That’s a very tough question, “the point” of having kids
Sometimes with the best intentions and hard work at creating the parent-child relationship, you don’t get it. And it’s not always anyone’s fault. (See my parents for an example)
You can always love and support kids, however, no matter the closeness of the relationship. And god bless my parents
Parents nurture new humans, one way or another. I think that’s the only thing we all have in common

Also give people a little time to grieve — not even joking

I’m not a Biden fan at all, but I was backing him simply b/c I thought he had the best chance to win (I still do). Now we all need to unite behind Harris, but it might take Biden fans a little time to accept that

"Why can’t we go back to the good old days of Metroid when you didn’t know you were playing as a woman until later?
Back then, we didn’t have to have a character’s ‘whole identity’ crammed down our throats. Mainly because a character’s ‘whole identity’ was a four-by-ten stack of pixels.
But now that games are more realistic, I’ve got a job to do, friendo. And that job is making sure that Lara Croft winks a little weird so she’s not sexy anymore.”

What will be the tipping point for generative AI?
Will leaders and lawmakers *ever* address the massive harm that this technology enables?
Or just nah
>> If users click on these images, they are taken to AI image generation sites, and in a couple of cases the recommendation engines on these sites leads users to AI-generated nonconsensual nude images and AI-generated nude images of celebrities made to look like children.

I’m not expert at all, but those posts aren’t propagating to your instance for whatever reason
My instance doesn’t federate with Threads so I don’t see much at all, only if someone I follow on a different server boosts a Threads post

There’s a reception/banquet area inside. It’s really nice. I grew up (or went to high school) trawling that River Rd quite a bit. Great city to visit (until it hits 95 with 95% humidity… ;)

That was my experience working with elementary school students using Chromebooks — almost everything is a distraction
The required Google services bundling — mail, workspace, classroom — is the shit frosting on top
Aside from the kids who need tech for accessibility reasons, they’re better off with pencil and paper for most everything

Were you following yourself on Threads (via your dot social account) when you made the new Threads post?
I am also confused by that “Older posts from other servers are not displayed” message, but I generally have understood it to mean that since I wasn’t following the account, those older posts weren’t propagated to my instance
If it happened *after* you were already following your Threads account, I’m out of ideas

Quitting alcohol can improve your sleep, weight, and finances (along with your liver, of course)
Congrats on the lifestyle change! It takes a while to do it, but the payoff is so worth it

But those donuts are from Indiana! 😉

Oh wow, that's right across the street from my kids' middle school. I wondered what the hell was going on there -- lots of secret activities, apparently

Yes, this heat will kill a lot of people, but the coming heat will kill a LOT of people. It's terrifying to consider

My brother and I were both guilty of pissing with the seat *down* (risking spraying it) and our mom would always yell at us to lift the seat up first, so yeah, I was confused in a different way

I think there’s a split coming among all the rich and powerful who have supported Trump for business and tax favors
The ones with any morals or concern for others will be separated from those who only care about the effective estate tax rate

because what they did seems legal. Esper made the decision that US is actively hostile with China and that gave the military the go ahead. What could they be prosecuted for?

I always knew Cyndi Lauper’s (brief) rendition was a cover, but it blew my mind when I heard it tonight (clearly the first time I’ve ever heard it) 🤯

When I say that they are similar, I mostly mean that they both support the status quo of our economic, health care, and military systems
I don’t see many of them campaigning on decreasing military spending or increasing spending on social safety programs

Oh, I know. Aside from the Supreme Court now, the Senate will continue to be the biggest obstacle to any sort of progressive legislation
