I appreciate you not putting a stopper in that wine. Too many people are unfamiliar with the serving size of cab being one bottle.

I don’t even know how to pronounce it. Forge Joe? For Gay Ho?

If you give your kid access to your credit card you’re a fool. Those are parents who perhaps needed to learn some extra lessons in life.
The second the kid goes to school, they’re faced with every single fad anyway. It’s insanity. Everyone wants a croc, a Stanley, a labubu. My kids see the ads built in to the YouTubes, and they see it from friends, and I do my best to explain to them what’s happening.
And if they earn some money, or get birthday money, and they want to burn it on some nonsense, I explain to them what’s happening but ultimately give them some autonomy. And when the next thing comes along and they can’t spend money because they have none, they either learn or they don’t.

Ehhh, there’s a lot of crap on Roblox, but some of it isn’t bad. There’s just the obvious UI bullshit and constant spam to buy shit, but I take that opportunity to shit on people who do that so that my kids understand that’s a dirty practice.

The 1080 was a factory freak. I used mine forever, I want to say from a 2015 build as well.

That’s why I slam that shit home all the time. Robux are a scam. YouTubers are just selling to you. If it has ads it’s not worth watching. Just repeat that every day to the kids and they’re good to go.

Well, what about this: Early exposure to the shithead practices of modern gaming can enable children to more easily identify what’s good and what’s just trying to take money from them.
I dunno.

Hmm, I always assume homeopathy was just alternative and generally dubious treatment, but I looked it up and I’m enlightened that it’s administration of substances to mimic symptoms in an effort to elicit a response. Color me surprised.

Lemmy Shitpost is actually a place where people can come and dissect humor, and eventually turn it political.

There is hope! I convinced my neighbor to downgrade his f150 into a Tacoma…

- Comment on Incident 1 week ago:
So at that age, all the kids nap at the same time. I guarantee that’s when teacher is sitting there filling these things out; hence, 120, 130, 140. It’s remarkable how efficiently run these places are. And I had the misfortune of my kids’ first daycare (two block walk from my house) getting flooded, going to a second one of their centers miles away, and then switching to another one that’s less than a mile from my home now. I saw consistently efficient operations across all three over the past 7 years (and much dollars).
And one thing that I have always believed to be the most important about having my kids in daycare was getting them into groups of their peers. They get plenty of time to “socialize,” especially the older they get, and so the teachers (generally) don’t need to be constantly interacting with them.
- Comment on Incident 1 week ago:
Yeah, my son is older now, wrapping up daycare (thank God), but still gets the reports. He’s four, so communication isn’t exactly the greatest, but it’s there, and I go through that daily report with him at night to help refresh his recollection about his day at school, things he learned, events that occurred. Without the report, I know I’m going to get a lot of I don’t knows and I don’t remembers.
- Comment on Anyone else from Europe feels the same while browsing the "All" feed? 1 week ago:
The complexity, probably. I am decent in French, rudimentary Spanish. I think I’d go about getting a better handle on those before German. And then, if I choose to step away from the romantic languages, it’s probably for Chinese, Korean, or Japanese. So I shouldn’t say zero, zero isn’t real, but it’s close to zero.
So it’s not some anti-german thing. Ich habe einen Bruder, I’ve got a little German, my girlfriend in high school took it, but I just don’t see it in my future. In fact, besides working and taking care of my family until I die, I don’t see much else.
- Comment on Anyone else from Europe feels the same while browsing the "All" feed? 1 week ago:
Yeah, I block them as they come up, not because I have a problem with them, but because I can’t speak German, and there’s zero chance I’m learning German at 37.

I have to assume it was the same case on Reddit, except it was only info available privately, to whomever. Now, every psychopath and their mother can find people who disagree quietly and hunt them down!
- Comment on Upvotes and downvotes are public information on Lemmy 1 week ago:
I did this last night putting my son to bed, said heads you go to bed, tails we stay up. Jokes on him though, double heads. And he fell for it, what a sucker. Hope it works when he’s not four, or I at least don’t need to do it.
- Comment on Expand North! So much room up there. 1 week ago:
Trenton, NJ, the most densely populated state in America, only has 91k. This represents only 1% of the population, versus 10 in ND. I’m not sure how it is around the country, but of the capitals of NJ, NY, PA, none are amongst the most populated cities in the states. And I don’t really care about the rest of the states (and I like Mass, but it doesn’t fit my example), so that’s that.
You’ve certainly piqued my interest in regard to populations of capitals v. the states they represent.
- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 1 week ago:
Always the answer until it goes to complete shit. Folks will always suggest other forks, but in the same breath describe them as subpar compared to Firefox base. FF is still best, just tweak it a smidge, browse away.

So that second one is interesting, because it brings up the whole pants things. Pants appears plural, but you don’t wear a pant. Seems to be a similar situation for tights here. A pair of pants. Hmmm. Got a do some research here about the history of pants.

- Comment on "A guitarist who's also an astronaut" sounds more impressive than "An astronaut who plays the guitar", despite both meaning the same thing. 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, but also 2 would never be true. Nobody is a primary guitarist and hobbyist astronaut. Astronaut is always someone’s primary, and the rest is an afterthought. At least “real” astronauts, not space tourists.
- Comment on Wyoming to host massive AI data center using more electricity than all Wyoming homes combined 3 weeks ago:
I dunno, I’m from New Jersey. I can tell you about New Jersey though. Our two main providers of electric and gas utilities are PSEG and JCPL. Putting aside that they’re both major corporations and those suck, JCPL also sucks at providing the service it basically forces you to get (because there’s obviously no real alternatives), and PSEG is pretty good. I have not had a legitimate (>2 hours) power outage since I bought my home 11+ years ago. Regardless of my good fortune, we experience struggles in presumably the same fashion as much of the country: the hots are hotter and shit is expensive AF.
I’m sorry none of this is relevant.
- Comment on Wyoming to host massive AI data center using more electricity than all Wyoming homes combined 3 weeks ago:
But it’s not the AI farm’s fault, because they get paid to turn off during times the grid is under a lot of stress. So they make money 100% of the time, don’t worry!

And I think social media revolved heavily around people sharing the mundanity of their everyday life with the world, and in my experience, that was very rarely the point of message boards or forums.

“If you can comment on it, it’s social media.”
I can comment on how stupid that is, but that doesn’t make it social media. The term was invented to describe the likes of Facebook, and it’s predecessors and … Postdecessors. Antecedents? No that’s the same. Successors. There we go. Had to work that out.
