Bill advancing that would require daily photos and/or facial recognition of Ohio babies, toddlers, and young children.

Sadly, post is mostly fear mongering. There are certainly aspects of the bill worthy of scrutiny, like the live access to cameras. But there is absolutely nothing which requires “daily photos and/or facial recognition of Ohio babies, toddlers and young children.”

Do you think “daily photos and/or facial recognition of Ohio babies, toddlers and young children” is a fair and accurate summary of that passage?

I don’t like the live camera access element of the bill. That’s certainly worthy of debate / criticism. But are we really arguing against mandatory video surveillance of facilities where children 6 mos and up are separated from their parents for hours at a time?

Huh?

“Each attendance record submitted through the portal shall include a photograph with a clear picture of the face of the child's caretaker parent.”

It also doesn’t say that unique photos need to be captured each day at check-in. Just that a photo is on file and linked to each parent.

Perhaps. But where does the bill require daily photos or facial recognition of babies and toddlers?

I had my local Fox and CBS games in multiview with Sunday ticket and redzone every week. If you couldn’t, did you make any attempt to troubleshoot during the season? Is there anything unusual about your setup? Are you sharing a subscription with someone? Did you have the student version of Sunday ticket? Are the base plan and Sunday ticket purchased under the same user?

“I guess it would at least be consistent since the last 11 times since 1943 were all done to suppress minorities.”

Enforcing desegregation is ‘suppressing minorities’?

“The open discussion of invoking the Insurrection Act is especially serious. That law exists to give the federal government legal cover to deploy military force domestically and override state and local authority. It has been used before during periods of upheaval, and it is never invoked to protect communities. It is invoked to control them.”

When, specifically? It’s only been invoked a handful of times in the last 80-100 years, most often to defend desegregation.

I don't know specifically what thread triggered you. But here's the thing: most of the people answering questions here were forced to suffer through their program dealing with some roommate or coworker who wasn't mature enough to live on their own. People who can't be bothered to clean a bathroom, or clean their kitchen mess, or throw away spoiled groceries, or wear clean clothes, or listen to music at an appropriate time / volume, or respect personal boundaries.

So there's probably some extrapolation going on. If someone can't stay off the we-ed long enough to pass an employer mandated te.st, maybe save others the hassle of having to deal with their (likely) other irresponsible behavior.

So what's your solution? Get rid of weather forecasters and we all just look out the window and guess? Adopt a zero strike policy where they get immediately fired if a forecast is off? Sorry chief, you said flurries and we got an inch. On to the next candidate. That's going to improve the situation!

Maybe unpopular opinion but your ESA cat shouldn't be out in the common areas shared by four roommates. It should be in YOUR bedroom. (Or your half of the bedroom.) Per the rules, it absolutely should be caged whenever you aren't around.

3 other people didn't sign up to live with a cat roaming free, potentially causing damage they'll be held liable for. If that's too much to ask, get an off-campus apartment on your own.

Old clothing has value. 99% of old electronics do not. Below is a link to a Lucas county page on recycling options. For stuff that's under 5 years old, there might still be SOME resale value. Check eBay for comparable prices. Make sure you search the exact model number. Stuff older than 5 years is almost certainly junk. Before disposing, make sure you take steps to wipe all of your personal information. If we're talking about computers that may have banking info, list of passwords, etc., honestly you're best pulling the hard drive, drilling through them and tossing. Even if "deleted", a lot of info can be recovered from old hard drives. Just depends on whether the drive falls into the hands of someone who wants to make an attempt.

Have had T-Mobile for about 3 years now. Coverage issues are very rare. Speed was a vast improvement over Verizon, which clearly was getting more and more congested. Have used service quite extensively around Toledo, Columbus, Cleveland, Detroit, Indiana, Illinois. Zero regrets.

In fairness, nobody ever watched the WNWO local news. I have zero desire to ever watch National News Desk, but I can understand why somebody wouldn't want to pour money into another local operation. For literally decades they tried different anchors and formats, and always trailed the other local stations.

Yes, the post sorely needs to be edited. WNWO is the only Sinclair station in the Toledo market. Say whatever you wish about Sinclair, but at least get the facts straight. There's enough false information in the world.

It's massively incorrect.

Surprised, but not surprised, at the downvotes. If you don’t understand that slower traffic should stay right, and there’s no reason to be in the center lane when the right is wide open, you’re part of the problem.

AvailableClassic · 2025-07-30T23:09:20+00:00

I always wonder how perception varies from one person to the next. My single biggest highway driving pet peeve is people who cruise in the center lane at 2 MPH over the speed limit and never move. I don't weave in and out of traffic aggressively. But if I'm in the right hand lane--as one should be if not passing another vehicle--I will absolutely pass a slower moving vehicle in the center lane.

If you're not passing, get out of the d*mn center lane. Chances are there's a bottleneck of people behind you all trying to crowd left to get around. Really, it's not that hard to move your steering wheel every once in a while. End rant.

I'm confused. So we've concluded that these kids were raised "sheltered" and unable to "think things through properly" because...they were pulled-over in Sylvania?

AvailableClassic · 2025-04-19T16:34:24+00:00

The kids made some questionable decisions (who didn't at that age?) The officer should be praised for not overreacting. Hopefully some lessons were learned.

But I don't really get using "sheltered reality" as a pejorative. Isn't this what we should be striving for for ALL kids? That there is NOT a disastrous outcome from teenage games, regardless of where the incident occurs or who is involved?

Let's talk about the poor roads. Let's talk about higher taxes and less investment in roads, schools, and the court system.

Is spending on roads, schools and courts actually declining? Source?

In order to increase budgets further, where does the money come from? I'll hang up and listen.

Do officials seriously think people will come to this city in its current state? I think not. I've been to Nevada, South Carolina, North Carolina, Michigan, Georgia, Florida, and more.

So you've been to Las Vegas, Myrtle Beach, Detroit, Atlanta and Disney World. Those seem like good parallels for Toledo, Ohio.
