With issues like misplaced paternity, people should be dna tested before they marry, anyway. Your first cousin might not actually be your first cousin, and the stranger you meet on the street might actually be family. I’m just saying.
I my experience with teaching in the U.S. sick days do get paid out at retirement. Teachers typically get 10 sick days a year and 3 personal days. The sick days stack but personal days turn to sick days after you have 5 banked.
Sick days are part of your compensation package. They are yours to do whatever the fuck you want with. There’s a reason most companies don’t call them sick days anymore.
Ah - so so there’s no rules or laws that apply, it’s all based on what it’s called. I never understood how US functions but I’m getting a better feel now. Thank you
She wouldn’t have to have used sick days if this God damn country had basic worker rights and gave people vacation time. Oh and a side note, many companies will 100% fire you if you use your vacation days. Fuck the American work environment
If I were a teacher, I’d know not to abandon my job to see a concert. If the job sucks so bad, don’t take it when it’s offered. But if you do take it, don’t try and justify bailing on it because you are underpaid.
“Sorry, I can’t come to the concert. I have to work that day.” That’s what an adult says in the same situation.
So, no. I think I won’t fuck off. Maybe grow up and learn how to talk to people that you disagree with.
npr black maternity crisis I would put this just on Memphis. It’s an issue effect black ppl across the US. For various reasons, but mainly the staff being overworked and dismissive. Nothing intentional to point
All the fuckers in here pretending they actually believe “love is love” just so they can use it as a cudgel against the absolute monsters who think incest is wrong.
What the fuck is wrong with you? Go have your bad faith arguments somewhere else.
Why should it be illegal to have a relationship with someone you’re only related to by law? I mean yeah, naturally this will rarely ever happen and it’s kinda weird to think about, but something being weird is hardly a reason to ban it.
It’s actually extremely common, some guys will even be with hundreds of step sisters! Of course I get this knowledge from porn, but that’s not my point.
Why should it be illegal to have a relationship with someone you’re only related to by law?
Logically only the same reason you couldn’t have a relationship with first cousins. Inbreeding isn’t exactly a problem for first cousins, they’re genetically different enough for it to not have much of an affect until multiple generations of it (plus same-sex people, sterile people, people who just won’t have kids), so the only plausible argument for it is “marriages between family members are more likely to be from grooming/manipulation/abuse”. Which I don’t think is flawless reasoning to make it illegal, same thing could be said about many other perfectly legal types of relationships. But it is a reason.
That’s a fair point actually. Sometimes I forget how fucked up some people are. A ban would not necessarily help tho, because you can reverse or overturn an adoption under certain circumstances. So you could still groom all you want and then try to convince your adoptive child to leave the family and marry into it again (or maybe even force them somehow).
I think probing for grooming/wellbeing of the child might be a better way to handle this overall.
It’s legal in Finland. It’s pretty damn rare. I wouldn’t consider it a hugely shocking thing though, cousins usually aren’t very close here. Would make for weird family relations though.
I think the assumption they’re making with that comment is that this is a result of a higher population of Black women in a specific area of TN, but “more likely to die” isn’t necessarily the same as “more deaths,” though that may also be true. As the doctor in the article points out, there are factors like discrimination by health care professionals (such as not being believed when they’re telling the doctor there is a problem) and complications that occur in higher numbers in Black women (which can be due to other facors stemming from systemic racism such as income, healthcare access, environmental racism, etc).
This is a short article, but there’s plenty of papers out there about how people are treated differently by doctors and have different levels of access to healthcare in the US based on what population they belong to (racial, ethnic, lgbtq+, etc) and that women of color typically have the poorest healh outcomes.
