Well, we did, it just requires functional legislative and judicial branches, which we no longer have
Edit: Y’all, accountability ≠ jail or death. The US Legislature and Supreme Court have reined in presidential power for literally the entire existence of the US. Even during the first Trump Admin this happened. What’s happening now is a total abdication of the separation of powers
Your phrasing here is all but certain to achieve the opposite of your desired outcome 😂
PBS Kids is a great option for littles! Free, no commercials, and supportive of social/emotional development (Reminder to set up a monthly donation to your local PBS station!). With the PBS Kids app, we’d often download a few episodes of something like Daniel Tiger or Wild Kratts for road trips
We rarely watch YouTube together, most of the time he’s watching a series of some kind through Netflix or Paramount. Trollhunters, Gravity Falls, Henry Danger, stuff like that. His only exposure to commercials is during football games, whereas I can still sing over 100 jingles from my childhood.
It’s still always better to limit/avoid screentime…
Definitely the case! I’m not always on top of this myself, but I do go in and remove anything that may poison my recommendations. At this point, I just get plants, history, and a splash of comedy. Thank you for bringing this to the fore!
My son is still young, almost 8, so I’m speaking for near that age level. He doesn’t get unrestricted access to YouTube. If he’s watching YouTube, it’s with one of us present and helping him navigate it. He always wants to watch the video that’s the lowest quality shit just based on the thumbnail, because they have thumbnails that stick out. I’ve taught him about “low quality” content and we’ve watched a couple so he could understand what I meant. Now, when he wants to watch something like that, I say “no, that’s going to be low quality,” he seems to understand and we move on to find something else.
Eventually, I’m going to let him navigate YouTube alone sometimes, and then go back and look at his watch history to see how things are going. He doesn’t know watch history is a thing, nor will I ever tell him. If things go off the rails, we will guide them back to the rails slowly and nonjudgmentally
That said, we were at a restaurant the other day and a woman was there with her baby and a friend. She set that infant in a high chair with AI slop on her phone right in its face. The kid definitely didn’t disturb her conversation, because it looked like a zombie. Godspeed, child
I’ve read scientists think the Chicxulub impact may have registered a 13
The best cure for being too anxious to go to the library or ride the bus is to go to the library and ride the bus. Your rationales for not doing these things don’t hold up, because the entire point of this advice is to help you get used to leaving your house by yourself. Don’t make excuses and just go.
I think you’re reading way more into this than exists
No, they’re much older than that, and in England they just call them "muffins " I thought maybe they coined the term “English muffin,” but apparently not:
References to English muffins appear in U.S. newspapers starting in 1859, and detailed descriptions of them and recipes were published as early as 1870.
Rice is just fancy grass, too. So are oats, barley, and rye. All fancy grass
I’ll bite. Tell me what “norwood” means to you
I think the joke is that it’s gibberish
Braindead take. I’ve heard literally no one say what’s on the right.
This is illegal in many states, and even where it is legal, could get you fired from many jobs
Well now you can download the files and see what it captured
This doesn’t counter my point at all, Russia didn’t care at all about US defense company profits when they started this. There are plenty other cases where one could make this argument, but Ukraine is not one of them
I don’t think Russia invaded Ukraine to bolster Lockheed Martin’s profits
“It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere.”
-Voltaire, Le dîner du comte de Boulainvilliers, 1767
No argument here. My response was to the idea that the US has never had any form of accountability for presidents, which is just not true.
