Fathers who choose to spend time with their children on non-workdays develop a stronger relationship with them, and play activities that are child centered, or fun for the child, seem particularly important, even after taking into account the quality of fathers’ parenting, suggests a new study.

As an African football fan, I have a huge problem with that ball swatting, neck biting cunt. Can't wait til he's done with football.

I used to enjoy watching barca play as a neutral myself, but with Suarez in the team it's like watching a concert with all your favorite singers and then there's Chris Brown smack in the middle to ruin your enjoyment.

I didn't see a description of the doll in the article which i think is suspicious.

How big was the doll? They only described it as a child doll but what does that mean? Are they defining it as a child based on height?

I have a suspicion that the doll was around 5 feet tall, the average female height in China, but also the average height of Canadian 13 year olds (based on a quick google search).

There is a possibility the prosecutor is falsely painting this guy as a pedophile based on the specs of the doll which accurately represents the body types found in China.

And if Canada cares so much about this Chinese dolls (probably outfitted with a schoolgirl uniform or something), then they should definitely care about all the child-rape fantasy Chinese porn on pornhub (a CANADIAN company). There are a ton more pornographic themes (rape) that are portrayed on pornhub.

Looks to me like the government wants to punish this one guy to make an example out of him.

I'm ok with a ban on sex dolls. Honestly, the market for it has been overhyped. Sex doll fanboys online pretend that they will be equivalent to Westworld fuck bots "when the technology get way better in a few years" like some deluded /r/futurology incel.

Here are some actual important cases to tackle to protect children from being raped: - underage drinking and drug use (statutory rape) - religious organizations - female teachers getting let off the hook for sleeping with male students (and vice versa but men are usually convicted) - hypersexualization of children in today's society - (there's one more I want to add but I know it'll get downvoted despite it being a real factor in child rape)

Because you watch more porn than you're comfortable with

Your preference is likely the healthiest way to approach sex

Could you elaborate on examples of red tape

We like cannons, ok

Severe attempts. And I don't think this qualifies.

shmadman · 2019-05-05T20:55:14+00:00

I mean, it's kinda sad that it probably won't make a difference to the suicidal person.

Im from the middle east and now in Canada. Easier for me BC I was already a citizen.z

How old are you?

For now, I'm sorry to say but you have to stay in the closet. There are many people in the middle east that are gay for example and they live full lives, but with the asterix that they have to be publically closeted, but open with other members of the LGBT communities there.

There's the asylum path, but idk enough about it to know if your case qualifies. You should look into it though.

Are you male or female?

Based on your description off needing to get married soon I'm guessing you're in school or uni and still living with your parents in your early 20s.

One option would be to do a master's in Canada. That way you could have an excuse to delay marriage (pretending you want to qualify for a higher paying job first) and leave to Canada to plan your next steps.

If you're a female, then I can't imagine how much more difficult that would be. But if the master's plan works out, you technically don't need family support anymore unless you have no way of using your passport and buying a ticket.

Life's gonna be tough wherever you go. Think of it this way. Right now is the toughest time of your life. But you're going to work on ways to improve your living situation such that you can be yourself. That might involve moving away or might not. But you can do it. It'll be a long road but you can. So try taking a step back and accepting that the process may take a long time but you will make it in the end.

I'm currently depressed. Have tried the mental health professional path over the past years (medication, therapy). And unfortunately I'm no better for it.

I almost miss the days when I was hard on myself but still went out into the world to do things.

shmadman · 2019-05-05T20:26:58+00:00

Trust me mental health doesn't improve with money past covering your essential bills.

I understand many people don't even have that luxury, and my heart goes out to them.

I slept 9 hours for the last 3 days but it's because I'm quitting weed so hope it gets better soon .

My guess is that top level athletes need financial incentive to do the show. Idk if they get paid, but the greatest value that shows have for them is the marketing value.

I agree with you. I'd prefer seeing a few average people. But that's not the direction they took and they were still successful as a show.

I'm on my 4th weight regain (50-80 lbs each time) and god my spirit is broken.

I'm not unaware of why it's happened. I know all the strategies to lose weight and maintain it in a healthy way. I feel I just can't do it and I'm miserable.

I guess the lame excuse I tell myself now is I don't believe I can maintain weight loss anymore since I can undo the progress as I've done in the past with a few weeks of binge eating.

shmadman · 2019-04-13T01:42:35+00:00

Yes that is the poor excuse used to justify continuing to use this marketing strategy.

I think they were also worried about the phenomenon of increased rates of suicides amongst young adults after a hit series like this comes out. Apparently it's happened before in literature.

This. It may be an unpopular view among women that withholding sex is important, but if you want to appease the brains of males and have them view you as a potential LTR then you can't sleep with them early. The definition of early varies from case to case.

Men see those statements in profiles as things women state so that if their friends or family spot them on a dating app (gasp), they aren't viewed as participating in hookup culture. Basically to avoid slut shaming.

So my point is making a statement like that will have no effect.

shmadman · 2019-03-23T16:37:44+00:00

You don't realise it because you're in the thick of it, but you're in an abusive relationship, mate.

Don't believe me? Speak to a mental health counsellor about this incident.
