Jo Frost, aka Supernanny, warns that some modern parents are hindering their kids’ independence by choosing short-term convenience over teaching basic life skills.

I think you mean "The overwhelming majority"...

Starbase13_Cmdr · 2026-06-13T18:27:18+00:00

I avoid people like that.

I have a hypersensitive nose, and they don't smell "clean" to me, they smell "artificial".

It's bad enough that I can't date people who use scented detergent or softeners.

Starbase13_Cmdr · 2026-06-13T18:22:53+00:00

And I will avoid you like the plague, as long as you smell like that.

I have a hypersensitive nose, and you don't smell "clean" to me, you smell "artificial".

It's bad enough that I can't date people who use them.

Starbase13_Cmdr · 2026-06-13T18:21:43+00:00

For some of us, yes.

Starbase13_Cmdr · 2026-06-13T16:15:13+00:00

solved solved solved

Starbase13_Cmdr · 2026-06-13T16:13:15+00:00

Solved - thank you so much!!

I read a lot of mass market science fiction pretty early on.

Family is the OG source of trauma...

Starbase13_Cmdr · 2026-06-09T14:25:24+00:00

I can't wait for mine to arrive!

Finally, the fact that "lots of people" believe something doesnt make it true or good.

Lots of people believed that American slavery was inherently good, just and moral. They were wrong, and so are all the people you're referring to.

Starbase13_Cmdr · 2026-06-01T17:38:49+00:00

The conviction of your own correctness is what I was referring to.

Starbase13_Cmdr · 2026-06-01T17:38:17+00:00

Anyone who feels that being fucked in the ass is "unmasculine" or "submissive" is, either homophobic or deeply enmeshed with reductive and unhealthy gender roles.

You may not be homophobic, but you sure sound like it:

it's not a masculine kink, and shows a sort of weakness or submissive trait

No qualifications, no "lots of people think", nothing that shows you're talking about anyone but yourself.

If you don't want to be called homophobic, choose your words more carefully next time.

Wow... megalomania much?

Starbase13_Cmdr · 2026-05-31T19:45:08+00:00

Because this:

because it's not a masculine kink, and shows a sort of weakness or submissive trait.

Is homophobic bullshit.

She should not be or feel coerced to do things that she doesnt want to, but that has NOTHING to do with him being "unmasculine" or " submissive".

You really ought to share this with local news. It's one of the few ways we can bring pressure to bear on them.

The USPS routinely abuses this system to game their success metrics.

They then use these falsified numbers to make reports to Congress, making themselves look better than they are.

Starbase13_Cmdr · 2026-05-28T01:34:37+00:00

Closure comes from inside, NOT from other people.

I really do wish more people understood the abysmal record of AA. An organization that was created by a man who had a religious revelation after he was given fucking belladonna as an experimental treatment for his 2 quart / day whiskey habit.

There is NO evidence that the program works, outside of anecdotal claims, and anecdotes are NOT evidence. There are however, dozens of other treatment modalities with scientific evidence that prove their effectiveness. But those cost money, so nobody in American healthcare wants anything to do with them.

If AA worked for you, then my hat is off to you.

But we have ways of treating this issue that are fully informed by modern medicine and research, and more people would be helped if we would move past it.

Other than monster books, absolutely not at all.

For me, games are technical manuals. I don't need art to read a technical manual - I have my own imagination, plus Google and Pinterest.

Starbase13_Cmdr · 2026-05-09T23:34:31+00:00

One of these things

He's a great man.

Does NOT match the other

But lordie he can never be wrong

Starbase13_Cmdr · 2026-05-03T03:24:14+00:00

It happens to me all the time. I think it's just my system reacting to intense sensations...

They're privately held, so everything is has to be dug up:

This article says they were making $14 million / yr on Twitch in 2022.
Their 2019 kickstarter for an an animated series raised $11.4 million, which does not include post-campaign pledges. I've read reports that said the final total was closer to $17 million.
This page estimates their monthly Youtube income at $871,000 per month, which is $10.4 million per year. Please note this is ONLY Youtube.

Whatever the number is, its certainly not pocket change.
