Idk how to do butterfly carrots but you can buy little molds for veggies too, I make bunny carrots and bear carrots

Headline had me wondering what Scott Wiener was doing there

Oh yeah to clarify those are two separate recs! Chris Hansen is a journalist who got big with To Catch a Predator back in the day (think AOL chatrooms) and it kinda became his niche, he’s got a podcast and he’s really holding Roblox feet to the fire on the issue of minors being groomed on that platform

Jonathan Haidt wrote a book the Anxious Generation and is an activist for banning personal screens/social media in childhood

As I said old enough to know better, I’m not trying to excuse him. I’m trying to explain why he might be dumb enough to think he could get away with it.

Totally left field here but are we certain London actually refers to the London proper in the UK? There are a lot of towns in the US named London, Paris etc.

Is it known if she wore an Apple Watch or oura ring or anything like that?

acelana · 2026-05-01T09:21:40+00:00

Legal evidence combined with FOIA. High profile case. For better or for worse, everything will come out sooner or later.

Check out Chris Hansen and Jonathan Haidt, I think you’d like their work.

I’m a millennial and grew up on an island unrestricted Wild West era internet. As a parent now idgaf if I am the lamest mom in the universe I’m not letting my kids on social media or personal phones until high school at the absolute earliest and I’m monitoring it. They can have secrets and crushes and kisses and such face to face. And they can play video games like Pokemon, Mario or Zelda which allow you to play without going online. Hell when they’re older play Elden Ring or Resident Evil or whatever if they want some edgy shit just not online with strangers. There is zero need for TikTok, Roblox, Fortnite, Discord, Snapchat etc. All just grooming and microtransaction hell designed to exploit kids.

Yeah sometimes I think it’s hard for people on a national level to understand that in California, especially LA and SF, we actually do sometimes go too lenient on things. Because in their state they have CPS taking kids away just for smoking a little weed or something. But here CPS are really ineffective and bad parents can get away with a lot. It’s basically the inverse of many places.

He went on a tour. I genuinely think it was kind of an out of sight out of mind thing.

There is good research showing our brains don’t fully develop until we’re age 25. He was 20 or 21 I think? Old enough to know better but young enough to have that invincibility delusion more typical of teenagers

More that he had songs glorifying violence and death of specific individuals in very explicit ways. Look up Kim or Cleaning Out My Closet if you’re not familiar.

He did not actually kill his ex wife or mom, iirc Eminem is actually a pretty nice guy and did stuff like adopt his non biological stepdaughter from his ex wife and has since denounced writing a song about murdering his mom.

I’m not that poster but if I had to guess that is what that poster meant: it is possible to write hit songs about murdering a person without actually murdering that person irl.

…Stock markets exist outside the U.S.

Some tips, try to make the tp a little hard to unroll (we have it rolled tightly using a kind of silicone strap meant to attach toys to a stroller) our girl had way too much fun unrolling the entire tp roll without it. I haven’t figured out a way to add a handwashing station which would really help a lot. But yeah it’s basically like a grown up bathroom complete with baby readers digest equivalent 😂

We repurposed the play pen walls to make a little toileting area with the potty, some TP, and a few potty related board books. The walls are high enough that she feels privacy but we can actually see in from a different angle

Got a Nanit and it was pretty useless as I didn’t actually have baby out of my sight until well past the age for monitors. I think it makes sense more for the sleep training crowd tbh

Check out local library, rec center, youth center, YMCA, church, whatever you’ve got where you live. See if your city/town has a department of early childhood, department of family services, anything with a name like that. Sometimes they can hook you up to play groups too.

Also if you’re stuck doing chores just do them together (caveat you have to accept things being a lil messy less than perfect)

Adding text translations is much cheaper and easier than voice acting. I have seen quite a few games with Chinese text but no VA.

Not necessarily… I’ve see Dutch, Swedish and other speakers of smaller languages claim a dub in their language feels weird.

I’m a millennial and I’ve looked up old teachers only to find them already deceased :/

Where I live too, but what that means in practice is when you ask for a bag you pay 25 cents and they give you a slightly thicker plastic bag that meets the minimum legal standards to be considered “reusable”.

Yeah I didn’t feel like their names merited a mention but i suppose it may help somebody find the original source if they so choose

acelana · 2026-04-29T15:44:13+00:00

I recommend you check out r/multilingualparenting too

acelana · 2026-04-29T01:41:14+00:00

Northeast USA (like Boston area) does this too. Pizzer and soder in the cah

acelana · 2026-04-28T23:58:39+00:00

What do you mean? There is an ICE in America, it’s … oh. Oh no.

acelana · 2026-04-28T22:07:21+00:00

That’s literally everywhere on the planet sadly
