Yeah, I understand what you meant, but the reason these discussions get ugly fast is because of that kind of tabloid "THE GOVERNMENT wants your RAPIST to have a right to YOUR BABY" presenting of the situation.

Some hardcore redpill MRAs seriously think that the father should be able to decide whether or not a pregnancy should be aborted.

It's exactly as bad as it sounds.

They also argue that the father should be able to veto the mother's decision to have an abortion. Which is also pretty disturbing.

Just found out my great uncle died and so it has came to pass that the last one of his generation in our family is gone. At least he published a book on his experiences on WW2 in Iwo Jima and other places in and around Japan including getting malaria and having a pet monkey while stationed in the Philippines after his malaria days. Dude was awesome.

Aww man, sorry dude that sucks. Im really close with my great aunt and uncle and I dread the day I lose them. Your uncle sounds like he was a cool dude. Mine is too, he worked on the US space program from the beginning until the late 80s and hes one of the smartest guys I know.

My 4 1/2 yr old son occasionally tries screaming as a way of getting his way, lots of kids do this. Spontaneously this evening my wife and I replied by screaming and roaring like dinosaurs, my 18 month old daughter joined in and stalked around the living room roaring with me. :3:

When we stopped he was sitting there sulking with his bottom lip hanging out and arms crossed, apparently he didn't like not being the centre of attention, or the loudest thing around. My daughter loved it and carried on roaring and stalking around for a while longer.

I did that with my daughter (now 12), too. Actually, she's 13 on Thursday, eek!

Quick note to people with expandable towing mirrors on trucks, at least in California:

No trailer? FOLD THEM THE gently caress IN.

There's nothing like having plenty of room to split, but having to duck around these loving shits because they stick out two goddamn feet. Even if you move over a bit for me, I still have to hope the guy in the other lane is far enough that I can be right on the line, otherwise I'm ducking and dodging your goddamn crutch mirror.

Edit: also if any of you live in Oceanside and know a guy with an FC RX7 that kind of looks like STR but uglier, tell him to go gently caress himself. Saturday morning this guy didn't like that I was passing him, so he waited till I got next to his car, then gunned it and swerved at me while laughing. Hope he likes the dent in his quarter from that exchange.

Had a big reply typed. Couldn't be bothered.

All I can say is part of being a parent is getting used to The Judging Eyes. Doubly so if your child is at all different. Nothing like having a child called spoiled or receiving some unwanted free parenting advice when the child is having a meltdown over the noise level, the number of people, unfamiliar environment or has become fixated on an object.

Goddamnit, like everything else this all leads to yet another dark place. gently caress me. gently caress this. gently caress everything. Seriously.

So I think I offended my coworker.

He owns a BMW 3 series and he was complaining about how the dealer wanted almost $500 to fix the windshield washer pump. We started talking more about his car and he said he loved it but he didn't know anything about cars, he wanted to just get into a car and drive it, and how he plans to dump it after 70k miles because of some sort of transmission belt (I have no idea what he's talking about).

I told him he probably shouldn't be driving anything German because they're not the most reliable cars and maintenance can be costly. He said he had to make some phone calls and walked away.

Oops.

I was at my local Kroger colony today and impulse bought a Hot Wheels car to throw in with my secret santa gift. I normally self-checkout but the line was long so I went to a regular checkout. The clerk asked me "Shall I bag this up or would you like me to leave it out for you to play with on your ride home?" I said: "Thanks man, no bag - that IS my ride home." There was an overweight old man behind me who started guffawing, then laughing really loud, like a literal "HAW HAW HAW," and he reached out to brace himself while he held his gut laughing, and fell and hit his head on the edge of the conveyor belt on the check out counter before falling backwards into the rack of tabloids and candy. He was bleeding from the mouth and I was worried his organs were finally giving up until I saw the teeth on the floor. I hope you're happy, Secret Santee - someone paid full price in flesh for your gift.
