New answer for the specific context:

You did your best with the 2 year old. Toddlers are difficult because they just make noises and expect you to work out what’s wrong for them. Small snack and something to drink are always good starting points, followed by a distraction (like the nursery rhymes video) to get their attention off what was upsetting them.

With the 5 year old, you escalated by increasing the punishment to 15 minutes, and now your brother-in-law pushed it back down she knows you can be overruled. Talk to your sister and her husband to make sure you’re both clear on what limits your comfortable with and what specific punishments to give for breaching them, in line with what they’d normally give, so you can both be sure you’re giving out punishments they feel are appropriate, so there’s no room for her to get you overruled - if she goes to her dad you should both be confident he will back you up. She’s of an age where she is going to test what rules and limitations really exist, so you need to make sure she’s not getting mixed messages about it. You’ll have an easier time distracting her with something interesting than telling her not to do stuff.

Alcohol’s negative effects (physical, social, and addictiveness) are basically only matched by heroin and similarly hard opiates, nearly every other drug is better for you and those around you.

“Under the hood” refers to the force behind something being hidden or unexpected, literally coming from the engine of a car being hidden from view underneath a large panel called a “hood”, meaning it could be a different make or model than the one suggested by the car’s exterior.

RT are not hiding their involvement with this article. It is hosted on their website with their branding, suggesting it is their writing. It’s Le Monde propaganda under the hood, because Le Monde’s article is what this one is based on.

Why am I explaining this? Becuase you are not very intelligent and should feel too embarrassed to share your half baked opinions.

Make sure to use vocabulary they understand, but don’t be condescending with it. They’d rather you speak to them like they’re older than they are than younger.

Don’t be overly restrictive of their freedom, but be clear about the limits and make sure to enforce them. Explain the reasons for the restrictions rather than just telling them they’re not allowed and they’ll generally listen.

Give them small jobs to make them feel more responsible and patient about other things.

Do your best to answer their questions properly instead of dismissing them, even if the only answer you can give is “I don’t know”. They’ll listen to adults that they feel listen to them.

Amazing how they invented colour photography in the time it took to burn an American flag

Don’t forget while this is going on there are PA protestors that have been in jail 9+ months without trial. Mo’s trial is only being expedited because Kneecap could kick up such a big fuss.

Whatever, you’re just mad you can’t stab people with your face

You haven’t said anything I would disagree with, yet you are wrong.

You are literally calling for what’s called genocide.

Do you think it was a genocide when all the Rhodesians had to go home too?

Unnecessary.

Because…?

Give up -> share.

No. No, it has to go back to its real owners.

impossible without an external force

So extremely possible

Also please include the Hamas heads here

Absolutely not, under international law Palestinians have a legal right to self defence that Israel does not.

Until recently I would have said Joachim/Grand Papillon from Shadow Hearts Covenant, but I’ve been playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Monoco has stolen my heart. Best boy.

How many people do you think are working in computer graphics? It’s specialised knowledge, exactly the kind of thing that should be taught at university to the people it’s relevent to.

you can explain the solution in natural language pretty easily

It’s not about how you phrase the solution, it’s about needing the solution at all.

We use plenty of simple geometry everyday, sure, but you don’t need to be able to even understand what OP’s example says to engage with the world. Like you don’t need to provide a mathematical proof to put a shelf up properly.

Afaik Israel mostly has a stockpile of absurdly expensive ammunition, and burns through it pretty fast whenever missiles start flying.

Take the SIM out of your phone before throwing it through someone’s window

So Don’t we need more education about the 3D space in highschools really?

How often do you think most people need to know the advanced mathmatical properties of 3d space?

Learn from history so we don’t repeat it.

The lesson to be learnt is not “don’t organise”, it’s how to keep reactionary elements from subverting your organisation. You really think you’re gonna be any safer with nobody around to help you?

Yeah honestly this is like the Tesla “bomb” - until more information comes out to show otherwise it just did that.

Admittedly the Tesla didn’t just do that, but still…
