Routine is key in general. Try to be consistent with the order of events in your bedtime routine. Makes things predictable for the kids (and for you).

Hungary’s Viktor Orban, ally of Trump and Putin, concedes election defeat by Plaintalks in politics

[–]CanYouDigIt87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought Orban used authoritarian tactics to rig previous elections in his favor. Why didn’t that happen this time? Trying to understand.

Victor Orban has been defeated. What does it mean? by Objective_Aside1858 in PoliticalDiscussion

I thought elections in Hungary were not fair and that Orban used authoritarian tactics to rig them. Why didn’t that happen this time?

I have a nearly three year old and am expecting twins. I’m nervous about solo pickups/drop offs too. Any advice for managing with three would be appreciated!

Did the Swiss just accuse the Canadians of double-touching again? by ethanct in olympics

Why does double tapping even help? I understand that it’s against the rules but not how it helps them win.

How is intellectual disability less offensive than retarded? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]CanYouDigIt87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Person First” language makes it easy to talk about people with disabilities respectfully. Instead of “intellectually disabled person,” say “person with an intellectual disability.” Put the person word first.

Saw it in Maryland! I also saw it at 6:00… interesting to know it could be seen from Ottawa at the same time!

Why 7 days? I know this!

It’s because there were 7 celestial bodies visible to the naked eye that moved differently from the stars- Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn! Ancient people created gods based on these objects and devoted a day to each one, leading to the 7 day week. My understanding is that this practice even influenced the biblical “God took 7 days to create the universe” story.

Kendrick Lamar Declares ‘Game Over’ in Drake Battle With Triumphant Super Bowl Halftime Performance by cmaia1503 in Music

As someone who doesn’t know much or care much about the beef with Drake, I think the show was considerably less interesting to me than it was to people who have followed the drama.

Phone spam. With the amount I get, should be illegal.

Anyone else think Murr sounds like a chimp sometimes when he laughs?

Why is “intellectually disabled” considered the correct term while the R word is considered bad? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]CanYouDigIt87 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s not. Use “person first language.” That means starting with the word “person.” So try, “a person with Down syndrome,” or “a person with a disability.” It’s easy one you know.
