Why is anyone interested in anything?

My nephew was obsessed with Teslas a few years ago. I asked him why, his response? The indicators can be set to make fart noises.

My 7 year old daughter and I watch Mark’s videos together and they have helped to spark her interest in engineering & science.

At the very least, this is a wonderful photo op for MBS, regardless of outcome.

Whatever you want him to do, the next guy would reverse it in 2 months. Well done USA.

I love this. I will be using it as a punchline with my nerdy friends.

Close Cooperation with eachother. The USA can no longer be seen as a reliable partner with its wild ideological swings and a lack of strong commitment to the cause.

Make or break for a strong European State.

From a UK perspective we’re absolutely fucked due to Brexit. USA is unreliable, detached from the EU, what’s left? BRICS? Lol.

Shit.

He had been incorrectly identified as a terrorist and an imminent threat. The fuck up was not the person who fired the gun but whoever gave him the order.

Another Brit here, yes cops do get punished in high profile cases with video evidence such as this.

The contradictory examples listed above were quite complex cases from what I remember.

That said, as a teenager a friend of mine was beaten up in a police van in a case of mistaken identity. He was advised by his lawyer to drop the case as there was little chance of proving what happened as the police had smashed up his phone which he had been recording them with.

Due to the context of police officers being injured prior to what’s shown on tape. I expect in this instance, the cop to get a lenient pushiment.

Yes, I agree, a terrible parenting strategy. Also fuck elf on the shelf, since the whole book is about how the elf is Santa’s spy and you can’t question or touch it. I’m pretty sure this is what gave her the awful idea.

Feel you. I got accused by my brother in law of being some kind of psychopath for not wanting Santa in the house.

In their house, my sister is already using the threat of Christmas big brother against any minor hijinks that their kid gets up to.

I have a three year old, so unfortunately, I have another 4 years of this nonsense ahead of me.

It’s from an episode of Pingu. I only know this because it terrified me as a child and still haunts my nightmares as I approach my 40s.

Being able to pay for for therapy, or being financially secure to admit to yourself that you have a problem is a privilage.

Source: would like to do therapy but life/raising 3 kids is in the way.

Perry Bible Fellowship is the best Web comic. Been reading it on/off for what must be 20 years now.

My sympathies.

Anecdotal, but I don’t see the rush to downvote legit opinions because people disagree with them. Lemmy seems a lot more chill at present.

Are you sure Father? There’s cocaine in it.

On connect. Once I changed my settings it’s very comparable to the RIF setup I had.

First Post on here.

RIP RIF.

So incredibly sad, but hoping lemmy can be something special in its own right.

Using Connect for Lemmy and like what I’ve seen so far.
