Do you have the stock image? That's fucking hilarious

This baby is fucking dumb as hell.
- What kind of moron can drown in two inches of water?
- Can confirm. They're all dumb AF
- The baby, is a baby. They will happily find the nearest deadly object and play with it, eat it, or lay on it.
- All babies are. It's probably just enjoying the light from the tablet, and the fact it's getting fed.
  It's why TV's are such a big thing in parenting. You can be doing everything the baby wants and likes, but put a bright screen near them and they're hooked. They'll have no fucking clue what's going on, but they'll be hooked.

A picture is worth a thousand words

Sure hope this thread doesn't devolve into hating on people who live in rural areas or the US south generally.

The thread is multiple hours old with a few comments and none of them negative. Then you come along trying to stir up controversy. Why? What kind of victim complex is this?
- No victim complex. I hadn't seen anything here that I found distasteful. I don't have a problem with the OP either. I said what I meant and nothing more. "I sure hope this thread doesn't devolve..." doesn't mean that it has or even that I expect it to. I have seen it before in this community however. Some people build up this idea in their head of the southern states being filled with hateful fascists, and they're right to a degree. Its also filled with pockets of disenfranchised and oppressed people. Maybe I'm an optimist or idealist, but that's the view I like to hold. I just like to try pushing the conversation away from attacking southern/rural people who are wholely harmed by the policies of a loud minority of bigots.
As a former Appalachian rural redneck, I can freely criticize my own. Also you couldn't pay me enough to live in the south who still widely idolizes the Confederacy and routinely votes for fascism. This is of course a perception based on the average and independent of any individual who may buck that norm.
- Nice to see some nuance. This is how you criticize the establishment powers in an area plagued by fascism.
yeah we should only allow those people to hate everyone else but no one should hate them simply for trying to make everything worse for everyone but themselves.
- I will condemn any bigot, fascist, reactionary, colonizer, and religious or ethno-nationalist.
  Believe it or not though, those people are a loud minority in many parts of the south. When you generalize people based on what region they're from, good people get caught in the crossfire.
Is it really just mindlessly hating on them when all the critiques are actual chronic issues those communities have been trying to rugsweep for actual centuries now?
Being nasty and mean about real problems doesn't make those problems any less real, it just means that person is especially disgusted by that conduct.
- I'll be the first to criticize the government and policies that have dominated the southern states for centuries. However many many people in the south don't support those governments and are harmed by those policies. Please do call out the problems - attack those in power and send a message that their conduct is unacceptable. I only ask that you don't generalize the people stuck in the region by economic conditions and a culture that's hostile to them.
