Two things can be true. Still shouldn’t hold a teenager wholly responsible for being scammed.

That’s the point. We should not make our children feel bad for not knowing better when we ourselves aren’t doing any better. Show some fucking empathy instead of saying you’re shit out of luck.

I do get therapy, thanks for the concern random stranger. I hope the same is true for you and that you understand that just because bad things happened to you doesn’t mean we should give such things a free pass and make ourselves emotionally unavailable to empathize with our children.

Amazing parenting to let them hurt themselves and their friends because you couldn’t educate them well enough to avoid a scam.

Edit: I am not saying the parent should have educated the child better, I am just saying when you go down this path of “well you should have known better” then the responsibility is on the parents to teach the kids better.

Exhibit A for why everyone needs therapy. I guess it’s little consolation that people reap what they sow.

You know what’s also a learning experience? Getting mugged. I hope you learn compassion before you learn that lesson.

Fuck that. Saying empires are inevitable is a lot like saying fascism is inevitable. Maybe it’s true but you shouldn’t identify with the thing and make it’s purpose your own

And to think I saw this picture for the first time because she wants us to stop talking about it

Honestly it helps me understand what kind of peace you are talking about. Property is a very personal thing for people because of the lack of peace. But consider me awake and listening. Any book or media recommendations?

You talk of peace but leave out justice because violence is how laws are enforced. Wake me up when you start preaching that private property is violence because until then this is just hypocrisy.

Liberals: I can fix that voter, I just need to find the right logic combo in my persuasion.

Also Liberals: if voters were rational they would vote for the lesser evil.

Keep lecturing people, I am sure it will work this time around.

Or it could be that the Democrats are so unpopular that a billion dollars can’t win them an election. No, you’re right, it’s because of Russia the Democrats failed to communicate their platform effectively.

Say the same to yourself bud. How many more people need to die before you realize the system is the problem, not the people voting. Because it seems y’all only care when it’s Americans that die.

What I find interesting is how we abstract away the actual work needed to keep either scenario running reflects how billionaires justify their own extremes. The heat death being a most extreme example as there is no “spare” energy for other organism to be conscious. The uploaded consciousness is detached from reality, living in a dieing universe, and still insists it has a right to exist at the cost of new venues of consciousness.

We can probably simulate a snail but me killing that wouldn’t make my wife scream at me for killing a snail.

Person unaffected by past bad decisions doesn’t see how that’s a problem.

This is why we should lock down the OS to prevent people from creating databases of people. There are so many applications out there asking for people’s DOB and that’s because we let people just install whatever app they want. There’s absolutely no positive use case for that.

To be clear, the punishment wasn’t him loosing 2B, he wouldn’t even notice the difference. The punishment was being told he was wrong by a jury of his “peers”.

Yes, so you should ask for a big discount.

Or dispose of evidence.
