Seconded to Bazzite. I just installed it on my Steam Deck and I’m surprised at how well it works as a desktop too. Not actually planning on using it as a desktop though it’s nice to know the option is there.

Holy shit. I assumed we would have minutes not seconds if a plane depressurized. I understand what that would freak you the fuck out.

Ask me when I’m trying to sleep.

You really think he has the strength to choke someone to death with those tiny hands?

Smothered to death, maybe.

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.

It really is. I love the character growth and Moira’s vocabulary.

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!

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.
