Nothing in life is black and white, we do agree on that, but when our child comes to ask who should they trust, we would say: any social worker such as a police officer, fireman, medic, social worker, anyone you can find. If you can’t find anyone then go to a big store and tell them your lost or need help. Overall would make sure they remover our number or at least where we live (on a map) similar to how our dad was with us.
As for the little things, well they’re going to ask you a lot of questions!! And the joy is to help guide them to an answer, help them discover a solution, make it fun for them to learn and discover!
Do you have satellite TV/antenna? Then look up and research and read all about it with them! Show them what an satellite attena/normal attena looks like and point to the satellites above among the stars! Look up the satellites, there are public maps, make a weekend trip to the local science center/museum and they might even have a satellite on display, or better yet more fantastic things for them to ask questions!
If you have wired tv, the same process! Talk about how light works and how we found ways to make glass send signals! How those signals are sent and more and more! They’ll get more and more curious about the world and its wonders and want to learn more and more about it!
Shrugging it off and giving an half assed answer imo isn’t lying, it’s neglecting the question and their curiosity. We want our child to ask as many questions- more than we can answer!! Make them curious to their fingertips and go to the library with us and read all the books they can ever want. Grow up curious hungry for answers, and show them how wonderful our world is!

We didn’t mean that to sound positive, in our opinion, checks are pretty out dated. Even the last few jobs we had required us to have a bank account since they don’t do checks either.
It’s definitely inefficient, but the banks don’t get hurt so we doubt they’re going to improve anything.

Idk, there’s just quick checks, ig banks just trust ya 🤷♀️

Fair, our parents kinda pushed us to believe, but we never believed it in the first place.

Yes it’s a scam, they probably want you to buy something right? They’re going to try and send you a fake check, in which they will ask you to digitally cash it in so it doesn’t go through a teller. The check doesn’t actually get checked by anyone due a couple days so you would have effectively stolen money. Then once they convince you to buy something for yourself and/or for themselves they basically fuck off then the bank would be like hey that check wasn’t real, instead of reporting you/done this is the first time we’ll just charge your account for the check.
If your still adamant on them being real, take the check to a teller at the bank. Make sure the check is physical. Make sure the sender it matches their name and the bank is actually real (by the routing numbers not the logo on it)

Yeah, more than likely a very religious/abusive household.
- Comment on Anon ruins christmas 3 days ago:
Yes, we also fund it very fucked up to lie to a kid about how some random ass guy is stalking your every move to determine if your a good or bad person and thats the determination if having presents or nothing at all.
However, its not our place to tell other parent’s kids that Santa isn’t real, and telling our kid its just a popular character would be not only the truth but also easier for them to explain. Like a mascot of some sort yk?
- Comment on Anon ruins christmas 4 days ago:
That’s very true, we never believed in Christmas/religion but never spoiled/ruined it for others, it was their enjoyment.
Granted when we have a kid, we don’t think we’ll be telling them that “Santa is just a famous character of Christmas, and some people have fun believing he’s real, so don’t ruin their fun either” or something like that. Still have plenty of years to think of how to word it better lol :P

Uhm… no? It’s used to burn crystal drugs to smoke them or something. It’s sadly common in southern states.

Bro stopped using his brain and a little brain work started squatting. Instead of getting kicked out he just asks the little brain worm things and it whispers in his ear. He calls the worm ChatGPT even though his name is Gerald Fornesworth Roosevelt Brillington the 7th, he thought it would be fine with his host giving him a nick name, even if it was super stupid.

Neither did… well the K-12 education was paid, but it wasn’t the best of qualities. Having to relearn a lot of history and economics in EU now lol.
Also off topic; was gonna say US had a specific year for when education was free but checking the history, it was really spotty when implemented and heavily disorganized. Aaaand wow found out California broke a treaty against Mexico in 1998 with Proposition 227, where it’s illegal for teachers to speak Spanish (ir any other bilingual language) in public schools. It was heavily lobbied by Californian multimillionaire Ron Unz. We don’t know if that still holds up, cuz what if the kids only speak Spanish?? Or its Spanish class??? Or the teacher is Spanish themself and are trying to find the right words to something and are like ¿cómo se llama esto? faaaahhhh”???
Anyways USA only has the education part and it’s spotty af lol

Ok but here’s the thing… you can regicide the price of the union with the company and hand the company pay for most of your union dues and realistically 700/year isn’t bad for job security, higher wages, better hours and better benefits aswell as various other things that not being in a union would be impossible. This union busting is madly illegal and really fucked up. Hate US companies

We just like how the “un fair taxes” they teach is actually way lower than the taxes US citizens have now adays.
- Comment on I used to be an uber eats driver and lowkey 2 weeks ago:
Heavily agree!
But in the USA they don’t, so that’s why we don’t live there anymore and why we don’t do that kind of work anymore either

As a past door dash driver, tips should be upfront and unchangeable. It’s ridiculous how many times we’re get a big order and then never tipped

- Comment on Nice 3 weeks ago:
People using religion to justify murder is horrible and an easy way to welcome a lot of slander to their religious community. Though if the religion states that they need to murder, then that feels more like a cult than a religion. Though there’s probably a better term idk what it would be.

The 97 minute make out and soft porn cutscene with Drat in the tent during the North peak battle was peak, though I think they just reuse the thrusting mechanics from the sex scene. Darts super gay and wants it, but he gets shot by a stray arrow while looking for olive oil and you have to do a mandatory mourning quest. Real tear jerker, but you do get to meet the sexy Riddler Barley at the funeral

And when we mean gay, like make it REALLY wet and sloppy kind of gay, yk? The kinda gay that it even embarrasses the queerest of queens.

Right is the way the inventor intended it to be reloaded + it’s easier to access.
Left is the way parents and pet owners need to reload it + it’s harder to unroll by accident (or by purpose) good number of times.
Out of frame on the toilet basin/counter is the way people who don’t have a tp holder or don’t care to refill it put it.

Even if they were, their religion has no causation to them being bad people.
