I’m neither a parent nor an ADHD expert so my opinion here might be next to worthless. But I am an adult who got diagnosed with ADD a few years ago, and what you’re describing sounds veeery much like ADD and how I was as a kid. (Ahem, and also how I am now as an adult.) Not EVERY kid with ADD will be hyperactive.… Read more

This is the most stupid and homophobic take I’ve seen in a while. Isn’t it odd how we never get these hot take essays about asexual/sexlessness for obviously straight characters? Read more
Every song on Prince’s Batman soundtrack is way better than this.

I don’t know, I liked the original by Seal a lot better.
Many of these tips are also good when working with an elderly person with physical impairments or vision loss. You can provide some useful assistance without making them feel infantilized. Say "do you see that step up ahead?" then give them a little time to problem solve instead of rushing in.
Actually please don’t do that! Doing so continues to contribute to a culture of “don’t make a mistake”. Which instead you want to instill making “mistakes” or “failing” is okay. It’s the path to learning in any situation. Go for the growth mindset.

The stores I go to reinstituted cloth bags well over a year ago. That was always a silly thing to ban anyway, covid doesn’t spread that way. I use mine every week, but I also use the self-checkout.
I personally loved the concept of the aisles being one-way, with arrows on the ground indicating which way the traffic would flow. It seems like that would make it harder for inconsiderate people to block the aisles. Though hard to say since in practice hardly anybody seemed to follow them, kind of shocking to me. I… Read more

The “May” part is because it’s spring. New growth, beauty, youth. February would be like saying a “winter and winter” romance. It’s about the seasons not the length of days. From a time when society was agricultural and seasons mattered far more.
The vaccines drastically reduce transmission and I’m not putting a gun to anyone’s head. And the reason people are being told to take it or else lose their livelihood is because they are putting other people’s lives at risk by not getting vaccinated. It’s not fucking rocket sciences. There is already a precedent for… Read more
It is easy to say that the films in any genre are shit and provide copious examples because Sturgeon’s rule has no exceptions.
Living up to the username I see!
Maybe now that (hopefully) all that commercial office space is coming up available because (hopefully) companies are encouraging more work-from-home we’ll see more urban farming expansion.
“What’s the point of having a 400-calorie salad for lunch if you’re just going to get hungry and grab a 300-calorie candy bar later? Do yourself a favor and just eat 700 calories of nutritious food in the first place.” OMG Somebody actually gets it. I am so tired of all the food police in my life making sarcastic… Read more
I’ve said this before around these parts but after a year of watching HBO Max’s “straight to the dumpster” quality Blockbusters, it makes it harder and harder to say that these are assembly line. Like, we know they’re going to fight a bad guy at the end and 95% chance they’ll win, but if every other major franchise is… Read more
