  • Leave it to a Bezos-owned company to confuse customers and mislead them for profit.

  • It is because of your post I realized it's cent not dollars. I thought who pays 50 dollars per week for an online newspaper.

    In euros AFAIK we don't really use cent very often and it would probably be shown as €0,50

  • TIL that soda crackers were shipped in barrels, and that's where the name of the store came from

  • No no I'm talking about something made of wood like a barrel but square, like you could stack them.

  • Because the square barrel was not that successful

  • In the past I used to go to Macdonalds or burger king fairly often. I also enjoy whiskey and bourbon so I bought Woodford reserve.

    Macdonalds and burger king, I stopped going when they kept the food the same but doubled the prices. For the same amount I'd rather go to some local artisinal burger place.

    American bourbon I just stopped buying when trump started to make threats against the EU and Canada. In 2022 I visited the US, but right now I don't want to go to the US or use US products. Services I'm slowly getting away from but it takes some time.

    Even if your next president is Bernie Sanders, I probably still wouldn't trust the US again. Who is next after him? Can be a trump like president again.

    Where I live we have this saying, trust comes by foot but leaves by horse. It's going to take a lot of time to earn trust back.

  • What would you recommend to a parent if the kid might have ADHD

    Jump

  • That last sentence is very good advice, I would like to get an official diagnosis and have some professional opinion whether he has it or not. My wife doesn't want him to get a label and maybe other (worse) treatment from teachers or other adults.

    But you are right you don't have to share it with anyone.

  • Thanks, after reading all the replies I feel getting an official diagnosis is the first step. Giving your kid all the support and tools the second and medicate the third. I'll have to talk to my wife as she is not a fan of getting the diagnosis and giving him the ADHD label (it's weird as she has it but only was diagnosed in her 30s).

  • Thanks, I (like your parents) don't feel very comfortable giving my kid the medication, on the other hand if it helps him and in the long run he'll be a happier adult it is worth it. My wife got diagnosed in her 30s so she has developed a lot of coping mechanisms. I hope we can give him all the support and tools that are available. Thank you for answering.

  • Looking back what would have helped more? Parents that understand and try to support you, teachers knowing your situation and maybe helping you more or medication?

  • That sucks! I honestly (as a father) can't even imagine raising a kid like this, I definitely make mistakes, but try to support both my kids as much as I can.

  • Thank you so much this is really helpful!

  • What in your country/area is totally normal but visitors get excited for?

    Jump

  • Walking to a supermarket, riding your bicycle to work.

  • My kid doesn't speak English, he is 5 (and Dutch), one day in the car I was playing "Pennywise - Fuck authority". He said that the man said fuck. Even if you're 5 and don't speak English you understand that the word fuck is a swearword.

  • We clash! While we try to squeeze every last bit out of our hardware and tools, you are trying to keep us in check and not installing random shit because it might make us 0.1% faster

  • This was exactly what came to my mind too. I don't even have ADHD (that I know of) but I'm very much like that clip.

  • I think the formatting is weird, it should have looked like this (hopefully that makes more sense)

    So smaller than looks like a K,.greater than does not look like a K.

  • It never stops

    Jump

  • In Dutch the word for smaller is kleiner.

    So I always think, can it make the letter K

    2 < 3 2 smaller than 3 < K

    no K

  • Stop children using VPNs to watch porn, ministers told

    Jump

  • Let me give you one, kids try to explore topics out of curiosity. They are probably not going to look up someone torturing animals, because they don't want to see that. Kids usually look up and explore things they are ready for. Also "kids" is a pretty diverse group, a 5 year old and a 15 year old kid are very different.

    For real young kids parents should monitor online behavior anyway. For teens, how is life this different than looking at a playboy or a porn tape. Teens have been doing that forever, the people creating these laws probably did that when they where kids.

    It's probably a lot better to let kids (teens) explore nudity and sex in a safe environment, instead of letting them go unsupervised in places that ignore the law.

    It's basically the same argument with drugs, offering legal options vs. going to a dealer and possibly getting much more dangerous drugs mixed in.
