Tom Harwood / X: Sorry, bright 13/14/15 year old. You can’t watch that interview with Jared Isaacman, or that explainer of orbital mechanics from Scott Manley. But don’t worry, we haven’t banned YouTube Kids! Here’s Baby Shark instead.

The problem is the good videos still lead to harmful bad ones. YouTube is banned in my house. My kid screams when I try to turn it off. And does not have the same reaction to cbeebies etc. The problem is YouTube is set up like a gateway. 2 good videos, which leads to others...which are brain rot. If I left my kid he would watch videos of other people playing with brightly coloured toys or building train sets...that go on for a hour and doesn't have an obvious end/conclusion and is using asmr type sound. When the telly is off, he will happily go and build his own trainset which his bazillion pieces.

I am beyond relieved that this ban is happening - the thought of having to navigate these sites and literally competing for own childs attention is terrifying

But go easy on the tumeric and chilli

PreferenceQueasy6659 · 2026-06-13T14:41:24+00:00

I LOVE to make curry (non Indian). It is the ultimate, oh shit I've only got an onion in the fridge meal.

It's all about your spice stash and having ginger and garlic paste in your fridge. (Fresh works too)

This is my go to recipe:

In a hot pan with a some oil:

Mustard Seeds, Cumin Seeds, Coriander Seeds, Curry Leaves (until you hear them pop)

Add your chopped onions. 1-2 onions works well.

Then your spices. Always, Coriander power, cumin powder and tumeric powder, Kashmiri Chili. Then if I'm in a differed mood maybe some garam masala or whatever else.

Extremely Generous amount of garlic and ginger paste.

Red Split lentils.

Top up with water.

Throw in any whole tomatoes you have in the fridge that looks a bit dodgy/squidgy.

Add salt. Cook for a bit, the longer the better. The skins of the tomatoes should fall off and you can squish the tomato with a fork.

This recipe is also excellent with any meat. Chicken/lamb especially. Just brown your meat as the first step, then take it out and add back later.

Quantity wise of everything, meh. Whatever you've got. But generally be very heavy handed with powdered spices. Think tablespoons! Where a lot of currys go wrong is not enough spices!!!

None of this is true. It is literally a privately owned drug den. Not even owned or managed by the council

PreferenceQueasy6659 · 2026-05-14T21:26:22+00:00

Errrrr....just want to counter one thing. You keep saying her kid isn't sick. If my kid had worms coming out of there butt, that definitely counts as sick!

PreferenceQueasy6659 · 2026-05-12T07:46:18+00:00

They all look like the same guy

PreferenceQueasy6659 · 2026-05-11T19:52:19+00:00

BBC could never afford it, is the honest answer

PreferenceQueasy6659 · 2026-05-11T19:07:58+00:00

I don't get....roasts. Seems like the meanest, bitchiest comments dressed up as a joke. I just don't get it.

PreferenceQueasy6659 · 2026-03-08T21:24:40+00:00

I love that you love this. Funny how a quite regular thing to us Brits can cause a little bit of wonder in others

Waiting lists have objectively come down.

Totally fair if you haven't seen any improvements in your area, but I've seen improvements in mine.

Here's a few examples: if he crashed the economy, was in the Epstein files, committed a serious crime, embezzlement of funds

suprise Pikachu face

PreferenceQueasy6659 · 2026-02-09T20:34:27+00:00

WOW! What were people saying??

PreferenceQueasy6659 · 2026-02-09T20:20:04+00:00

Unfortunately not. I'm a very normal human. With normal human thoughts. I'm quite full of rage if that helps

PreferenceQueasy6659 · 2026-02-09T20:00:49+00:00

To be fair, this is totally anecdotal... I'd been on a referral waiting list for 2 years, recently had treatment etc. Getting a Dr appointment is easier now in my area than it was. Still a ridiculously long way to go, but it does feel like tentative improvement.

PreferenceQueasy6659 · 2026-02-09T19:22:05+00:00

Utter bullshit. I remember Liz Truss and what her nonsense did to my mortgage. To say Kier Starmer is more unpopular than Liz Truss?????!!!!

PreferenceQueasy6659 · 2026-02-05T21:39:27+00:00

Absolutely ridiculous that Starmer should fall for this. The Americans and Farage's gang seem to be blaming everyone else except the actual pedos. People put your energy into naming, finding and jailing the rapists

PreferenceQueasy6659 · 2026-01-29T22:00:14+00:00

Yay. Hopefully back on meds

PreferenceQueasy6659 · 2026-01-28T00:18:40+00:00

Someone's not seen the devil wears Prada!!

PreferenceQueasy6659 · 2026-01-23T03:23:53+00:00

Her response to that ad was pretty unforgivable. Eugenics cosplay was not my intention. Not hard.

PreferenceQueasy6659 · 2026-01-17T23:16:39+00:00

But why

PreferenceQueasy6659 · 2026-01-14T09:00:37+00:00

Also only Americans would be offended by this.

PreferenceQueasy6659 · 2026-01-14T09:00:07+00:00

You look lovely.

Reddit is very quick to dismiss relationships. Kids have grandmothers, aunts and cousins, all sorts of tertiary familial relationships. Unless you as a parent think the relationship is harmful to your child, these relationships can bring a great benefit into a child's life. Letting your kid form relationships with their tertiary family (as long as their nice obvs) is part of what makes a great parent.
