  • Both men testified at a hearing in November that they didn’t intend to harass or otherwise target transgender athlete Parker Tirrell

    And the fact that a trans athlete happened to be on the team didn't have anything to do with that decision? I smell bullshit, and I'm glad the judge saw through that single-ply excuse as well.

  • The problem is the institutions and persons that take advantage of people’s faith.

    This is the fundamental reason that religion is a problem in the first place though. Someone starts a religion based on what they believe, they get into a position of authority, and soon they're asking for more from their followers: more money, more resources, more women... Etc, etc.

  • Wouldn't that like...fuck with one's psyche at a fundamental level? You die, a traumatic experience, and then you wake up and you're literally in the "afterlife"? Wouldn't that just be a massive confirmation bias to the individual, despite being entirely fabricated by the people who run this hypothetical program?

    Am I overthinking this?

  • Parent of teenagers here, and I will be the one to tell you how very wrong you are. As they grow, at some point they start to withhold bits of info from you, innocent or not, and they eventually start branching out to do their own thing. And then they move out.

    You can either be supportive (including appropriate discipline) and be there for them when they need you, or you can watch them leave at 18 with a chance of never seeing them again.

    IDK about you, but I choose the former 100%.

  • If you have ever told your kids “You can tell me the truth” and then proceeded to lose your shit when you heard the truth, your kids are NEVER going to be open and honest with you.

    This is one of the things I told myself I would never do, and I've stuck to it. I'm a father of 5, including three daughters. When they started going through puberty, I made it a point to let them know that they can come to me with questions if they wanted to, and that I will never, ever make them feel weird about it. My eldest is 14 now and has held me to that promise.
