I think there’s a big difference in the way China approaches school work for children that makes this work differently. Kids are in school for far longer in China, (I’ve heard different numbers, but something like 10- 12 hrs a day) so restricting access to games to a few hours a day is really negligible considering how much free time they have. It mostly ensures they aren’t playing games during classes or missing sleep to play games.

I don’t think such an approach would work in America, partially because the education isn’t as rigorous.

I also don’t think the government should act as a replacement for proper parenting. I think it’s your duty as a parent to monitor your children’s activities and see if they’re healthy, for games and anything else, really.

So IRC is really cool huh

Fishing is a great way to get out, explore your local waterways and learn about the biodiversity they hold. It’s simple enough to do successfully without much study, but more learning can be beneficial and fun. It’s a cheap and easy way to spend the day outdoors and soak up some sun while getting fresh air and familiarizing yourself with the lands around you.

I like the phrase “tell a lie” used right after you misspeak or remember something to the contrary of what you just said.

I hate clunge and minge. I’m not generally opposed to vulgarity but these are just taking the piss. On a similar note, the cockney rhyme for Eartha Kitt is just distasteful.

I don’t think it makes a good name, it smacks of an attitude of “normal names aren’t good enough for my child” and I don’t think the child should suffer for the parent’s vanity.

Realistically, no, but I still think it should be said frequently with sincerity.

Oh, no, honey, I’m not average, I’m outstanding. You may find some practicing communists in this thread, but me? I perfected it.

Absolutely not

All websites are inherently communist and if that’s disagreeable to you there’s always mud to play in.

Try some smoked paprika or liquid smoke.

Liquid smoke kicks ass and I use it all the time when prepping vegan dishes. I’m not sure the exact flavor you’re trying to recreate, but liquid smoke is a staple in my kitchen for helping boost vegan dishes that imitate meat. You can also try frying curry leaves in the oil you use before frying the tofu. That flavor isn’t quite right when you use it in the proportions one would normally use curry leaves, but a few infused into the fry oil will get ya something subtle and interesting.

You’re not obligated to want a monogamous relationship. Plenty of people live lives where, after some lengthy and serious conversations about expectations, desires, and boundaries, they live in ethically nonmonogamous relationships.

That said, y’all didn’t set that up so you’re wife did intend to deceive you in some way and I think that’s worth some introspection and conversation with her. It’s not a great way to start a nonmonogamous relationship, but relationships come with trials and this could just be another to get over. That’s really up to you, your wife and your shared values.

… those the seeds innit?

Maybe for TOS, but I think that changes quite drastically in TNG and beyond

I’m seeing the post you linked as locked on the Voyager app.

Fuckin awesome, thank you

Dunno about autoclavable, but I think the HOKA brand is popular with the hospital staff I know and they seem to prefer those.

That just isn’t true, I literally agreed with you that it was wrong to teach children in that way 2 replies ago. These faiths aren’t hypothetical, I’m just simply not going to get tied down in speaking about the specifics of specific faiths because that’s unnecessarily complicated as you don’t need to educate someone on every aspect of a religion to pass on the cultural values and aspects of it.

Though I agree we’re at an impasse here and neither of us are able to communicate something valuable to the other at the moment. I don’t doubt you’re an ethical person, especially with the amount of thought and care you’ve put into this subject, for whatever that’s worth.
