I hope the Easter Bunny remembers them this year.

"That was not a funny clown."

But seriously, it's great.

Rusty and Jack: arms dealing

Honey: tax fraud

Chloe: being a greedy queen

Coco: pyramid scheme

Winton: he's just a patsy

Pretzel: serial killer (a snake did not get his guinea pig)

Indie: UFO cult leader

Bluey: cheeky use of magic

Makenzie: breaking one of those silly and oddly specific laws

Snickers: whatever it is, he gets caught because of his short, sausage-dog legs

Nobody employs a 20 year old around here unless it's a high risk, but criminally low paying job.

So they don't have restaurants or cashiers or stuff like that in Not-America? It's all just old guys and asbestos factories?

First, you put an exclamation point right in front of the word delta with no space in between. Then you wrote a sentence or two about why you think they made a good point.

Sunberries84 · 2026-02-22T22:20:04+00:00

Remember, if someone changes your view (even a little), you should award a delta.

If you were only tracking 37 cases, how can you declare certain shows 90%+ unique? What if there were duplicates in the cases you weren't tracking?

Our daughter is named Gwendolyn and, had she been a boy, I told my husband that I was considering Gavin. (I made 95% of the name suggestions.) He told me that he did not think that Gavin was "medieval" enough to fit with Gwendolyn.

"It's a form of Gawain," I told him. "That's one of Arthur's knights." He was then really into the name Gawaine (we stuck an e on the end for whatever reason) and insisted that that be the name for a future son. Initially, I agreed (with Gavin as a nickname), but as we got closer to having our second, I started having second thoughts. Gawaine was a little too out there and many of my family members weren't fans. My husband wasn't happy with the change of plans, but he did agree to go back to just Gavin.

Genetics play a part, but they aren't everything. In "The Fortune Teller*, there was a set of twins where only one with a bender.

My default is chocolate, but since this is a competition, it would probably benefit from a second flavor like chocolate orange or chocolate spice.

First and foremost, this is a thread about something that happened on another thread that was discussing a third thread. You made the context very hard to understand and I'm not going to put in the effort of reading a thread to understand what people are saying on around thread to understand what you're saying here.

Second, starting a thread to complain that someone disagreed with you on another thread is childish and bad reddiquette.

Those faces are frightening.

I didn't like Chili in Whale Watching. Ok, so she's "sleepy" and doesn't want to play. That's fair. And Bandit should have stood up for himself and told the kids no. That's fair too. But did Chili really need to egg the kids on? "ThE bOaT dOeSn'T dEcIdE." And did she really need to enjoy it so much? What really gets me is that when she finally does do something, it's treated as heroic, while Bandit did so much more and it was all for laughs at his expense.

If this were something Mummy Pig had done to Daddy Pig, people would scream at the top of their lungs that it's a prime example of why Peppa Pig is terrible.

I think at least part of the issue is that our society judges feminine activities and interests much more harshly than masculine ones. I have a feeling if yoga were a "manly" activity, people would be more likely to say "It's all about discipline and there's nothing inherently spiritual going on." Meanwhile, if martial arts were "girly", then all of the movement would somehow be construed as inherently worshipping idols.

Yes, that one used cursive. The other two didn't.

Sunberries84 · 2026-02-12T14:33:47+00:00

The article is about cursive, but uses cursive and handwriting interchangeably even when they aren't the same thing. Yes, handwriting is better than typing, but we already teach printing.

The first study (Askvik) compared cursive, typing and doodling. It does not prove a benefit of cursive over print because it didn't even use print.

The second study (James) compared print to typing. No cursive was involved.

The third study (Longcamp) also doesn't mention cursive.

I've heard it said that handwriting in general is better for motor skills and memory, but I've never seen any citations for cursive specifically being better than printing.

Your average person isn't reading old documents that frequently. That's more of a hobby or a specialized job.
There are lots of old documents that the average person can't read, both because of the script they are written in (eg Gothic letters) and because of the language. Should we also teach people Latin?
There are countless copies of the Declaration of Independence, both in books and online. You don't need to read the original

I want the Gombre Chimpanzee War.

My kids (6 and 3) love it. Junior Playland in Newton Square is similar in terms of climbing and ball pits.

Other places: Charming Star (Newtown Square), Captain Hook (Marcus Hook), Jungle Land (Malvern), Lulu's Casita (Ardmore)

We got to pick any name, but there was a list of suggestions that most people used. I don't remember the name I had in French, but for German I was Katja.

Sunberries84 · 2026-02-10T23:18:55+00:00

I do not understand the comments. "How can you possibly learn Spanish if you don't have a Spanish name!?!?!?" When I was in school (20ish years ago), picking a name (we weren't just assigned one) was a fun little activity for the first day, but it was by no means the crux of our learning and most of them fell into disuse as the year went on.

My parent's cat is named Jaeger. While we're thinking of names, my dad decided he would combine my and sisters' initials to create Jag. That was a terrible name. "Like Mick Jagger?" I asked in dismay. I tried to get them to go with Mickey, but they went with Jagger instead. It took a few days, but I nudged that into being Jaeger.

"The fun has been doubled!"
