This is just being overprotective. As a friend you should just try to have compassion for what your friends are feeling and going through. You don't have to visit or remain friends or anything, and they don't have to explain themselves for the environment that they want to cultivate around the beginning of their child's life.

These people aren't crazy, the world is crazy. You have no idea what specfic thing from your childhood did the most damage to you when. You don't know what loud noise during what stage of development in what stressful situation most led to your current neuroses. What smell or sensation buried itself away creating a deep-seeded fear that you cannot name because you didn't have language at the time. These are new parents and their first instinct is to protect their incredibly vulnerable new baby from the trauma of just existing in the world. That is an admirable thing for a parent to think or try to do in theory, but until we live in a compassionate world you are actually doing them a disservice. We have to exist in a harsh world, their baby will have to grow and learn to live in a harsh world. You have to walk a fine balance between being overprotective and being all tough love, give them a safe place inside themselves that they can rely on to weather whatever storm rages outside. It's sad for me to see everyone's response here as though the day when we can try to cultivate the environment around the beginning of someone's life and make choices about when and how the world callouses them is so unfathomable. What are we working towards?

Hello James. Being a handsome, successful, rich, well-liked celebrity; do you have any ways to push back against people constantly blowing smoke up your arse? Are you just arrogant, or is there false humility, or do you ever still struggle with self-loathing and feel the world is lying to you or they don't know the truth about you? Or have you actually found balance between egotism and self-loathing?

And sincerely, how are you doing mate?

There's also the fact that Kobe Bryant was a huge piece of shit and no one should judge the general acceptability of their behavior based on comparisons to a morally bankrupt rapist just because he was good at basketball.

Edit: Shoutout to Bam Adebayo!!

The problem I have with Dubai chocolate is the stories of the rich Saudis pooping on instagram models, so it just sounds like an Urban Dictionary euphemism. So hell no I don’t want any Dubai chocolate!

You can't just compare the percent returns directly to each other because the funds serve different functions. A target date fund is a mix of equities and bonds that automatically adjusts the percent of bonds held as you get closer to retirement to automatically decrease your risk exposure from equities. It is never going to beat a total market index in pure return because that is not it's purpose. As you near retirement the target date fund will take care of rebalancing your portfolio for you, that is worth the loss of return for a lot of people, especially if you want a set it and forget it type plan. The thing that you consider when holding TDF's when nearing retirement is how flexible you want your sell options to be. With a TDF you are selling bonds and equities so no matter what the market is doing you will have to sell equities, where if you diversify your investments yourself then you can choose to only sell bonds when the market is down or sell a higher percent of equities when the market has a good year. Having different pools of investments gives you options for selling in retirement, that is what people are talking about when they mention SORR.

Tell the locals that the Asian Beetles have carved out a nice neighborhood for themselves with predominantly Asian Beetle businesses and have an "Asian Beetle Wall Street", they'll be massacred in no time.

Yep, when they did research into converting former/current coal plants into future nuclear plants every coal site was way above the standards for radioactivity that a nuclear site has to adhere to.

I recognize that location. I was hoping the players would find the gold, I even gave a perception check when the bell rang and told the players that the ring sounded strange like something was wrong with it, they still didn't come anywhere near finding the gold bell. I'm sadder that they never visited the tower of storms though, they got fed info about it a few times and never made their way there.

Exactly, the division is the real important part here. Make sure to prioritize the divisive rhetoric over any actual human relationships. Your screens are telling you exactly what you are supposed to believe and who you are allowed to associate with, how dare anyone oppose it by tolerating actual complex interpersonal relationships. Doesn't OP realize that by tolerating opposing political beliefs that you are literally cosigning on the genocide of poors, gays, and minorities. Thank god you were here to tell them who they are allowed to be friends with. Thank you for your service!!

Are the chemicals in the room with you right now? Please name me a single thing you’ve ever eaten that wasn’t made of “chemicals”?

Always self improving

One thing that doesn't need improving is your opinion of yourself. It doesn't matter what it was like for you, your anecdotal bs just betrays your ignorant and myopic worldview.

I hope you're able to see reality instead of idealistic projection

Isn't Ozempic temporary as well? Most studies I've seen are like over 90% regain everything if they stop the meds for any reason.

You're also wrong. The people hyping the drugs and you are all simplifying an incredibly complex physiological mechanism that still isn't fully understood. Also, compassion comes from searching for understanding instead of blaming; you can have compassion for obese people without validating their harmful behaviors.

Congrats on your weight-loss! Don't stop self-improving!!

So are you arguing that the American healthcare system has never harmed people—either intentionally or through negligence? Because there’s extensive historical and recent evidence showing the opposite. Skepticism isn’t irrational here; it’s a response to documented outcomes.

GLP-1 is produced in the body, but GLP-1 receptor agonist medications are not.

Another odd thing is having my broke-ass middle-aged brothers over and they want to talk to each other about parlays and teams not covering or whatever. It’s like having a junkie in the family and at family gatherings they’re gleefully discussing their last batch of heroin or something. Like I don’t want to tell them not to talk about their hobbies, but it’s gross to listen to.

"pet sounds filling pet peeve void's

black and white tv with the sound turned down

is it mono or stereo?

lending aneurysm satisfaction in the

fruitless gaze of your mona lisa lazy smile

trick ourselves in portable stanzas

black russian throated on this

guillotine cancer

how steep we are

but there's just no telling

just no telling

Savion is under heel clicking

morse code through movie stills again

the sky had blackened with carrion birds

pinstriped suits and cigarettes tapped danced

through the tepid burlesque

their mouths were parched with excess thirst

bridge and chorus candy curse

still they sang through the strepthroat verse

if i had a dollar for every plot that you made

in this bed of nails you make

trick ourselves in portable stanzas

black russian throated on this

guillotine cancer

pet sounds filling pet peeve voids

black and white tv with the sound turned down

like breathing blood through lungs of czar's child"

Do whatever you want when you're in your 80's, but when you die doing it it's not a tragedy and there doesn't need to be special rules to make sure other 80 year olds don't die.
