@dwnews Boy are the replies dumb. In Trump’s case, yes, I’d make an exception. But the concern is valid in the big picture.

My 2020 in Books.
@maram_fah @Ishikawa_Sachi @johnroderick Yea that’s the one part I would’ve done differently. I value the opportunities to work through problems with my kids, but certainly not when they’re hungry and definitely not for 6 hours!
@Ishikawa_Sachi @johnroderick Yes, I remember you went nc on your abusive parent, so I understand where you’re coming from. In this case though, it isn’t neglect. It’s actually the opposite. He actually spent much more time helping his daughter discover and learn about how a “simple” can opener works.
@Ishikawa_Sachi @johnroderick You can read it in his words. It’s much easier to give up and do it for her, or even give her a helping hand. I have often encounter this as a Dad too, and I’ll admit I’m often not as patient as him and end up doing too much for my daughter, which is actually not good for her.
@Ishikawa_Sachi @johnroderick He didn’t ignore her and go back to his jigsaw puzzle. He didn’t shame her for not being able to do “such a simple thing”. What he did was helping his daughter figure something out for herself, and in the end SHE felt proud of her achievement. She learned that she can do it!
@Ishikawa_Sachi @johnroderick now this may be how I project myself on him, but from what I read, he worked with his daughter, not allowing her to give up, continued to give her examples and his own experiences. The only think he didn’t do was giving her the answer or doing it for her.
@Ishikawa_Sachi @johnroderick Of course not. It’s because you said his daughter will think her dad cares about his pride more than her. You’re a parent too, I think, so may be you understand the amount of thinking parents put into what they say / do with their children… how we can help them overcome and grow
@Ishikawa_Sachi @johnroderick Did you read the whole thread?
I get the feeling that 2020 is gonna be the new normal.
Deleted Twitter from my phone. First time coming back on the desktop. Not missing much I guess.
Kids at home screaming while I try to fix 4 Logitech device-to-receiver issue is… SOMEBODY KILL ME PLEASE!!!
@CNN 70% sane sounds about right. For once, I’m against mandatory vaccine and in favor of natural selection.
I moved to Seattle when the Timber Wars was happening in the Pacific Northwest. This show is bringing back memories.

Who did this as a child? 🙋🏻♂️
@2co_p Did you read the manga? It’s really good.
Is @WSJ the paper of old, racist, homophobic, misogynistic boomers? https://x.com/thephdstory/status/1337773110133575686
