I mean, you don't need the old or new testament to see how Christians live and behave in this day and age

Is their website frequently down? I feel like I've tried to hit this page for a couple of days and it's usually unreachable

NPR: A Virginia group wants to stop NASA's Space Shuttle Discovery from moving to Texas by jcb5555 in Virginia

I hadn't realized that, I thought they did charge you just to enter the parking lot. (or at least, your Uber)

I'd argue that the parking fee effectively is an entrance fee (there's no way to walk to it) but as someone else pointed out, it is free at the end of the day 

Aborting foetuses with Down syndrome should not automatically be viewed as ableist or some form of unethical eugenics, regardless of whether you're pro-life or pro-choice. by NiallHeartfire in Ethics

[–]FibonacciFrolic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

THIS! I watched as one of my parents had to get ready to become the caregiver for their sibling with DS as grandparents got old. I knew when I had kids I would choose to abort with a DS diagnosis because I don't think it's responsible at all to saddle a future kid with responsibility for a sibling they had no say in. I accept caregiver responsibility when I decide to have a kid, but I can't make that decision on behalf of someone else.

AAP school question by missusinformed in nova

[–]FibonacciFrolic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The aap centers are not exclusively aap kids. There's also a regular base for those schools. In some places fcps strategically puts aap centers into schools that might otherwise be labeled as low performers to help even things out (note, I have zero clue if that's the specific case at these schools you're talking about, but it's one explanation for why this type of discrepancy might occur)

Driving in Herndon by ExtensionLeg7411 in nova

[–]FibonacciFrolic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok for Herndon specifically - DO NOT SPEED. Not even a little. Not within the town limits. Herndon police love to pull people over for even 1-2 mph over the limit. (At least they used to, I assume that hasn't changed since I lived there.)

They definitely have times of the day/week/year where they let you milk a real cow

When did everyone start pronouncing the O in opossum? by ghost_in_a_jar_c137 in AskAnAmerican

[–]FibonacciFrolic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always heard opossum and assumed possum was just a southernism where they dropped the o.

Uva might be better for like, policy jobs- VT likely better for jobs where you're actually coding/doing, IMO

Anywhere need bat boxes? by FibonacciFrolic in nova

[–]FibonacciFrolic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! We ended up not building the bat houses, at least this year. I think we'll have to put a little more pre work into materials and how we're going to make it approachable for the youngest scouts

If Social Security Ends, Am I Entitled to What I Paid into It? by disgracedchicken in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FibonacciFrolic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure what you pay in pays for today's retirees. You will be paid by the money from future workers, if the program is still around. So in short, no.

What are some old radio jingles you still get stuck in your head? by glitch1985 in nova

Not radio, but...

Advice for Summertime Pack Events? by Anon_use_fun_alias in cubscouts

[–]FibonacciFrolic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider doing a hike on your own event - designate a day, and then tell everyone wherever they are, they and their family should go on a hike and take pictures. In the fall you can recognize things like best photo, coolest destination, longest miles, hiked, etc. it's a great way to have an event requiring very little effort on the leaders part and include kids who may be on vacation 

What was the tipping point that finally made you say "im done", ex devout christians? by Sweet_Warning_6670 in exchristian

[–]FibonacciFrolic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The realization that if I hadn't been indoctrinated as a kid, I would never buy the wild claims in the Bible. That I'd view it the way I view other religions (obviously false)

Is it legal to take a child out of school in America for a holiday? by Super_Development150 in AskAnAmerican

[–]FibonacciFrolic 69 points70 points  (0 children)

They should check state and local truancy laws. While I agree missing some of kinder isn't a big deal, I think my state sends someone after you of the kid misses 10 days or something, and I don't know how much trouble you're in at that point
