I didn’t say the kid suffered?

It’s a shitty spot for bio-dad to be in. Kid may see it for what it is and may not. If I were the dad I simply wouldn’t put myself in that sitatution. They can go enjoy their vacation and I’d spend the time with my son after.

Why did you assume I was talking about the dad?

You know a whole lot of parents don’t love their kids and don’t want to spend time with them, right?

I’d absolutely assume mom & new dad would have several romantic dinners and activites alone while bio-dad entertained his kid.

edit; oh I see someone grew up in a loving household and assumes they’re all like that

I haven’t run into that particular issue (I wish I could replace some old ones) but we stream back to a Linux box and then out to cloud storage for archival purposes so maybe we aren’t hitting the onboard stuff as hard.

edit: the primary reason we deal with axis is because they’re extremely configurable/fixable remotely

Axis makes good (the best) IP cams, I use them commercially, they’re pretty much the gold standard. Super fucking expensive though so probably not worth it for home use but you might be able to pick up something 2nd hand.

Why wouldn’t they try? They’ve done everything they could so far and face no repercussions, why not go ahead and try to be king? A few people will fret and tut-tut but if nobody is going to do anything it doesn’t amount to much.

Beehaw is a bit fragile. They’ll remove any comment they don’t like if it offends their current sensibilities.

Yeah I’m familiar with the reddit argument I just think it’s half the story. It was written by a husband and wife but you clearly have an axe to grind so go off king.

Have a nice night.

Because in the context of the song, she’s saying she wants to stay. I’ve never seen the movie you’re talking about so maybe it was played differently there but when the song was released it was obviously a duet between two people who wanted to “do stuff” but were unable to due to norms and societies judgement.

Why are you so insistent on portraying the woman as a victim and the man as rapist when that’s clearly not what was intended?

When people consume media it’s important to have context. Short-sighted inability to contextualize anything outside of our current standards doesn’t help anyone at all and actually makes understanding and moving forward more difficult.

If you’re saying the standards of the time make it acceptable, I say that reflects really badly on the standards of the time. By the standards of the time, black people had fewer rights than white men. I hope to fuck we can improve upon the standards of the 1940s.

The standards were quite different that’s for sure. That’s why it’s important to understand that it was a different era. An unmarried woman willingly staying with a man was destroying her reputation at that time even if she wanted to.

Actually there weren’t any “rapey” elements at the time. They’re only there when viewed through a modern lense, completely ignoring the culture and standards of the time.

$600 gets you 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. You can get better hardware for less.

Why care when we talk about desktops?

Because it’s $600 and velcroing an external HDD to a nice new sleek piece of hardware makes it look ugly. Typical Apple bullshit, I’m surprised they didn’t develop another proprietary connector.

I don’t scowl at the guy in the white Lambo I see sometimes. I don’t frown when a Porsche flies past me on the interstate. Shit, even a brand new Corvette will get a “nice!” from me. If it were jealousy I’d hate all kinds of people.

Cybertrucks are just horribly ugly. So ugly it assaults your senses, I can’t help but think “oh that car hasn’t finished rendering” every time.

And up to the first knuckle, you don’t have to jam soap up there but wash your nasty ass if you expect anyone to not gag when they get near your crotch.

Some of yall are nasty.

I was a pack per day for almost 20 years. Switched to vapes 5+ years ago and stepped down the % and then stopped just like you. Haven’t had a smoke/vape in probably 2 years at this point. I still get a craving now and then but it passes, fuck cigarettes and paying lying tobacco companies to kill me.

They don’t see anyone they perceive as “lesser” than them as people; and they think they’re better than a whole lotta people.

How much did the stunt really cost though? A couple articles and swapping out some labels can’t be that much.

We’ve all thought about it.

Not uncommon at all to find religious BS in those little libraries. I haven’t come across any porn yet
