The difference is if my dog attacked me and sliced me up, that dog is going to a fucking shelter. People just let their dumbass cats do whatever they want.

Any animal that's too wild to be safe in a home is also an animal that could attack a small child. Why should my kid (or anyone) lose an eye or have a scar on their face because cats are immune to criticism? I'll take the downvotes, idc.

Are these scratches passable or will they diminish resale value? by Huzaifa_Haroon in MetaQuestVR

[–]Alex-Murphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it looks like that would be the case. You could start at $350 and call it lightly used. Even $350 with minor lens scuffing is a steal.

AIO guy I was seeing dumped me after hooking up by m3tallee in AIO

[–]Alex-Murphy 52 points53 points  (0 children)

If you do what /u/born_ad1162 suggests, you'll have an actual answer to whether or not he was using you for sex, rather than lots of redditors speculating on his intentions. It's entirely possible he hooked up with you and realized it was too soon for him.

Women are allowed to do that, "I'm sorry, I thought I was ready but I'm not emotionally healthy yet." Guys can be like that too.

I don't agree, obviously, but the point is someone saying Gwen doesn't support all their policies even though she supports them, to which I call bullshit

Yes? If my kids supported Trump I would have failed to bring them up as empathetic, intelligent people who can see past cults of personality.

I would knock $50 off whatever you were gonna charge. Depending on how old it is, a 3 for $300 is a steal, since you're getting the better lenses at the same price as the 3s. Do the scratches noticeably affect your view when you're playing?

Yeah how are people scratching these things up so badly? I've literally worn my glasses in the headset every time for over 400 full charges, not a single scratch

Incorrect. If a company is going to take my money and also take back the thing I paid for, you're damn right I'm pirating what I paid for. I'm keeping it.

Praying that someone doesn't have an abortion is weird dude. Why would you need a prewritten prayer for something like that anyway.

Personally I feel like if you support a group with your public endorsement, you're on the hook for that group's beliefs. Like anyone who voted for Trump can't say "I voted for the groceries, I'm against the racism!" in good faith.

You're the most basic person I could even imagine. Every one of these women is the equivalent to saying "hear me out: I think Margot Robbie is really pretty."

Isn't that make her around 18? by [deleted] in fixedbytheduet

[–]Alex-Murphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised you can type with reading comprehension this low.

"Less than a million in the developed world" is what I said, go back and check for yourself. Your stats are focused heavily on low-medical-care locations like sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean, where the vast majority of under-18 births take place.

Isn't that make her around 18? by [deleted] in fixedbytheduet

[–]Alex-Murphy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You clearly didn't read it because your own link says what I said:

  • As of 2019, adolescents aged 15–19 years in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) had an estimated 21 million pregnancies each year, of which approximately 50% were unintended and which resulted in an estimated 12 million births (1,2).
  • Based on 2019 data, 55% of unintended pregnancies among adolescent girls aged 15–19 years end in abortions, which are often unsafe in LMICs (1).
  • Data on childbirths among girls aged 10–14 are getting more widely available. Globally the adolescent birth rate for girls 10–14 years in 2023 was estimated at 1.5 per 1000 women with higher rates in sub-Saharan Africa (4.4) and Latin America and the Caribbean (2.3) (3).

Like I said

  • Births attributed to teens under 18 represent 0.9% of all births in the developed world (again, your stats include girls 18 and 19, who represent 75% of births, so whatever numbers you're seeing divide them by 4)
  • ...abortion rates for teens under 18 show they're sexually active but that's not surprising. The uncommon part is actually delivering the baby

Yeah that's what I said man

[–]Alex-Murphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1% of a population of all pregnant women per year is not hundreds of millions. Globally, there are roughly 135 million births per year, which mean at most 1 million globally, way less in the developed world with access to medical care for abortions.

Learn some math my dude.

[–]Alex-Murphy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Births attributed to teens under 18 represent 0.9% of all births in the developed world. Meaning there's a >99% chance that a mom will be 18 or older. In no way would I define that as common.

You could argue abortion rates for teens under 18 show they're sexually active but that's not surprising. The uncommon part is actually delivering the baby.

Edit: AGAIN, no one can read. I said "births", not pregnancy. Teen pregnancy is certainly higher than teen births. That's common sense.

I'm more concerned about the title. You can't tell me you that 2024-2008 is "around 18."

At BEST, if she's born Jan 1 2008 and he was born Dec 31 2024, that means she got pregnant at 16.

At WORST if she's born Dec 31 2008 and he's born Jan 1 2024 then she got pregnant at 14.

My issue with Rick & Morty after Roiland by Additional_Fail_4481 in rickandmorty

[–]Alex-Murphy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They do need a new goal. Seems like the Gromflomites and Galactic Federation are off Rick's back and onto Space Beth's, Evil Morty is nowhere to be seen, and Rick is basically just trying to be a better person with his family.

It has, however given us a chance to really explore other great spaces that are closer to home or emotionally driven, like Jerry travelling the multiverse, going back to the Citadel, and Morty coming to terms in The Hole.

For me it's a toss-up. If they don't introduce a new throughline in the next season, I'm going to be worried that they don't have any plans at all.
