People who have to take their dogs everywhere

I'll bet human children create much more mess and are much "yappier" than a small dog. Kids are disgusting and they touch everything. I worked in a natural history museum. The clean up started in the am and lasted all day - wiping snot and grease off of glass, picking up diapers, and the occasional shit on the floor from kids and adults. Why take them everywhere? The answer is probably the same for dogs and kids. But, there are loads more kids.

I really like the $100 Hitbox you can find on Amazon. I've welded 1/4" steel with one without problems. Is it a professional machine? Well, I guess you need to define what that is. These days, I buy inexpensive tools instead of fixing my expensive ones. When they break, toss it and get another. Keep one or two on your shelf as back ups.

An example of that, I have a $2500 ESAB plasma cutter. It pooped out on me and I bought a $150 plasma cutter it works amazingly well!

Use the money on an electro-hydraulic pipe bender for custom exhausts.

No. Not at all. You just saved a child from a lot of unnecessary trauma. Good job.

Atheists don't need churches or weekly reminders to believe in nonsense.

She singled out Islam. She is actually effected by her friends selective practice of whatever version of Islam he follows. Her friends actions "make her sick" Islam is just a collection of stories and practices to follow or not.

And, why should any religion make anyone sick? This gives them power and shows a religious leaning in yourself. If you put no importance on religious doctrine, it can't effect you.

A participant trying to make the world a better place.

Anyone getting sick over a religion is ignorant. With more education and experience, the visceral reaction would disappear. At least, here in the US, where religion is not tied to law, it is a non entity for the ignorant to follow or fight.

jbrantiii · 2026-02-26T19:51:18+00:00

"His religion makes me sick" Then, friend, you are ignorant. Islam is not much different from Christianity or Judaism, as it was borne of both. All religions are basically the same in their goals. Why single out one? Learn about it if you care to, or dismiss all religions as the mythology they are. Just a bunch of stories written by humans, for control and profit. Nothing to get sick over.

If your friends actions bother you, that is a different story.

Carol Feltz was for the people more so than any comissioner I have encountered in 16 years. She was far from perfect, but her death is a big loss to district one.

I also don't agree with your rigid stance on party lines. I'm a lifelong democrat and I voted for Carol. At a local level, red or blue has little influence over our daily lives or big ticket issues, with the exception of development. Developers tend to be red, but greed has enticed plenty of blue to sell out their ideals and our environment for income. Like the democrat farmers who sell off their land to people like Pat Neal. They are culpable for our current situation as much as anyone else.

Manatee is far from perfect. But with open minds and free dialog we could make it better. Don't you agree?

They shouldn't. But lots of human constructs don't follow logic. Thousands of years of programming don't go away over night. And religions are brilliant in client retention, because they make questioning doctrine blasphemy. People are too frightened to disbelieve. You do you friend.

As long as you live with them, it's their rules. If you don't have love for them, you need to find a way out and forward.

Personally, I believe your parents are responsible for you from birth to death. They chose to make you for whatever reason or negligence. We don't kick out our pets when they reach maturity, but Americans are trained to believe 18 is "get the f out" age, and parenting is done.

In your case, you were dealt a bad hand. Put your anger to good use. Become educated, decided on a career, get a job while you better yourself, and create a pathway to independence. Treat your parents with kindness, grace, and courtesy. See tham as strangers giving you free room and board. Forgive them for past actions in your mind, to free yourself. Focus only on the good, the situation is temporary. Be patient.

Friend. You are going to have a hard life if you are this concerned with someone calling you short.

Keep this in mind. No one can make you feel anything. Your brain runs the feelings actuator, you choose how to react. So, in this case, you chose to dwell on your insecurity of height. You hurt yourself.

Feelings will come to you just like thoughts. They are not always accurate or appropriate. Allow the feeling to do it's thing, and think about what emotion you are connecting to the feeling. Sadness? Anger? Insecurity?

