After a toddler accidentally shot and killed his older sister, a family’s wounds run deep

“I know this sounds horrible, but do you know how hard it is not to have ill feelings toward a kid? How hard it is not to be upset at Jaxon? Do you know how hard it is?”

It should really not be hard at all. As a matter of fact it shouldn't even cross your mind. Your father killed your daughter by negligence. Be mad at him. Be mad at your boyfriend who leaves a loaded gun in his car door. And be mad at yourself for being that much of an ammosexual you'd rather blame you toddler for killing his sister than admit you might have a gun problem in your goddamn family.

I know CPS sucks in the USA but nonetheless I hope CPS monitors how things are going with Jaxon and his nutcase of a mom.

Ribbons on vents. Why?

Reply in thread

Whether the air is blowing or not is strictly irrelevant to this scene. something has been hidden inside the vent which the protagonist is about to find out when the picture was taken. We will never come back to this bathroom later. As a matter of fact it would have made sense if the ribbons were not floating and the object was big enough to obstruct the vent, but this is not the case here.

I am fairly well traveled. I know mostly countries in Europe, Latin America and Africa, and I never noticed anyone doing this in any hotel, public building, private house or plane or train... Never been to the US though, so I wondered if it was real thing people do.

If Judaism is the oldest Abrahamic religion, why does it have so few followers compared to Christianity and Islam and why by such a large margin?

Jews don't proselytize. I think it's actually the best aspect of their religion: they never ring my door to talk to me about our lord and savior. More seriously they have this idea that more than coreligionaries they are a people: you are born into Judaism. Although you can convert to Judaism but it has to come from you and you have to study a lot and it is actually really hard. The few people who do it mostly do it to get married to a practicing Jew.

Then there is the historical context: Islam and Christianity expanded around the world through conquest, invasions and colonialism. When you are a people with no nation and therefore no army you can't invade other territories.
