Sorry to hear that. Remember that her love stays with you.

People having unfettered access isn't the problem.
The true culprits are sociopathic tech companies and their antisocial algorithms *and* the governments unwilling to reign them in.

You found a new market inefficiency.
Not enough journalists calling bitch-ass bitches by their proper title.

Freaking establishment clowns all lining up behind the incumbent.

Jfc, Garth Brooks sure let himself go.

Reconstruction 2.0 needs to be much more brutal.

I'll also note that the AAP certainly isn't perfect.
I'm not a fan of their infant sleep guidelines, for example. In that area, they place too much focus on guidelines built from consensus over what the actual research says.

Point taken. As an Xennial, I'm regularly impressed by the overall decency of kids these days. I remember being a shitstain in a world of similar or worse shitstains as a teenager, so that's likely clouding my judgment.

Yeah, the bad guys have a deep bench of Dick Tracy-esque villains.

Yeah, on the other hand, I think using "childish" to describe horrible, monstrous, unethical behavior *is broadly accurate* when we think about teenagers.

Kids are terrible in many ways, don't get me wrong. But they don't twist themselves into knots to justify being monstrous, evil behavior.

It sucks.
One thing you'll notice is that babies get all of the sicknesses, but they speed run through. So you'll still be miserable in symptom #3 while baby, who got sick several days after you, is already completely recovered.
(Except for boogers. The booger faucet stage never ends.)

Everyone should bake poop.
Not necessarily for fertilizer, but for that sweet, sweet Hoan Bridge smell.

Most of the baseball rule updates are good.
Ghost runner is terrible. We're deprived of absurd marathons and all their bizarre machinations.

Yeah, the lizard brain thing is real.
Probably not as physical for men as for women. It doesn't trigger all of the cascading hormones for me like it does for my wife (hormones which are *already* all over the place after pregnancy and childbirth). And my boobs are unaffected.

With my kids, I like to tell them that imaginary things *are* a special kind of real.
When we imagine something, it becomes a real thing. Just like every story in every book and movie is real because it exists and makes us think and feel.

Yeah, it's crazy how those creatures can unlock the most primal corners of our brains.
It's hard. Especially the first few months. You'll be out shopping with the baby and a little old lady tells you how time flies and they grow up so fast and you're like "fuck no I feel every millisecond of this."

I also would take the baby bouncy seat into the bathroom and set it on the floor next to the shower or toilet so that I could bounce them while showering or pooping.
Parenting isn't always dignified.

My partner and I would remind each other of this when we were knee-deep in crying baby and our brains were broken.

It is totally ok to set the baby down on the floor in a safe place and then walk away for a minute or ten.
It sucks when the baby cries and that sound can dig its claws into our brain, but the baby will be perfectly fine if they cry by themselves for a few minutes.

Probably fits the "no true Scotsman" fallacy.

War requires too much work for the big stupid shit bag.

I'm *not* saying this isn't a big deal. People are right to be upset, angry, fearful, etc.
This bombing attack is exactly the kind of thing that can and does escalate into bigger conflict.
But, as I see it, Trump only cares about flashy things. Parades, gold toilets, big bombs.

Trump gets to feel like a big man. He gets to show everyone that he's a big boy with big boy toys.
But he has no courage in anything related to foreign policy. And this is one of those times when his natural cowardice is a very good thing.

Ok, thanks.
That "it" he's voting for is so damn ambiguous.
