I don't understand how people keep buying rams. They're just such pieces of shit.
Edit: make that Dodges.
No way they could be a mom, huh?
The news I see over there is that the housing market is even more fucked than the US one, though? Do people mostly rent?
You had me until the last sentence. There are a lot of deeply misguided—and plain fucking stupid—reasons that circumcision has become seen as the 'norm' in the US, but I don't think it's how the American people takes its aggression out on men?? That's a pretty unhinged thing to think. I understand the anger and frustration at genital mutilation of babies (bc that's what it is, in my opinion), but let's come back to earth a bit.
EDIT: since this comment is getting attention, I just wanted to add that it really does seem like people are waking up to how fucked circumcision is. We just had a baby, and as part of our stack of information brochures given to us by the hospital (in Oklahoma, a deeply red state), there was a whole page dedicated to circumcision pros and cons. You could tell it heavily favored not circumcising, and preserving bodily autonomy was it's own full bullet point on the cons side, as well as busting myths that people perpetuate trying to justify it still.
Also, in our infant care courses, they showed some really awful pictures of freshly-circumcised baby penises. We had already decided not to circumcise for obvious moral reasons, but that made us feel even more secure in our decision. I feel like more parents need to see that stuff to make them realize what's actually going to be done to their baby with the procedure.
All that to say, I think there's hope for decreasing the occurrences of this deeply awful cultural practice!
The sets, the wardrobe, the direction, the acting. All of it is so good without taking itself too seriously. It's from the same director of the (good) Mummy movies, so go figure
Is this the real reason why we have longer lines in the bathroom? In addition to having to finagle several layers just to pee?
...Why not just wipe the pan out with a paper towel and throw it in the trash? If you bunch up a few of them and move quickly, you can do this while the pan is still kinda warm, even.
Like others are saying, the .ml instance was nuked and it kinda killed the community on lemmy :/ That was where my first account was, so that sucked
I would definitely urge you to consider what @Dark_Arc is saying. I was one of the kids they're talking about, whose parents micromanaged all internet access and didn't end up doing well. Obviously you know what's best for your family, but as a product of that environment, it hindered me more than helped. I would hate for you to be doing all the work you're doing trying to keep them off of what you deem inappropriate, too, when it doesn't really help in the long run.
Just something to consider.
The Skyrim releases will continue until morale improves.

Thank you, I will definitely check! I don't think I've ever actually bought a microwave, they've kinda just been in whatever house/apartment I've moved into, so that's probably why it never occurred to me that that info was probably in the paperwork that came with the machine
I see, thank you for the explanation! I thought I was just stupid at microwaves.
You've never lived with a dog that's actually been trained then. I've had dogs my whole life and they've never done any of those things beyond the puppy stage. I recommend it, but it is a big responsibility, akin to parenting when done properly.
You're right. They just made her drop dead stunning in the games, so that's how the bulk of the fandom envisions her
Unfortunately it's true. It's pretty well known in beauty/aesthetic procedure spaces, which many celebrities inhabit. It's why so many have samey looking teeth, it's wild.
I've looked and looked over the years, but no microwave I've ever owned as let me adjust the wattage, even though I've often seen this tip. Is this just an EU thing, or a bougie microwave thing?

The pattern is this one! https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/baby-bear-hat-8
I made some adjustments, like starting with 8 rows of ribbing, then doing two kfb increases in row 9, before doing the rest of the pattern as described. I also picked up 10 stitches instead of 8 for the the ears, because of personal preference.
I was able to finish it in one evening, and I'm thinking of making another for his cousin that will be born just two months after him :)
