Wow that’s subtle. Good catch

Let’s not also forget cerebrospinal fluid or the juice in your eyeballs! And of course pus.

This take is funny AF as an aero astro engineering PhD because, no, you don’t graduate as a flat earther. People are not rational, as exhibited by the fact that you’re super jazzed to provide turndown service to high school kids to bang it out all night long in your house and you think it’s an A+ idea.

Go think about your life bro. Your shit is fucked up.

Weird non sequitur. Maybe you can bring the fatal crash rate for teens vs failure rate for condoms? There’s no substance here to reply to, and I have covered most of these in other comments in the thread. If you want to show a stat that shows you’re more likely to die as a teen in a fatal car accident than you are to have a pregnancy with a condom, I’m listening.

??? I had sex and told my parents. They didn’t do me a solid and say “hey, your room is clean, come home and shack up, it’ll be safe and I know you’d like a place to do it”. There’s a difference between prohibiting sex and giving the wink and sending them up to bed. Nobody is saying they gotta hide it, just that you don’t have to turn down the bed either.

You can be a resource to kids and also just not give them whatever they want, even without estranging them.

Kids that have the presence of mind to ask this question are not raw dogging at the state fair. Getting to that stage is the good parenting part. You can even buy the condoms as a parent if you want. But that doesn’t mean you provide turn down service, mints, and send them up to bed after dinner.

Would you agree that it is still poorly advised to buy them a six pack every time they clean their room?

You don’t have to say “Aw jeez, teen boys only wanna slam. I better make sure he gets all his jollies at home”. Kids will figure out a way, but there’s a lot of room for interpretation between “It’s thursday, bring sally over and get it on,” and “Jimmy got caught with sally under the overpass”.

That is a false dichotomy. You don’t have to be a direct obstacle for sex or learning to be a person. You can be a realist about it.

So first, this is parent of a guy. This means if GF gets pregnant, you do not know what is going to happen. That’s a life altering thing. This should be a huge consideration, and it’s not a consideration that a horny 17 year old guy has a really profound perspective on. I remember what that was like, and that was the year I lost my virginity as well.

There are 3 choices not 2, and it’s easier to analogize to alcohol, but it’s transferable. I don’t want to write a novel on mobile.

A) You are the house where your kid learns about alcohol. There is a safe environment and one time you buy a sixer and let them see what it’s like to drink them. This is very sane.

B) You are the house where your kid (and their friends) underage drink. This is irresponsible. You do not need to provide alcohol to teenagers whenever they clean their room or whatever. “OH they are going to drink anyway, so let’s be safe!” Yo… that’s a nonsense argument. You be the parents that go make pickups from any place, at any time no questions asked. THAT is sane. Providing alcohol to your kids, or looking the other way when they drink on the regular is fucking nuts. That is what the comment I replied to sounds like. “You cleaned your room, sure, bring your gf over and bang her brains out. Good work champ.”. Are you kidding me?

C) You are the house where booze is not allowed. You pour all the alcohol out in your house because you have a teenager. Your cabinets are locked. Whenever your kid is home and friends come over, you draw lines on the liquor bottles. You bust out your portable breathalyzer and you make the kids blow before bed and when they wake up. This is also totally insane. This is how your kids go out and make bad mistakes.

Your kids can (and will) have sex in your house without facilitating sleepovers, lol. You can be a safe harbor for discussion and mistakes without just serving up sexy time or any other vice in the name of being “approachable and safe”.

She sleeps in a different room, but sure she can come. And there will be checks that people go to sleep, stay asleep, and wake up in the beds they start in.

Sex happens. Sex is fun. As a parent, acknowledging that is normal. Having good talks is normal, running a hookup hotel for a high schooler is ABSOLUTELY NOT normal. The consequences of mistakes are high. Expect it to happen and explain the risks, but that doesn’t mean you should make it easy.

I think the answer is still no.

Have those talks of course. The sex is going to happen around that age, but as a parent it is still not your job to make it easy, yeah? This is facilitating that situation. You can raise a reasonable person but still acknowledge that some things just aren’t a good idea.

This reads to me like if the same situation were presented and so says “can my friends and I have a bottle of vodka at the lan party tonight”. SURE it’s important to talk to kids about this and maybe even let them figure out what to expect in a controlled setting, but the consequences of mistakes are still VERY HIGH. There is a difference between being reasonable / acknowledging reality, and being a facilitator.

No?

It’s not like you need to know how to write processor code to format an image or make an excel sheet. You may still be obliged to know more than run a touch screen though.

That’s a cataclysm. Capitalism is a criminal act conducted with computers and resulting in violence, destruction, or death of targets in an effort to scare people and coerce a government to alter it’s policies.

I don’t see it.

I’m excited to see if I can channel. Of course, the reds will try to kill me if I succeed… but still worth a shot!

So where do I go raise hell with my reddit accounts that have not yet been banned? Automod seems to catch me fast at high pop subs for posts… But maybe the answer is making comments. Idk.

Pretty weak 10. Pick one or two and make a compelling article, I’m already trying to quit. We don’t have to make up stuff like “JFC nuclear power!?”

Flipping off*. You can flick off boogers, but you flip the bird.

You can fellate Winnie the Pooh on your own time. It comes with its own whole set of problems.

Edit: Come at me tankies. You’re morons for giving a single dollar to the CCP.
