Gaynbow Steel is unmatched in its sass.

There is one particular park in my city that my kid loves to play at. It's by far the most elaborate and impressive, so it's hard to avoid going there sometimes. But whenever we go, my wife and I often encounter a very, very chatty older Polish guy who has lived an exhilarating life of travel, mountain climbing, and spelunking.

His adventures were interesting to hear about the first time we encountered him. But now every time we run into him he spends the better part of an hour just overwhelming us with tales of his adventures with mild occasional racism peppered throughout, with very few (if any) openings to speak or change the subject. You can only say, "Oh, wow.", "Really?", "Woah, that's crazy..", and "Wow, I didn't know that.." so many times before it takes a heavy toll on your body and mind.

There is no off-ramp with the Polish Adventurer. He is there to climb you.

My listening age was 82, but my top songs were mostly Saja Boys.. It was then that I remembered my account is linked to the Nest.

The internet and browsers felt so comfortable back then. I was a kid, but I felt like I had a command center at my fingertips. Was like flying a space freighter made from scrap metal.

Lol, yeah, that's a great point.

It probably would have helped. Honestly, someone needs to get all of the world leaders tripping balls in one place. I, for one, would welcome a shaman-led society.

My comments tend to get way more engagement here than on reddit. People are just friendlier. When I'm funny, they make me feel like the man. On reddit you had to piggy-back on top comments just to get any hits, and half of them were just confrontational for no good reason.

I love group buffs!

Can't believe that was his real hair. That's the haircut of a preacher who beats the life out of his children with a belt.

I seem to encounter this often while using Sync, and have so for the past couple of years. Not sure why it's taken until now to ask about it. The issue is always as shown here. I'll open a post, even one that I've interacted with and have received replies, but despite my efforts I can't get it to actually display the comments. This seems to happen completely at random, and perhaps as often as 1 in 8 posts. Comments work completely fine elsewhere.

Clicking "View post" via the prompt at the bottom makes no difference.

Any ideas?

My daughter (5) loves to play games with me on my PC. Favorites of hers include Spyro Reignited, Untitled Goose Game, House Flipper, and Skyrim (she basically putts around whatever town I throw her in and steals from the locals' homes).

She is really into anything with simple mechanics, non-scary exploration, and minimal reading/menu navigation. Being able to go into various houses is a huge plus. She loves to snoop.

Tonight she was laughing her ass off while watching gameplay from a game called I Am Cat. I told her I'd get it for her, but unfortunately it's VR-only, and you can't strap those things to a little kid. I believe you have to be 12+ to use them safely without adverse effects on development and motor skills.

When asked just now for anything she'd like to add, she said, "Funny, happy, and beautiful!"

With all of that said, any recommendations?

My daughter gets very limited monitored phone time on the weekends or long trips to play art and learning games. She loves to play with filters, too, but I don't want to grant her access to something like Snapchat that overly-beautifies her image and will wind up giving her a complex.

Does anyone know of any kid-friendly filter apps that will turn them into animals or make their faces look funny, without all the weird filters that are unnecessarily adult or sexy?
