This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 63%. (I'm a bot) The U.S. is planning to begin training Ukrainian troops on the Patriot air defense system at Fort Sill, Okla., later this month, according to three defense officials. The first group will consist of just under 100 Ukrainian service members with some experience in air defense systems. Three U.S. defense officials told NBC News on Dec. 13 that the U.S. was poised to approve sending a Patriot missile battery to Ukraine, finally agreeing to an urgent request from Ukrainian leaders desperate for more robust weapons to shoot down incoming Russian missiles.

> Relevant text: Polis announced on Jan. 3 that Colorado would facilitate in transporting of migrants who arrived in Denver to their "final destinations," noting that about 70% of the migrants did not consider Denver as their destination. The release added that weather and workforce shortages at the time attributed to travel cancellations for many migrants. New York Mayor Eric Adams had responded before Polis issued that announcement. Joining 77WABC's "Sid and Friends in the Morning," Adams informed listeners that Polis notified him on Monday about busing migrants from Colorado. "This is just unfair for local governments to have to take on this national obligation," Adams said. "We've done our job. There's no more room at the end, but we are compelled by local laws here that we must provide shelter." So yes, unlike with Abbot, Polis was literally facilitating these folks getting to where they were trying to go. But Republicans have to try to "both sides" with something, and this is the best they got.

> Shouldn't those that support open borders enthusiastically support helping migrants reach their final destination? Because if you don't then you actually don't support open borders. You're just supporting opening one border then hoping that the "border" of expenses/language barrier is closed keeping them from crossing the borders of your own city/county/state. It is demeaning when some states trick people onto buses and do stunt dropoffs but in this case we're dealing with hypocrisy.

> However now it has become a political point with sanctuary cities, locking people in cages, pandering to certain demographics, those seeking asylum or whatever other rhetoric you wish to include. Right, the political point being that one side is anti-immigrant nativists who have extreme overlap with the racist elements in the nation, and the other side just treats them like normal people? It should be easy to immigrate to America, that is the immigration policy under which we became the world's foremost economic powerhouse.

> Yes, and we're only now just normalizing back to the level of immigrants we had back in the 1850's. You think this is a lot because you don't understand that historically America's entire national identity was "We'll take you even if nobody else will". It's only for the past sixty to seventy years that a growing political backlash against immigrants has become politically empowered enough to restrict immigration. I'm telling you, for all you anti-immigration folks' talk about how you like this country, you seem to like more the pale illusion of it in your head. And that's not even getting into the question of "Who's the real immigrants in a country which has native Americans?"

> I'd extend this to say you shouldn't overvalue any trait that is outside of the kids control. My generation is full of former "smart" kids who burnt out and failed as soon as they hit a roadblock at least in part because we were constantly told how smart we were when our school work wasn't challenging. As soon as we did get challenged for the first time, suddenly we must not be "smart" anymore, we had no idea how to overcome an obstacle, and the whole foundation fell out beneath us.

> There’s a difference between teaching your child how much appearance matters (which is necessary), and being harmful by degrading them. Attractiveness is a factor in everything. The vast majority of people who think they’re ugly are very capable of elevating themselves to at least a 5/10. Yes, some people simply lost the lottery, and some people simply won the lottery when it comes to genetics.

> Friend visited me after the pandemic started to wind down. She didn't change or shower the entire time. Pijamas the entiretime. It was soooo disgusting. She was lazy and selfish and on her phone the entire time. She never used to be like this. Ive seen a lot of these slides for a lot of people, I think the pandemic fucked things up in lasting ways.

