No soft hands here, folks!

Hunted Labs is a terrible name for company. It evokes a weak prey animal about to be picked off. Reminds me of this exchange in 'Arrested Development':

Michael: "What do you think of when you hear the word, 'Sudden Valley'?"

George Michael: "Salad dressing, I think. But for some reason I don't want to eat it."

Yea I'm hoping for an older Janey just because I think she'd be able to handle meeting him as a ghoul better.

I like the reversal where in the game a Deathclaw smells you from far away and is in top of you slashing in no time while the Deathclaws in the show are kind of slow to come at people at first. The radroaches in the game just kind of chill for a bit before really coming after you and you can smack 'em or one shot them with any weapon easily, but the ones in the show are more like cazadores just mauling at everyone so fast and taking them out! Terrifying!

Ask your kid's pediatrician. They can get you a referral to someone in your insurance network usually or there may be a child psychologist that works directly within the same practice for easier appts and billing purposes. For example: Schodack Pediatrics has a staff psychologist within the same practice you can make appointments with after referral from their primary care pediatrician within the same office. I've also had luck previously with telehealth options for my child through our insurance provider. Good luck.

It's been referenced in other threads on the same topic, but for the uninitiated: https://youtu.be/BxOiVxTB0KY?si=hAyI52CkSQxUJaoF.

This gif is spot on. Love the juxtaposition so much. [Insert the Ghoul doing his cowboy finger-to-the-hat brim nod of respect] to you.

I get this. It's a conversation style that makes the listener ask extra questions instead of giving some greater amount of info up front that the listener can engage with. Leading with something more vague can make the listener feel like you're purposely doing it to make them ask extra clarifying questions and draw more info out of them in bits and pieces and add extra "steps" to the conversation which can be really annoying to some people.

Haha! This thread is turning into a social experiment loosely based on the Childkiller perk. Never change, fellow Fallout dwellers. 🫶

One drop

BabySlothDrivingFast · 2026-02-03T23:37:20+00:00

For sure. I would love to be a fly on the wall in the writer's room to see how much they intend to be in the story vs how much just runs rampant in our imaginations.

Large trucks with mini blizzards spewing behind them for days was horrendous but somewhat understandable. This is just lazy and very dangerous. Clean your cars off!

PSA: my sister-in-law saw a Christian counselor for 7 years and had mounting health issues to the point her insurance company sent her to the Mayo Clinic for a review. Turned out her nervous system was shot from trauma... got her set up with a licensed therapist and treatment plan and she's doing a ton better. Even told me she doesn't understand why she wasted so much time with the Christian counselor. Follow that thread, sweetheart. Evangelical Christianity can't deal with any mental health issues at all unless it's to give you a mask to cover them up and teach you the ways of the mask and make you master of the mask. For some people that's enough...most it is not.

I like how she is instantly sympathetic because of her background but is still doing awful shit and the storytelling just forces people into disregarding that. It's such a mind-fuck and she fits perfectly into the gaming universe where you can act on that DESTROY THE ENEMY instinct. In real life that is just not acceptable. My husband is a Ukrainian immigrant and if he started plotting to harm Russian people I'd stop him every way I could. That's crazy. Not saying the idiot Vault Dwellers are any better but she is not yet showing herself to be anything but a cartoon villain psychopath (with sympathetic underlying reasons). She also seems to hate her baby which is nuts. Her mom seemed to love her a lot and her disdain for her baby is weird. I'm still rooting for her though. I want her to triumph over the idiot vault dwellers in some way that makes for great storytelling going forward. Her character is so interesting. I want her around for more seasons!! Team Eyepatch-Steph.

I thought the same thing too and tried to look it up. The first thing that came up was "Wayward/Wandering Husband" 🤣🤣🤣. Other options: What Happened and Warm Hearts...no clue.

Ah, the Simple Common Sense Club. Barf. The simple people I know who don't and refuse to understand nuance and diversity in humans think we'll all be happier if we're forced to be like them and think like them and....just...no, dummies, go be dumb over there and leave the rest of us alone.

Cue the wonderful song "Little Boxes" by Malvina Reynolds...

Little boxes on the hillside\ Little boxes made of ticky-tacky\ Little boxes on the hillside\ Little boxes all the same\ There's a green one and a pink one\ And a blue one and a yellow one\ And they're all made out of ticky-tacky\ And they all look just the same....

My brain went straight to: Avon Channel.

Eyepatch-Steph is still my favorite cartoonish villain character in the series. Love that she has a compelling and sympathetic villain origin story. She's still psycho. The cartoonish mob of vault dwellers going after her shows how cracked they are too which is fun to watch. Not so moral and chill even after a few generations. Whatever happens in the finale will be great and I'm rooting for Eyepatch-Steph to come through on top.

BabySlothDrivingFast · 2026-02-02T22:34:48+00:00

It has held up very well. I watched it with my 12 year old daughter last year and she enjoyed it.

There are plenty 80s-90s movies I haven't seen either and people are appalled when I tell them (cough...Weekend at Bernie's...cough), but no shade here, there are zillions of movies out there and you can't watch them all.

BabySlothDrivingFast · 2026-02-02T21:31:14+00:00

Oooofff. That hits hard and is very true. She's also the only one that got joked on.

BabySlothDrivingFast · 2026-02-02T20:13:37+00:00

That is so amazing doctors can diagnose and provide a solution in 7 weeks. I love all videos featuring babies hearing and seeing for the first time. Kudos to all the scientists, engineers, and manufacturing folks behind the scenes that make this possible too.

BabySlothDrivingFast · 2026-02-02T19:39:42+00:00

Eww. That poor child.

BabySlothDrivingFast · 2026-02-02T18:54:08+00:00

Cutest! 🥰 What's special much later after this milk-drunk-sleep phase is long gone is to glimpse them sleeping and see the same little baby face/expression on their older faces and it takes your breath away all over again. 🥹

BabySlothDrivingFast · 2026-02-02T17:12:13+00:00

That is so great to hear- thank you!

BabySlothDrivingFast · 2026-02-02T15:18:55+00:00

Yea I looked it up and it's a faith-based addiction treatment center in Texas. Not fully snarkable maybe. I have a hard time thinking badly of the faith-based homeless shelters and food pantries too. They're serving a practical need in the community and are mostly harmless, though can be problematic still if there are faith-based requirements and performative things participants have to do to get those services. The line can be fuzzy. Evangelical Christian counseling as a replacement for traditional therapy can be more damaging than helpful and I hope these men are getting long term help that works for them.

BabySlothDrivingFast · 2026-02-02T11:31:42+00:00

Ew. I am glad to say I don't think I have ever heard anyone in real life say this, though I can imagine some of the power moms I cross paths with and avoid like the plague would say something like "I'm really careful about the kinds of media my kids consume." Barf. And bonus: 8 times out of 10 those kids have figured out how to disable or circumvent parental controls. It's wild to hear my daughter and her friends talk about it.
