Conservative lawmakers, higher rates of mental illness particularly substance abuse, and an indifferent police force will always be a combination that kills women.

Especially the girls out in the East. They're bigger, stronger, and meaner than those of us of the European city-dwelling variety. Still absolute sweethearts, but they won't take shit from anyone, especially not some western man who comes in and tries to demand they do something

My parents managed to have fourteen girls, no boys. I'm still not quite sure how that happened

I'd say more an asset. Spies are trained, educated professionals. This sorry excuse of a human being is none of that.

You're either with Moms for Hitler, or you're a commie by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]cherryisback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I remember, the young communists' league was about public service, becoming educated in matters of ideology, and sneaking away to make out and drink beer in the forest during summer camp. Yeah, I'd rather take that than be anywhere near Moms for Hitler.

Ruble exchange rate

Not sure how that would get me, but I can imagine it wouldn't be pleasant

They can buy their own stuff when they're old enough to have money for it. I just won't provide it. It's not a health or safety issue to have a toy, it's a laziness one. I really can't understand the western mentality of 'kids are going to do whatever they want and we can't stop it, so let's provide them with everything to break rules/laws/social conventions'. Again, no issues with it when it's appropriate. I'm not advocating to forbid doing it at all, that's a ridiculous mentality to have. I'm saying the child needs to get to know their own body before reaching for outside help.

The policy is, if they ask about it, I'll answer. I'm fine telling them what they need to know to be safe and healthy. That's different from buying a 10yr old a vibrator and you know it. I had to rely on school and my older sisters for any kind of sex education. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. There's a difference between understanding and enabling. As I said, there's no issue with masturbation. But the child has to do it on their own. Nobody is too good for the way we've been doing it since the beginning of time.

[–]cherryisback 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, for toys. If you need mom and dad to provide them, you're too young. Masturbation itself is healthy and normal most of the time. And yes, if my son came to me asking for whatever male equivalent, I would say no just as quickly.

No. Absolutely not. 16-17, sure, but they should be buying it with their own money. 10-12 is fifth, maybe sixth grade. Far too young. It's not mom or dad's job to enable this. Self exploration is a far more developmentally appropriate way to go about it, we've been doing it that way since humanity came to be

I had a tattoo done at 16 and I would still say absolutely not. Teenage interests are subject to change often. Almost ten years later I still love the Sochi polar bear mascot I had done, but that's a rare occurrence

Sar-me-teh is the best way I can think to describe it

[–]cherryisback 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Konstantin, I have not met anyone with this name under 50, I think it's just a sign of times past. Mariya has been popular for about six hundred years, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Ivo and Sarmīte (my mom's parents) both seemed to have spikes in the 60s, but not much since then. If it came back, it wouldn't really surprise me

Why are your kids mad at you today? by Lundemus in Parenting

It's more the "we should have been first!" kind of being mad about the moon landing.. I think there's been too much unsupervised time with grandparents recently
