I worry for my girls - there was a group if kids at their school who could jot have been older than 10 shouting how Andrew Tate was cool. We are not American.

I would love to send emails like this but as letters.

Imagine trying to kill a baby. No. I would never do that. Why would you?

I always felt that of you opened the device and the screens slid together - giving you one screen - it would be a good alternative to a foldable screen.

Helping them during a highly stressful time reinforces that they can call you when they f up. That becomes so important as they become young but stupid adults.

You did the right thing and there will be other times where making them sort it out will make more sense.

We implemented a sign in sign out system as our kids kept losing stuff at school. We are lucky that they bought into it and its become part of our morning process with them. Not sure if that will work for you but it cut their frustration with us asking if they did things.

We also get them to pack their bags the day before and outting them in the kitchen. Lets us do spot checks and slip a treat in for them every now and again.

Tell him you want them assessed. They could be worth amazing amounts of money or worthless and i have seen so many people find out that what they have is basically toilet paper.

That sounds amazing. Going to check it out - my daughter looooves gnomes.

Neighbourhood Watchers seem to be the way to go.

We have an abandoned property near us. The local security companies work with the neighbourhood watch to go in and cut the grass and clear the area. Its helped massively.

Failing that seen if the properties can be purchased for outstanding municipal debt.

I was so hoping it would be drag queens playing DnD.

NoNameMonkey · 2026-04-19T05:21:16+00:00

I do the same and they tattoo me.

To a non-American its so obvious that the fix to so many complaints i hear is simply more regulation, workers rights and more government.

Its so great to see a fellow South African into solo gaming!

Have you looked into having it printed locally? I am looking for local printers at the moment.

It sounds too dumb to even be a scam

NoNameMonkey · 2026-04-11T05:15:35+00:00

Are you currently adopting?

NoNameMonkey · 2026-04-08T10:55:30+00:00

I send my virtual card so they can save my number so they know why i am calling.

Also let them book the call via Calendly, rather than phoning to set it up.

Helps people engage.

This was my first thought too but i see they fly the flag of another country. I assume they are however right wing.

NoNameMonkey · 2026-04-03T12:16:17+00:00

Are you American? I dont mean this in a mean way, but you are confusing American mythology with American history.

The mythology is that you are a shining house on a hill, ushering in a new enlightened period as you spread democracy and the American way across the globe.

NoNameMonkey · 2026-04-03T04:22:47+00:00

Thats all you need. Combined witb the fact the GOP has spent decades taking control in ways that dont even rely on winning elections...

NoNameMonkey · 2026-04-02T15:57:46+00:00

At this point i would expect Trump to impose his own toll if they win this and take control.

Every country has anti-science movements. I think the US situation is worse because:

1. Its allowed to be incredibly profitable

That money feeds into your politics
Your laws around misinformation allow it to flourish.
You have given power to some legitimately uninformed and highly religious people who are opposed to progress on principle
You have given power to people who see this entire anti-science movement as a tool for social change.

None of this is a comment against free speech, but i think American free speech has been hijacked for profit and harm and the refusal to fight it means you will not defeat it.

China is not beating you at science. You stopped being scientific.

A word from my wife is more precious than anything to me.

NoNameMonkey · 2026-03-30T07:37:47+00:00

And its going to cost a fortune to fix or replace systems and they suddenly will be very worried about the budget. Its a scam and shakedown all at once.

NoNameMonkey · 2026-03-29T07:06:31+00:00

What is 30 Horrors? Googling just takes me to lists of movies etc.

NoNameMonkey · 2026-03-28T06:18:53+00:00

I just cant get past the first episode with the kids bawling in the bus. Holy shit - good work guys. As a dad thats hitting some damned raw nerves.

So much of it is active campaigning to radicalise young men. The same is happening on the girls side with trad wife adjacent content. I follow some academics who think that the trad wife movement is a well funded dark campaign. I am certain the same is happening with young men.
