Emotional overload
  • Regardless of the source's background, the information she mentioned actually reflects current knowledge of how infants and older children develop. In order to develop emotion regulation skills, healthy attachment, and social skills, we do naturally look away from our caregiver and others doting on us as a way to self-regulate intense feelings.

    In fact, many children can develop attachment and emotion regulation issues if caregivers aren't responsive and share compassion or empathize with a child's behavior (e.g. a baby becoming upset and crying if- when looking away- the caregiver instead tries to get its attention repeatedly and not giving the child a break.) That's why it's important to have some level of emotional intelligence to develop healthy attachments with kids and them with us.

    For more information, you can look up attachment theory and theories on human development (Erikson, Piaget, etc.). This is also mentioned here.

  • [Solved] How do I get rid of my dead name in iPadOS settings?
  • I know you're joking, but for those who don't understand sarcasm it's more akin to a rebirth name when changing it after religious epiphanies or extreme cases of cuttingoff communication from one's origin family/tribe.

  • Have you gone down any rabbit holes that gave you an existential crisis?
  • Your last line about hiding reminds me of a peaceful species, the Nox, from Stargate SG-1, who had many abilities one of which was to become invisible and shield their community from detection. But funnily enough, they were so powerful and advanced they may has well have been treated like gods by anyone else.

  • Homemade tree for the BIG BOY
  • I don't know about OP, but when I put rope on my cat-tree's soft-fabric column I just wound it around the column (cylinder, don't know if it would work as well on a squarer support) as tightly as I could and safety pinned the bottom end to the 2nd to last row. The tight coil encourages friction and prevents slippage when he scratches it. The rope hasn't moved, aside from when I rotate it for a fresher side, since I placed it over 2 years ago.

  • Am I old now?
  • I haven't minded the extra bulk from cases used, but I also don't use Otterbox or their alternate equivalents or have a high end phone. I've had a case for every smart phone since I'm a clutz sometimes and nervous about breaking it. To each their own 🤷 . But regarding the original topic, I'd feel weird without a physical wallet after so many years of using one.

  • Other countries have better sunscreens. Here's why we can't get them in the U.S.
  • Here is just one of the many videos I could find describing the difference between physical and chemical sunscreens. In short, both, to an extent the physical kind included, absorb and transform it into heat. Consumers can get chemical kinds that don't leave a white cast, offer varying levels of protection, dry fairly quickly, and are easy to apply under makeup if that's a concern. I know because I've used a couple brands with these things in mind and have loved them for years.

  • Who else wakes up and has to blow their nose or clear their airways every morning and why?
  • Just for safety's sake, I would advise more for a diffuser with or without a light for aromatherapy. Lit candles unattended are notorious for fire-related accidents, and diffusers can act as a mini humidifier for some. But that's just imo.

  • is there a legal way to consume alcohol bought at a store, outside of a home, hotel room, etc.?
  • Yes, outside of Las Vegas, NV and The French Quarter, LA (other places noted below in comments, apparently). I don't know any place that allows it, but I could be wrong. I think it harkens back to the days of Prohibition with dry counties. Someone can correct me, as my history recollection isn't great. I'm guessing it's not much of a problem in the UK, or wherever you are located?

  • Is "female" offensive?
  • I think that's because the descriptors come after the noun in reporting. Similar to how documentation is done for other professions, like healthcare. If it's out of the context of reporting, or other situations listed in the site below, it sounds grammatically strange or rude.

  • What games do you recommend for my girlfriend?
  • When first starting out, I think relaxed games that help a player get used to left and right directions (side-scrolling or platform) and timing on the controls is a good start. Then evolve into camera and movement based controls.

    My suggestions are starting with these:

    My Brother Rabbit

    The Between Gardens

    Dawn (may have some camera control, but this is the most relaxing game I've played for that)

    Then move on to these:

    La Rana

    The Room Series

    Aim Labs or any shooting game that has tutorials/ practice mode (for FPS practice)

    These games are found on steam. Note, most of these are casual/puzzle based.

    I don't have much experience with co-op, so can't help you there. But I do like the suggestions so far based on reviews.

  • Will the world ever stop being anti-intellectual?
  • I'm reminded of an episode from Stargate when one of the Asgardians, Thor I believe, was able to stop replicators from attacking his home world with the help of one of the main Earth characters, Sam. Thor needed someone of a less evolved/"stupider" species to help with the problem after none of the Asgard scientists could find a way. He said with compliment, "It was your stupid idea," and Sam smiled back.
