May as well just cut off your ears at this point because a lot of people are going to be very rude to you anywhere you try to spout this shit outside of the Klan rally the commentor mentioned.

Stop worrying about what’s in other people’s pants, you’ll have a much more relaxed life.

It’s not about that one acquaintance, it’s about the time allocation for friends. If someone isn’t going to be able to handle my kids, I’m not going to be able to spend enough time with them to make spending time with them valuable to both of us.

I don’t get someone to cover my kids every week, it’s going to only happen maybe once a month, so I’m going to use that valuable time to invest in the people I’m maintaining closer friendships with.

Having 20 friends you see rarely doesn’t make you happier than having 4 friends you see regularly. If you’re single, you can have 20 friends that you see regularly, but that’s almost impossible as a parent with multiple kids.

Get some resistance bands, they’re fairly cheap and you can do about a thousand different exercises with them.

Because friendships as parents are essentially just that, you have limited time to out into friends so you have to be selective.

Still the prevailing mindset in some less developed countries

They didn’t even name them until they were older because they lost so many early.

I don’t even think they could be legally prosecuted in Canada at that age, let alone placed in a detention facility.

Even if they murdered someone they may just get handed to a mental healthcare situation rather than juvenile detention.

If you don’t want to meet her with the kids, there’s little point in meeting her at all. You aren’t going to be hanging out regularly because she will have kids that need to be tended, so why push.

As a parent, we only hang out with other parents at this point, and generally only those that we have developed a relationship with via kids activities (school, sports, etc) because it’s much easier to maintain that relationship when you see them 2-3 times a week for <insert sport> here, or can schedule a lunch/dinner before or after the mutual <insert kids event> here that you know you will both be attending.

Significant additional fireproofing in homes, and especially in beds.

EKG required for anyone overweight or older than 60 before engaging the services of an escort.

A lot more murders occur and go unsolved due to a lack of evidence.

In addition to the sidewalk issue other have mentioned, I’ve seen these signs in apartment garages for spots where hazards from the ceiling exist. Often the hood of the vehicle fits under the hazard, but the back of a van or a truck with a canopy would hit it.

I would say it’s just someone who is bad at making posters. AI stuff doesn’t tend to look like that.

Other people had already responded with answers that fit the specific question prior to me responding. I was just adding an additional possibility to consider.

You’re saying that people who are old can’t learn or be taught how to use a modern communications tool. Who’s really being ageist here?

My 70 year old father can handle most things on his cellphone with just a few minutes of someone walking him through it.

Also, as of 2023, only 10% of the world population is over 65, so between the fact that there aren’t actually that many old people and some of them definitely CAN operate modern technology, it’s a good solution for most situations.

The statistical chance of that being the case is very low, but in that case sure go find a way to call their landline.

For everyone else, they should try a modern communications tool.

Those are often right.

People frequently aren’t asking the right questions because they are thinking inside a box that doesn’t need to exist.

Sometimes there are legitimate reasons why these options don’t work, but most of the time they are the superior choice.

Sure, but that’s just a dumb way to do it when even in third world countries everyone is rocking at least a basic smartphone.

Both of those first two studies (the third one is not a study) say that there’s actually not a significant harm, especially just for nudity.

Not to mention the fact that they’re both really old (pre-2000) and based on data collected from the 1970s to the 1990s and pre-date home internet access and only from data collected in the US(actually only in 3 cities in California)

I mean, depending on who/why you’re calling, you can just use Discord. Just add someone as a friend and you can message/voice chat directly with them anytime you want. They have a reasonable mobile app in addition to desktop and even browser options.

It’s a major plotline in napoloean dynamite, and it’s the plotline for a side character in legally blonde

I assume you’re old enough to know those movies.

Just get it printed on a shirt.

Along with something funny.

What? who suggested women initiate dating conversations with men they have no interest in?

When I say women should have to approach men, I mean that men should not ask, and women should do the asking if they are interested to avoid any issues with women not wanting to be approached. Why the fuck would it mean anything else?
