are more humane methods and more safeguards that can be put in place…

A lot of it depends on the interpretation at the time and community custom. In Las Vegas it was a lot more anti-caffeine in practice than it was in Southern Utah where my family is from. Mornomns are really no different than any other religious sect with some more orthodox than others. My grandma was considered a…

I do feel this, I’m at a loss at how to intervene that isn’t just a constant negative onslaught for my preschool aged boy. I had 4 girls before him and I never had to do this level of intervening to stop violent/aggressive play. I want to be all, kids are blank slates, but seriously this kid has absorbed too much of…

This is so accurate. Why do teen boys smell so nasty. I hated it when I was a teen and then my brothers were teens. So f-ing gross. I have never smelled a girl who smelled like that no matter how athletic.

It means you can’t have an abortion, ever. That is what it means.

I’ll forever die on the hill of all things parents do for experiences prior to age 3 are for the pleasure of the parents. And I also think that is ok. I took all of my kids to Disneyland before they were 3. The magic on their faces was worth it even if they don’t have a memory of it. It wasn’t for their long term…

I think this is the key. I have 4 girls followed by 2 boys. My 2 boys are preschool aged but still they are seeped in the culture that reinforces the patriarchy in obvious and subconscious ways. I never really worried too much about this for my girls being free to be super girly but also play with trucks or other…

TBH this is how I like to eat pork chops. I mean I use a for and knife but if there are leftovers in the fridge I totally eat it caveman style just like that. I think at the fair you cannot use utensils. It’s like a law.

This is a bit of an alarmist take IMO. Humans shed a lot of viruses. We are virus covered disgusting blobs of flesh and blood. We don’t prescribe (or have really targeted any) antivirals for most common, generally non-life threatening viruses. You are very much more likely to die from the flu than from herpes yet we…

If you have a broken leg in Canada you get same day treatment, just like here. Source... friend’s daughter broke her ankle in BC and got it casted and set the same day.

Effectual at what? Comprising values for the people he represents?

The whole fucking thing was moderated from a Republican perspective, not a Democrat perspective... which uh... the primary should be about what Democrats are weighing not the Republican framing.

You obviously know very little about how legal negligence works. Tragic mistakes happen frequently: behind the wheel of a car, in medicine, in all sorts of caregiving, aviation, law enforcement, the list goes on and on. In nearly every case it is not criminal negligence even if a person dies or gets injured as a…

It seems like we already know what the risks are. The risks are being alive with a car and a baby. Throw in some change in routine. What is our solution going to be against the parents here? Chastise them for not sleeping enough with an infant at home? Chastise them for having dad drop the kids of at daycare rather…

There is a whole lot of meth on that side of the river too.

How often does the ground freeze in the UK? Where are your pipes? Furnace? My vision of the UK is y’all have small houses and you put all that stuff inside? Eeek.

Like is that the worst or would Alabama be worse? I’m thinking Idaho is def the worst.But I think the west just in general has a lot of meth. I’ve lived in WA, OR, and NV and have family in UT, ID, MT and CO... there’s a lot of meth.

Are we talking Portland metro or Portland proper. Because the metro has a lot of methy places... Milwaukie, Oregon City, Canby, Forest Grove, Gresham, Troutdale, Fairview, Cornelius, Banks, North Plains, Damascus, some parts of Beaverton and Hillsboro. Also like the homeless encampments in Portland... are like a fine…

Win!

Oh please. She does not *have* to be tried. Prosecutors have the discretion to not try her for this. They make this choice. And they are the scum of the earth for it.
