A 32 oz bag of dried beans is $2. A 2 lb bag of carrots, also $2. Cook these together and you have a ton of meals

Fuck, now the Parry Gripp song is stuck in my head. My son moved on from this a couple years ago, but the horrors persist

I think you’re taking this too seriously

Dude, the sound is clearly audible, and the people behind him clearly react to it, and they clearly end the event prematurely right after it happens.

Attention on this doesn’t diminish any of the horrible atrocities committed by the Trump Admin, but it cuts at the very foundation of the “strongman” persona Trump tries so desperately to portray

He helped her move into an apartment and they’re still friends

I also mulled this over, as I work with people experiencing homelessness, and decided I’m still going to work, but will make sure not to spend any money that day. Also my son will still go to school

Most of the people here left Reddit on purpose, so you may be asking the wrong crowd. What I think you should do is never give Reddit another thought and share content here instead

Human infants are born significantly earlier in their gestational period than all these other animals. That’s why these other animals can usually walk around at birth, where human babies are sacks of potatoes for months

Counterpoint: You can totally clean the dishes as you go

Counterpoint: You can actually cook delicious food for yourself if you want to

No argument here. My response was to the idea that the US has never had any form of accountability for presidents, which is just not true.

Well, we did, it just requires functional legislative and judicial branches, which we no longer have

Edit: Y’all, accountability ≠ jail or death. The US Legislature and Supreme Court have reined in presidential power for literally the entire existence of the US. Even during the first Trump Admin this happened. What’s happening now is a total abdication of the separation of powers

Lnk plz

Your phrasing here is all but certain to achieve the opposite of your desired outcome 😂

PBS Kids is a great option for littles! Free, no commercials, and supportive of social/emotional development (Reminder to set up a monthly donation to your local PBS station!). With the PBS Kids app, we’d often download a few episodes of something like Daniel Tiger or Wild Kratts for road trips

We rarely watch YouTube together, most of the time he’s watching a series of some kind through Netflix or Paramount. Trollhunters, Gravity Falls, Henry Danger, stuff like that. His only exposure to commercials is during football games, whereas I can still sing over 100 jingles from my childhood.

It’s still always better to limit/avoid screentime…

Definitely the case! I’m not always on top of this myself, but I do go in and remove anything that may poison my recommendations. At this point, I just get plants, history, and a splash of comedy. Thank you for bringing this to the fore!

My son is still young, almost 8, so I’m speaking for near that age level. He doesn’t get unrestricted access to YouTube. If he’s watching YouTube, it’s with one of us present and helping him navigate it. He always wants to watch the video that’s the lowest quality shit just based on the thumbnail, because they have thumbnails that stick out. I’ve taught him about “low quality” content and we’ve watched a couple so he could understand what I meant. Now, when he wants to watch something like that, I say “no, that’s going to be low quality,” he seems to understand and we move on to find something else.

Eventually, I’m going to let him navigate YouTube alone sometimes, and then go back and look at his watch history to see how things are going. He doesn’t know watch history is a thing, nor will I ever tell him. If things go off the rails, we will guide them back to the rails slowly and nonjudgmentally

That said, we were at a restaurant the other day and a woman was there with her baby and a friend. She set that infant in a high chair with AI slop on her phone right in its face. The kid definitely didn’t disturb her conversation, because it looked like a zombie. Godspeed, child

I’ve read scientists think the Chicxulub impact may have registered a 13

The best cure for being too anxious to go to the library or ride the bus is to go to the library and ride the bus. Your rationales for not doing these things don’t hold up, because the entire point of this advice is to help you get used to leaving your house by yourself. Don’t make excuses and just go.
