My son eats everything. He's never stopping. I'm shocked he's 6 and only 40 pounds with how he eats lol

Wait till he's 14.

It's the Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn trilogy by Tad Williams. The first is The Dragonbone Chair, second is Stone of Farewell. I have about 300 pages left of the second one

I've heard that trilogy is really good, but I've never gotten around to reading it.

UGH. I dread it. We have my 14 year old nephew over on weekends a lot and he's constantly eating!

Knew it was coming.
But at least I was able to find humor in this article.

So, so true. My 14 year old has been eating five times his weight in food daily for a couple of years now. He's the size of a full grown man already. (Well, he's 5'8". His father is 6'2" or 3" can't remember, so I expect my kiddo to keep eating and growing).

Food. OMG. So much food. I think my entire Mturk earnings are spent on that!!!

I had my eye on some sexploitation movie posters.

But I didn't bid.
God help me I wanted to.

This is what's making me happy today.

"It's not up to me who uses what technology."

How is it not? Do we not have the power to elect those in power? This is a dangerous train of thought.

"That being said, I still don't care if the PD uses software to compare my face to booking photos or pictures of missing women."

You may not, but others may. Just because they claim it will only be used for such uses does not mean it will happen. It's a slippery slope. How do you feel about the NSA sharing nude pictures of women (https://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/21/...sa-sexually-explicit-photos-often-shared.html) when they originally claim it will be used to "stop terrorism"? Whether you want to believe Snowden's claims or not, the NSA has not stopped one large terrorist attack (https://theintercept.com/2015/11/17...e-terror-attacks-regardless-of-snowden-leaks/).

"Are you going to get upset if you get pulled over and the cop can see your entire criminal/driving record/license picture?"

If I was pulled over, I would assume I have committed a crime. If in fact I have, then sure they can pull up my data and I won't get upset. Why should the government be allowed to continuously view my habits and run me through a search if I have not committed any crimes? This already goes on with license plate readers that many officers already have on their cars.

"The information captured by the readers – including the license plate number, and the date, time, and location of every scan – is being collected and sometimes pooled into regional sharing systems. As a result, enormous databases of innocent motorists’ location information are growing rapidly. This information is often retained for years or even indefinitely, with few or no restrictions to protect privacy rights."

Listen, I'm not going to sit and argue with you on an internet forum. Your views are your's and mine are mine. I'm not going to change your mind and you're not going to change mine. If the software is going to protect my kids, my husband and the PO's I know, then I'm okay with them using it.

Mine doesn't always show up in the script but it does in my daily total. Just check there and see if your total is higher (by the bonus amount) than all the hits you've done.
