Don't worry guys. We'll run another centrist in 2028 too. But this time it'll work.

Why don't we just force runoff elections when things are off. It costs a few million, yes. But isn't it better for people to decide instead of one judge?

My main issue was the controls being a lil finicky. Otherwise it worked fine.

Is two weeks of Paternity leave enough (relatively)? in c/askbeehaw@beehaw.org
[–] Hello_there@fedia.io 1 points 2 weeks ago

2 weeks is just good enough for mom care. If you're looking to bond with your baby, I recommend taking at least a few weeks by yourself after mom goes back to work. That helps you find a way for how you would care for baby, not how the mom does.

Have a friend that got one. They wanted the convenience of android - buy books on any platform you want - but the e ink screen so they are not tempted to mindlessly scroll on the typical websites

Stroller repairability win (fedia.io)
 

We got an old Bob 3 wheel stroller from a family friend. Frame is a bit rusted and it's been thru some stuff, but it has been perfectly functional for us for the last 3 years. However, just recently, after taking it out of the car, one of the rear wheels fell off. Turns out one of the wheel release latches was completely loose and busted.
I was hoping there was some hacky ability to repair it - rather than throwing it out - envisioning grey market supplies or 3d printer parts or etc.
Instead, I found a website that sells official Bob parts and a replacement rear latch assembly and a video on how to install.

Less than 15 bucks later, (including shipping and tax) I now again have a perfectly functional stroller.

I know these strollers are pricey - but that really makes a difference in willingness to recommend these strollers in the future.

Also, FYI, if you're in need of a stroller wagon - the 3 seater Bob one is a good choice.

Gender positive movies? (fedia.io)
 

A lot of kids movies/tv perpetuate harmful gender roles. The obvious culprit is Disney - and the 'a woman's role is to get married' storylines. Even the later Disney movies seem to be embracing the message even while appearing to refute it.

But it's larger than that. All the instances where a female character is only in a supporting role, or female characters have certain traits (empathy) but lack other traits (aggressiveness). Doing a gender swap and seeing the differences in how characters are portrayed has helped me see the double standards.

I've become more sensitive to this as I'm screening media for my young girls to watch.

A couple of the media that I've seen are the g rated Ghibli movies - Totoro and Kiki's shows young girls that are independent, aggressive, courageous, and go through problems and overcome them.

I'm looking for some more examples of movies - g rated especially - in that vein.
