Nice.

Even a single parent can raise a good kid if they instill an understanding that actions have consequences and you won't always be there

True, but it should be a single parent's goal to become a joint parent.

Or at least a primary goal.

like hey "lets try to find a good step-dad"

or w/e

Yes.

people diss on stepdads, but they're good people more often than not

Stepmoms aren't necessarily bad either.

(more often you're looking for a dad is what i mean)

@Goodwood of Dank™ not a goal, but at least finding a proper role model. Youth program instructors and the like, don't try to make them part of your life, just show respect to them and make sure your kid does too. Kids just need a template

due to the "woman near always gets custody" thing

actually ye

anyone who presents themselves as a "respectable authority"

Yeah, I hear ya.

even the single parent

but more than one is always better

A good step mom can be harder to find than a good step dad

im sure it can be

but you're looking for a lot more stepdads

Because good men are more willing to be the second husband than a good woman is willing to be a second wife

Nowadays, sure. But that's more a modern thing.

Thanks to the rise in hypergamy.

i suppose i get his point though

usually with women its like "i can find a willing husband the first time, why settle"

i guess

It’s ideal when the child understands why you say no and builds a decision making compass early

want the full parenting experience or whatever

Unless said husband is quite successful.

same could be said of every candidate

being a lawyer gains a lot more cred than retail by nature

Let them be stupid, within reason. And after they've messed up ask them what whent wrong. If they can't answer than you explain why it didn't work.

Being a lawyer is a lot of stress

But ya make those fat stacks yo

as a parent, you should be willing to punish them if they do stupid shit

Seeing my dad practice law growing up is the main reason I never once considered law school

but as another note, you better damn well not punish them for things not worthy of it

fit to the crime and all thatcrap

He only became a lawyer because his dad wanted him to. And I watched him hate his job for 25yrs before he retired.

oof

better phrase

**a successful career**

You see, from around 10 I myself started watching politics and reasoning n all this. Kept me from being a bad kid for the most part. That’s why I think kids should learn WHY things are right and wrong, and the consequences involved in real life scenarios

99% of people agree

I’m not saying that that method would work for all kids

its just the parents who make such miscreants tend to be bad at implementation

Some take more time

Yep

He was still a damn good lawyer though, his main focus was wills, but he would routinely face off against the tribe lawers when they tried to screw over non tribe members who lived on the res. There was a case where they were trying to claim water rights on private land because it was within the borders of the res and he shut that shit down

lol shit that shot

They would retaliate by constantly scheduling road work right outside their driveways. Tribe lawers are literally the scum of the profession.

American or Canadian?

American

Ah. I've heard Canadian indigs can be utterly contemptable fucksticks.

we shouldve given the native americans more blankets

Come on guys

Canadian indians tend to act like gypsies.

I mean the worst sort, too.

Oreo chocolate ?

i feel like the left should be behind this

They are literally all drunks, my dad was down by a river buy a couple salmon of the gillnetters and some guy just walked up to him pulled out a meth pipe and took a hit, and then just turned to him and asked him if he wanted a hit

"one count of harassment without violence."

You'd literally have to enshrine a new definition to "harassment" to convict 'em. But that's precisely what the judge will do, more'n likely.

calling someone a nazi? hoo boy

it sounds like thousands of people are gonna get convicted

and thousands more will be convicted for commie

@Spooky Melon whatever do you mean? Commie's aren't illegal, only the "bad" ideologies are illegal

no no no

that wasnt the crime

the crime was lying about someone

Unfortunately slander is not a criminal offense

well, that sounds like what this court case would be

why is bethesda so based with how many pseudo-white supremacist characters they have in lore

How is pelinal white supremo

because he remove knife ear

Well yeah

But

Oh shit you’re right

✊

>pelinal
>talos
>both stromcloaks and imperials (despite being manipulated)
>bros of steel
>enclave

so many fascist icons tbh

**Then i found that Todd Howard (bethesda CEO) also donated to republicans! But i LOVE bethesda games! I don't want to play the next elder scrolls online with this in my mind, it kind o annoys me that i am playing something made by someone that things that i am the scum of the society for not being conservative.**

todd is pretty based

You say white supremacists, I see crusades. The only racist group I encountered was the elves, everything else was either a purely political or family matter, political groups being racially homogeneous is just accurate to the time period he is emulating

Proof it's not racist, you can join any faction despite your character creation. If it was racist than that would be a lock out point for much of the game. And you would be on rails trying to finish the now restricted set of available missions

the nords/stormcloacks are pretty racist. they just view you as an ends to a mean if youre non nord

@Ayylmao they aren't against you because of your skin or race, they just point out that you aren't Nord, and because of that you need to earn their trust because you haven't been through the ceremonies they had growing up that they view as proof of being a trustworthy Nord. If you look like a Nord they distrust you the same, giving the reason that you show no clan markings and have no knowledge of their way of life. It's not race based, it's culture

regular nord dialogue to non nords in game show they generally dont like non nords

Only the elves look down on you for not being an elf, and even if your an elf they look down on you for not being a subject of their kingdom

even humans like bretons, imperials and redqguard

@Ayylmao they don't like them because of the difference in culture, they don't like the lazy attitude towards honor. Again, it's culture not race

i dont know why you cant accept something that the game itself makes explicit

Nords keystone of culture is personal honor, the redguard are for the family, and the imperials are for the emporor and the brettons are for personal gain in spite of honor

Actions not attributes, that is what your judged on by all groups in ES

and by actions you mean barring khajit traders inside cities

barring redguards

barring mer and beastfolk and puttin them in the docks

and general harassment for bretons and imperials on nord majority cities?

>Ignorin' them Breton Knights

@Ayylmao they bar non citizens from stealing local business? For shame, how dare they put their cities own interests first
