Other people also second hand referencing the circulating myth/rumor is not the same thing as a first hand account of the person. References to him popping up “within a century” is not a firsthand account-just people writing down hearsay.

- Comment on The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people? 4 weeks ago:
Global median include countries that might not hold school in a dedicated building, for starters. Also shit just costs more here in general.
Those fundraisers.are usually for extra stuff, too. Big Field trips or events.

3? Lol, we know you don’t have children.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Maybe your parents should have leashed you, maybe you’d wander off the fucking topic less.
HOW is giving your toddler exercise when they’d otherwise be out in the stroller wrong? They’re not embarrassed by it. They often enjoy it. Where is the harm? This is you PROJECTING your own stupidly conceived feelings into someone else who isn’t feeling those things.
You still can’t grasp your video thing isn’t indictive of literally anything. You looking at videos of shit where the topic wouldn’t be occurring will obviously show that thing not occurring. How fucking dense are you that you think this proves Jack shit? Common also doesn’t mean literally everyone is doing it.

I specified TODDLER. You keep only saying kid. There’s a difference. I know you know that. But your are determined to have a completely different conversation than I am here
I didn’t say you had to do anything special. That’s my point. It’s really fucking easy to find videos that are completely off topic from the conversation.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
You can find one video of people not doing one specific things, really easily. I’m not sure what you thought this proved.
I was always, and still, only talking about toddlers. Are there 3+ toddlers in a crowded public space in that video?
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
I do not believe for a second that a 12 year old would sit there allowing themselves to be leashed. Some 12 year olds are basically full grown adult sized people.
I’m talking about toddlers. I’ve said that multiple times. You keep imagining dumb shit that is not happening. So you’re right, the vast majority of non toddler children are not on leashes. Congrats. What a fucking stupid conversation this was. No one said otherwise. You invented a thing that wasn’t happening to be angry at.

Traveling across the US doesn’t mean you went to places where small kids congregated. It’s also more common NOW than it was back then.
Why are you acting like people are leashing 8-10 year olds. You use them when the kids are 1-3 so they’re not stuck in their stroller the whole time you’re at some public place (which is probably what your parents did with you). It really sounds like you think parents are tying their kid to a post, instead of having a connection on their wrist. Your arguments come across as if you have zero idea what we’re talking about and only had a visceral overreaction to just hearing this concept for the first time.
The kids often enjoy it, too. They think they’re the ones leading their parents.
try to find video of a place where more than 3 are leashed in the background of a news report or puff piece.
What a stupidly arbitrary and specific demand for proof.

Except American English is the traditional. England kept fucking with their language and spelling, and now everything has 6 unnecessary vowels
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Just because YOU weren’t didn’t mean it isn’t common. Your parents did it the hard way. For no reason.
I was leashed as a toddler in the early 90s. I am not ashamed of that.
You don’t leash kids at parties, that’s an enclosed private space with little risk of them running off, what a weird pointless anecdote. You apparently being sheltered isn’t a good argument.
Sounds like you weren’t going to places where very young children were in attendance. You use them in busy public places that require movement. Like a zoo. You see them all the time at places like that. It’s better than a stroller and you don’t have to worry about a half second of taking your eyes off the kids, they’re jetting into the crowd. Even more useful if you have multiples.

I was a leash kid in the early 90s. I do not feel dehumanized knowing that was the case, like some of these childless reactionaries in the comments are claiming.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Wrong, it’s perfectly normal.
From the sounds of things, you are not a parent trying to comment on things you know nothing about. The leash actually gives toddlers freedom they wouldn’t otherwise have. It lets them walk around, with some constraints, instead of being stuck riding in a stroller all the time. Kids at that age will jet off real quick. You take your eyes off then for a second and they’re gone.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
No it’s not?
They make leashes specifically for toddlers. They’re pretty common.
