shoelace

It’s very inoffensive. That’s definitely what they were going for but that also means there’s not much to say about it.

It might be harder to pull that off without making the phone thicker in the process, but still possible.

It drives me nuts about how often I see the comments section of an article have one smartass pasting the GPT summary of that article. The quality of that content is comparable to the “reply girl” shit from 10 years ago.

Sorry… Guess I don’t get notifications when I get a response. Your point is valid for infants, though obviously can’t be sustainable forever. Maybe the cutoff is once your child learns basic communication, but at some point crying for attention shouldn’t be universally rewarded with positive reinforcement as it can encourage negative habits.

Gives me Simpsons vibes.

Chalmers: Ah- Aurora Borealis!? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen!?
Skinner: Yes.
Chalmers: …May I see it?
Skinner: …No.

Gonna have to try these out later, thanks!

I dunno if that’s exactly comparable. Yes, you’re technically correct…but then we should expect phones to either be thicker or have smaller battery capacity to compensate. That’s probably a fine trade-off for you (and probably for me), but that’s not universally true.

The concept of “tough love” can mean a lot of different things and dismissing it as having “no value” is painting with too broad a stroke.

In this specific instance, it’s helpful because kids need to learn at some point that they can’t always cry to get what they want. This absolutely has value because otherwise they continue that behavior as toddlers (and sometimes even past that if you keep enabling them…).

I feel like Lovers gets pretty stressful at times if you’re playing 2p. I prefer more chill co-op experiences.

The big test for users is going to be once the apps shut down. Right now, it’s still very convenient to browse whatever is left on reddit. On July 1st…we’ll see.
