[Video] Iran responds to Trump: "Do not call your defeat an agreement"... "You have reached a stage where you are negotiating with yourselves". in c/progressivepolitics@lemmy.world

To be clear, the US isn't fighting for anything.

This is Trump's war and his war alone.

Virtually no Americans actually wanted this war.

Americans honestly don't even consider this our war.

This is Trump's war. America didn't lose this war. Trump lost Trump's war.

I wish Iran would declare that they are going to continue to keep the straight closed until Trump himself personally travels to Iran and personally apologizes for his illegal war.

FCC approves the merger of local television owners Nexstar and Tegna in c/news@lemmy.today

Did you really read my comment and not immediately understand that it wasn't intended to stand up to strict literal scrutiny.

What could I have said that would have tipped you off that it was intended to be exaggeration?

It's funny to me how on Lemmy no statement can be ridiculous enough on its own. Someone will always reply "That's not true and doesn't align with my personal experiences!"

Researchers find major flaws in the historical clinical trials used to justify spanking. Findings indicate that alternative, non-physical strategies are just as effective at encouraging child coop... in c/science@lemmit.online

Spanking is not about discipline. It's about asserting authority. The intended message is "I'm in charge and I can and will hurt you if you don't recognize and obey my authority."

ICE at airports, is actually a good thing. (lemmy.today)
 

My take: If we can't defund ICE until we take back one of the houses of congress, then the next best thing is to give them pointless security theater jobs.

Shoving as many hired ICE agents into Airport lines is a good thing for America right now.

TSA the agency can be shut down. But the employees should be able to feed their kids.

Shockingly light punishment for speeding Mercedes driver who killed couple and their babies at SF bus stop in c/fuckcars@lemmy.ca

If, one day, it's you facing charges for a very very bad accident, you are going to be really happy that courts aren't a blood thirsty as you are.

You should consider putting your kid in Scouts (lemmy.today)
 

I'm constantly amazed that scouts isn't more popular with families. I'm a huge supporter of the whole worldwide program (particularly Scouting America and the Girl Scouts in the US).

Yes, let's all acknowledge that there were past abuses that the Boy Scouts ignored and covered up. But, primarily due to the lawsuits associated with those abuses, Scouting America has instituted a lot of really strong child protection policies that arguably make it the safest youth program anywhere.

It's a really great, comparatively cheap, program that offers amazing opportunities to kids and families.

If you find yourself having trouble making friends as an adult, I really recommend looking into it.
