This is exactly how meth heads act lol. Throwing around words they think about the argument and rambling.

I tagged you a while ago. Only an idiot would label me as a fascist, because you have deep misunderstanding of the word.

I do live rural so see lots of methed out people. The randomness of your reasoning and arguing with a ghost are both signs of meth use. Either that or mental health issues.

Only an idiot wouldn’t have seen drone warfare coming a decade ago. It’s sad it took you so long to figure it out.

Good parenting my dude. I kept telling myself that repeating the same failing routines was insanity, so I ran experiments on her. Some kids are just soooo difficult.

You remind me of the guy that I bought a boat outdrive from. Several months later he threatened to shoot me if I didn’t forget his address. He didn’t know where i lived but randomly responded to me. Meth head behavior.

This is the one thing my kids did well. First one slept through the night day one. Second took about a year to stay asleep once she was asleep.

And I’m gonna be a hypocrite here. Sleep is a learned behavior which needs to be constantly reinforced. I know parents with super easy kids who never set boundaries around sleep time which caused their kids to be difficult sleepers. Don’t ever allow them to get up after bed time and you’ll suffer a lot less. Our super difficult second kid learned we will only come into the room for short periods to meet her needs during bedtime. We started setting timers of a few minutes to let her learn that we aren’t coming in immediately when she started crying. Saved our sanity and slowly taught her to self sooth. I know it doesn’t work for all kids. But IMO a lot of parents will try to solve issues without the assumption their children can’t learn to tolerate mild inconvenience. It’s a huge cultural issue in the US.

I think it’s easy to dismiss the possibility of this kid existing. I am absolutely not a perfect parent but this kid is literally an asshole. Still love her though.

My wife and I think we are mild abuse victims from this kid. We confirmed it’s hereditary with my MIL. My wife as a child was the same monster this kid is. If you listen to her scream she just purposely eggs herself on. She broke our nanny and almost a dozen daycare people. I always say she has like 3 toddlers worth of personality that she is trying to figure out and only recently she is starting to sort it out.

We tried everything related to colic and nothing changed her. Gripe water with fenel seed sort of worked. Omg im just remembering, hiccups 100% of the time after feedings. She almost never ate more than a ounce of formula. My wife had mastitis which killed milk production. Kid was so noise sensitive that I couldn’t close a car door outside the house while she was napping. She needed a pacifier to sleep but would purposely spit it out. She whale tailed for almost a year. Naps were more stressfull than awake time because she needed to sleep 1.5 hours or she would screem constantly during awake time. We think she also had measles at one point, the hospital didn’t do anything about it even after confirming what it likely was.

Kid broke my brain to the point where I understand where PURPLE crying is needed. My memory and anxiety are only recently recovering.

It’s funny as hell that I live rent-free in your head.

I agree with everything you said and I used to think all kids could be fixed by schedules. But our second child was the antithesis to any of these methods. She screamed for almost 2 years regardless of anything we did. I constantly changed our approach to her to try to find a solution and nothing worked for more than a week. She is only recently getting better now that she can understand us.

We are now the parents that discuss our shopping list while she screams on the floor in the grocery store. Some kids are kinda assholes. Fortunately she’s extremely cute while being an asshole.

It’s not even hard to look this up, or maybe I already have the context having loved the 90s history channel. Vietnam had majority support for the first few years. But it was one of the first conflicts that was widely televised. Americans had never so quickly seen how fucked up war was, so support dropped off quickly. Weapons were also becoming a lot more fucked up during this time as well, adding to the visual horror.

West coast in the US doesn’t really have this problem. I travel for work and it’s fucking insane how much the rest of this country will make crosswalks with no way to reach them.

I guess they and some is complicated for you, dumbass.

I never claimed they should banned, you fucking idiot. You are arguing against an imaginary person. Easy access to guns is objectively stupid.

The storyline is a fascism. Frank thought libertarianism would stop what he was writing about. He didn’t want fascism but wrote about it. The second book is mostly about Paul falling apart and dying. Even though he thought he could follow a perfect path to being a perfect leader.

I personally don’t care much about literary complexity. I find it interesting, and that’s all that matters to me. If you disagree, that’s fine too.

Yeah, but that isn’t why people like it. Like Harry potter and Wizarding world of the transphobe.

It’s likely not ok. But focusing on every source of carcinogen in your life won’t stop you from getting cancer eventually. Eating healthy and using Teflon pans will probably give you a better life than eating like shit on cast iron. No real way to know the future though.

Tritan is a good example of this hyper focus on not consuming bad stuff. It has 3 components, 2 of which imitate estrogen. It’s the plastic that replaced polycarbonate. Which is derived from BPA, but in reality contains very little after you wash it once.

I’d not looked into Frank before now, but I’ve read 2.5 of the dune books. It’s weird to see he was a self described conservative and libertarian. The whole dune story seems to mock everything he stands for politically. It’s like he was completely unaware of the power structures he was writing about exist across all US (and non-US) political parties.

I keep wondering when you will ask what i mean by easy access to guns. Dumb people always take several steps back into their beliefs before fighting back.

Yes. Fascists don’t need to seize guns and have a complicated relationship with them. Nazi Germany is the easiest example. Gun ownership for true Germans and completely disallowed for ‘the other’. It does vary though, which is part of the difficulty in defining fascism and identifying fascists.

I’d argue you are more of a debate lord. Telling me you won’t respond, then making more false stupid statements.

Gun people have sanitized history to support improved sales in the past. Its completely accepted these days that removing guns from a population under fascism is required.

Expanding the argument doesn’t disagree with my point, easy access to guns is stupid. Never disagreed with mental health or education. Stupid people tend to imagine who they are arguing against, which is why you imagined i disagreed with you on those points.
