Or is it yet another example of social decay, that parents can’t even discipline/raise their kids well enough to allow them outside without leashes?
From what I’ve heard, the expectations of behavior for children in public spaces has gotten a lot more strict. People generally have very little patience for your kid’s antics. Also fewer mothers are dedicated homemakers, and when time and energy are tight, a leash might be a good bandaid.

Packed very tightly. I believe the mother can’t eat for the last few days of carrying the egg.

They also have one of the largest egg size to mother size ratios of any species of bird.

- Comment on Let my Duolingo streak expire cos I don't want to give them any more AI training for free and this popped up 🙄 1 week ago:
I wish the whole streak paradigm was time weighted. Like I got over a 1 year streak on my Apple watch over Covid. That’s basically never going to happen again. I wish there was some kind of “this is your longest streak in the past <time period>” or something. It all just feels so all or nothing.

It started happening on other sites too. I think it’s the “Yet Another Smooth Scrolling WE” I had installed in Firefox acting up. Disabling the plugin and scrolling has improved.

Something poetic and quaint about a link to a Wikipedia article titled “Tree”

Is it because the amps are high
Yes. I don’t know about for motorcycles, but in a car, it’s like hundreds of amps. That’s a lot of fucking amps.

You’re used to seeing your mirror image. You aren’t perfectly symmetrical, so your reflection looks slightly different than your image in a camera.

No thank you to the Earth.
Seriously though kind of wild how simple the whole thing is. Like less dramatic than its portrayal by Hollywood by a long shot.

Except a lot of men who fought over there were rewarded with returning back to the bottom rung of the socioeconomic ladder.
Status quo was maintained. Women and people of color were promised opportunity and reward for helping with the war effort, but largely didn’t get it.

To explain your downvotes.
Women were encouraged to join the work force on top of all of the parenting/wifely duties they were saddled with for generations. This was a lot of work, but it also provided a glimpse into financial independence and equal placement in the workplace for the first time.
But when the war was over, women were encouraged to jump right back into the kitchen.
should men returning from war not be entitled to their job back
There are many jobs that need to be done to make society work. There are plenty of jobs at home that they could have taken.

Yeah and “we can do it,” until the men come back home and take the jobs back.
