re: OT parents, snoo yes or no?
Posted by Pettifogger on 4/24/24 at 12:26 pm
Tech wise, the only thing I can really recommend are the breathing wear things from Nanit. Doctors hate those too, but they do help you worry less once they're dialed in.
They now have those pad things that appear to be reliable, so I'd look at that if starting over....

We had one -
- We stopped using all the functions on the second night home from the hospital.
- Our pediatrician laughed in our face and said "why the hell didn't you ask me first" when we told him we had it (he's younger and very similar to us with young kids).
- We did like the clips an...
re: Texas Governor Greg Abbott: "No more trans teachers in our classrooms"
Posted by Pettifogger on 4/23/24 at 3:03 pm
At absolute best, even if the "trans teacher" in question doesn't have some sexually perverse interest (and that's probably true for some), the correlation between identifying as trans and major, life-impacting mental illness is crazy high.
In other words, a well-intentioned trans person who ha...

Well it wasn't a direct comparison of course
I'm just saying that I enjoy the "presentation" that both provide. And that in the stand up realm, that part of it, how they do their schtick, mannerisms...

It's not a good comparison, but I watch Dave Portnoy pizza reviews for a similar reason (and I'm not a huge Barstool/Dave fan on anything of substance)...

I don't know anything about how stand up actually works or what you call the different elements of the craft. I don't think Bargatze's jokes are all that funny, but I stay pretty engaged just listening to his stories and the jokes are secondary. Same with someone like Mulaney.
I'll listen to ...

I agree with the sign's sentiment, but it's been done 1000 times on both sides so it's either just an owner venting (fair enough) or it a ploy to get attention (lame)....

They're expertly using the Trump battle as a distraction while they continue to win and destroy the culture
I don't really blame Trump for that, though. I'm sure they don't want to lose to Trump, but it won't significantly slow their progress....

I highly suspect he's a bit on the hoodrat side, and given the culture's affinity for weapons he could presumably have gotten into the NFA world.
Still, pretty weird we have a crew of three supposed gun owners (well, I don't know if SDV claims that) who all have a history of being pretty anti-2A....
