Yup we have different opinions. I would consider that a game 100%, just not a challenging one.

You can also leave without a key and then your roommate also leaves and locks the door.

So this would apply to all vpn servers in usa?

Anyway they are wrong. She is the Bedelia type of Amelia.

You all are monsters!

Amelias Bedelia are my spirit animals.

In US usage, it used to be that a situation could be “fraught with” complications, or hidden meaning, or difficulty, but it had to be “fraught with” something.

These days, the British style of saying that the situation is simply “fraught” seems to be way more popular than before.

Efficiency at work i guess. Maybe some cunning linguist can explain.

I’d say pram is still pretty British (“I have to push the pram-a-lot!”) in the US it would be almost definitely stroller.

This is one of those ones that’s different whether you’re in British English or American English.

The technical philosophical usage seems to mostly be on the British side of things.

It annoys me when people put double spaces after periods, but i guess it was necessary in the typrewiter days? Idk

Also an electroboom fan :p

It’s funny, quite a few misguided souls on the threadiverse seem to think that the /s is implied.

On the internet, it never is. That’s why we invented it.

“Piss over vulvas”? Not sure if that’s real.

For me, i make peace with this by thinking, the rules are one way for writing dialog, and perhaps another way when needing to convey the exactness of a quote.

I read the last article, here’s what stood out to me: the importance of stating the consequence in advance, and the importance of there being a logical connection between the “crime and punishment,” so to speak.

in addition to making sure your child is old enough to understand this type of consequence, a crucial part of using the tactic of taking something away is that parents should clearly state the punishment upfront.

“The important piece of this approach to discipline is to establish these consequences in advance (i.e. ‘if you don’t clean up your room, you will lose the ability to play with your LEGOs tonight’). As a reactive form of punishment, taking away privileges seems random and fails to establish the connection between a behavior and a consequence,” Fox notes. “When set up in advance, it gives the child a choice — if they don’t make their bed, they are choosing to not be allowed to play with their LEGOs. The sooner we set up this sense of accountability, the less discipline we’ll have to do over the long term.”

Another consideration that experts say can be made in addition to making sure the consequence is outlined ahead of time, is that your child can make the appropriate connection between their actions and the punishment.

“It’s very important for parents to make a connection between the behavior and what is being taken away, particularly as a child gets older. For instance, if they fail to obey rules around devices or video games, it makes sense to take those away as punishment,” Fox tells Romper. “On the other hand, if they can’t be nice to their sister, they don’t get to spend time with their friends — this sends the message that if they can’t be nice to this person, they don’t get to hang out with that person. As parents, you have to make the connection to the consequence for the child because their brain just doesn’t yet work that way.”

Re: the logical consequence, from my own childhood, in elementary school my teachers and parents came up with a behavioral contract where, if i didn’t do my homework, i couldn’t play with my friends after school. Since i couldn’t fathom ever being able to finish my homework, i just accepted the fact that i couldn’t be friends anymore with my friends. I don’t think that worked long term.

Especially if you already told them out to immediately find it, they just haven’t realized it yet.

On the second hand, you’d have to consider that they might not be able to concentrate on emptying the dishwasher if their phone is missing. That would clock as a higher priority to me and I’m not even a teenager.

I bet some Miller’s would vertically integrate in that case

Or any AI hallucination

Thanks!

Thanks!
