The first line of my reply literally says I dont think this is what you mean, BUT …. I very clearly stated I assume that isnt exactly what the commenter meant. The rest of my comment is to clarify what the poster defined as “protection”.

If someone came up to me and asked protect something, contextually yes obviously I understand that.

That isnt the situation here. The comment chain is someone with a “hot take” on what “parents protecting children” means. It being a hot take I feel it is completely valid to put aside any assumption that the commenter is talking about “well obviously I mean protect them from x y z”. Because its a potentially unpopular hot take. It’s not a common idea in society.

Unless you can read minds it is very possible this commenter meant it literally. IE how kids are raised in the film 300. “Heres a stick. go fight a wolf kid”.

Im not writing it off. I assumed what they meant but followed up for clarification. Did you just expect replies to be “agree” or “disagree” with zero further discussion?

unless mating season was like, autumn

its a hypothetical situation

Parents jobs arent to protect their kids.

What the fuck else does that mean? If you want to believe you can read minds and assume what a person is talking about, whatever.

But if someone makes a statement, maybe take it at face value rather than “ah yes they must mean something else”

fucking idiot

The ones I am talking about don’t move under their own weight and gravity. If you held it with the cap upwards, it doesn’t rotate downwards unless you do it yourself

hence why getting hit in the face and struggling with a little cap is so puzzling to me

less knife friendly

Most places are advanced enough to not require their citizens to carry weaponry.

needing to always be armed is a uniquely american problem

Does america have terrible bottle designs or something? Not one single bottle with tethered cap has ever freely spun, you can move it and it stays in that position

Parents jobs arent to protect their kids

I get you don’t mean this so broadly but you lose all nuance with this statement.

Protect them from every minor mistake or risk that could ever possibly happen, and smothering them? Sure.

Someone about to stab your kid? Protect them from predators? Protect them from various risks and hazards in life which every parent should be teaching them?

• dont get into strangers cars
• dont let strangers into the house
• look both ways when crossing the road

what i think when people struggle with the cap hitting their face

its the default for all reddit/lemmy/other style platforms. The default assumption is of course everyone (in general) will upvote their own post. So setting it by default no one gets an advantage.

and what you’re asking for is a disadvantage to your posts

barcode on your taint

please tell me more

Cat reasoning? “Cause fuck you thats why. Now pick it up the place is a mess. Fuck you”

I get it but specifically with alcohol. For example having a very bad, messy night on scotch- just smelling it will now cause me to heave at least.

My soul has been sucked out. But you forgot to mention your soul is also replaced with coffee.

And your blood

I am a software engineer. Coffee goes in, code comes out

I would feel better about america, as a non american, if the country on the whole would accept they aren’t the only country in the world, and didn’t continuously consider themselves the greatest. Actually acknowledge their history and the atrocities committed to get it to where it is today.

Have some god damn humility

Handbrake was my goto, unsure if its still recommended

The joke is that the guy spent his entire life savings on … this

americans dont seem to understand there is an entire world outside of their country
