The whole thing sounded to me like a smokescreen for, "We fucked up, and we shouldn't have banned talking about it in the first place. We talked about it and banning it was a bad decision that we briefly doubled down on."

I mean... Yeah.

When there's a viable third party candidate, sure.

Otherwise - yes, it is a vote against your own interests. Hi, I'm one of those who pointed out its just a vote for trump in this past election. It was true then, its still true now. You don't start during the presidential election season, or you're just a grifter.

You push for 3rd party in local and state elections and get viable candidates.

Jill Stein is still nothing more than a piece of trash grifter.

Required? No.

Able to? Yes!

Tis the season after all!

No, its because who you are and what you enjoy is limited by context. If there is something they enjoy or imagine enjoying, helping them explore that is, IMO, part of a parent's responsibilities.

You're giving them the opportunity to find out who they are.

I'd say most people think a wasted vote in a contentious election with a racist, rapist, fascist who wants to end democracy is stupid.

If you were to say, I don't know, be working with local parties at the town, city, and state level to grow them and get them into positions, making them viable for the presidency down the road - not stupid! Awesome, in fact.

Telling people vote for a 3rd party in this presidential election?

Stupid. Very, very stupid. Yes, it will be frowned upon. Because its stupid. And people should be telling you how stupid it is. Because it is.

Good.

The green party is not a party for good. Jill Stein has no intention of trying to further the supposed goals of the green party.

Their intention - admitted to, on microphone, at an event, by their own people - is purely to give trump the presidency.

The green party is dogshit.

I'm not sure you should have a Lowe's Associate as a legal advisor.

Here's Home Depot covering it

The relevant text:

Corded blinds are dangerous to children and pets. Roughly one child per month dies from blind cord strangulation, and more than 600 children per year are injured. That's nearly an average of 2 preventable injuries to a child per day. Between 1990 and 2015, more than 16,000 children were injured.

New Voluntary Standards

• The Window Covering Manufacturers Association decided safer standards in January 2018.
• Manufacturers adopted the new standard on cordless blinds in December 2018.
• In 2019, all standard model window blinds were expected to be cordless.

Cordless Blinds & Law

• Corded blinds are not regulated under state or federal legislation.
• New, safer guidelines allow for cords on custom-made coverings.
• Per WCMA standards, custom cords should not be longer than 40% of the window height.

I spent $10 at the door to see Deftones (mid 90s or so?), a friends band was opening for them.

I want to point out, this was after adrenaline, so they weren't an unknown here - they were headlining. Now its about $200 for the same venue (just checked).

$10 in 1995 is $20 today for inflation. That $200 ticket would be $100 in 1995. There is no way I would have paid $100 in 1995 to see my friends OK band, even opening for the Deftones.

I think you're absolutely right. I don't know that I will ever even be in a realistic position to take my daughter to go see Taylor Swift without it being a huge birthday present or something.

They also went to the kids house and investigated, but they didn't have proof of anything that would meet any criteria for arrest, yeah.

So they discussed with the parents, discussed with the school, discussed with the police, etc. I can't say I blame the FBI here for what they were able to do based on anonymous reports about comments made online. I wouldn't feel comfortable with giving any federal agency just free reign to arrest on anonymous reports alone, that's just opening a new form of swatting to me.

But clearly, its not enough, and that's the issue. For example, restricting the access to guns would have been good. Restricting access on a larger scale would be better.

Instead... We have two teachers and two 14yr old kids dead.

Precisely what this is, with the added benefit (to the company) of being used as a prayer room or other various employee needs.

Converting storage to these private/meditation/wellness (corporation dependant branding for them) rooms has been very common.

How often people are wrongly convicted is the only reason I need to not want the death penalty to be used.

It is?

I've heard "spill the beans", but never "spill the tea".
