Too Many Things To Put Here

All of life is peaks and valleys. Don't ever let the peaks get too high or let the valleys get too low.

when applied to drinks, "dry" means "without sugar". therefore it follows that sugary drinks can be called "wet". the meanings of the terms "hot" and "cold" when applied to drinks are obvious. thus the aspect of any drink can be determined.

for instance, green tea, freshly steeped and served without additives, is hot and dry, and therefore has an aspect of fire.

a mocha, on the other hand, while hot, is sweet, and therefore wet, and thus has an an aspect of air.

lemonade, which is wet and cold, has a water aspect.

finally, the drink which most epitomizes the earth aspect, being both cold and dry, is vodka

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

No unfortunately water is dry

what ppl defending kids on ipads don’t seem to understand is that there are other ways to keep kids occupied. my mom had a whole bag full of little toys and games for me to play with while waiting in lines at disney world. once your kid is like 7 or 8 they can read a book. they can color. or they can literally just sit there and imagine things. i did that a lot as a kid.

[spirulin4]

thanks for putting your wrong and bad commentary in the tags where i still have to read all of it. most of what you said is untrue.

[imyselfamstrange]

OP: giving children too young to process things so much access to ipads isn’t good for them maybe.

People in the notes: So you hate moms??? You’re ableist?? You think we should go back to the Dark Ages?? (My personal favorite because it makes no sense) you’re poor shaming??

Why is it so difficult to explain that children not developing fine motor skills and losing their attention spans is bad actually??

[purplesweetpotatoes]

also children can end up being entertained by just about anything. I remember building "bird nests" with sticks in the backyard when I was like 7 years old. That was it. It took up my whole afternoon and I was entertained the entire time.

[atomicjellycat]

I worked at a kindergarten for a year, and Jesus Christ these kids are falling behind on so many milestones

Everyone knows who the iPad kids are

I've seen it all from kids who don't know how to use scissors, and can't perform the motions right compared to other kids in that age group, to kids who can't write the alphabet or spell their names (the older ones)

And one of the most startling thing I encountered was every now and then we have a country day, where we choose a country, color in the country's flag in the colors and watch a little film about said country.

And I was overseeing the coloring, and one boy just refusing to color

It happens, stubbornness, bad days, 'just don't wanna' s happen, but I sit with him and continue to try and encourage him and figure out why he doesn't want to

And he keeps saying he doesn't know how to color

And I'm like ??? Just pick up the pencil and put it on the paper buddy, cmon

So I'm showing him how, and he refuses to try over and over

So then I try like, coloring while guiding his hand, and again this is a flag were coloring it's a giant rectangle, not much precision is needed

And I realize while I'm helping him, literally moving his hand to color for him, he's CLEARLY never colored before. He's 4, there is no excuse for this when kids start coloring at like, 2 maybe younger.

By 4-5 kids can generally color inside the lines well enough and draw recognizable figures like people and landscapes and pets

Eventually he got into it, understood how to do it and requested to continue on by himself, which was great! I told him I was proud of him and we continued on with our day but it absolutely shocked me that these iPad kids are so beyond stunted like jesus

He didn't know how to grip a pencil, he didn't know the wrist movements and motions, he didn't understand the pressure control, he had no control over where or how he was coloring like, these kids NEED TO learn these things it's STARTLING how many kids don't have these milestones and are just not developing these fine motor skills

Ask any kindergarten attendant and they'll tell you the same thing-

The best thing you can do for a kid is buy them a shitton of construction paper, decorative child-safe scissors, and coloring books

Please please please kids need to cut paper up and color. It helps them develop so many fine motor skils

Now don't be mistaken, the percentage of these kids are low, for now. It's definitely not every kid, and thankfully not the majority but it is still a problem

[theclockwitch]

What you're going to start seeing is a social class stratification of this.

I was at an MVA call--car into a powerline. Three kids, 9, 5, and 2 years old, trapped in the back of a car, crushed against a pole, live lines on the car. Meaning they were fine as long as they stayed inside but we couldn't cut the car open until the power company came and killed the line.

