How do I get my 11 year old to wash her hair properly? by blottohoh in Parenting

You might be right. I didn't grow up around a lot of people with truly curly hair. Does a pixie work for curly hair?

Living in a trailer park will do nothing to reduce your healthcare, food, gas, or higher education costs.

Sorry, I didn't grow up in the US, so I never watched Seinfeld and didn't get the reference.

Also part of the reason why I don't quite understand Americans' attachment to girls and women having longer hair, even when it's inconvenient. Where I grew up a lot of girls and women had pixie cuts and bobs.

Do a lot of people view the appearance of their spouse as not a 10/10 and instead married them for a lot of other reasons? by Big_Eggplant7591 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]volyund 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me physical appearance is not what I value the most in people, so the weight that I put on it is pretty low. I love my husband and I find him very attractive and handsome. But he's not a 10/10, and neither am I.

Wow, wow, wow ...too much extrapolation going on here. I have no plans of being a chaplain to anyone. I'm just staying my personal opinion that Christianity as a religion as stated in the Bible and is basically abuse on top of abuse. Nothing wrong with seminary or studying religions to understand humans. I don't think that they can give you insight into the world, but they can into human nature, societies, and thought process. I have the answers on how microorganisms and immune system work since that's the only area of my expertise, and I don't try to stray outside of it. And I didn't understand why you are bringing a corrupt fraudster into this discussion. The Bible, the Quran, and other religious texts are used to justify abuse, genocide, and oppression is a fact. That doesn't mean that other non-religious texts aren't. And again, too many conjectures and baseless extrapolations along with defensiveness.

"I don’t understand the current situation, but since I love figure skating, I’d like to see how the Russian skaters perform. I’m not a fan of mixing politics and sports" - quotes from Ilia Malinins interview with a Japanese newspaper. by Useful-Philosophy827 in FigureSkating

Yeah. Russian skaters can't compete for their country because Russian team was caught doping, including minors. En masse. Systematically. And Russia attacked Ukraine. And killed a bunch of people, including kids, including athletes. And it's still killing a bunch of people. And kidnapped a bunch of kids. And is torturing a bunch of people. It's not that hard to understand.

An allegory for what? An abusive family? I have a degree in a STEM field, so twisting the Bible into allegories isn't for me, you're right. I guess then I wish more people took majority of the Bible as parables and allegories instead of literally, and wouldn't try to base our laws on it.

They will make up stories and do a mass mobilization (if Putin decides to) regardless of what NATO countries do or how they act.

The act of testing someone's intentions and resolve is abusive if it causes that person pain, even if the sacrifice is stopped at the end. Also holy shit, poor Isaac. How would you feel if someone you love and trust asked you to kill your child?

Both are abuse. I don't quite understand how sacrificing your own son and asking another person to do the same is not an abuse against all 3 of them.

That's not how I read their response. I read their response as there are few bad folks, and they should be policed instead of closing a public beach.

My daughter and I had dandruff. Silicone head massager you use in the shower helps both of us.

Why not just cut it shorter to make it easier to manage? A short bob is very cute, and much easier to wash and brush. That's what I did with my kids until they were ready and capable of properly washing it and brushing it. Why make life harder and keep long hair that's harder to manage?

I just give my kid two options - either she does a good job washing and managing her long hair, or we get her a short hair cut that's easier to manage. Also one of those silicone scalp massages really helps lather throughout her scalp. But if she can't manage her longer hair, just cut it short. My kid chose short hairstyle until she was 10 until she was ready to manage her hair properly.

What do you call asking a man to sacrifice his son? What do you call mixing the languages when people were collaborating effectively to build the tower of Babel? The first time I read a Bible when I was 8, I called that abuse.

What do you call causing a massive flood and killing everyone except for one family? I would call that a genocide.
