Really? You should tell that to the members of the community in which I was raised. They had a different definition.

If you’re into censorship or novellas. Check out China, or Mexico. You seem to be accustomed to those sorts of things. I’m white (non-Chinese and non-Latina to make my point here). I don’t think we share the same culture where women are expected to be silent for strange men who demand it. Try moving to the Middle East, if that’s the culture you prefer. Lemmy allows free speech. I shared a post, and if you can’t handle it, advert your eyes from it. You have the freedom to censor what you view. Have you considered the v-chip for your TV, too?

He could buy new games if he hates mine. I’m the mom, not “pops” as you suggested. I know Lemmy hates straight tomboy types, so I won’t entertain anymore of your comments that follow this comment of mine.

Yeah, I guess college biology textbooks and Charles Darwin’s origin of species weren’t enough for me. I shouldn’t try to stop OP’s hint at arguing against letting people with physical disabilities breed.

Yes, I am. You don’t know me well enough to judge my mental capabilities and my ability to parent. I actually put this Wii away for about eight years to focus on my college education. I currently have earned a master’s degree in addition to bachelor’s degree in a STEM field. I also am certified to work with children in an educational setting. My fingerprints also clear with DOJ each year so I can continue to do that. That takes maturity. Attacking an internet stranger like you have done doesn’t take much maturity or education.

Also, if you think you’re a better adult than anyone else on Lemmy, then answer this: When was the last time you gave blood? Did you even try to register as a bone marrow donor? Have you tried to enlist to serve your country? When was the last time you volunteered for an organization that works for the greater good? Have you ever had to file a CPS report for a child that told you he, or she, was being abused? Hey, beat me on this one: Have you adopted or fostered a child? I have yet to do that one.

His grandmother has ruined his life and has robbed me of motherhood for nearly the past seven years. This is the final straw. All I want is dna on my kids to be added to ancestry.com after being kept from them for so long. I get that she didn’t want me to try to join the Army. She didn’t need to cut me out of my children’s lives. Now I have a Nintendo Wii thrown back at me today. If she isn’t happy with how I am now as an adult, how is her child rearing going to change to prevent that with my two kids? I wouldn’t be surprised if someone swapped my kids under her senile supervision in these past years. I seriously want dna kits taken on everyone in the family. If the kits don’t match to me, I’m suing.

No. Why did you attach a link about Creative Commons and copyright laws?

Forget the chicken. What came first, the tardigrade, or the egg? Well, in this case, I think the tardigrade would have to exist first.

First of all, it isn’t “bro”. Secondly, I’m trying to make a point that valuing the mental capabilities of people is worth mentioning, when the OP seems to dwell on the physical worth of a human. Part of the evolutionary process is long-term problem solving skills, isn’t it? We create ways to resuscitate people, cures for diseases, and solutions for other medical problems. OP insists that gives us weaker people that continue living in our society? Weaker in what regard? If all cancer is suddenly cured, then which people are weaker? I knew a girl that had an intellectual disability, but was fairly physically fit. She could run well, and walked and talked as well as most people. Would you want to encourage her to have children, while discouraging some woman with breast cancer from having children?

I think I understood OP fairly well. I just question if he wants to limit procreation amongst the disabled. Remember that Hitler wanted to do that.

I don’t think I misunderstood. You see dropping dead as your prize for losing in some type of social Darwin competition. You don’t see medical advances and life saving measures as being part of our evolution, as a species, to better survive? No offense, but regardless of how you feel about being resuscitated, some paramedic, or other first responder is still going to try to save your life. They can’t exactly stop the process and ask you for your opinion if you have no pulse, dude.

I’m sure you’ll be asking your first responder this question while he or she is in the middle of performing CPR on you, and calling for an AED, right? You’re not regretting the discovery of 30-2, are you?

Cool! The under desk drawers were really impressive!

Please don’t use my name in online comments. I appreciate your view on that, but I feel that having a shaved head is more hygienic. It also has allowed me to point out the difference in head shape and features between myself and the two individuals who raised me. It’s a family discussion that has been delayed for far too long throughout my life. When people comment about my shaved head now, I like to remind them that many people lose their hair to cancer and the rest of the world should help them to feel as though being bald is normal, too. It’s a normal hair style. Let’s start accepting it as normal. Speaking of which, have you joined National Marrow Donor Program yet?

Thank you! I was so worried he wouldn’t make it through the infection. I thought it was going to be much worse, after I first realized he was attacked by something. I’m surprised, and glad, to see how fast his face healed. He isn’t completely healed yet. His jaw bone is still heavily infected, and teeth need to be removed. It’s going to be a long summer.

One of those Harry Potter jelly beans that tastes like snot.

Thank you. He is due to have his teeth extracted in July. He has round two of amoxicillin next month, after another appointment with the veterinarian.

Every time I see a picture of this woman, I see Sarah Palin mixed with someone from a foreign country, and I can’t unsee it. There. I said it. I can’t be the only one who sees it!

And that’s about all that hotpot.ai can handle, you know?!?

I had public college softball in mind when I wrote this. They aren’t billionaires. With all of the attention that baseball and football receive, they would just appreciate the fans being there to support them in the stands, let alone the money made from ticket sales.

Seriously. Try visiting a foreign country and asking for a Pepsi. The closer you get to the equator, the more likely they don’t sell Pepsi. They have Coca-cola, though.

I guess that was their belated apology for having burned a cross on the lawn of their distant Catholic relatives. You gotta love the South.
