  • Even with my youngest (5), I would always use the bathroom early and check to see if they had a changing station prior to him potentially pooping himself. The majority of the time there was, but the times there wasn't was often enough to make it worth checking. Only if my wife was with us, though, otherwise it was a roll of the dice.

  • It wasn't just people making money, it was that the money changers and the temple were working together to fleece the devout who were coming from far away to show their faith.

    It's not like if somebody had a for-profit Cafe inside a church, it's more like the televangelist that use other peoples' devotion to get rich, saying you have to pay more and more to get into heaven.

  • Those who live outside of the US, what's something Americans aren't ready to hear?

  • A lot of people hate on Sword Art Online, but in the second season...

    When Yukio dies, and the last thing she sees is the all the players flying overhead in tribute to her... I was already crying, but that left me ugly crying. It hit real hard, way harder than I expected.

  • What is a human behaviour you've never understood?

  • If you're enjoying your time, it's not a waste.

  • Faith-based cost-sharing seemed like an alternative to health insurance, until the childbirth bills arrived

    Jump

  • Yeah, but then non-religious people would have access to it.

  • For some context, I am in the military and will be retiring in five years at the age of 47. So I won't need to work, but I want to find fun work that I want to do after. I think I'm the type that will wither and die within a year of retiring from any work. I'm not self-motivated enough to create work for myself, and I need to be doing something or I'll sleep 18 hours a day and feel useless the rest of the time. I need a schedule, and I need someone else to make it.

  • Honestly, that sounds like some refreshing fun. Have the cook with a big grill out front, and putting in the order is just chatting with them.

    "Hey, bud, you want a burger, hot dog, steak, or some of this brisket I been smoking since this morning? Want something to drink? There's beer and soda in the cooler, or we got tap water. The little cooler has juice for the little'uns."

    And then have a cashier keep track of what they had, conveyor-belt sushi style. The cook chats with whoever is standing around drinking a beer with them (and is drinking beers or soda or whatever all shift), and everything gets served on paper plates. And the tables are all those wooden picnic tables with cheap plastic tablecloths.

    And those who are eating there are encouraged to stand around and chat with other people as well (if they want). Just make the whole thing like a backyard barbecue with your neighbor Hank.

    And hire nothing but retired men and women working part time as the cooks. Nothing but grill daddies and mommies, working just for some extra cash and the fun of barbecuing. I would take that job when I retired in an instant.

    Edit: better yet, make it habachi-style, where there's a grill daddy/mommy for every group or two, set up like a park barbecue. I love this and want to go to one or work at one now.

  • And honestly, that present two days a year is a drop in the bucket of debt if you're already dealing with debt.

    I'm not saying putting yourself in $3k of credit card debt to take your kids to Disneyland is totally worth it, but if you're several thousand in debt and scraping, that ~$100 present twice a year won't be the thing that breaks you, and is worth cutting costs elsewhere on a regular basis.

  • Yeah, one of the most infuriating things, that we have to find ways for the people who caused the problem to profit from fixing it to get anything accomplished.

    We call him Maus for short. But he does look like a little bat dog.

  • How is it that we discover bones of a large flying creature, and first thought is "it looks mammalian, like a flying possum!" And then "nah, that's ridiculous. It was a flying reptile! Like a DRAGON!"

    Large flying creature, and nobody thinks giant bird? Really?

    Your partner is accused of corruption, would you ever be able to see them the same way again?

    Jump

  • Oh, well that sounds completely outside the law and completely immoral. I can't believe that judgement stood, since it was so obviously wrong.

  • I'm very confused, though. If there is an age of consent, and anything below that age is rape, then why is there a charge for "sex with a minor," a supposedly lighter charge? It seems like the law does distinguish between forcible and statutory rape (though in cases of children it shouldn't) and your husband leaned toward the latter.

    To be clear, I am not arguing that getting a lighter sentence or believing a 12-year-old can consent to sex with an adult is anything but rape. I'm just stating that your country may have a legal separation between the two that your husband might have followed and still been within the law.

    That is if I'm reading what you've written correctly.

  • What's the most manipulative thing you've ever done?

  • In this case it's "morale."

  • Because they're not disabled. What are you even talking about?

    That's like supporting some racist segragationist bullshit by saying "well, can't black people just use disabled bathrooms? They're a small portion of the population."

    See how ridiculous that sounds? It's not disparaging to disabled people to point out how inappropriate that is. You're just making life harder for disabled people to feed some asshole's bigotry.

  • Yes, Republicans who vowed retribution are now admitting Project 2025 is real

  • Unless he was diagnosed as a pathological liar, they should not. Not that he isn't, because he is, but as a news organization they should only provide the facts, quotes, and unbiased contextual information. That is what we should expect from the news. It should not be "left-leaning" or "right-leaning," because they shouldn't tell us what we should think about what they are reporting.

    They should report that some of his former (and possibly current, if it's accurate) aids and expected cabinet members wrote, participated, or supported Project 2025. They should report what Trump's response was when asked about it, as well as including the factual context of how many people directly surrounding him that were openly involved (to give the lie to him "not knowing").

    We need news to stop giving opinion. Period. They should strive to be as unbiased as possible, including reporting on events based on newsworthy-ness, not trying to be "fair" to the candidates by reporting on both in an equally negative way regardless of the severity of their respective news (e.g. Obama's tan suit vs. Trump's children in cages.)