It took about a half an hour. We were all losing our MINDS thinking about three kids who had just been in a significant car accident, unknown injuries, trapped in a car without their mom, and all these strange noises and people around them. We thought these kids would be terrified.

Nope. All three of them were on devices watching videos. Like they didn't even register what had happened or the danger they'd been in or why people were so worried, or even THAT we were worried.

The most distress I saw the kids in as we drove the 30 minutes to the peds hospital? Was when the 2 year old's device's battery died. She went from sitting unnaturally quietly staring at Cocomelon to SCREAMING and throwing things and biting anyone. She only calmed down when her older brother agreed to share his device with her.

It was spooky af, man.

The mom thought she was doing a great job bc her kids were 'so well behaved'. To this day I wonder about kids who cannot process anything other than visual dopamine. How are they going to do in school? Sure? But how about their social development? How are they going to have friends? Boyfriends? Girlfriends? Anything?

Kink and Fetish patch notes

Class and Ability Changes:

Due to increased popularity of the "Pup" subclass in Petplay builds, for balance reasons we are nerfing their low level abilities including "being leashed" and "wearing a puphood." to keep things fair, though, we're also rewarding those who heavily invest in late-game abilities by buffing "sleeping in a cage" and "clicker training."

Findoms abilities have been nerfed across the board in an effort to give Paypig players a better chance to continue playing. We're monitoring the situation.

Daddy players have lost their buffs from the Father's Day event

We are aware of the disparity between Top players and Bottom players, so we're removing the "Can Host" ability as a requirement for Top players in an effort to rally numbers up.

Drastically lowered the requirements to spec into Furry class

Added character "Oath Breaker Knight" for some players to restore their previous classes for a small fee (Gold Star Lesbian class should be a bit easier to spec into now)

Item Changes:

As mentioned above, items "Puphood" and "Collar & Leash" have been nerfed

Rebalanced "Chastity Cage" item effectiveness depending on player stats

Food items have been buffed to increased effectiveness

Fixed a broken interaction with the "Gag" class of items pertaining to the "Safeword" ability

Added new item combo interactions with other items, abilities, fetishes, and/or kinks. (Try out using the "Blindfold" and "Bondage Rope" items with the Piss fetish for the Urinal interaction.)

Fetish Changes:

Piss has been nerfed from Very Rare to Uncommon

Armpit has been nerfed from Rare to Common

Bondage has been nerfed from Uncommon to Common

Hypnosis has been nerfed from Legendary to Rare

Cuckolding has been nerfed from Uncommon to Common

Eye Contact has been buffed from Common to Rare

Condom Usage has been buffed from Common to Rare

Added new Very Rare fetish: Tongue Soaking

Added new Legendary fetish: Ghost Penis

Misc. Changes:

Fixed a glitch that low level players get the "Freak" banner usually granted at a much higher level

Further fixes to keeping servers seperated

Temporarily added more PVP options for Pride Month event

I love it when a salesperson with a lot of expertise tells you something and you can just tell there's like a hour long rant hidden behind the words.

[lastoneout]

My fiancé and I went to get new shoes bcs both of ours are wearing out, and he mentioned to the salesperson/fitter that he's usually had luck with Nike shoes fitting the way he wants and she just got this look on her face and said in the most tense, restrained voice "Dont...don't wear Nikes." and then backed it up by going and getting him some shoes he did buy that were literally exactly what he wanted and fit better than any shoes he's worn in the last like ten years. She could tell just from looking at him that one of his legs is shorter than the other. The sheer, refined power of someone who knows what the fuck they're talking about is a delight to behold, truly.

[lastoneout]

For anyone who is curious she did say that Nikes tend to have narrow toeboxes that give people bunions and cramps and callouses. Idk how relevant that is for anyone I wear converse like a real doctor who fan.

[lastoneout]

So we just feeling very pro service workers or anti nike?