You can't guarantee that you'll see tomorrow.", ">\n\nThe wise need not dwell on the opinions of the foolish", ">\n\nIf you are the parent of a 500 lb minor, you deserve to be in prison for child endangerment (unless there’s some medical reason for the extreme obesity).", ">\n\nThere is only one extremely rare disease that makes hunger continuous that would count as an excuse. Other than that, no other disease makes you eat in a caloric surplus.", ">\n\nAntipsychotic medications can make people insatiable. Some kids need them. \nBut yeah, Prader-Willi syndrome is as real as it is rare.", ">\n\nThat's what parents are for. No kid will starve to death and die from an increased appetite that's regulated by the parents. But they will die from obesity.", ">\n\nI believe that parents should not emphasize/place a lot of importance on/ mention frequently their child's physical appearance in any context, whether the child is above average, average, or below average in looks. So I agree that parents should not tell an unattractive child that he or she is physically beautiful, but they should also not tell an attractive child he or she is beautiful, either.", ">\n\nI'd extend this to say you shouldn't overvalue any trait that is outside of the kids control. \nMy generation is full of former \"smart\" kids who burnt out and failed as soon as they hit a roadblock at least in part because we were constantly told how smart we were when our school work wasn't challenging. As soon as we did get challenged for the first time, suddenly we must not be \"smart\" anymore, we had no idea how to overcome an obstacle, and the whole foundation fell out beneath us. \nKids who are rewarded for being hard working, or creative, or good problem solvers, have much better short term and long term outcomes than kids who are just told they're smart. I'd say the same goes for any other inherent trait vs one the kid can actually control", ">\n\nThere’s a difference between teaching your child how much appearance matters (which is necessary), and being harmful by degrading them. Attractiveness is a factor in everything.\nThe vast majority of people who think they’re ugly are very capable of elevating themselves to at least a 5/10. Yes, some people simply lost the lottery, and some people simply won the lottery when it comes to genetics. But most people were born somewhere in the middle, and their choices have led to their appearance.\nSo what I’m saying is, the importance of keeping yourself up should be taught, regardless of how naturally attractive you are. Far too many people fall into the trap of thinking they always have been and always will be ugly no matter what.", ">\n\nExactly this. I see so many ugly people who you can tell have just given up, they don't even do the basics like combing their hair or wearing clothes that don't look like they got them from a bin. \nIt's not hard for someone to take a little bit of time to tidy up their appearance but instead, we have this new 'movement' which is seeking to remove all notions of standards which essentially says, everyone is beautiful no matter what. This leads to people not doing a damn thing with their appearance and thinking they are attractive.\nAnyone see footage from the 50s when people used to dress nicely when they were in public? This idea should be the standard expectation of people in public. But now for some reason, shame and dignity have been removed from the equation and we see people in their damn pyjamas at the supermarket.", ">\n\nThe supermarket? You should see how people dress in the office. You'd think half of them just came in from weeding the garden. But most people don't subscribe to the idea that apparances are important any longer.", ">\n\nFriend visited me after the pandemic started to wind down. She didn't change or shower the entire time. Pijamas the entiretime. It was soooo disgusting. She was lazy and selfish and on her phone the entire time. She never used to be like this. Ive seen a lot of these slides for a lot of people, I think the pandemic fucked things up in lasting ways. It's so dramatic to see evidence of this everywhere, especially with how people dress and their hygiene.", ">\n\nObviously off topic to the thread, but I do think you're correct in that Covid has really changed attitudes and behavoirs accross the board. Half of it doesn't even make sense. But we didn't come out on the other side any better off for it, that's for certain. People are messed up.", ">\n\nThis is silly, because confidence is fantastic and ugly confident people succeed all the time. The problem in your scenario is if a child weighs 500 lbs, their parents have already failed them anyway and they aren’t listening to this type of advice.", ">\n\nIf a child weighs 500 lbs, they are not ugly, they are just fat af and they need to lose weight immediately.", ">\n\nDon’t be fat and ugly, just be ugly!", ">\n\nIt’s called pick your struggle. Like don’t be broke and ugly", ">\n\nParents think their kids are the closest thing to perfection. Guess it’s a biological mechanism, to ensure unconditional love.\nA friend of mine wanted to sign up her daughter at a modeling agency when she was 3 because she thought she was so beautiful. No one else I knew seemed to agree, we just nodded and remained silent.", ">\n\nOld enough to remember “it’s the inside is what counts,” a way healthier and honest message than “everyone is beautiful.”", ">\n\nIt’s so frustrating seeing how a movement that was meant to be about how “everybody/every body is worthy of basic respect and dignity even if you don’t find them attractive” became “everybody/every body is beautiful” because why address the problem at hand that beauty is equated to self worth when you can launch thousands of ad campaigns to capitalize on people’s insecurities.", ">\n\nDude creates an alt just to make this post", ">\n\nGot turned down by a fat girl huh?", ">\n\n💀", ">\n\nThis is such an uninformed opinion. Nobody thinks they look good because their mom said so. If anything, most people have extremely low self-esteem and constantly blow up their flaws.", ">\n\nI have read that actually, most people rate themselves as more attractive than they are.", ">\n\nAttractiveness is 100% subjective. They are exactly as attractive as they feel they are. Maybe not to everyone, but your opinion of their looks does not discredit their assessment.", ">\n\nDo you really believe it’s 100% subjective? It definitely is quite subjective, but there’s a reason there’s a general consensus that some actors are really attractive and that traits like obesity are unattractive. Because they have some amount of objective attractiveness", ">\n\nI would attribute that more to group think than anything else. Theres a general consensus, but you generally only get the opinions of people who care. How many people make up this general consensus...1000? 1 million? 300 million? Its subjective in that its how the person looking perceived it. If you find it attractive, it is. If I find the exact same thing unattractive, the same is also true. \nBeauty is in the eye of the beholder. Things like beauty exist only as YOU perceive them", ">\n\nDo you not believe the fact that we are a biological system with motivations given to us by this system? It's easy to abstract things out and imagine yourself as always at the helm of your motivations and decisions but we already know this isn't true. We don't prefer wide hips because of group think nor are we the only species with permanent breasts outside periods of lactation in all mammals on Earth because of group think and those are just 2 examples.", ">\n\nIf you look at history, you see how beauty standards changed A LOT during the different periods and in the different cultures. This is a big proof that it has a lot to do with \"group think\"", ">\n\nActually historical beauty standards don't say much about the real beauty standards people had before, because most of history is from point of view of a quite distinct slice of society. We may never know for real what average European found attractive in 1300s.", ">\n\nI don’t want to meet the parent that does not think their children are absolutely beautiful. My kids may not be lookers in other peoples eyes, but they are absolutely beautiful to me - hands down the best looking kids on the planet and I would not change a thing.", ">\n\nI feel this.\nI don't feel like either her dad or I are objectively mainstream attractive. \nBut daaammmnnnn, my baby got the best of both of us." ]
