  • My kids often don't listen, struggle with lying, have no regard for consent of others or personal property, and a host of other issues. Expressing love is not one of them. My kids (still young) show me they love me (and my wife) nearly continuously. The rest they're learning.

  • My neighbor's cat is mostly deaf. Because of this, he is so loud when he meows. When he's outside, we occasionally hear him meowing. He's seeing who will come and entertain him. The first time I heard it, I went to make sure he was okay. He was just chilling. He didn't want me to pet him, but he also didn't want me to leave.

  • Commercials seem to be normalizing an unhealthy work-life balance more.

  • Well, you just start like most anything, I guess. I talk to them. A commercial comes on and I say why I don't think it's good to listen to. I talk about them targeting children, why that's a problem, normalizing unhealthy things, predatory practices for poor/uneducated/whatever, and so on. I point out specific wording or presentation that makes it problematic and explain it. They probably don't understand most of it yet, but the way I look at it, I'm planting seeds that'll make more sense when they're ready for it.

  • How depressing.

  • Not by me! I work my 40 and the rest goes my family. I'm lucky I can get by with 40.

  • Writing

  • I agree that some connections may be made, but also that sometimes we expect there to be something later, and there isn't. So, that goes both ways.

  • I think those connections get made with multiple readings. No one is memorizing 400 pages and match small details to later events on a first read.

  • I usually let them go for me out of laziness, but I mute them for my family to spare them the exposure. I also regularly discuss the problems with the way things are advertised with my kids so that they won't get sucked in by them. Crazy world. Hard to avoid adverts in the U.S.

  • Depends on the parents. Most of us swing out the other way and test out other ways of being. I don't clean like my parents did when I was growing up, but getting used to it then means it's now not a big deal when that is required. I'd like to clean more than I do, and one day I will. It's not a big deal and I'd rather spend the time with my kids. One day they'll help me clean regularly. I was given 5 chores a day (in addition to regular things you encounter across your day). It'll depend on the amount of time to complete, but I'll probably have my kids do 2-3 per day. Just part of preparing them to live on their own, while we get some help with the workload to maintain a home.

  • You've predicted the next article from the Onion that ends up coming true.

  • I'm replying regardless of what I do or don't believe just to engage with the premise.

    If Jesus is the son of God and Heaven exists, he might do it to help us. He went through it once to help us. This time at least he'd know what he was getting himself into. If we are using the Buddy Christ universe from Dogma, the first time he only learned of what was to happen shortly before it did and those years were a struggle for him and went undocumented. Now he would have 2000 years to prepare for it. Regardless, if your torture and murder could makes lives better and save the souls of millions or billions, you might consider it. We're told he did once. The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.

  • I was young, white, and male with a good support system. So, my life was close to best case scenario. I was too young to vote in 2000, but I voted against him in 2004. I was naive to the importance of elections outside of the general election. I'm not sure why my parents didn't educate us more on that. My kids are more than a decade from voting and we are already discussing how we look up information to inform our votes. We vote in every election and we get the kids excited about it (they love the voted stickers!).

  • I would need more data points to draw conclusions. I will say the Epstein files part was surprising. We'll see where she goes on that issue.

  • That was the Bush era as an American (mostly just the white men, I would imagine), perhaps, but in some other places around the world probably felt pretty dystopian because of the Bush administration. Beyond the usual complaints, there was the Global Gag rule (don't say abortion or even think about saying it!) and the stop-loss policy (sure, let's extend your military service requirement to 100 years!). Those things, among many others probably felt pretty dystopian during the Bush era.

  • I used to really enjoy his unnecessary censorship bit. I thought the idea was clever and the execution yielded some funny results. No idea if they still do that and whether it is still funny.
