Somewhere out there is a parent who was given the most baffling task and absolutely nailed it.

You just know that megaphone makes fart sounds

You’re so right. Your point deserves a lot more recognition than it got. Don’t shut up, don’t stop what you’re doing.

To be clear, I mean the courts are absolutely failing this child and caretaker by allowing the abuser to have have access to the victim(s)

This article has sooo much being said between the lines.

The mother, Rachel Pickrel-Hawkins, said the reunification therapy by Christine Bassett, a licensed marriage and family therapist, has been harmful, abusive and counterproductive

When the other party is there perpetrator of abuse and the one with power, it very often is detrimental to have some sort of mediation or therapy/counseling. Because the abusers very often are able to manipulate the story so they are the victims in need of most support/compromise/thoughtfulness/time/money/basically ANY conceivable resource in life and relationships they will exploit.

Now I admit I am more familiar with the medical side of things but this entire dynamic gives me pause because it is so psych 101.

Hahahahaha… what a great joke! I’m totally not gonna adopt this reasoning in the future, for the rest of my life.

Like not just cops’ but arent most holsters with saftey features built to be difficult for anyone but the wearer to access smoothly?

I’m not an enthusiast or anything and could be wrong, just an impression I’ve gotten over the years.

Ok you called me out on a very specific flaw and consistent failure of mine! I have some weird wrong pronunciations they can lead then to wrong spelling and it has nothing to do with misunderstanding the context or whatever and just… my brain tends to read the shape of a word and that leads to problems if it isn’t a word I hear often.

Thank you for your kindness and context and I think maybe that will help me not make the mistake in the future! At least after I play the game at least lol

Thank you so much! I will just dive into that after I finish my current game and not worry about needing established lore or backstop. Just started a quickie and unique game called Get even. Gameplay is kinda like the detective line of Detroit become human. Enjoying it so far.

I’ve been hearing about dues ex forever though and I’m ready and looking forward to being able to understand the pop culture references and conversations now. Thanks for the reassurance and confidence

Sorry if I wasn’t clear but that’s my logic and point, yeah. I think maybe it got interpreted the opposite way or I’m tone deaf to your sarcasm or smth

My guess is Walmart will cave, Costco won’t. Target waits to see what happens before making official moves.

What if they are surprised because they were pearl clutching so hard they thought it was gonna be worse?

I see a model who knows how to work a scene

I’m sorry for this topical cheap reply but I genuinely don’t pay attention much to the faces of people because my brain won’t log them, correctly or not at all, anyway. So yeah dude I saw this and like…

Idk if I’ve ever seen a more caricature evil villain IRL Maybe DC (comics) should hit him up

Lol I almost realized too late that DC needed to be specified, either would have worked (some may argue one more rhan the other)

LOL but akshully, I am glad.

I feel like I have better context and foundation understanding of technology and software because I grew up while all of it was rapidly changing. Now everything is stagnant, and technology and software are updating to keep draining the capatism tit of tech and not investing in or even allowing actual innovation anymore. Which was welcome before.

Fuck I miss the old internet. Nothing compares

Before I could drive and had to walk everywhere??? DAILY

Yeah thanks for pointing out something that sort of tickled my brain for a while now and made the thought full formed. I’m going to start pointing this out because it is WILD that we have a culture of saving children from the predators and then also blaming children for being preyed on. And it’s just the one side.

How much hypocrisy can someone swallow ffs???

Yeah they aren’t bad but the nature of this type of thing is largely statistics and self reporting and all sorts of other stuff smarter more scientific, academic minded people could point out than my stoned brain recalls. Things that can be interpreted differently much like translators could translate the same scene between characters with different dialog and undertones.

I mean it isn’t like they are outright disproven or liars or anything… just it is often up for scrutiny because that is the nature of sociology.

Freakonomics talked about this ages ago

Not that they are a proper source or anything just… one of those things where it feels true and you keep seeing examples of it forever

When I see the most depraved defense from lawyers like this it just tells me that the person is so fucking guilty that I now suspect them guilty of even more than we know.

You forgot to flex your kegals. Then claim dehydration.
