Mystical mouse manifests murderous monster, maintaining munching moment.

The power of persistence, how to get vulnerable people addicted to drugs.

Mob boss in fabulous coat, repossesses all of our stuff.

Best use of nickelback possible?

Yes. So much, easier.

The big improvements in your future:

• reliably sleeping through the night ~3 YO for my boys (biggest improvement by far)
• reliable day time toileting, so not having to carry “the bag” everywhere
• better appetite/impulse control, ~4 YO, not always having to have a “kid snack” on hand. So you don’t have to constantly think, when they last ate.

Those are just a few big ones in your immediate future. There are bunch more smaller things.

One word of advice, don’t accept “I don’t like it”, before they taste any food. The rule in our house is “is OK to not like something, but not OK to not try something”. Fussiness is learned not innate. Too many parents give in way too quickly, and I see kids who don’t eat anything but stuff they are already comfortable with.

Another commenter said to encourage age appropriate independence. 100% agree. Example, a few weeks back on Sunday morning my 10YO comes into my room and asks to make pancakes for breakfast, answer “sure, but you have to make enough for everyone (5 of us) and any mess is your responsibly to clean up”. He got his brothers to help, 4YO getting utensils and setting the table, 7YO mixing and measuring, whilst he cooked.

It is an adventure, that’s for sure, three are super frustrating moments (daily) but there rewards are immense.

Spend money so the rich can get richer.

I started when it was still called TextSecure, I had precisely 1 contact (just my nerdy friend from uni) for the first 3 years. I then convinced my partner to install it, had 2 contacts for the next few years.

When it became Signal, a few more jumped on. Once I had kids; I bullied my family onto it, by refusing to send photos any other way.

I have 62 contacts now, the bulk of my digital communication is through either Signal, phone, email or Lemmy. There is a little SMS/RCS.

It has been a 15 year journey so far, for me. You will get there.

It’s literally just about preserving the status quo as they see it

Close. But not quite.

It is about preserving the status quo as they think it should be; and that can change to be the opposite of what it was last week, if their information bubble convinces them it should change.

human waste = poop.

56% German, 31% Autistic.

As a Kiwi who has never been to Germany; seems interesting. I am an engineer though; so maybe that increases my German-ness somewhat.

Indeed, just a rubber flesh toned phallus. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Pies are nice and all; but have you considered a dildo to the face?

It has a certain style after all.

I would watch this. It sounds exactly like what it should have been!

The whole point of the book, is Ender wrestling with the fact that he was being trained to commit a genocide on the largest scale; then the bombshell, oh BTW that last ‘training’ was the real thing, “yay we won!!!”.

The next book is Ender coming to grips with and trying to find some recourse for his crime.

The movie glosses over all of the nuance and complexity.

The Enders Game movie. Just WTF, every part of it was worse than the book.

Except possibly Harrison Ford. He is great as a gruff arsehole, past his prime, but still awesome.

Just looked it up on IMDb, how can it possibly have a 6.6?

Taught my boy to play connect 4. Had to start paying attention to by the time he was 7, by now (10) he is a challenge to beat, often just draw.

I have to try to win chess now also. It is great.

My 11yo nephew is a challenge to beat in chess, I think I’ll probably not win next time we play.

My 7yo can read music, I can’t… It is the way of the world.

Superhot.

I guess I’m made of red glass polygons. But time stops if I stop moving.
