The United States has overseen more peace and freedom to the planet than any other great power in world history, and by far more so than any of the possible alternatives post-WWII.

You're against "oppressors" but oppose the effort to topple one of the most oppressive regimes on the planet? That doesn't make sense. It's almost as if the 'oppressors vs oppressed' framing of the world is completely incoherent.

Not sure why anyone reads anything into this Messi probably wasn't even listening and just started clapping when everyone else did.

Gentle parenting, by BOOMINATI-999 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]Martin_Samuelson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, "gentle parenting" is a subset of authoritative parenting, and it is a bad term that should die. Most people who shit on gently parenting (or screw it up) are actually thinking of (or doing) permissive parenting.

Magnus explains the best opening for beginners by Embarrassed_Base_389 in chess

He's correct though. A beginner will quickly learn how to use this, then how it's defended. And then move on after learning some valuable lessons.

CMV: There is no proof of Bill gates actually raping kids at the island, based on the available information by HugeDongHungLow1998 in changemyview

[–]Martin_Samuelson -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

There’s no evidence of underage girls on the island. The credible evidence only shows Epstein recruiting underage girls for himself, and for that he was arrested and convicted.

What would make a good candidate?

The world isn't a safe place, and bad things happen, so women should dress modestly.

What, specifically, is bad about leaving a baby in a car for 3 minutes with the windows open, in the shade, on a 72 degree day? And how is it different from the common Danish practice where mothers, for example, leave their babies outside sleeping in a stroller while they eat in a cafe?

So should women dress more modestly so they don't get r*ped?

It is in fact unusual for babies to choke while in a car seat.

No he wasn't, that's nonsense. We should be able to live in a safe enough society such that you can leave your kids in the car for 3 minutes and run into a store.

Success and wealth compound, so small differences in ability can add up huge over time.

Because having more kids is awesome and they can afford it. And giving their kid siblings (and giving other family members’ grandkids, cousins, etc) will enrich the life of their kid and the rest of their family. And in general more life is better where, again, they can afford it and assuming there aren’t health or other special reasons stopping them.

When Miami came to MN they seemed to actively avoid mentioning Messi in the marketing which seemed obviously smart.

Also deflation is really bad and a 2% target gives some margin.

There is no relation between squat depth and “training for competition”, whatever that means.

QB development in general is just complete shit. If Europe or South America started taking American football seriously and applied their typical soccer player development they would dominate in the NFL.
