  5. Parental involvement is a sanguine spin on parental control. If you have a good relationship with your teenager, they will involve you, if you don’t, they won’t. Parents wanting the government to mandate notification of their teenagers choices want control, not involvement.

  10. Every year at the start of the offseason I tell myself to not buy the offseason BS. Some random poster that washes Bijan’s jock strap: “This team just leveled up” …and I just chose to believe him.

  11. Jesus. I bet your wife only listens to five percent of the blather that comes out of your mouth. How about trying something new - let women have opinions about what happens to their bodies without feeling the need to bore everyone with your irrelevant opinion? Give that a go. Shutting the fuck up is usually the best path for men who feel the need to spew their toxic “daddy knows best” horseshit.

  12. I'm a parent but disagree with these parental permission restrictions. When I was 15, I had something bad happen to me and if I had needed an abortion (luckily it turns out I didn't), and had to get permission from my parents, I simply wouldn't be here today. I remember that time well, and planning suicide over having to inform my folks. You can have empathy for that or not, but there are a lot of fucked up family situations and things that happen in life, especially to females. If you have a good relationship with your kids, they're gonna come to you anyway.

  13. A woman in Texas last month was reported BY HER HOSPITAL NURSE to the police who arrested her under suspicion of getting an abortion. The police went on to arrest and process a woman WHO JUST MISCARRIED into the local jail. The only reason the woman was released from custody and the MURDER charges were dropped is because the state law specifically prohibited what the police did. But the police still did it. The hospital still violated that woman's rights to healthcare privacy under HIPAA. The woman was still treated like a criminal. You're lying to yourself if you don't think women aren't going to be denied care and criminalized for seeking care after a miscarriage. It's already happened. And denying that is only going to give cover to the next time it happens.

  14. Boomers could raise a family & own a home on one salary. Also next to nothing in student debt if they went to college. Most entitled, selfish generation in history. Only generation to have it better than their parents & kid. They got handed the country on a golden platter & still fucking complain.

  15. Are you serious? Do you think there’s a bunch of women waltzing up to abortion clinics at 33 weeks pregnant getting abortions because they just really can’t hold out any longer without a margarita? And do you think there’s a huge volume of people that support abortion rights because they want to conjure that into reality? 93 percent of abortions are performed at or before 13 weeks from gestation - so not even from finding out one is pregnant, not even from conception; we’re talking likely just a few weeks after the single most life altering revelation you can have - and 99 percent are performed at or before 20 weeks. The status quo was fine. Contemporary identification as pro choice essentially means being against going backwards. Myriad public surveys back this up. FOX News is a hell of a drug. Goddamn.

  16. The biggest problem is entitled millennials always wanting more money, not the fact that wages have basically stagnated for 30 years and inflation hasn’t so everything costs more. Avocado toast!

  18. Yes, because it should make the white kids uncomfortable about the past. it sure as shit makes me uncomfortable. And sad, and upset. we as a country love to rub other countries’ histories in their faces. But looking inward at our own past actions and inactions isn’t acceptable to a decent chunk of us.

  19. My ex-wife miscarried 3 times; it was a big contributor to our divorce. The mental and emotional strain of going through this once was brutal; three times was unbearable. If we'd have had to go to court each time to "prove her innocence", I'd might have gone on a murder spree. All these right-wing cunts can go to hell.

  20. You're right. I care much more about the reproductive rights, health, and general welfare of young people than I do about the condescending and paternalistic feelings of anti-abortion parents.

  24. I think some of it was best guesses. If the issue is breathing, then you try to avoid things that inhibit breathing. But if your brain is missing the part the trigger that says, "Wake up, you're not breathing!" keeping things out of the crib that would inhibit breathing are a good idea. Way back when I was a kid I stayed with a local babysitter a lot. One of the kids she was keeping died of SIDS. I was pre-school, but I could feel the trauma surrounding that. You could see the aura of guilt around the babysitter. Hopefully this saves a lot of babies, and brings some small measure of comfort to those affected. What a win for science.

