She has thus lived outside of Mr. Valdez\u2019s home for thirty consecutive months; state law NRS 128.109 states that if a child has been in foster care for over fourteen of any twenty consecutive months, the best interests of the child are presumed to be termination of parental rights. Thus, state law indicates that modifying Priscilla\u2019s permanency plan to adoption is appropriate at this point.\">website<\/a>, you see a video (which I can&#8217;t embed, sorry) of a man driving up to a house in a sports car. A blonde woman comes out and gushes over the car. The man then says &#8220;Six months ago she wouldn&#8217;t have given me a second look. I had no job, no education, I was living with my parents.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So apparently air conditioning tech school is appropriate only for men, and guarantees that you will make enough money to get the hot women you&#8217;ve always wanted. Aside from the clear objectification of women as sexual rewards for men, it reinforces the idea of women as opportunistic gold-diggers. It&#8217;s also an interesting perspective on how men should view relationships&#8211;that they should be perfectly happy to be with women who don&#8217;t like them for who they are, and who would presumably leave them if they lost their job or got a pay cut. As long as the woman&#8217;s hot, a guy is apparently supposed to be satisfied with the relationship and not worry about little things like whether his wife actually loves him&#8211;we reserve concerns about love and emotional closeness for women only.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks, Blanca!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blanca M. sent in this picture she took here in Las Vegas of a truck advertising Air Conditioning Technical Institute.
