provide free transportation
I’m totally on board with this.
I like American music. Do you like American music? I like American music, too, baby.

Any higher on marriage would be antinatalist, but I’m willing to go higher on driving for sure.
The post topic is “hot takes”, so my “always curtail driving” position is technically on-topic for the larger thread. ;]
Only because you think sex is dirty, because you were stigmatized against talking about it at that age.
I don’t follow your argument about sex ed and consent.
Sex ed should start as soon as kids can talk, to keep it from being stigmatized and to prevent predation. There is no need to wait until a child reaches sexual maturity for that; in fact, at that point it is too late.
As to driving, most people shouldn’t be driving, period. We are, in general, not good at it. Leave it to the professionals.
I worked long before I could legally enter contracts. Only one of my jobs has had an employment contract.
I agree with your point that many reach maturity before 25 or even 18, however I don’t think enabling those fortunate few is worth stripping the protections of minority from the rest.
Drinking, driving, smoking, voting, consent, ability to enter contracts including marriage, joining the military:
Raise it all to 25 and be done with it. At 25 you’re an adult, before that your body and brain are still developing.
Last week, my five-year-old hit some litter at full speed and flipped over the handlebars of his scooter.
When I didn’t, I would walk three blocks to the library with my laptop once a day to check my email, read webcomics, look up GameFAQs and stream Gossip Girl.
Maybe the “GameFAQs” gives it away but this was before smartphones.
I’ve seen a few blogs with “Don’t comment to say you didn’t like the article, Doug” as a rule.
I love it, and that’s why I want to improve it. And you can’t fix a problem without acknowledging it exists.
I got a waterproof case, so I use mine as a coaster.
Same, on a vertical spike.
My mom made this spinach and cheese casserole that I loved so much I’d ask for it instead of birthday cake.
My dad’s mom, her green beans side. They were blanched and then lightly pickled, then heated up in the brine and drained before serving. No additional seasonjng needed. Also her pigs-inna-blanket. I know a lot of people think of sausages for this dish, but she did it the Dutch way, with spiced pork minced completely enclosed in a puff pastry.
My mom’s mom didn’t cook much and when she did it was standard English cuisine. But she loved icecream and made a mean banana split.
I’ve been on MetroPCS for most of a decade and have no complaints. Two lines, unlimited everything, $50/month.
If you’re going to ask a question to everyone and also answer it, the best practice is to put your own answer as a comment, rather than in the textbox.
To answer the question:
True, there’s been trouble and trickery, sir
Trembling and tribulations
Twitches from switches of hickory, sir
You, sir, and your usurpations
But my patience wears very thin
When you play the violin
from “When You Play the Violin” by the Gothic Archies. It’s not emotionally resonant, I just love the wordplay.
For me, it always faded with time. Usually about a year and a half after my last relationship ended.
Close enough, though “doors” is one syllable when I say it. Definitely not even a slant rhyme, though.
Don’t speak for me, thanks.
My position is “let kids be kids” or maybe more like “let students be students”. We expect a college degree for most jobs these days, so if it’s a requirement let’s, as a society, act like it and prioritize their potential for growth while they have it.