[lesbianralzarek]

sekiro is fun because it has the first souls protag with an established personality and backstory, which allows us to have the first souls protag whose life fucking sucks for reasons completely unrelated to living in a souls game. ashina is beautiful but sekiro lives in his own personal hell. yeah, the fact that he can die from being hit with shit from a butt launched by a giant ape is because hes a souls protag, but he also gets hit by his dad a lot too. he doesnt get yummy estus soup, he has to drink medicine that is explicitly stated to taste and smell bad, and the way he levels them up is by focusing on how shit it tastes and smells. worry not, tho! he can follow it up with delicious handfuls of loose, uncooked rice. he can speak for himself in non-plot essential conversations, which means the player doesnt even have to touch the controller for him to fumble a bad bitch! literally the first npc conversation you can overhear is people calling him pathetic. the game starts with him #girlrotting in a hole he could easily escape but doesnt care enough to do so. hes an orphan of war. his adoptive dad tried to kill him. truly he was born in a wet cardboard box all alone

So wait are livestock guardian dogs to their flocks like… Clark Kent among the residents of Smallville? He’s been here since he was a baby, we all know him, and he’s… generally one-of-us shaped, uh, approximately. And then when something goes wrong he suddenly leaps into action and does some terrifying impossible shit none of us could do. And then comes back home and settles in like nothing happened and he’s one of us again.

[relevant-catnik]

Hmm.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

[ruusverd]

Actual answer: the sheep know the dogs are not sheep, and they also know the dog is protecting them and take their cues from the dog about whether they need to run for the barn or can just ignore anything scary that approaches.

However, a friend once had an extremely premature orphan lamb born in December who had to live in the house for a couple of months with leg braces and all that, who due to spending her lambhood with dogs instead of sheep came out of the whole experience convinced she was a livestock guardian dog! She would patrol the perimeter of the fields every evening with the actual dog, stand watch in the barn door at night like the dog, and was more than willing to throw down if she saw something scary coming towards the flock the way the guard dog did. Tragically orphaned lamb did a convincing job at being a guard dog without actually having any of the biological advantages a dog has over a sheep.

Which I suppose made her Sheep Batman.

A Paw Inside Another Paw

[madphantom]

Our local newspaper ran a story about the legendary graffiti artist who recently passed away and. Literally everything about it is fucking insane. I'm insane about it.

So this guy has been extremely active for around fifteen years, during which he spread these beautiful, high quality pieces all over the country, way over a thousand of his standard signature, and probably thousands more. He did completely batshit stuff like literally spray painting an entire train from top to bottom or leaving his signature at the top of a 600ft tall overpass and this whole time, only five people from his crew know who he really is. To everyone else it's a complete mystery.

And then he dies at the age of 35. A few weeks after his death, his crew shows up at his completely unassuming parents' doorstep, reveals who they are and asks if they can host a memorial exhibition of his art.

Turns out, this dude has been leading an insane double life. In the daytime he was a meek little office worker with a partially paralyzed arm and no social life to speak of. In the nighttime he was a fucking legend. Not only did he climb that fucking 600ft overpass, he did it WITH A PHYSICAL DISABILITY. THE MADLAD. And throughout the entire time, fifteen years, he got caught once. ONCE. HE DID ALL THAT UNNOTICED. THAT'S INSANE.

I’m stuck in my room because i have a fresh arm tattoo that’s not exactly fun to drive with and my little sister and her friends are hanging out in the kitchen so instead of doomscrolling or agonizing over creative projects i’m sending him pictures of various car parts and asking him to name them

[avidcollectorofdust]

wheeel……

I think he likes it?

Shoutout to my dad who accidentally moved into an up and coming black lgbt neighborhood and was very disappointed to learn that all of his “new friends” weren’t actually interested in how to use iNaturalist or where he saw coyotes on his walks 😔🙏🏻

You misunderstand. My father has accidentally been on multiple dates now with multiple guys he was hoping wanted to be friends 😅

I’m watching Splash (1984) which is a romcom about a guy who falls in love with a mermaid, and when she chooses a human name she chooses Madison and guy says “that’s not a real name, but alright” which seems to imply that Madison was not a name until at least the 80’s and all girls named Madison are actually named after the mermaid. thought you should know
