NTA. Your kids were old enough to know the truth.

One of the sub I joined has been mostly private since the protest began. They only open the sub up once a week or so for the community to vote for the next step the sub should take.

I think I'll mostly be staying here. But there're a few subreddits that I might check from time to time. But if those communities move elsewhere then there's a chance that I would abandon Reddit entirely.

I use rice cooker. I don't think I can cook decent rice on a stovetop, I just don't have the skills.

My go-to rice is Thai Jasmine rice, white or brown or a mix of both. Wash the rice at least twice, add water according to the type and amount of rice, let it soak for half an hour or if in a rush, skip. Select the appropriate cook option for the rice, wait, and enjoy.

I find it best to cook the rice plain. Good Thai Jasmine rice has a very subtle sweet flavour when eaten on its own.
