AxGrap posted:Having a kid was a perfect excuse to rewatch my favorite old shows. Batman the animated series, power rangers, X-Men animated series. I tried to watch Transformers with my 4yo and she just had a lot of questions I couldn't answer, like, "why is Megatron being mean?" I dunno, characters didn't have motivations in the 80s, he's just a professional rear end in a top hat.

Literally all bad music has good roots that lasted the test of time. I'm just gonna post on cspam to ask if my kid's music is good or bad.

Good soup! posted:I'm guessing the reason why so many of the OTA PBS kids channels are low quality feeds is to reach as many TVs as possible? HD screens are the norm now but I guess there's not much of a point to watching Wild Kratts in 4k, plus you can stream your local channel via the PBS Kids in full HD if needed It's there such a thing as a TV that can receive digital signals but not if they're hd?

Yeah this is absolutely a thing you should do, some day you'll do dropoff on your way to work except forgetfully drive your normal route to work, and hopefully you're not too much of a new parent zombie to miss the kid as you're getting out of the car.

Insanite posted:currently betting on this. it’s probable that my under-5yo won’t be able to get vaxxed until a bit after older kids, but going completely back to normal without anything for 5-12yos while delta or worse is around is going to mean a lot of dead and disabled kids. Yeah I'm basically left hoping that Delta kills so many other people's kids that schools are forced to keep mine safe. Wooo.

HiHo ChiRho posted:It was for the southern states, at least. I'm sure it was a thing, but broadly speaking my understanding was that the south wasn't really even that enthusiastic about the war initially and had to be bullied into it by northern merchants. The result of the war was to perpetuate slavery, obviously.

I don't mind when baby finishes eating and throws the rest of his food on the floor. But he's been throwing 90% on the floor, eating the last bit and looking around for more, and it's driving me crazy.

I'm really feeling the COVID and RPG chat, totally my jam. My kindergartner is only in school because of the mask mandate plus HVAC upgrade and she's coming out at a moment's notice if things worsen. I wouldn't send her at all if we hadn't done such a bad job socializing and teaching her the past year.meanolmrcloud posted:we loved the name Ida, and then 8 months and one day after she was born, the storm almost destroyed an American city. at least it wasn’t as bad as Katrina, but it was odd hearing that name all last weekend on the news! Must've been a trip, cleaning some diarrhea/vomit explosion while listening to the news about the wreckage from Ida lol.
