It is a tough situation, because yes it makes complete sense to say “I cant stop them, but I can ensure their safety” since we know abstinence is a pipe dream, but its also not fair to say your ideas on how to parent supersede another parents. Hell this could even be a teaching moment for your child by explaining this in full candor with them so they understand your concerns with the request and why you made the decision you made, it can be helpful for them to understand that just because other people do things in a way you don’t agree with, doesn’t give you the right to force your ways on them, a lesson in desperate need across the world lately.

All these takes going against this advice feel like we might be being astroturfed by an army of horny preteens trying to manipulate their millennial parents lolol.

I had a friend who ran away from an abusive home

Can we agree “I want to talk to her parents before u fuck their daughter in our house and with our knowledge”, is so far from an abusive home scenario that they are in different solar systems?

I am all for trust, but in this scenario we are discussing the honesty of a teenage male trying to get laid, and I wasn’t born yesterday, and I was him at one point. The downside of “Your son violated my little girl in your house and you knew about it!!!” is quite high to let trust take the wheel, especially when all you had to do was ask your son to have her parents call you.

This meme format never shows a scenario that isn’t made up anymore.

idk what to tell you, but that is what that number means. Here is mine, you can see it shows a 1 as ive only ever made 1 post, and not a 3 for the number of points on my only post. Also im not sure this applies to other lemmy instances, might just be a lemm.ee thing.

that’s number of comments, not total points.

Do you know any regular people? Most people I know have never even heard the word fediverse.

Lefty Batman is inherently contradictory too. Because a real leftist Batman would use his money to fix the systemic problems of Gotham, and are you still really Batman if you’re not out beating the shit out of poor mentally ill people?

Or you could make the argument that Batman solves his problems with violence, in which case Luigi is fucking literally Lefty Batman for targeting a person far closer to the problem than Batman ever normally would.

So thats on me, I said “does nothing to change our two party system” when I should have said “does nothing to remove our two party system”. All this does is concentrate power into the democrats which if they had no worry of winning elections would very quickly openly turn into the Billionaire Boot Licking Society overnight. We need more political parties.

All this being said I’m not arguing against removing the electoral college, it needs to die. But Americas problems run so much deeper than the GOP

Removing the electoral college does nothing to change our two party system so I don’t understand why you think it solves billionaire class rule.
