    Another disturbing social-media trend I see is mothers posting pictures of their daughters who take dance classes. My cousin's wife posts pictures of their 12-year-old daughter (my second cousin) in her dance outfits. They're somewhat revealing pictures and I fucking hate it. The pictures aren't very revealing by adult standards. But still, you can see her midriff and sometimes she's in a sports-bra. For a 12-year-old, that's way too much I think. 
    Yes it is.  My cousin posts pictures of her kids that I would never allow my wife to post.  I can't believe her stupid husband doesn't say anything.  The girl is in that 11-12 year old stage where it is time to get a bra but she doesn't wear one yet.  She also posts pictures of her 8 year old son in his underwear....like a lot.  I get that the kid likes to run around the house in his underwear but posting that on FB is just fucking clueless.

    So I'm going to share something with you from someone that posted this on FB.  These aren't his kids, he shared a meme.  I told him I thought it was despicable that someone is exploiting their own children, in a vulnerable way, to score political points.  It's shameful.  I'll leave this up today and then delete because I think it is appalling, but it goes with teh topic du jour.  Don't reply to me so I can delete it later and not have it in other posts.

    Yeah that type of stuff is meant for the family photo album (if those even still exist). There's a ridiculous photo of me as a child dancing on the kitchen table in nothing but Ninja Turtle underwear, and the only people that have seen it are my father, mother, and sister...as it should be.

    a female friend of mine, who is a resource teacher in high school no less, is constantly posting semi-nude pix of her 5 year old, some even in the fucking bathtub where "things" are clearly visible. it boggles my mind the utter stupidity.

    The fact that Trump has shared doctored versions of this video multiple times is barely mentioned. At least twitter flagged it. 

    Can't wait to have a normal president again. 
    It's just a meme if anyone else posts Biden dancing to "fuck the police" in this video. But coming from the sitting president, it's considered doctored. Understandably. People are so dumb that they might actually believe Biden was really listening to "fuck the police."

    As for Biden though, talk about pathetic pandering. Does his campaign actually believe that this sort of thing could (or should) win over Hispanic voters? 
    Yeah I don't know how that is pandering. The singer of the song was there with him. He was actually the one who introduced Biden. The right wing outlets calling it pandering are not providing that context. That's much worse than Biden acknowledging the popular song (I guess?) of the guy who literally just brought him onto the stage.

    And Trump's bullshit is worse than all of it. Good for twitter.

    I hate bullshit like this. It's just a distraction.

    I hadn't seen the new version of the Bidel video. It is kind of funny. Its funny with someone random doing it, Trump should stay away from those things and not retweet. But of course he does.
    Yeah he should stay away from it. It's literally fake news.

    Whoa, whoa, whoa. I argue that Donatello is the best Turtle. Or at the very least, underrated. He's the brains of the operation. Raphael is too emotional and impulsive. Michelangelo? The world could be burning around him and he'd be scrapping pepporini of the floor for once last slice of pizza. Leonardo leads. I can respect that. But would be be able to hack the mainframe of the Technodrome if need be? Unlikely. This is why Don rules. 

    I use this same argument for why Egon is the best Ghostbuster. Ray shows weakness (brings on the form of the destuctor in the first movie, possessed by Vigo in the second, countless fuck-ups in the cartoons). Venkman cares more chaising tail and spouting off one-liners than he does busting ghosts. And Winston isn't even a scientist.

    You make a fair point about the necessity of technology in keeping the Foot at bay, and I concede I have underrated him.  I was aghast when my nephew said Donnie was his favorite, growing up a Raphael fan.  And yes perhaps Raphael is emotional and impulsive, but maybe he's just passionate.  In RPG terms he's a tank, a mucker and a grinder to use hockey lingo, and that may get him in trouble, but damned if it doesn't produce results.

    My comment was more in line to as what you may be holding in the picture while acting like Donatello, as opposed to sais like Raph.

    Yes it is.  My cousin posts pictures of her kids that I would never allow my wife to post.  I can't believe her stupid husband doesn't say anything.  The girl is in that 11-12 year old stage where it is time to get a bra but she doesn't wear one yet.  She also posts pictures of her 8 year old son in his underwear....like a lot.  I get that the kid likes to run around the house in his underwear but posting that on FB is just fucking clueless.
    Yeah that type of stuff is meant for the family photo album (if those even still exist). There's a ridiculous photo of me as a child dancing on the kitchen table in nothing but Ninja Turtle underwear, and the only people that have seen it are my father, mother, and sister...as it should be. 

    I don't believe you unless you post it here.
    Oh believe me it's real. And to make matters worse (or better?), in the picture, I'm holding sais like Raphael. 
    I say better; would be worse if you were acting like Donatello.  
    Whoa, whoa, whoa. I argue that Donatello is the best Turtle. Or at the very least, underrated. He's the brains of the operation. Raphael is too emotional and impulsive. Michelangelo? The world could be burning around him and he'd be scrapping pepporini of the floor for once last slice of pizza. Leonardo leads. I can respect that. But would be be able to hack the mainframe of the Technodrome if need be? Unlikely. This is why Don rules. 

    I use this same argument for why Egon is the best Ghostbuster. Ray shows weakness (brings on the form of the destuctor in the first movie, possessed by Vigo in the second, countless fuck-ups in the cartoons). Venkman cares more chaising tail and spouting off one-liners than he does busting ghosts. And Winston isn't even a scientist. 
    You make a fair point about the necessity of technology in keeping the Foot at bay, and I concede I have underrated him.  I was aghast when my nephew said Donnie was his favorite, growing up a Raphael fan.  And yes perhaps Raphael is emotional and impulsive, but maybe he's just passionate.  In RPG terms he's a tank, a mucker and a grinder to use hockey lingo, and that may get him in trouble, but damned if it doesn't produce results.

    My comment was more in line to as what you may be holding in the picture while acting like Donatello, as opposed to sais like Raph.  
    Fair enough. Yeah my parents got me sais for my birthday not knowing who was my favorite Turtle. Similarly, years later, when I was about 16, my mother did the unthinkable: she bought me a CREED CD because my aunt told her they sound like Pearl Jam and that I'd probably like them. Ugh.....

    Another underrated aspect of Don is the fact that he uses a staff. You can slice and dice someone with sais or a sword. But a staff? You've got to be badass to use a staff and survive.
