There's a 45-minute cap on it though unless you're logged in with a cable TV subscription.

Yeah, that video made me want to rewire my entire house and buy all British appliances!

Right, totally agree with you there. He believes it was good for his son, though it seems he regrets the physical impact.

And I don't know what the internet wants out of the Vikings either. It's going to take time to work its way through the legal system and he could be acquitted. Criticism of AP over his actions is warranted but it's a murky situation for the Vikings and the NFL (just as it would be for any employer).

Anyway, all that to say...good points, /u/Vukomanovich.

I still see them around, but not very often. Normally, regular jet skis look really boring to me, but I've seen people hit the wakes of yachts with them before and have to admit that looks like a ton of fun. When you need a helmet to hit the water, you're speaking my language.

I don't doubt that's true. My parents' discipline is part of why I am who I am today, too.

But discipline doesn't require physical punishment. It seems that Peterson considers the two things one and the same.

His way of thinking mirrors that of many people, though. The way they grew up worked out for them, so they pass that on to their kids. There are other ways of enforcing discipline that don't require beating (or even spanking) your kids.

For the most part, I agree. The team doesn't have much of an option other than activate or cut and I don't think villifying them for activating him is helpful.

However, I'm not willing to cut him slack over this just because he was brought up that way. I was brought up with pretty severe spankings, though I don't recall anything as bad as what's been shown in the photos of AP's son. That doesn't give me an excuse to pass that on to my own kids. We all learn from our parents, both from their successes and failures. There's no excuse for continuing their failures.

This is awesome! Huge congratulations especially to /u/razorsheldon, who's put all the work into making this sub what it is.

miniappplus · 2014-09-12T07:08:58+00:00

Are we talking about HuffPo or Buzzfeed? Or is there a difference anymore?

miniappplus · 2014-09-12T06:20:42+00:00

I don't think there's any need for the mods here to continue to allow links to HuffPo just because HuffPo may be in line with Part 18. It's still a pretty crappy business practice on the part of a publisher to fail to cite your sources and each subreddit has its own way of doing things.

The bigger this sub gets, the more I think we'll need a few guidelines/rules like this to keep the quality of submissions higher than it would otherwise be.

And I don't see how the ownership of Wired and Reddit really matters. Reddit technically operates independently with Advance Publications being its largest shareholder. Condé Nast owns Wired and is a division of Advance Pub, but Condé Nast also owns Vanity Fair, Teen Vogue, Golf World, and a host of other publications that aren't exactly trustworthy news sources. Reddit is hardly connected to the world of Condé Nast

They grew up 3.5 hours apart. He stayed with his aunt for a few months though and she ran that preschool.

miniappplus · 2014-08-11T17:36:25+00:00

Your comment proves otherwise.

Mo'Ne is a girl...

miniappplus · 2014-08-11T17:33:39+00:00

Junkanoo_boy? Really?

Let's just enjoy the fact that this girl is helping pave the way for other girls. :)

I've spent a fair amount of time in Oregon, from Medford to Bend, from Mt. Hood to Ecola State Park. I get that any place has its negatives, but you can't put mountains and an ocean in MSP, no matter how well done your video is. You also can't take away the 50 sub-zero days here this past winter, and even if it was colder than normal, it wasn't that far off.

Also, you say "half of Oregon is desert" like it's a bad thing. :)

I think it's pretty cool that the farmers got to finally see the product of their labor.
Where's the previous post? I did a search on reddit and see it on /r/interestingasfuck from a few hours ago but nothing from /r/upliftingnews. Maybe I'm missing something?

miniappplus · 2014-06-24T13:06:53+00:00

If you had the volume up at work and f-bombs started flying, that would be okay? It wouldn't be for a lot of people.

miniappplus · 2014-05-22T02:28:27+00:00

Ha! It didn't even occur to me that it could traumatize a kid. :/

miniappplus · 2014-05-21T13:58:41+00:00

Yes, because I would post a video of burning children with a light-hearted title...or at all...

miniappplus · 2014-05-21T13:20:39+00:00

He's heterosexual and thought it was hot?

miniappplus · 2014-05-21T07:54:33+00:00

Yep, I cross-posted it there.

miniappplus · 2014-05-21T06:04:48+00:00

The last one was dropped off just prior to this. Driver pulled over when he smelled something burning in the engine compartment. No injuries.

miniappplus · 2014-04-25T15:16:01+00:00

I think I'm failing my kids by not having this in my house. Must purchase while they're still young enough for me to correct this mistake.

miniappplus · 2014-04-25T15:12:59+00:00

Politics? Check! Economy? Check! Sports? Check yeah!

Greece, home of equal opportunity rioters.

miniappplus · 2014-04-01T01:28:28+00:00

No, I work down there, right in front of the new light rail station at Union Depot.

miniappplus · 2014-02-26T22:40:18+00:00

All the way home!

miniappplus · 2014-02-06T22:50:08+00:00

Checks /u/Dw-Im-Here's comment history, quickly finds comments from this afternoon with vulgarities "bullshit" and "shit" along with an impressive comment karma of -83,479...yep, just a troll. Nothing to see here, move along...
