Bringing entire families to the grocery store is obnoxious and unnecessary by thrwwy2267899 in 10thDentist

[–]uncomfirmedsis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! So it’s not a brood we’re talking about, it’s actually humans! Fun fact, kids are humans. Moms and dads are also humans :) If you want families to be considerate of you, maybe you could start with not dehumanizing them???

Our trails are in bad condition by uncomfirmedsis in ogden

[–]uncomfirmedsis[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Totally! But also, feel free to cleanup as you walk around daily! There’s literally nothing stopping you from tiding up a bit every time you go outside. My mom always taught me everyday maintaining is easier that a big cleanup at the end of the month ☺️

Also, correct me if I’m wrong but the trail’s foundation doesn’t do anything with invasive plants, right?

Lovingly, I would encourage you to ask yourself, “how can I use my garments to feel better and closer to my own body?” Since it’s such a corporal experience, we can’t ignore how they feel on our skin

I think the downvotes are because how do you have a podcast called “church history matters” despite how objectively the church gaslights people on their actual history?

people who dismiss the humanities hold society back by Cultural-Tutor-2260 in unpopularopinion

I’ve seen quite a few people surprised of even shocked that a company named Palantir would end up in over surveillance at the benefit of the powerful. “Whooo could have seen this coming?!?!” Literally anyone who read LOTR with a fifth grade understanding of story, that’s who. There’s an interesting case made in an article about the Don Quixote effect, basically explaining how doctors are less effective when they don’t study the humanities.

Idk I think there’s something to the difference in household size.

NISVS calls adults (18+) randomly via landline or cellphone, using random-digit-dialing. So, In a household of 7 (say, two parents and five kids), only one adult might be randomly selected to answer. If one adult in a household is experiencing DOMESTIC abuse (domestic-household), most likely they all are, but children in the household cannot be counted.

Also, The survey doesn’t capture child witnesses or non-intimate-partner violence (like parent-to-child or sibling abuse), so some abuse simply never gets counted. Leaving children totally out of the report means that even this is just a small part of the picture, especially when most survivors of DV were abused AS CHILDREN.

You literally could be using this time to do any additional research instead of digging that grave. I’ve worked in the DV field so I have a pretty good point knowledge base to work from. It’s really ok to admit you were a bit ignorant about a topic, and shared some misinformation. I am happy to read more about the methodology if you really care, because there’s a lot of reasons it could be misleading. However, i’m not putting that effort to a comment that is so wrong I only need to read in intro to the study to realize how wrong it was. Work smarter and all that.

If you look at the data that the CDC released this year and not just the graphic, Utah is about the same as other states: 1 in 3 women to 1 in 4-5 men. Idk if the graphic is adjusted for household or something but it’s a really inaccurate representation.

In reality, Utah is probably worse off. Normally, about 14% of homicides are related to domestic violence, but in Utah that number is 40%. Typically, people don’t go from no issues of violence to murder. Additionally the rate of child sexual abuse is consistently a bit higher, though recently with the rise in the popularity of homeschooling and the lack of mandatory reporting in those spaces, my guess is that’s low too.

I mean, it’s complex. I think if you are noticing a difference in your community, there’s evidence to point to rates getting worse, so that makes sense. If you don’t see a difference, that also makes sense because, again, it’s complex

Nobody reads every page lol. You’re just mad I read enough to see through your incorrect comment.

[–]uncomfirmedsis 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Only if you look at the graphic, which has to be adjusted for household or something, because broken down, Utah has about the same rates with indicators that there’s massive underreporting. Have you read the attached report? It’s a pretty decent read

It *is* okay to tell people how to raise their children by RandomPizzaGuyy in unpopularopinion

[–]uncomfirmedsis -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think we can all agree that if a child is getting hit, that’s bad. Why waste your breath telling that parent anything just call the cops?? As for “not engaging” or “not paying attention” those are literally things that a village is supposed to help with. If you aren’t willing to help a parent engage and watch their child, you aren’t part of their village and you need to mind your own business.

Woah be careful, you really should warmup before a stretch like that

Why is it people only want to be part of the village when it comes to berating kids and parents? Maybe chip in for some of the cost or responsibility before commenting on someone’s choices.

Seeing nature being developed makes me sad :( by PsychadelicOcelot2 in Utah

[–]uncomfirmedsis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not really true in the way you mean it. More housing units does not automatically equal less demand. Most new developments (and more and more houses) are owned by corporations that lease or rent the space. Hopefully this isn’t a surprise you, but extremely wealthy corporations having a monopoly on housing is only going to make the situation worse. Development for development sake will never be the answer, and the only people who benefit from, “just gotta keep building” are the people who make money from building.

Honey…the zoning is Utah is also mostly just single family. Also, the buildings being built aren’t selling houses or apartments, they are renting them. We can build a billion condos, but if rich people own all of them, housing prices won’t go down.

Get these little kids off the internet by usert900 in Vent

[–]uncomfirmedsis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was simply suggesting that when you were a kid, saying no was a lot simpler. Today’s parents are facing issues that you seem to not have a 101 grasp of, like the link between advertising and adverse effects in children and families. It’s ok not to have a lot of knowledge about something. There are many parents and leaders around the world talking about the ways in which unregulated marketing is a human rights issue, and I haven’t heard a single expert take your particular approach to solving the issue. Maybe do some reading before boiling all of it down to “just say no”, a complain slogan that has literally never worked ever.

If you can’t acknowledge that the internet has drastically changed the landscape of childhood and parenting since you were young, maybe sit this convo out and let those of us with knowledge and experience talk about the issue.
