The Lounge 10k Post Edition

I also see some comments from people saying to put the parents of those lowlifes on trial too… and that’s one thing I tend to disagree with. It seems a lot of people have this idea that whenever there’s kids doing shitty, evil things… it is 100% the parents’ fault. I don’t think that’s the case all the time… this is getting to something I don’t think most people want to admit— that some people in their childhood are just naturally bad, evil people…and this can be despite the best efforts of good or even halfway decent parent(s). Sociopaths aren’t just suddenly that way once they hit adulthood… usually they were shitty even when they were in grade-school. Like any other kid, some parental figures taught them right from wrong, so they know that shit…and by definition of what they are…they simply DON’T CARE.

I think we’ve all seen examples of this (usually in the form of your average grade-school bully) first-hand but some of us apparently forget it. (perhaps on purpose…maybe because this realization paints a picture of the human condition that is too dark and depressing for most people to accept; at least that’s my assumption).

And sociopathic tendencies are genetic.

So I can see where we might want to have a good hard look at the 'rents, too.

True. They went back and found that not only was Stephen Paddock, the las Vegas shooter a sociopath, but his father was also apparently somewhat infamous for being such as well. The Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

These kids probably don’t have a lot of parental supervision in the first place, if they did, they might not have done this. There’s a part of me that feels a bit bad for them because chances are, they’ll never amount to anything except prison fodder, but that’s kind of a sad realization to make about a kid who’s 13.

Stuff like this is why I’m pro choice and wish people would be more realistic about the responsibility of raising a kid, and if they know they’re not up for it, to do the needful, tough a choice as that must be.

They should put their child up for adoption instead. Many people out there that wish to have a child but for a lot of reasons cant. Im still on the fence with pro choice because there are many other options you could take that people dont seem to think of or are informed about.

I used to think that too until I met some kids who were in the system. Tbh that can be as bad as just having inattentive parents. I legit feel bad for the kids and place the blame on parents not being responsible enough to use birth control knowing they can’t/don’t want to take care of a child. The kid didn’t ask to be born.

Naw naw i dont mean put them in an adoption home. I mean go through the process during your 9 months of “shit im pregnant” or whatever, and im not saying its easy but not everything is. My mother did this with my youngest sister. I dont remember alp the steps i was like 13 at the time but we met my sisters adoptive parents when my mother was like 3 months pregnant. We interviewed a number of couples, or should i say my mom did i sat there, but still puting them in the system isnt the only adoption option there is.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t even know that was a thing. But yeah that seems like a much better option than the system.

Was just looking at old images saved on my computer. This one’s dated from 2012. Maybe more true than ever.

So what DID happen to calzones?

Still around as far as I know.

Never had a reason to buy them though. :thinking:

That’s my biggest fear with a kid - bringing up a sociopath. I know some say it’s genetic, but you could get a shit roll of the dice and end up with a psycho just because the wind is blowing.

Back on topic: as for calzones, I like them. Don’t know why they’re cheaper than a small pizza on average though. Seems like you’d be using just as much cheese, dough, and toppings either way, but the calzone is on average 3 bucks cheaper in every spot I’ve been to.

Calzpnes are to pizza what burritos are to Mexican food. It’s the same thing in a different configuration. Delicious tho!

I think if you can recognize sociopath behavior then it means you aren’t one. It’s always the craziest motherfuckers who think THEY’RE ok and everyone else is messed up.

I like calzones, but without the ricotta that’s traditionally included in them. I like them with mozzarella, some meat and veggies, with marijuanara sauce on the side instead of inside. I think that’s standard anyway- strombolis have the sauce baked in.

Lmfao at a grocery store my friend was in

Calzones are there just to make you aware that 99% of pizza places in 'Murika are too shite to include actual pie deep dish pizza.

Some folks are getting the 2-pack of SIEGE Laserbeak and Ravage early.

Laserbeak fits inside G1 Soundwave’s chest cavity loosely.

Deep dish is shit

Deep dish is good, but NY style is way better.

I dont call that stuff from Chicago as pizza.
NY mastered the Art of the Pizza.

I mean, I’d much rather not have to use a fucking fork to eat pizza, but Chicago style is definitely delicious. It’s more like a pizza casserole though.
