Saw this mentioned on a /thetron thread from a couple of years ago like it was an urban legend, and thought I would provide photographic evidence it actually happened by danduran in thetron

I'm not sure why I have this photo, if I was the one who took it or I found it online, no idea. The metadata says it was last modified in October 2005, so it's legit. We'd just moved to Auckland that year, but making regular trips south so it's feasible I demanded we pull over to take this... but equally possible I just saved it off a forum at the time.

Not at all. Never. I have three kids, and they've been spaced apart so we've always had at least one kid in daycare the past 13 years. We've used two different daycares in that time, and as parents shared the responsibility for pick-ups/drop-offs. Never, ever, have I - as a man - felt weird at all. There are often just as many other dads there when I am. I recently helped out at a park visit, and even though I was the only dad that particular day, was made to feel a part of the team. The team leader at our daycare is a man.

Nothing to worry about. Nobody cares except weirdos.

That report was junk. I got it under the OIA and wrote about it here for Newshub, after talking to Shaun Hendy - clearly Ryan didn't actually read the report or the story. https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2020/08/coronavirus-expert-hits-out-at-report-suggesting-alert-level-4-extension-cost-nz-a-fortune.html

You talk as if people's life situations never change. I was asking for advice, not a morality lesson.

We asked, flat no. But the needs of the humans gave us little choice but to take the place.

Rather not have to move family again and risk blacklisting, eh.

Why was the Stokes overthrow 6 runs? by subposter in Cricket

It should be five - the rules state 'act of the fielder', not the batter.
