No judgement here, and my wife has always said she never judges how anyone gives birth.

Just an Aussie tech guy - home automation, ESP gadgets, networking. Also love my camping and 4WDing.
Be a good motherfucker. Peace.

Watching her give birth to our daughter. No drugs. Just natural child birth (in a hospital).
Years later, discussing childbirth with her (now) 20yo daughter (my step daughter), when asked why she did it that way for all three of her kids, she simply said it was something she wanted go go through, to feel connected to the experience of having her kids.
Awe and pride don’t even begin to explain what I felt (and still feel) for my wife.
Not sure where you’re located,but we have https://www.productreview.com.au here in Australia. I’ve occasionally found it useful.
Well, thanks for the fall down that particularly horrifying rabbit hole. I can only imagine the pain these women went through, given this was at a time that predates anaesthesia.
If your strategy as an employer is how to keep your people in indentured servitude, that makes you a cunt. Be a good boss - help your employees achieve their goals and get to the next step in their career. That will help you attract newer talent when you need it.
Oh, sure. I get that. Sending yourself reminders is absolutely understandable. Sending yourself documented evidence of your plans to defraud someone is entirely different.
In a 2017 email to himself, Smith calculated that he could stream his songs 661,440 times daily, potentially earning $3,307.20 per day and up to $1.2 million annually.
Great idea, but why would you email yourself about it?
Isn’t the picture from Logan?

Later in the same comment I mention how I think social media only benefits the corporations that run it.
It’s pretty clear what I meant.
My own belief is that all social media is a cancer, and to be avoided entirely. I’m able to do that for myself, but I’m also realistic about the chances of keeping my kids away from it. So, I focus my energy on trying to equip them with the mental skills to neutralise the toxic aspects of social media.
For my 9yo, that means teaching her to employ natural skepticism and critical thinking. I’m also trying to drum into her the understanding that social media is inherently untrustworthy and unreliable, and exists solely for the benefit of the corporations that run it.
That said, I’ve blocked Tik Tok on my home network, much to the older kids’ chagrin. They have to use mobile data if they want to access that shit on their phones.
The casting bit is the missing piece for me.
I’ve built a RasPi with Kodi for our caravan, to use Plex and stream our free-to-air TV here in Australia (using Musk’s space innernets). I just miss being able to cast from my phone, for the occasional thing I can’t do with a Kodi add-on.
Shit like this is why I intend to keep my (currently) 9yo as far away from social media as I can, for as long as I can. This fucking terrifies me, as it should any parent.
RAID5 and unlimited downloads on my 1Gbps fibre. All I backup is my library metadata itself, using a 2N+C strategy.
Name the band? Maybe some of us can pitch in.
Honestly, I’m not sure. You might still be partly right, though.
The Anglican church originated from the Church of England which was created by (the formerly Catholic) Henry VIII, when the Pope wouldn’t annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon.
Just evidence, as always, of religion being used to further a powerful person’s agenda.
No, it’s not just Catholics who take communion.

This makes me glad I pirate their content. Cunts.
Yeah, now I have my own family and we do our own Christmas, it’s shorts, thongs, BBQ, seafood and beer.
No - it’s definitely Christmas in summer in Australia. But somehow my dear old Gran never got the memo, and insisted on making us sit down and sweat through a full roast Christmas lunch each year, sometimes in 40°C+ heat.
A lot less VCDs and MP3s downloaded from FTP servers and BBSes.
Not sure if I’d bring it back, but I sure do miss the fun of playing Quake against my mates on public servers.
