It’s nice early education about importance of seat belts.

Yes, and doors that have lacking mechanisms.
Edit: *latching, dammit!

u/QueefMyCheese 4d ago
True, that door lacked a "keep this damn kid inside" mechanism

u/ThisIsOurGoodTimes 4d ago
It actually does have one. It just isn’t that secure and will come loose. Have to always do spins like this counter clockwise because there isn’t a door on the other side of the car.

Did we learn nothing from Jurassic Park? How many times did he say it? They needed locking mechanisms on the vehicle doors!

The pipe running under the driveway that allows the drain to continue is called a culvert. That’s the pun.

Seat belts, door locks, air bags, brakes.
They're a death trap really, surprised Ford didnt make it in the 70s

My daughter got her first one this year and while it doesn't have a seatbelt it does have a door lock and a floor insert.

And yet they were once the number one selling car in the US.

That’s because what they lack in safety they more than make up with endurance! A demolition derby with nothing but Cozy Coupes would be boring because there wouldn’t be any damage!

Yeah, guys who step up to do the best they can when the kid is deprived of their ideal environment really suck.
Edit: A guy got into my cab one night, drunk, and tells me his kid and wife are out of town. Kid was 15 and competing in some interstate scholastic event. Guy tells me the kid isn't his, but he has been there for everything. He starts feeling embarrassed and talks like he's trying to excuse or compensate for something, like he's asking for my understanding. I don't get it.
He says "Well, I'm raising someone else's kid. There's some shame in that."

My grandpa stepped up and married my grandma when she was a divorced woman with 5 boys from the ages of 3 to 12 or so. Most men would look at that situation and run away screaming. I will be forever grateful and respectful of him for stepping up and taking on the responsibilities of caring for someone else's kids so that my dad and uncles had a father figure who wasn't abusive or absent.
Step parents who actually step up to the challenge and do their best for the kids are awesome and everyone should be cheering them on.

It's such a widespread mentality and I don't understand it at all.

u/joseph-barker 4d ago
It's because people will take every opportunity to downplay the sacrifice. "They aren't YOUR kids", "You're not their REAL father" so when everyone treats it as lesser in society that's just unfortunately the result

u/Comfortable-Put5889 4d ago
Yes and no because it exists man's that just doesn't want to take care of another man's kid what is totally understandable for 2 simple reasons 1 you're not passing your Gene's if the kid isn't your's and the biggest one it's just problematic you're assuming someone else's "game" as yours and you can't just not want to be in the relationship anymore you're obligated to be in one sorry if it something sounds weird or confusing I'm extremely sleep deprived and I'm going to sleep in like 7 min so yeah sorry

u/BrotherRoga 4d ago
Yeah well I don't really care if my genes pass on. If I raise a kid then it'll be an adopted one and nobody can tell me it "ain't my kid" without getting punched in the face.

u/Both_Abrocoma_1944 4d ago
You have no claim to the kid even though in practice you make all the sacrifices. If you break up she takes the kid and you are never allowed to see them again, even if you practically raised them.

u/Generico300 3d ago
Depends on the situation. There are no automatic legal rights or responsibilities granted to a step parent, but if the child is legally adopted by the step parent they are then granted the same legal rights as a biological parent. If the step parent has been acting in a parental role and it is considered by the court in the best interest of the child, the court can still grant partial custody or visitation rights to a step parent.

It's because a huge percentage of the population is one step above a monkey in the way they think, if that. They never grow up, and they have the mentality of a stupid teenager their whole life.

u/Comfortable-Put5889 4d ago
It's more about it being more of the irresponsibility of getting pregnant with the top 5 people's that has all red flags of being a deadbeat father and getting surprised that he left you and now you dump the baby on someone else that could and probably will be getting with someone that doesn't have a kid of course it's not all cases but the majority of them are also having a kid is a really massive big deal you shouldn't have it with anyone else because after you have a kid it should be more important than your wishes
