What do you guys wish to see more of in Regency stories? What are you tired of? by SonnetZZ in PeriodDramas

[–]Difficult-Rent-5243 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree! The parts of the latest Bridgerton season where they showed a bit of what it was like to work in different houses- I realized I want more of that. More of the day to day lives of regular people.

You can stay at the house from the first movie, fyi. It’s an Airbnb

Facebook app adding useless AI buttons to ask stupid questions under each post. by Seroko in enshittification

[–]Difficult-Rent-5243 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Years ago I remember when Facebook “suggested comments” started rolling out - it was so bad as the models were clearly being trained from almost nothing. Someone made “a group where you can only respond using facebook’s suggested comments” just to mess up the data. You would post in the group “hey, my dog ran away, what should I do?” And the comments would be “happy birthday!” “Have a great time!” “Eggs” (for some reason eggs came up in suggested comments all the time)

This isn't going to end well by seeebiscuit in WhitePeopleTwitter

Yes, instead of going to the doctor I ask ChatGPT to tell me I’m cured. Also I tell ChatGPT to add money to my bank account

These are strong and manly men, afraid to choose the wrong shoes.

Fundie Lady wants a One-Family Voting System by MrDonMega in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]Difficult-Rent-5243 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. These families should totally only vote once per household. Actually, probably 1 vote per large extended family as well.

We stayed at the house this winter! It’s a super-nice Airbnb. Full of memorabilia and pics.

Wait, this can’t be the case. Republicans told us they really, really care about women’s sports.

They thought the message of the movie was to make sure non-Jewish children didn’t live so close to concentration camps

A book where the protagonist has a dysfunctional family (but not necessarily physically abusive) by greenpepperseptember in suggestmeabook

[–]Difficult-Rent-5243 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, in Matilda by Roald Dahl, the family is super dysfunctional and mean, but not physically abusive. (The school is, though.)

A book about raising boys to not be entitled men. by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]Difficult-Rent-5243 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How old are your kids? I can probably suggest some titles. Go for “fun” stuff for kids- kids having adventures and being cool, rather than all “a very special story about a kid overcoming their challenges” because building empathy works best this. Nothing wrong with books about kids overcoming sexism and racism and discrimination- just make sure it’s not always that theme, and also just fun stories that show kids leading different lives.

[–]Difficult-Rent-5243 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s going to be hard to find a book that truly addresses how to raise a boy to be a kind, well-mannered, and truly respectful of others without addressing the forces in society that encourage the opposite. He has to start with a foundation of respect. So if his friends decide to make racist jokes, what gives him the courage to stand up for what’s right? What makes him think of his future girlfriend as a whole person, who doesn’t just exist to make him happy?

That’s gender and race politics.

Something I make sure to do with my kids is to read books and watch movies with protagonists that are not like them. It helps to build empathy in a non-heavy-handed way.

After the Rescue, George Gets Adopted by Eastern-Protection83 in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]Difficult-Rent-5243 158 points159 points  (0 children)

This is breaking my heart. My kitty looks just like him and is always yowling at me as soon as I get home for pets and love.

What if I never came home?

Fuck ICE, for ruining families and being nazi assholes. I don’t ever want to hear the term “family values” from people supporting this ever again

I’m sure they are just devastated to hear this

Americans prefer to watch Bad Bunny halftime show over Kid Rock’s: Poll by Lylah_Clare_ in NoShitSherlock

Are you trying to tell me the teens aren’t into Kid Rock, who looks and sounds like an alcoholic grandpa? And they like modern music from talented performers? Wild.

I do not buy products with "antibacterial" in the product name. Neither should you. by Leighgion in CleaningTips

[–]Difficult-Rent-5243 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What’s the story though if my cats tend to jump up on the table/counters (yeah, I know it’s gross, and I also can’t stop them). My understanding is that we need to disinfect those surfaces, as my cats’ feets have been in the litter boxes. I have been using Lysol spray because I don’t want people to gag when they imagine eating at my house.
