Nuebot posted:Also for every adoption success story of a kid finding a loving home, there are two more where a kid bounces from home to home of abuse, or just winds up lost in the lovely system for the aformentioned reasons until they get dumped out as legal adults. The whole "Just put your kids up for adoption!" argument is really kind of awful and doesn't solve the unwanted pregnancy thing at all because not only do you have to go through the pregnancy and give birth to the kid, but now that kid has to grow up knowing their parents didn't want them and possibly get hosed over by the lovely foster home system america has. Some kids don't get bothered by it, others have their lives ruined by it. That applies more to children removed from the birth home, particularly if they're older or disabled. Brand new, healthy babies have a much higher rate of successful placements, and if they're white there's a high demand from adoptive parents. Birth parents can even play a role in selecting who will adopt their baby, and have many of their pregnancy expenses covered. They never go into foster care when they're put up for adoption, custody goes from parent to parent. What you're talking about happens when the state steps in, says "you're a bad parent" and takes the kids, which places them in foster care. It's really two completely different systems. Trivia: do you know children are considered older and harder to place after 6-8, unless they're black males? Then they're considered hard to place at 3-5. Source: being a foster parent

Dude's at the right age to be developing schizophrenia, and he's chosen some favorite schizophrenia-type topics, religion, illuminati... The chopped-up baby dicks are different, I guess. He needs to be on something or off something, whichever the case may be.

Slime posted:The kind of people who'd shake a baby unless they're told it's a bad thing probably shouldn't be having kids anyway. Most of the time it's parents who are at the end of their tether and just snap. It's rarely "gosh, I should shake the baby, that sounds like fun!". Making sure families have support in place and are aware of the dangers would be more effective.

Huntersoninski posted:Well it was written in 1942, so of course its idea of women's roles is all hosed up. The question is why is it still being shared in earnest all these decades later? Was it? It's not C.S. Lewis, someone else wrote it in his style.

Puppy Time posted:Since I am not a scientist: what's the ethical dilemma with being able to remove disease alleles from embryos? I can't see anything but good from that particular act. Part of the problem is that genes are much more complicated than gene A causes syndrome A. Gene A may also be important in many other functions of the body, and we don't fully understand the interrelationships. Snipping the disease allele may cause other bad things to happen, and we don't know until we do it.

belt posted:I must not understand what goes on in women restrooms. I always thought there would be stalls but apparently they all sit in a circle staring at each other's genitals. This is why the protests make no sense to me. Women don't use urinals that are just out there and everyone can see their junk. We use stalls. You don't see anything anyway. I would never know if the person next to me was trans.

EmmyOk posted:Most Irish people loathe plastic paddies tbh Plus those are child coal miners in West Virginia in the turn of the 20th century, photographed by Lewis Hine. They were probably of Welsh descent, but even if they were of Irish descent, they were no more slaves than any other industrial child laborer of the 1910s. ETA: googled the image - man, these Irish slave memes really love Lewis Hine pictures, even though he didn't have any particular interest in the Irish (you can see his entire collection here). He didn't record ethnicity most of the time, except to note recent immigrants. Bonster has a new favorite as of 17:59 on Jun 13, 2016 |

Once again, this is a Lewis Hine picture, this one taken at the Maggioni canning factory in South Carolina in February 1911. No mention of being Irish in any of the slides, or any ethnicity. The girls' names are Josie, Bertha and Sophie. Most children working here were the offspring of immigrants or immigrants themselves. These children were no more slaves than any other industrial worker of the time, of any nationality.

TinTower posted:The key difference between something like BPD and NPD is that people with BPD actually feel remorse for their mental illness causing people to get hurt, and they actively work to mitigate that. Narcissists, well, there is that joke about why the narcissist crossed the road. I "love" how this person demands people enable their behaviors. And they wonder why people run away from them.

Field Mousepad posted:I'd be totally ok with this if it wasn't a piece of canned pineapple just half rear end thrown on top. It takes like 5 minutes to chop up a fresh pineapple. At least grill it or something drat. Sometimes canned works better. It tends to have a mellower, sweeter flavor than fresh pineapple since it's partially cooked when they can it. Fresh pineapple can sometimes overwhelm a dish if it's a good, spritely fruit. I don't know if that's the case here, but it is sometimes.

Henchman of Santa posted:Do the new Nancy strips ever feature her weird hot mom who appeared to be from one of those serious newspaper comics? Yes, her Aunt Fritzi. She predated Nancy as a hot young flapper, then Nancy moved in and became the more popular character. Fritzi Ritz got demoted to Nancy's caregiver. She's shown up in the new Nancy pretty regularly.

That70sHeidi posted:Not being a penis-haver I may be wrong on this, but it's not like a penis is a foot long and you drop trou to piss in a urinal, so a woman would literally have to walk directly next to someone and then stare down to see a penis, right? Y'all have that wide stance going on too, and if there's more than one pisser it's more of a wall of saggy rear end pants than a penis party. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_urinal The Indiana State Fairgrounds used to have women's urinals, where you kind of hover-squatted over them to pee, in stalls with no doors. What you ended up with was women pairing up so one person could stand in the stall door facing out while the other person used the facilities. Total strangers would do this for each other. I was a kid and hated it because I was short and touched the porcelain no matter what I did. It was really awkward and they've since been replaced by conventional toilets.
