I wanna ask - for you, has it always seemed like that over the course of 10 years?
I was on social media for what would’ve been 20 years, and I feel like it was 10 years ago that enshittification passed a tipping point.

It’s tough for me to imagine having a talk about sex toys with any of my differently-sexed kids in the future.
However, on the topic of safe use I have seen too many videos of surgeons removing a football-sized orc dildo from someone’s ass. I think I would find the courage to at least mention the importance of a sufficiently-flared base, especially if I’m on the hook for their medical expenses. Also, the junk caught in the metal cock rings. I’m sure there are more examples.

Search “couch riser” on Amazon for some ideas. These are intended for raising the height of a couch but could work as prosthetic legs. Might need to get creative on leveling to the right height though.

As far back as high school I assumed this was possible. All it took was learning about amendments 18 (Prohibition of alcohol) and 21 (scratch that).
Those touting their pocket edition US Constitutions (I think we saw Ted Cruz do this?) do so with the same with bibles. All I see is John Brittle from Django Unchained.

Am I correct is seeing a similarity between this and the Xitter drama from 2024? Something about X not having a physical presence in Brazil to sue for damages, and Brazil was going to block it as a result.

Our noise canceling headphones were for my 6yo but I use them more often than he does. Sometimes when he wears them he cranks the volume on the tablet to hear it through those headphones and we’re still educating him on why that’s no good.
- Comment on EA employees "upset and confused" at return to office mandate 4 months ago:
Our company of 5000+ US employees just ended a hybrid model and now requires full return to work. I sit near HR. Here are some things I’ve heard:
- Asked in a public forum what metrics were involved in revoking work from home, VP said “Metrics? None. Next question.” All other questions received some kind of diplomatic answer but not that one.
- A couple of HR employees vocally shit on the complaint emails they’ve been tasked with responding to. They’re the bootlickin-est people I’ve ever heard in a professional setting. 3+ times I’ve heard "If it bothers you that much then quit, simple. The company’s not for you then."
- A global company, our intranet shows the head honcho taking pride in work life flexibility and touts the same fukkin hybrid model. US workers were told it’s a “participating locations only” situation.
- VP said they didn’t anticipate how beloved working from home was, and said (despite no communication otherwise) it was their plan all along to end it, and that they made a mistake by not doing it sooner because it gave us the false impression it was permanent.
In contrast, we employ some union and some non union workers all over the country. As much HR shit talk as I’ve heard over 5 years, I and they still have to abide by WRITTEN PROCEDURES whose express intent is not running astray of the Collective Bargaining Agreements. I hear these HR people on phone calls about something union related and I get to hear “Jump? How high?” and other cowtowing phrases, knowing they’re fuming inside but can’t do anything about it because we’re beholden to those CBAs.
Regularly, I witness stark evidence that union workers are treated better than their counterparts. The CBAs have teeth and the company knows it.

Recommenting from another post:
I sent a text to those I love in any capacity, even former coworkers who’ve probably deleted my number. Not a group text - one by one. I think it’d be prudent for all US readers to consider doing the same.
Knowing some of you are like me, in that you might not know how to word such a text to someone not expecting it from you, I offer you my copy/pasted text:
America has a concentration camp now. I won’t send you anything more…it’s kind of rude that I’m sending this one. lbc.co.uk/…/donald-trump-announces-plan-to-send-m…

That is much more reasonable, one of a couple possibilities I’m now seeing.

So many of these parents seem to handwave responsibility from fictional scenarios.
Do appreciate the classic “yOu MuSt NoT hAvE kIDs” response to literally any form of parental criticism though.
“But I learned it from you!” 😭

This could be. I mentioned in another reply, I did assume I’d only see local currency prices. Seeing 3+ responses questioning the currency makes me think that’s a likely explanation.

Well…I didn’t consider that. I tried to find the ad again but couldn’t make the same one appear. I did get a different Amazon ad which I clicked through and confirmed its price was in USD. I did assume I’d only see ads with prices in local currency but that could be a bad assumption.

Hello Armchair Parent! And welcome.
Plenty of actual parents relate to dropping whatever they’re doing to find out why kids 1 and 2 are screaming in another room (argument, saw a spider, “play” screaming, who knows). That gives an eternity of time to a mischievous 2yo kid #3 to grab the shiny toy so carelessly dropped without being locked GASP! and then tap not just twice but >100 times.
Factor in a parent being a normie mobile user whose browser already has permission to open Amazon links in their Amazon app, and then it’s only a matter of the 2yo clicking big cartoony button “Buy Now” and then big cartoony button “Place Order” but hey what are the chances of that :P