  26. @Anastasis knows what it's like to raise his teenage daughter. I know what it's like to raise two of them. I don't know what it's like to raise his, or vice versa, although I'm sure there is substantial overlap, given our relatively similar economic backgrounds, schools, etc. I sure as shit don't know what it's like to be a single mom raising a teenage daughter, and hey, maybe that daughter is a mom herself, with everyone in low-income housing. Snapshots aren't total perspective. Some men struggle with that concept.

  28. Hey guy who's just shown up and clearly missed the dozens if not hundreds of posts the past couple hundred or so pages that detail how the western countries offering the weapons are training Ukranians in Germany, Poland, and other nearby countries. Does that help? Or did you just assume they were sending in highly advanced weaponry with a note that says "Good luck!" and was signed with a lipstick kiss?

  29. What Texas did is worse. They made it a civil statute and people can be sued by whistleblowers. A woman who was actively miscarrying had to take a flight to Colorado for medical care because no one in Texas would help her because of this new law.What Texas did is worse.

  30. You are a sad sad man. I hope you are able to heal the gaping void in your soul someday. As the above so aptly demonstrates, some parents are bad people, and sometimes children of those bad people need the freedom to make decisions about their body/lives without notice or consent from those bad people.

  31. I think most people have no idea how many pregnancies never come to term. It’s something people are reluctant to talk about. Religious conservatives want to declare that a microscopic speck of goo is a person when a significant percentage of them will never survive to childbirth. It’s a fact that if you don’t abort your fetus after six weeks then some of them will die anyway. I get it, Talibaptists, you think that’s okay because it’s “God’s will.” Grow up and get out of the Dark Ages. Please.

  32. It's always about control. Parental notification, spousal notification, rapist notification; it's just a means to force women to ask for permission from a man.

  33. If a teenage girl wants to get an abortion, chances are, her parents are NOT who she is going to go talk to. Further, not all teenagers have good relationships with their parents. Or, nightmare scenario, what if the parent is the source of the reason she needs to have an abortion to begin with?!? I had a friend who was still 17 when we took her for an abortion. She had a rocky relationship with her dad (her mom was dead) as he was an alcoholic and verbally abusive. He kicked her out of his house for having sex, when the sex she was having was trying to figure out if she was a lesbian (FYI, she is). She ended up pregnant, and she was living at our house because my parents took her. If parental notification had been in place (this was in the mid 90's), it is highly probable that her dad would have stopped her and the abuse might have turned physical. It was a shit situation, and she agonized over it. This was something she could not go to her remaining parent with. She came to her friends, and we advised her. She was too young to bring a child into the world, especially given her confusion around sexual preference. I have not caught up with her in a decade, but I know last time I spoke to her, she believes it was the best decision she could have made and she was grateful we all supported her. TL/DR Parental notification is pretty shitty for a lot of girls because of bad situations at home. If you have a good relationship with your kid, great. But don't put that on others who do not have that benefit.

  34. So, as already mentioned, Ricardo Vega is majority owner of Lamborghini Austin (confirmed here, fourth paragraph). Tried to dig into him through the usual avenues, dude is a fucking GHOST. Only thing I think I've pinned is that his name might actually be Ricardo Antonio Vega Serrador. He doesn't show up in public records, no real estate owned is his name, no social media presence I can find beyond LinkedIn, etc. The house mentioned in the article linked above, and his Lambo and Ferrari dealerships, are all owned by different entities -- none of which he has any public association with. Though based on the associations that can be dug up (registered agents, officers, affiliated entities, etc.), there is a strong link to San Antonio. Then there is Bruce Knox, the co-owner and managing partner of Lamborghini Austin (link here) and former Executive Vice President of Circuit of the Americas (link). Knox was "installed into the [COTA] project by minor investor Red McCombs" (link) as President and CEO of Formula United States starting in 2011. At that time, he was also CEO of McCombs Partners (link). He got his foot in the door with McCombs Partners when back in 2005 when it acquired a company that Knox was CEO and co-founder of (Interactive Remarketing). Someone upthread mentioned Red might be throwing money around with one foot in the grave, this seems like a connection that could be done through.
