A different social circle of mine has been sharing personal bingo cards so I might as well stick mine here as well.

Any of my autism acquaintances have thoughts on Home Educating Our Autistic Spectrum Children: Paths are Made by Walking?

and/or any other reading suggestions in the encouragement department for home schooling parents

"So tourists photograph our €12 Stroopwafel. And worship cuisines they do not understand. We pretend knowing spice blends makes us cosmopolitan. We reduce thousand year civilisations to their lunch options.

And we call this our culture."

Watch me solve online age verification without ID leaks:

- Device and local login granted to kid by parent
- Kid does NOT have full admin access locally
- Parent has full admin access locally
- Parent sets an OS setting: Can view adult content; can view teen content
- OS makes 'age' flag available to web pages and apps
- If kid DOES have admin access, that's an internal family issue; not the government's concern.
- PROBLEM SOLVED

But that's not the actual goal of the laws… is it?

"Reading" is to audiobooks as "cycling" is to Peloton

If you can't appreciate the skill and talent involved in well-performed music in a genre you dislike, anything you have to say about music in genres you do like is meaningless.

I'm willing to bet that if we banned the use of leaf blowers for clearing snow, the ability to travel through urban environments without a car would not be worse than it currently is.

The biggest flaw in our modern-day economy is that people are willing to agree to an unjust option because it's the only option instead of just dying and helping the system to correct itself

The economics of unpayed internships/practicums is wild

I get why sparkling apple juice is treated as a non-booze fancy drink to feel like champagne. But with all the fancy non-alcoholic drinks that are now more accessible and popular than ever, can that stop?

I always find it interesting in a good way when I look at the websites for small marketing agencies—the kind I which I did subcontracted work for when I was freelancing full time—and see how their websites are old, out of date, or just generally unexciting.

it's like business is good enough that they don't care about their appearance, potentially to a detrimental-to-bringing-in-revenue level. Goals, I guess? But it's weird.

I find it funny when businesses that add up the total experience in their office and then brag that they have x number of years of experience in the field.

Bragging that you have "100 years of combined experience" without saying how many people are on the team could mean you have 100 newbies or 3 seasoned experts. It's not a qualification of anything!
