  • I've heard that higher ed disqualifies you for hiring. They don't want people who can think for themselves.

  • Additionally, with the Pixel 9 holding down the power button no longer turns it off, you have to press power and volume up at the same time to get to the power menu.

  • Broadchurch was great for that as well. I adored Olivia Coleman in that, and often forgot she was acting it felt so raw.

  • Have you read the books? And if so, how does it compare? At least with the books I added a touch of Catcher in the Rye to HP & Narnia to describe it. Because really, Quintin can be a moody little git a lot of the time.

  • Amen to Uncle Iron. I legit teared up when he had his short in Ba Sing Se.

  • Yes! 100% with you. Any show that makes me care about the characters and miss them when they're gone is a win in my book. Same for character growth. Firefly, Parks and Rec, and Schmitt's Creek were like that for me as well.

  • I appreciate that, I guess meme, going around that the reason he resonates with so many of us is because he's the father we could have had if Fox News hadn't corrupted him.

  • Same, I didn't get why All Lives Matter was a bad thing at first. I'm like "yes! we're all humans and everyone matters!" Then I saw who was posting it and had to reaccess.

  • Llama (or probably alpaca) wool is no joke. There's a reason why most yarns are a blend and aren't 100% alpaca, it's usually too hot.

  • He didn't disappear, he just went to a farm upstate.

  • Thanks for that, that was helpful and encouraging. My parents never talked to me about anything and I was planning on being the exact opposite. But watching those kinds of movies together is a great idea.

    I appreciate you taking the time to write that.

  • Thanks for that. A couple of years ago I taught English overseas, from way too young through HS seniors and the 10 - tween age was my favorite. Old enough to be actual little people, but young enough to still think I'm cool. I loved that "start becoming who they'll be as an adult" phase, it really was a beautiful thing.

    I know it won't all be sunshine and roses, but I'm excited for this opportunity!

  • Yeah, the Hitler Youth propaganda is what I'm afraid of. Hopefully, I can counteract that in day to day life, but the thought still scares me.

  • You sound like a good dad. I'm in the process of becoming one to a tween and I appreciated reading your post. Thank you.

  • I'm in the process of adopting a tween and that was my plan. DNS filter to block malware, ads, and I think I have it set to block gambling sites (which probably isn't necessary, but eh, it shouldn't also cause a conflict). My plan is to let him do his own thing, but know he can come to me to talk about anything he finds or doesn't understand.

  • I think we need to remember what's important here. Dead women and school children is the price of freedom.

    But wearing a mask for ten minutes is tyranny!

    /s just in case

  • You could have just stopped at lenient. They're Republicans, they have no morals or empathy.

  • She got canceled before that was a thing for protesting the Vietnam war.

  • Though that's more for advanced users. If people don't already know about street complete, they should use the regular version.