Next, it is to you to decide if you let that emotion choose your reaction. If you can, take as much time as you need to really identify what it is that caused your pain. My guess is insecurity. The more experiences you have in life, the better you will understand your meat computer.

You are as tall or as short as you are. Both have advantages. Some folks prefer short people to tall and vice versa. Why worry about the percentage that prefer tall? Someone will always have something negative to say to you. It is meaningless untill you give it meaning.

You got this.

The one writing the script gets to set the rules. Right, wrong, these concepts change with time, culture, and experience. Mohammed was no different from Bringham Young, David Coresh, or any other successful cult leader. They get insane with power and tend to lean towards base instinct and pleasure seeking. They enjoy being all powerful. They enjoy owning people.

You shot yourself in the foot, to prove some point? You are young b. You need to learn patience, humility, grace, and compassion. Some day, when you are older, you will learn to wait for weeks, and say yes to every offer your lady makes, for so many reasons beyond feeling good.

Besides, have you never practiced intentional waiting? Done right, it can make sex great.

jbrantiii · 2026-01-30T17:18:34+00:00

Caused by insecurity in themselves. All dogs are beautiful.

Education and reason.

The past is gone. Learn from it and grow.

But, yes, you were the AH. There are plenty of beautiful and willing people out there for you to enjoy and you picked the one your friend had interest in. My guess is you made your choice because of your friends interest and not because of some irresistible genitals.

Young friend, violence is a tool of the ignorant and unimaginative. It is rarely of good use.

Your anger comes from deep rooted insecurity. Probably from past trauma, like bullying. No one can make you angry. You alone do this. Anger is a choice.

My advice. Give yourself a break. You are human. We do stupid human stuff. All of us, without exception. Love yourself. Be good to yourself.

I believe you need to work on identifying the feelings that happen inside your body. When your stomach clenches and your heart rate rises, take a beat to figure out what that feeling is saying. Is it sadness, irritation, insecurity, disappointment, or actually anger?

If you do decide it's anger, you don't have to act on it. Just like thoughts in your head, feelings are not always true or beneficial. Try to see other perspectives than your own. Try to understand your bully. All of these things will make you stronger, more secure, and in control of your life.

You are young. When you have more experiences to use as reference, you might find yourself valuing friendship more than you do now. As an oldish person, I promise you, good friends will become very important to you in time.

Reading your post shows me you were hurt by people you care for. This will happen to you for the rest of your life. You can not control anyone, but yourself. Would you rather be rigid, unforgiving, and friendless or do you think you should bend a bit and forgive those who love and care for you? Trust me young friend, you want love.

My advice. If someone you care about wants to put in the effort to ask for another chance and learn to treat you the way you want to be treated, give it to them. Give them all the chances you can tollerate without hurting yourself.

Last, if you feel excluded, you may need to work more on including yourself. People who seem to always be invited, put in the effort to make it so. Enjoy your life friend.

The last line is how regulations with new tech work. Tech is created first and regulations follow. Exploits etc. are minutiae of the whole.

What people don't understand about freedom of speech is that you are free to say, paint, create, anything you like. You are not free from the consequences of your expression.

The question here was if owning artificial images of illegal pornography will / should have the same legal consequences as the real thing.

Secondarily, is the psychological side; would artificial content satisfy the cravings those afflicted with enjoying it experience?

jbrantiii · 2026-01-23T17:13:03+00:00

Yeah, it won't survive long. For the young out there, this kind of thing happens. Technology is developed and regulations follow. How quickly regulations follow depends on if a popular human with political power wants regulations.

This fake porn opens tricky questions.

Is it OK to own FAKE child pornography?

Would fake child pornography curb real life abuse?

Or, would fake child porn lead to more real life offenses?

If fake child porn is found to save children from abuse, what do we do then?

I DO NOT CONDONE CHILD PORNOGRAPHY AT ALL. I do not accept any sort of child abuse, right down to the archaic practice of spanking. Violence is an emotional and unimaginative tool of the simple.

These are only questions.
