Next they’re going to tell us that a bird sharpening its beak every thousand years wouldn’t wear out a mountain made of diamond.

It really depends on the kid and the complexity of the message. Young kids are still learning the intricacies of the language and building a vocabulary. Not talking down to them helps build those skills up. But at the end of the day, if the message is not getting across, it’s the fault of the communicator.

Plus it’s an annoying flex to say “see how amazing my kid is? It’s all because of me!” Some kids just pick up language easier, some kids sleep all the way through the night earlier, some kids toilet train easier, etc. Usually it’s better for parents to quietly take the little victory rather than treat it as a reflection of their amazing parenting skills.

Wrong place to leave a habitat for bugs.

Fulifilling your dreams is all about the power of persistence folks! That, and having a friend willing to invest almost $70M in your dream.

But isn’t chocolate toxic to cats? You win some, you lose some.

So the caption is really: “man convinces 5 clearly less enthusiastic friends to play board game.”

“Thank you, but we follow Martian facts here, we aren’t interested in your Venusian ways.”

Gotta chase that sweet, sweet live service money though.

The thought of seeing someone shouting “Train!” still gives me nostalgia.

Why are we quoting each other? I remember the comment before yours. I made it. Idiot.

Because quoting in a response provides structure to the response that improves readability.

Also, you are posting on a publicly accessible forum, not having a one-on-one conversation. In that context, that fact that you may remember what you said doesn’t mean that it’s not beneficial to repeat it for others.

The “idiot” comment was unnecessarily rude where someone was engaging in what appeared to be a good faith response, and only brings down the tone of your entire post.

Why so often? I just updated my almost 10 year old PC that had one gpu upgrade in its life, and was still happily playing the 10 year old games I wanted to play.

Then I got the new PC with decent specs and decided to push its limits with some Stardew Valley.

It’s Australia. Everything tries to kill you.

Possibly he knows that, and is just trying to bleed his supporters for donations until the last moment.

The article has a paragraph later on that says:

In rejecting the plaintiffs’ claims for damages, the court said, “It cannot be said that discussions at the Diet…regarding provisions not allowing same-sex marriage are clearly in violation of the Constitution.”

I suspect the plaintiffs are only appealing that aspect of the judgment.

Stewart’s line about how can another administration be more absurd than the Bush administration dated surprisingly badly.

Does it want the hose again?

This sounds like a good way to turn an ally against them.

Does Trump have any leverage on Kavanaugh? He played close to the line with the rules to get him appointed for life, but choosing a person likely to be ideologically symathetic is more of a mutually beneficial arrangement than a favour.

It feels like the best way to get someone who is in a secure position of power like that offside is to tell them they have to do what you say or that they owe you. Kavanaugh can just as easily say Trump is disqualified, and never be told he owes anyone again.

Are you a bot? Because that was a rambling word-salad with no discernible point.

A certain portion of the population seems to already deify anything Trump says.

It depends on what the author was actually trying to say. I’ve never pretended to know what their intention was, and they haven’t added any further commentary to let us know.
