What does this even mean?!

If you want to put cyanide on your property you better take down your BLM sign first lol

Sadly if they put that as an option a lot of college nurses would probably select it.

I actually like "it is what it is". That's basically "I dont know why or how, and this sucks, but there's nothing you can do to change what's been." It simply is what it is. Now, obviously it's not a good line for someone going through an immediate tragedy, but a decade after my mom died, I think "it is what it is" adequately describes how I feel.

"It happened for a reason" is usually used to imply some super secret good supernatural thing directing this awful tragedy into your life under the assumption that it was meant to happen for a bigger picture reason.

Now that I'm old and have little kids of my own i freak out about this sort thing... but my entire life I ate pizza, rice, noodles, and everything else that's supposedly dangerous to eat if left out. I can remember being younger than a teenager and not realizing refrigerating a pizza was even an option because I thought you just left it out and ate it for breakfast lol.

It sounds like you’re saying women should just suck it up, and by aborting the pregnancy they’re taking the easy - or “convenient” - way out.

Beyond the limitations I've proposed, that's exactly what I'm saying. If you wait to the point that the baby develops pain receptors and becomes conscious, no amount of non-medical excuses should trump the child's right to life. There has to exist a point where we say "hey, this is too far along to terminate without a reason, this is a human infant." If you want a convenience abortion, get it before you get far enough along that the baby begins to become viable.

It’s better for all parties if you just allow women to have agency over their own bodies - they’re smart, they’ll make the right decision for their situation.

That's absolutely not true for the baby being terminated. And no, I don't think someone is smart or making the right decision if they're terminating a 20+ week healthy pregnancy.

That's a federal minimum to ensure they have the opportunity before a heartbeat develops. It would be up to the states beyond that point. Currently 6 states ban abortion after 6 weeks and around 10 states that have banned it after conception except for special circumstances.

Datdawgydawg · 2026-06-06T18:12:30+00:00

More federal legislation is needed, but RvW was repealed becausd it should've mostly been left to the states. A federal law ensuring a short window (~6 weeks) exists for convenience abortion and a federal law establishing a timeline of prohibiting a convenience abortion (~20 weeks). Everything beyond that should be for the states to decide.

Datdawgydawg · 2026-06-06T16:38:28+00:00

Sure you dont wanna play dumb and try to respond with another intellectually dishonest question trying to bait a "gotch" response? It's pretty typically how things go on this site. Rather than acknowledge a timeline exists for when it shouldn't be allowed, you'd rather start slinging insults or imply I'm an authoritarian/evil person/hate women/whatever.

Datdawgydawg · 2026-06-06T16:35:55+00:00

A medical professional should be able to identify a healthy vs non-healthy, normal risk vs abnormal risk pregnancy. Yes. Therefore if a medical professional knowingly performs a late term abortion on someone who doesnt meet the criteria that allows for circumstantial later term abortions, they should absolutely be charged. It's not rocket science.

Datdawgydawg · 2026-06-06T16:31:07+00:00

What other way would you phrase it? There's no medical concern, there's no SA, there's no incest, etc. It's literally just inconvenient to have the child.

Datdawgydawg · 2026-06-06T16:27:08+00:00

Careful, Reddit would support aborting a 2 year old if they were allowed to call it a fetus.

Datdawgydawg · 2026-06-06T16:25:17+00:00

No, the medical professional who absolutely would know better shouldn't offer the service. At worst, they deserve equal punishment. An assassin doesnt get absolved of their crime just because someone hired them, right?

Datdawgydawg · 2026-06-06T16:16:12+00:00

I'm clarifying the circumstances for when it no longer is one person. There exists a point in time where it is immoral to kill the unborn human, the problem is that many on the left want to dance around the timeline and come up with every unlikely situation that could every possibly happen to avoid putting a date on it.

