from my own experience, i would say let the kid play the instrument they want, or sing while playing–don’t try to limit or close things off for them.

when i was a kid in elementary school, i wanted to play saxophone. i was told no, you have to play clarinet first. so i did. then when i wanted to graduate to saxophone, i was told no, you’re too good at clarinet, and we need you on clarinet. i developed such a burning irrational hatred for clarinet that i eventually lost all interest in saxophone

now i exclusively play death/black metal guitar, which i love, but everyone else hates. do i play because everyone hates it? maybe, but don’t care

ever since they stole the first of THREE seats (so far) on the supreme court, i’ve always said that was the absolute worst

it’s for the surveillance for the christotechnofascists who need to convince all the pearl clutching evangelist deadbedroom karen moms that their kids are going to instantly become satanic infant eaters if they catch a glimpse of how infants get made, in order to get them foaming at the mouth to vote against everything except what the billionaire owner class wants

the messaging is pretty much “you shouldn’t have to be responsible for raising your own fucking kids–that should be up to the internet, public school, and libraries”

and of course those gullible chuds lap it all up like hogs at the trough

if you have kids and think you’re going to stop them from ever looking at titties, that’s on YOU, not the entire rest of the world

LOL fuck that googley-eyed chud

check your thrift stores/ goodwill/ habitat for humanitys regularly

i got a couch for $35, 2 toaster ovens for like $20 (one of which was brand new with the manual still in the ziploc it came with), a mini fridge $20, a giant dining room table $75, not to mention all the utensils for less than a dollar

100%

also, in a system that rakes in billions and billions of dollars for medical expenses, it follows that self-care is an act of defiance

because that’ll make them vote for you next time…

i can’t believe we have a fucking incompetent racist rapist pedophile nazi moron potus. i stopped calling him a baby because that’s way beyond too insulting to babies

i’m making it my own personal holiday when this sack of shit finally fucking croaks.

we really don’t actually know wtf is going on, and there’s a good chance we never will

bend a paperclip to have a hook on the end, use it to pull the loop through

or just tape the loop to the paperclip

a reorganization that remaining developers are reportedly convinced will cause irreparable damage to some of the company’s most valuable brands.

if by “damage” they mean reduced quality: LOL

how many years has it been since microsoft prioritized quality? ever?

“we are here today doing what we do because boredom has guided us toward greater and greater challenges and bigger and more complex brains”

i’m no evolutionary psychologist, but come on… humans evolved bigger brains because we were bored? and yet no other species in the history of the planet has been “bored” enough to evolve intelligence?

everyone would be in better shape health-wise.

but also billionaires would lose money, which is why it’ll never happen as things are now

rich corrupt fascligarchs couldn’t care less about your kids’ education, let alone "too much screen time. they need manual laborers from the peasant class, they don’t need a generation of educated adults who have the capacity to form their own opinions regardless of what they’re told to believe

so the answer is simple: label access to information as evil, and then eliminate said access

great post and site

LOL
