Who knew normalizing being nasty in public would have this kind of effect? /s

Magestically pissed

But you missed out on the guy being forcibly dragged along the ground by two law enforcement officers in the background at 2:45 while this guy is casually asking someone about Taylor Swift!

… for pretzels.

This right here. Every kid is different and parents should know what they need and be allowed the freedom to choose what’s right for them.

We have a 11 and 13 year old and neither are capable of disconnecting. I mean literally. They will skip sleep, meals and restroom breaks if given that level of freedom. So we have time limits. Reasonable ones in my opinion but still limits.

Also, I work in tech and one of the kids is extremely savvy at pushing boundaries and getting around my security , so I make it a game and give them the freedom to break limits in a controlled environment. This builds trust and teaches them at the same time.

Trust but verify and provide what’s best for your own kids.

Seems a bit redundant

Asking the important questions right here.

A friend of mine tells a funny story about how shortly after seatbelts became mandatory, he was jumping around in the front seat of his mom’s car while driving and she asked him several times to belt up.

Being a kid, he refused and finally she tapped the brakes. He does this hilarious impression of eating the dashboard and needles to say he started wearing the seatbelt from then on.

My favorite is when they send me and letter in the US mail for the sole purpose of telling me they decided to cover our medication the doctor prescribed. The language they use is infuriating.

As if we should call them back and praise them, be grateful for their service, and just ignore that I’m paying them.

What would be required for my wife to drink tap water.

I’ll never again see a shiny shell without hearing the crab song in my head from Moana.

I hope AI never loses this bit. It’s like it has a dark sense of humor, but we all just think it’s making mistakes.

Always try to give people the benefit of the doubt. You never know what someone else is going through.

The scene with the bear…

In all seriousness, you need to sell that book title idea.

Neat, will be interesting to see what comes from this:

This graphene, which consists of several thin layers, may have formed billions of years ago due to volcanic activity and the effects of solar winds on the moon. This discovery is exciting because it shows us a new, possibly cheaper way to make graphene on Earth, which could revolutionize technologies in electronics and materials science.

Recycle your old batteries https://www.consumerreports.org/home-garden/recycling/yes-you-need-to-recycle-your-old-batteries-a5385943645/

Most batteries—regardless of type—contain toxic chemicals. Think cadmium, lead, lithium, or sulfuric acid. If your old batteries end up in a landfill, pollutants like these can leak out and contaminate groundwater, damage fragile ecosystems, and potentially make their way into the food chain.
