If you feel guilty about screentime but like the winding down educational aspect of it, why not encourage a half hour/hour of quiet reading time before lights out? Maybe take your kid to the library to select a bunch of books on interesting topics and there you go.

I mean, if they're gonna, that's the best choice (but also double-check their channels because there's a lot of pseudoscience masquerading as science channels).

Are they at least of an age where you can have an honest conversation about ensuring that their screen time is mitigated by offline activity? Can you get them hooked up with volunteer opportunities, extracurriculars, etc that play into their interests? e.g. if they're watching space channels, getting them into an astronomy club, or getting them to volunteer with a parks department or wilderness nonprofit if they're super into plants/birds/insects. Honestly, 30 years ago when I was a teen, if my parents had said "you need extracurriculars for your college applications, you love birds, here go volunteer with the local Audobon chapter" I'd have been over the moon. Doubly so if it had prevented me from going to art school instead lol.

Adult-me happily agrees with kid-me that the concept of “screen time” is bullshit. A good book, a good show, and a good game are much alike.

Screen time before bed is a horrible habit for anyone just because the screens have a physical effect on you and your sleep cycle. It doesn't really matter about content (to a degree), it's the type of screen that is the problem. But really everyone seems to do it so it's one of those "yeah I know it's not great but oh well" things. We adapt and move on.

There's also a degree of how "bad" it is on age. Little kids like elementary school and below is pretty bad, but once you get to teenagerhood then I don't think it's as bad. Because honestly the "healthy sleep habits" training phase is gone and at that point you're just happy if they have any sleep routines and watch relatively "good" content and not going down radfem or toxic rabbit holes.

Idk. Raising kids is so hard these days because there are way more "bad" things to try and steer around and you as a parent just have to choose the path that works for you and your family. If it isn't causing problems (lack of good sleep, etc) then throw that guilt away and go with the status quo.

I spent way too much of my childhood w/my parents telling me I read "too much" and taking away my books because they were convinced I should be running around randomly in the yard like a dog despite the fact that I didn't enjoy it.

[(Anonymous)]

I can so easily understand this! Like, we KNOW it’s bad. But that’s tempered by the learning your child is doing. And bedtime screen use is so common and there are so many things you have to protect your child from that I think I’d let them, too.

Agree tbh. I have no clue what these characters are talking about half the time.

Genuine question: how did you think that Alexa Barajas playing Mari Ibarra was a Japanese actress playing a Japanese character?

have you visted most of the other related subs, like AITA, RelationshipAdvice, WeddingShaming, etc? They're all like that. It doesn't matter if the sub originated out of random legitimate comments to other posts (see: brandnewsentence, beetlejuicing), at some point there is never enough organic content to justify daily updates so it's either fiction or reposts of reposts of reposts or both. welcome to reddit.

Not to mention all the time buff characters are played by very much not buff women.

I love him, sorry! But I also love the cartoons and find the comics very interesting so I totally get the annoyance.

I would love to see a good live action X Men adaptation but I don’t think good adaptations are allowed in the MCU. And I enjoy the Fox movies and miss the honesty in adapting a niche for a larger audience. I think the MCU would have been better if they’d stuck with that same principle.

god, I remember when bands like GWAR or Daft Punk were the exception rather than the rule. may "costumes in place of musical talent" die a swifter death than the swing revival of 1996.

Do you mean captain? Because chief is a way different rank. If you do mean chief, yeah, it'd be very odd if he jumped so many ranks. But if you mean captain, there actually aren't that many requirements - he's been on the job long enough and while they've never really specified how much training each of them has taken, the types of rescues he's done means he's had to have done a lot of certifications, so it wouldn't stretch the limits of credibility that he could have taken some of the recommended training for Captain I.

What annoyed me about it is that it felt like a heavily contrived "problem". Logically, James knows that there's a lot of value to being a vet in a time when people still need to run their farms and produce food. Buuuuut he still thinks that being in the military is better. He'd have to train to do that, and there's no one to take his place as a vet back home, but oh well.

So the show puts him through training school as a pilot, which we see VERY briefly and then he gets sick and is discharged to go back to being a vet and we're supposed to feel sorry for his crew whom we've met for like ONE minute. And then the deaths of these very briefly introduced characters is used to further James' trauma and guilt over not being a pilot and "only" doing the unglamourous job of treating animals.

Inspired by #1: What are your before bed/sleep habits? Are they intentional habits or you just go with the flow.

Trump has removed legal protections for mentally disabled immigrants in court, except for those in the three states he can't due to a legal settlement.