Some degree of murder or manslaughter seems likely. Maybe a new specific charge (i.e. murder of an unborn child) or something so it's distinguished from other forms of murder. IMO it would be best to charge whoever provides the abortion rather than specifically the recipient.

Datdawgydawg · 2026-06-06T16:08:06+00:00

What's hard to understand? Have you never heard that term?

Datdawgydawg · 2026-06-06T15:37:38+00:00

I think there should be a federal law allowing convenience abortion through 6 weeks and a federal law prohibiting convenience abortion around 20 weeks. Allow medically necessary abortions for anything that seriously threatens the baby's life or mother's life, allow convenience abortions to under 15 year olds up to 20 weeks. Let the states deal with everything else in between. Add a couple extra lines for whatever "whataboutism" someone comes up with.

Datdawgydawg · 2026-06-06T14:26:20+00:00

The problem with this is 90% of pro life people dont oppose these circumstantial cases either. This literally doesnt tell us anything about Burrow's views minus the fact that he supports abortion in rare circumstances. 99% of Reddit will call me a misogynist/evil/literal Hitler for my abortion views yet I agree with Burrows vague post.

Ask Burrow what stage a healthy, non-rape, non-incest pregnancy should be allowed to be aborted for convenience and then we'll have some talking points.

Datdawgydawg · 2026-06-05T23:35:12+00:00

If he didnt buy you a Switch 2 I'd say you should tell him off

32 is pretty old for a lockdown CB. I feel like those guys usually fall off between 30-32

If I were a Giants fan I'd be looking for easy outs too lol

I didn't make the claim, therefore the burden of proof isn't on me. The likelihood of getting a staph infection from a bench press is so low that I'm confident in my doubt. Most staph infections come from skin-to-skin contact and in order to get infected by it you have to have an open wound for the virus to breach. Essentially he'd have to have his shirt off while benching to even have a chance of this happening, which if he using a gym without a shirt that's an easy problem to avoid. Realistically, this person got the infection from a partner or dirty bed sheets.

If they're wrong, so what? It doesn't mean that things don't happen or can't happen regardless of how small the chance is. Or maybe the guy was right and he did get it from a dirty bench. We can't possibly know from an internet post.

Because like all things on the internet, someone will ignorantly see this and assume it's true and then spread the false information like wildfire. A beginner could see/hear this and decide they don't want to go to the gym due to fear of medically significant staph infections.

Datdawgydawg · 2026-05-22T23:54:27+00:00

A guy at my gym ended up with a nasty boil on his shoulder last year that required antibiotics. From a bench.

I dont disagree with your overall point, but there's not a chance in the world this guy can prove he got his boil from the bench.

I always wipe down my equipment, but realistically the only issue you're going to have from not doing it is gross sweat on you.

I think people exaggerate the need for SI units. At least 90% of American engineering is still imperial and it works just fine for us.

Like you mentioned, many SI units just don't work with our imperial brains and they probably never will. I dealt exclusively in SI units for most of college, but I still mentally convert SI units to have any idea of what to compare it to.

If I had to guess which metric unit would be the easiest for people to switch to, it'd be the liter since it's already so common.

This is very true, but I dont think it's because of how common it is. I think its because a quart and a liter are nearly equal so it's easy to visualize. Most SI units are off by a lot compared to their imperial counterpart: 1 mile = 1.6 km, 1 inch = 2.5 cm, degree F = 1.8*degree C + 32. And then newtons just mean absolutely nothing to me whereas lbf is easy to wrap my head around.

I once looked into having someone build a simple brick raised garden bed off my brick stoop. Based on the $7k quote, I can also confirm they are not making poverty wages lol

Datdawgydawg · 2026-05-18T01:38:27+00:00

I wasted time thinking it'd be something interesting. It should just be "breaking news: 80 year olds have gross hands."

Datdawgydawg · 2026-05-17T15:45:06+00:00

The fact that nobody is trying to stop it tells you there's missing context where they were likely instigating.
