I know so many people who were so fucking convinced they were going to be rich from doge coin.

My kids are just winding down a 'first week of school party' at our house. I'm not sure how many teens we peaked at... Around 12 14-17 yr olds. This is a semi constant around here, roughly 1-2x a month for most of the year. I'm sure at some point it'll happen without us here.

This assumes you have cell access. Not everywhere in the world does.

This varies with location. Our nearest neighbors are just shy on a mile away. Their cameras aren't much good.

Kids meals would totally be watches.

 

If you haven't seen these charts, they're a bit scary. The global surface temperature of the oceans continues to break records every couple of days. And is heading nowhere but up, up, up.

So true. And yet... I'm also not surprised.

We were/are always just honest with our kids. No, we don't think there's a god/goddess/whatever. When we/grandma/grandpa/whoever dies, they're just gone. Nobody knows where the universe/world comes from. As far as anyone knows it's several billion years old. Explain the big bang as best as we know it. Etc.

There's no 'right' way for so many things when it comes to kids. Ours know that many people believe in a god. We don't. That's ok.

The 'litter boxes in the bathrooms' continues to come up, like clockwork every few months. It's absurd. As fucking if anyone has ever actually put a litter box in a bathroom in a gods damned school.

The level of overall 'civic engagement ' on Lemmy has been pretty great.

[–] alongwaysgone 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, the growth of world, ml, beehaw, and Lemmy in general over the last month is pretty incredible. I'm on five instances. And they've all grown incredibly.

I have accounts on 5 instances.. you kinda need multiple accounts IMHO.
