Bulldogs are also deceptively strong jumpers and great diggers. Many people have fenced their bulldog into a "secure" backyard area only to find their dog has been carousing all day while they were at work.
You know, that's probably the first time I've ever seen the concept "You owe the world something" spelled out that explicitly.
I don't care for it.
It's a common feature in (small r! important difference) classical republicanism; that one's greatest and most prime directive is to contribute meaningfully as a citizen
a large problem being, of course, things like structural unemployment and such ... but it's an ideal that on its face is interesting to think about

To cover my objections: it's not that it's a principal. It's that it's a principal quoting a judge. Meaning, we've got some judge out there who feels like this is good advice to the troubled teenagers he presides over in his court room. You know, the type of people who come from impoverished, likely abusive households, in neighbourhoods beset by the problem of bored undersupervised youth with a lack of positive role-models.
It's not advice. It's like the antithesis of advice, and it's the sort of attitude that begets most social problems and is afforded purely by privilege.
It's infuriating because it showed up on my Facebook with the whole "this is right! tough love ho" sort of attitude.

spool i feel you have a fatherly duty to explain how not to look for porn unless you want to be constantly fighting viruses and warez on your computer
Now this is some sensible advice.
Honestly, I'm not into porn so I'm a little at sea here. It's just not a thing I've done for the last 18-20 years. I know of porn, but neither where to look for the decent stuff, nor what sites to really avoid at all costs.

I feel very strongly that I have a personal duty to contribute to making the world better beyond my own sphere, even moreso because I so routinely argue that it's often not government's job.

Yeah seriously if the links were that your kid was actively visiting Brazzers, you want to explain about malware and let them know that porn (specifically that stuff) is a pretty shitty indications of sex for a lot of reasons.
You are of course gonna want to add in a shitload of stuff that is your personal parenting style, but you really should hit on those two, because the former can fuck up a computer and the latter can fuck up a kid.

I think it is very important to invest in the leisure of teenagers, however. A safe, well lit skate park, for example, can by its very existence, lower hooliganism in an area.
This judge would argue that the children aren't OWED one. Fine. Enjoy teenagers grinding on your city hall steps.

I think we all owe the world a bit, actually. Nothing we do is without consequence and a life spent not trying to at least improve the little patch of earth around us or the lot of the people we care for is a wasted experience. But that blithering fuckwit of a judge should just as well be telling people his own age that. Teens are a bit solipsistic but a) that is normal, b) many still want to pitch in as much as anyone else, and c) wanting to have fun is normal and doesn't mean someone isn't "mowing the lawn" or not looking for a job or any of that nonsense.
but, given what you guys (and girls!) know about me, are you able to make any sort of stab at what my strengths are?
I've been floundering for quite some time and have a very poorly developed sense of my skills vis-a-vis other people.
you used vis-a-vis correctly in a sentence. You are self-aware, for the most part.
You are better than 99.9% of the scrubs and troglodytes around you, by these two objective facts alone.
Yeah. Though sometimes I wonder if I go to far and am unnecessarily hard on myself.
Thank you.

I think this topic, highly voted up on r/atheism succinctly lays out my problem with that subreddit, which has nothing to do with their oath to reason.
"Hi fellow heathens! My daughter is jump roping to support the heart association thru her school. Any godless redditors interested in helping her out? If you can't afford to donate show your support with an upvote please? Thanks guys. - With love, a fellow apostate"
look how atheist I am
look at me look at me look at me
This's recently become a pet peeve of mine.
"Oh man, you're an atheist too? Cool. ...Whaddo we do now?" "I dunno, let's talk about how religion is the sole source of all Evil in the world." "Sounds cool."

you've had the same avatar since forever so...consistency?
It's all fun and games until an eyeball pops out!

That's something, I guess. Thanks.
couple tablespoons of sugar would also do the trick. Add a bit, wait 5min, taste.
Tomato based? Ehhhnn. I'd go with a sweet wine over OJ. If you don't mind making it creamy, a bit of cream will balance too
AKC agreed some years ago to start breeding a discernible snout back into pugs, and the breed standard has been amended that a snout must be visible.
Flat-faced eyeball-popping pugs should go away sooner or later.
Having all that money to spend makes the fun times I have in his city all that more devastating to his city!
Ah, giving 16 year olds keys to cars. Silly suburbs.
Also, always take life advice from me, kids. I turned out just fine!
this doesn't apply to other continents
red pepper flakes and honey go swimmingly together.

Red wine.
Drink it until you stop caring how smokey your pasta sauce is.
(or add a splash to the sauce and simmer for 10 minutes)
Adblocker + NoScript is a good start.

Right after I pull myself up by my bootstraps and make a guy downstairs make me a sandwich because I'm entitled to it.
Thus my disclaimer!

I don't see how telling teenagers to contribute meaningfully is going to get them to do it unless they're already the sort to have that attitude
And there's a reason I want to go to Kentucky
