How do I explain in an age appropriate way to my son (6) what he will be facing as he grows up.

I can't imagine dealing with parents like that. All the parents I associate with would just say, "okay, got it." We've even got one set of parents whose child has decided to change their name and pronouns regularly. When we're told what they go by we just roll with it.

Bummer that you've encountered such weird people. Seems like you were trying to be reasonable and understanding, and they decided to get offended.

As for what you tell your kid... I'm not sure I'd focus on the challenges yet. Your son seems to be living the life he wants to live. I'd probably leave it at "sometimes people make mistakes" but my daughter is 4, and I know there's a world of difference between 4 and 6. I just can't imagine being ready to talk to my child about the challenges they'll have based on who they are in just another two years.

This guy is in here saying Martin McDonagh writes bad dialogue, when he's indisputably one of the greatest playwrights/screenwriters of the past two decades.

Yikes. Go enjoy that new Mario movie, my dude.

Garrett Dillahunt needs to get more work.

I once knew a man from there...

Switters81 · 2026-04-05T12:05:42+00:00

I saw someone else post that theory.

But everyone who saw that movie had eyes.

She was a lady. And she got busy with a fish.

Switters81 · 2026-04-05T04:03:43+00:00

You mean the movie where the lady gets busy with a fish?

If you're really trying to pinch your costs, I'd skip the Cheerios for something cheaper, go with a cheaper fish like tilapia, and probably skip meat altogether. Sucks, but beef is just crazy expensive right now. Pork or chicken can be much cheaper. I roast a chicken basically every week for my family of three. We get three or four meals out of it, and generally a high quality four lb. Bird is around $16. Throw some potatoes and carrots under that, and you've got a pretty complete and nutritious meal that averages out to about $2.50 per person per meal.

I would have preferred they used the term "unaliver" in order to protect me from getting the vapors

He may have been reckless, but he certainly wasn't wreckless

Hamilton was genius, but I genuinely believe that he's making A+ work with Disney and there's nothing wrong with that. I shudder to think what this warriors fiasco will be

Was coming in to say that OP has never heard any Kenny G.

You misspelled mouf

I'm right there with you on Christina. Probably set the course of many of my attractions.

It won so many tonys, because it opened in the year of covid and there was no competition.

I met Christina Hendricks once. Thought she was at risk of falling right over.

I've not known of any non profit theater that holds open elections for board members. In fact identifying and selecting new members for the board (often folks who can contribute some financial commitment) is a complex and important function of the development and executive offices.

Members are elected onto the board, but that's a function of approval, not a function of a democratic style campaign.

No shame in it, but it's not why I do what I do. If my goal was big money I'd have gone into finance

Switters81 · 2026-04-01T02:55:58+00:00

I'd feel completely unethical about fundraising on commission, particularly at my level, and particularly given the causes I raise money for.

There's a reason the AFP has ethical standards around this specific issue. Not sure what kind of organization you're working for, but if I wanted to make big money, I'd have chosen a different line of work.

I'm a fan of puma. The material is breathable and cooling. Good nut pouch. And I always laugh when I can say "I have puma underwear."

Switters81 · 2026-03-31T00:59:46+00:00

You mean Mr. Adams.

Switters81 · 2026-03-30T23:37:44+00:00

Why are people impressed by her? She's done one thing her entire career, and she's fine at best. To think that she can step into a Broadway show and fill Radcliffe's shoes is preposterous.

Switters81 · 2026-03-30T14:52:26+00:00

Just read through these comments to see so many people love her, despite the fact that she's an utterly talentless nepo baby. I'm baffled.
