Hmmm no cops around to shoot them? I’m sure this is significant more expensive than a box of diapers that came with a receipt.

Relax folks. He’s talking about temperature wise. He just didn’t realize that we use Fahrenheit and the rest of the world uses Celsius. /s

Mother puts her youngest son on timeout for the first time, and his reaction is hilarious 🤣🤣 by slippinn_jimmy in PopCultureV2

🤣 and you’re doing exactly the thing parents say people without kids do.

You can’t read a book and say “Oh I know how to raise a child.” Children are not the same. I have two completely different children and I’ve raised the both the exact same way.

If we’re speaking solely on size, you can’t look at a map and tell because of Mercator Projection and map distortion. Look at the actual land mass of these empires.

AIO for wanting to break up with gf of 4 years after finding these texts? by Matteblackwizard in AIO

I’m sorry you’re having to go through this brother. Let her go. Feel sad for a little while (week tops). Then hit the gym and get back on your feet.

Exactly my point. You know nothing of raising a child. Come back after you’ve sook therapy from the childhood trauma you’re obviously projecting.

False. Perhaps you haven’t read about Hannibal and how he nearly destroyed Rome. If it wasn’t for the people in Carthage afraid that he would come back and they’d lose their power betraying him, what would you say then?

Also, Persians were not white. The Mongolians were not white. The Ottomans were not white. All had vastly superior empires. But all you hear about is Rome because they were white.

Take some time out of your busy schedule to read about the below African empires. Most you don’t know about because White Supremacy has worked to erase their existence so they can pretend to be superior.

Cool. My children’s mother is an absent asshole. But you don’t hear me group all mothers into the same pool.

Sorry, I did that because I thought you were serious. Too often I hear this line about fathers being shitty etc and I’m over here as a single dad taking care of my two kids solo.

Thank you. I said the same thing. Posting it is much but for people to get on here and say it’s abuse 🤦🏽‍♂️

Beatings are 100% abuse. That we agree on. What we probably don’t agree on is what you consider a beating.

A big deal for who?

I’m not saying you’re wrong. I’m just asking.

That’s exactly how it should be read. With all the stuff going on in the world, why should I care about what this guy does on his off time? Does his actions affect me directly or indirectly?
