Something about this poo poo bothers me. Maybe it's the fact that the parents didn't anchor a 100lb dresser. Maybe it's that they didn't hear the dresser fall over. Or the surely two solid minutes of crying and screaming. Another thing, the gently caress are these dumbass parents doing shutting the door on a room with twin 2 year olds inside it?

And after that, they're still dumb enough to post the video on the internet. Nothing like making family service's job easier when the video shows up on one of their facebook feeds today. "HEROIC BABBY SAVES BRO" or whatever the clickbait will read. Can't really blame it on the manufacturer, I'm sure Ikea has seen to that with all sorts of warnings on the box and directions after their babycrushers caught wind a while back. They even sent techs out to build and anchor dressers for free.

I'm sure they're decent parents. I know I was raised in shadier situations (who the gently caress lets their kids play in full grain hoppers? Everyone in my family). But goddamn, if this doesn't wind up with those kids in foster care, I'd be surprised.

Yeah, this made me cringe so much. You do NOT leave two toddlers alone like that in a room. It's Darwinism in action, and those two don't deserve it. That little infant is so lucky he has a twin that helped him.

loving idiot parents....I gotta go hug my 4 year old now.

Yup. In fact: I had drill scheduled this weekend. Commander just excused everyone due to the incoming storm. Which probably won't do anything.

My 30 year old car didn't blink during Snowmageddon, decent all weathers and locking diffs crawling along the backroads got me home.

Because we deferred maintenance and stretched deployments so often over the past 10 years that it's biting us in the rear end and we don't have enough carriers for the next few years to maintain our usual operations.

We have 10 active carriers, and 2 under construction, and 1 more planned. Even if half of them went to drydock, we'd still have more than any other Nation currently in operation.

Well, take heart that if we've learned anything from Russia, its that they are not very good at planning long distance Naval operations yet, considering they nearly ran their carrier heading to Syria out of fuel.

Yeah, it took a pilot to go the extra mile and pull that one off.

Hasn't that carrier also experienced a rash of aircraft accidents during Syria operations? Like, not only did they get denied fuel by Spain, their operations are not going well.
Had at least two aircraft crashes in less than 3 weeks.

He's a good neurosurgeon but likes claiming a lot of accolade for himself that were actually done and executed by a large team.

That's before you get to his hypocrisy on government funded higher education that he benefitted from, but wants to deny to all others, and his creationist views that would make Ken Ham smile.
