Frankly, it was probably cracking and pinging all the way down, even on normal dives. They had steel titanium outer caps on the ends, and carbon fiber in the middle, those two materials stretch and compress very differently under extreme loads.

On Facebook, I saw that my neighbor posted about her friend’s daughter’s cat going to a Trump rally and leaving early because of the smell. This is a 100% true, irrefutable fact, that can and should be quoted on national TV and taken seriously.

Guess what snorting cocaine (or Sudafed) does to your sense of smell?

They could always say that JD is officially on the ticket, but he is going to resign day 1 and let RFK Jr. have the job…

Translated : I don’t know shit, so you can’t know shit. Corporations are gouging my shit, and I mad at Democrats for it.

You got a solution, or anything new to add to the conversation? Or are you just going to whine like everyone else?

Cause frankly, I don’t have a fix for this. At least not one that is overly authoritarian, like controlling every piece of media that is available to children, and creating a guide for what characteristics of different role models should be emulated, and what should be avoided.

Maybe at a certain point, it is up to the individual to form their own set of desirable positive characteristics and seek to incorporate those traits into themselves. We can’t (or really shouldn’t) just thought and content police everything for every child. They have growth and developement that the must do for themselves, no one else can do it for them.

I really have no idea how we fix that on the internet. I guess volunteer for big brothers/big sisters if you can.

Maybe young men should build a role-model construct of good qualities they see rather than idolize a single patriarchal figure and seek to emulate them, including their flaws.

Speaking as someone who was fortunate to have a decent dad, and a decent step dad, who were radically different.

You can make the same claims about FGM. Minor inconsequential medical benefits should not be a defense for removing part of a person’s genitals without consent.

Send me a link and I can get you to ~12 million and 1 listens.

Hmmm. Maybe I need better glasses, but I sure as hell doesn’t look like I said anything about child development there.

You directly compared owning, customizing, and shooting a gun to the way a child would develop the ability to play a musical instrument.

Where?

Cool. I didn’t say anything about child development. Nice looking scarecrow you got there.

If that’s how you want to read in to it, sure. It less about a gun being as safe, or as socially acceptable, and more about the psychological satisfaction granted from striving to perfect your usage of a tool. I could make the same comparisons to carpentry, archery, cooking, go-karting, golfing…etc.

No. They aren’t thinking the potential long term cost of their own actions, let alone the knock-on effects caused by the actions of their unexamined actions.

Some people see gun usage as a sporting activity. Go out and hit some targets, see how fast, or precise you can be, it’s also fun to just blast things. I could easily see a family that shoots together gifting their child an AR pattern rifle after they got used to shooting mom’s or dad’s firearm. It gives them their own platform to customize and practice on, akin to a musical instrument.

That being said, I think it should take a lot more trust, awareness, and scrutiny from the parents, which was clearly missing in this case. This is more like giving the keys for your Dodge Pickup to your teen when they are absolutely hammered.

I don’t want to hold hands. I want to hold criminals accountable.

And the exothermic reaction is really weak. Barely gets warm.

You’re trying too hard.

For me, it wasn’t about swallowing the pill, it was a psychological thing about not chewing. I’d just take a small bite of bread, banana, or other soft food, chew a few times, pop the pill in and then swallow the food with the pill.
