That thread is from a gay person who kept getting harassed for various things after coming out.

Some of you are such repugnant pricks.

Calm down dad

[Jenkem]

Don't stop, never give up
Hold your head high and reach the top

Typical "bootstraps" argument, reinforces white privilege

Let the world see what you have got
Bring it all back to you

Ahh yes the world is there only to serve your privilege...

Hold on to what you try to be
Your individuality

Literally "fuck you, got mine"

When the world is on your shoulders
Just smile and let it go

world on your shoulders, like ATLAS.. "let it go" SHRUGGED... yikes, I can see where this is going

If people try to put you down
Just walk on by don't turn around
You only have to answer to yourself

What the fuck exactly is this? Ahh yes marginalized people, just ignore the bigots! Fascist shit...

Don't you know it's true what they say
That life, it ain't easy

"life ain't easy" is basically victim blaming for those of us who live in a constant state of fear

But your time's coming around
So don't you stop tryin'

Well.. this pretty much speaks for itself.

Holy shit there are a few more choice lines in the rest of the song but I am too fucking furious to continue.. it's no wonder there are alt-right shitheads around every corner when they were fed this kind of shit as impressionable kids. Holy shit. It wouldn't surprise me if a majority of S Club 7 are Tories or voted for Brexit.

Personally I think it's rather ridiculous to mock someone for interpreting a song in an interesting manner, but you do you. Have you ever thought that maybe he has a point?

I have no intention in teaching or enforcing lies in my future child's mind. Convincing a child that magic is actually real is a detriment to the early development of critical thinking in developing brain.
It's much healthier to make believe/pretend that Santa is real. Playing that Santa is real, not actually upholding a lie. If at a young age their mind is taught that illogical things are acceptable, that can have negative effect on how the assess other truths from fiction in their future. I don't want my child to walk through life thinking that anything is possible. That is how to get conned, duped and taken advantage of.

NUKE DISNEY

[PogiJones]

 

But for real, I mostly agree with you, although with a less cynical outlook on kids.

The approach I took was not debunking Santa, but also not saying he was real. I let him get his Santa-ness through osmosis with the culture, then when he asked me, I told him Santa is a real role, that Saint Nick was real, and that while he died, Santa carried on and now there are many Santas. Then I asked my son if he wanted to be someone's Santa, and he did, so we dressed him up and he snuck a present into his friend's home (with the parents' permission, of course). He loved it, and I never lied to him. It worked out great.

[PogiJones]

For me it's a matter of trust. I was bugged that my parents had lied to me, and I know a bunch of other people who also felt betrayed. Trust for me is paramount, so I needed to find a way for him to enjoy the magic of youth without actually taking it as a blow to his trust in me (and just a blow to his happiness) when he discovered the truth. So I found a way to make it all work.

[Transhuman]

Then I asked my son if he wanted to be someone's Santa, and he did, so we dressed him up and he snuck a present into his friend's home (with the parents' permission, of course). He loved it, and I never lied to him. It worked out great.

Yeah i'd be too lazy for all that. Laziness is my real motivation behind hating Christmas. A picture with a mall Santa is what, $20? Fuck that.

And lol at the "I mean", it's not intentional. May as well start my sentences with "Well...". I guess it's my subconscious way of being self-effacing. They say you're not supposed to start a sentence with "and" either.

There's nothing inherently progressive about empathy or nuance. They have blind spots just like anybody else, and let their ignorance dictate what rights they feel people should have, just like everybody else.

They're progressive because they are anti-conservative. That's as far as that label is useful.

[Transhuman]

Habitual drunk drivers at some point should have their license suspended permanently. It's not about forgiveness it's about taking weapons away from people on drugs.

[OnlyRegret]

Definitely, driving isn't a right. A multi-ton metal monster with ease of 100+ km/h is quite the weapon.
Then again, I'm also in favour of well developed public transport infrastructure.

A punishment fitting the crime doesn't mean a punishment equal to if the worst case of your risky behavior had happened.

Speeding kills people. Running red lights kills people. Cutting people off kills people.

Yet I think we would all agree that a prison sentence instead of a speeding ticket is way over the line.

But drunk driving is way more risky than any of the above. It kills tons of people, often by doing the above infractions. So it should carry a heavier penalty than going 10 over on the freeway, even though both actions kill people on a societal level.

I do think texting should be treated just as harshly as a DUI, though. But enforcement is an issue. There are other mitigating factors as well.

It's a nuanced topic that needs to take in both the gravity of the action as well as rehabilitation and costs.

And as always, RE is woefully unequipped to handle anything with nuance.

My state just made interlock devices mandatory after a first DUI offense, my state was incredibly punitive until recently backing off on that part since it wasn’t acting as an effective deterant and instead moved to prevent people from even being able to operate the vehicle if they are drunk.  We still have heavy fines and possible jail time but I’m happy they moved to actually prevent the issue instead of just punishing the behavior.

[PogiJones]

Yeah, prevention through deterrence is pretty questionable when a primary feature of alcohol is judgment inhibition. It should still be there to some level, but yeah, I think deterrence mostly only really works for DUIs by proxy, as friends don't want their drunk buddies arrested. Prevention through mechanical impossibility is definitely the way to go where possible.

No idea. We had already broken up when this happened, so I didn't get every detail.

All I know is, she took a turn too fast, knocked down a light pole and ended up on another car. Ultimately totaled her leased car, which apparently didn't have proper insurance so she owes the dealership like 20 grand.
