I mean that was the second least useful grip position and makes it look like he doesn't know what the hell he's doing, but it's not wrong. There were a few games that made the dpad preferable

Even if the kid was fine unsupervised for an hour (a 5yo is extremely not wtf?), an unsupervised oven with nuggets, which take like ~20mins to cook most certainly isn't fine for an hour. Also, yknow, everything else that's heinously wrong with this

Wait 34 weeks pregnant? Oh wait ahhh so clever. Ahhh the monkey bars, we had those and a jungle gym both made of steel pipe with gravel covered concrete at my grade school. It was basically Junior Thunderdome really.

ddiddles posted:Posted in earnest on reddit. This man has been 25 years old for 30 years...the tragedy. Honestly I was confused why it wasn’t a little kid’s hands with the Atari joystick. You could probably pull off an interesting art piece by having different ages holding the controllers and nail the fine details of the fashion you can see (shirt cuffs and shoes) to match the era, but as-is it looks like it was made for a long, navel-gazey thinkpiece on Gen X as the first generation to grow up with video games.

Question Mark Mound posted:I can kind forgive that since Kappa branded clothes were super popular in the UK in that era, and from the looks of that controller and the blue spiral on the Dreamcast controller the original image is from the UK. A NES though? The Master System controller I get, but no one had a NES in the UK and even then that was prime Spectrum if you're poor / BBC if you're rich era.

cakesmith handyman posted:An unsupervised 5 year old with the oven on? Stellar. It depends on the 5yr old. I was able to use the stove for things like cooking eggs at 5yrs old. As far as the rest, it's not going to harm anything if you don't follow a food craving when pregnant. For as much as she goes on about the mall just being 15 minutes away, I have yet to go to the mall and not have it take a while to find parking not to mention whatever line's there are so I don't see her making it back in time to take the food out of the oven. And for her going on about how hard it is to get the kid ready to go out while pregnant, any of us with more than one kid deal with it whenever we're heading out. I'd love to read the chewing out she likely got in the comments.

Yep. Letting a five-year-old learn to cook with appropriate adult supervision is a-ok. Five year olds going solo with the stove is not. Lots of us survived neglectful parenting just fine, doesn’t make it wise.

My upbringing was helping with preparing dinner soon as I could push a chair up to the counter to reach, so by the time I was 5 I could do eggs and a kinda sorry grilled cheese sandwich. I'm going to presume it's a cultural thing at this point.

My grandmother taught me a ton about cooking early enough that my memory of it is kind of lovely but some cooking related skills are just plain second nature now. Kids really very much want to learn so some supervised helping doing skills that will come in handy later in life can be a good thing. Like yeah don't let them run the stove totally on their own when they're 5 and keep them away from the big knives but there's definitely stuff they can learn at that age. Then again I also learned how to tools and guns before I was a teenager. Ah, rural life...

I'd already used the stove under supervision by that time and was only okayed for butter knife unless someone was watching over my shoulder. This was considered normal in the Italian neighborhood I grew up in.

Because we’re talking about both parents out of the house in the Tweet being discussed. Cooking eggs while Dad’s somewhere in the house seems fine to me.

Usually it would be I'm letting myself in from school, my parents are running late from work, and I wanted something more than toast or bread & butter. In the case of the Tweet, going from what she describes, she shouldn't be leaving the kid alone like that.

My brother and I were fine walking home and letting ourselves in and riding our bikes down to Lincoln Park Zoo by ourselves and everything, but there were two of us and I was at least twice that kid's age. Leaving a single 5-year-old alone with the oven on. REALLY A while ago we were debating on leaving the kids alone while we ran to Home Depot while it was raining, and like five minutes before we left, the power went out. For like an hour. And it was already getting dark. It's not that everything had been fine so far, it's the possibility of an emergency happening with nobody to help.

Okay, glad you survived, but please don’t have your own children do this. Kids’ peripheral vision isn’t really good enough for them to walk alone safely on streets with any amount of traffic at that age. Will lay off you now because I don’t have a time machine to go back and do anything about this.

My elementary school was three blocks from my house and there isn't even an option for a bus at that distance. First graders walked to and from school like everybody else. I didn't have a key, someone would be home, but that doesn't seem to be your point.
