My husband is the PC gamer and I am the Nintendo lady but I am the only one here. I am also his tech support somehow.

Yeah like the other commenter, I do this so you can use the whole belt and don't have to awkwardly shove things onto the end.

Not happy about back to school :( in c/parenting@lemmy.world

Oh I do understand needing a break and enjoying time alone! Especially for full time working parents. I only work part time so I'm not nearly as burnt out. The commercial from forever ago though was definitely coming from the "I hate my wife and kids" boomer humour of the time.

YSK that hand sewing is a stupid cheap hobby to get into and reduces your impact on the environment in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world
[–] RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 week ago

I was taught how to hand sew in school for an art project and it has been so useful. As a teenager I was intentionally getting damaged clothes at the thrift store for extra cheap and sewing them back up myself.

Not happy about back to school :( (sh.itjust.works)
 

When I was a kid, Staples ran a back to school ad where parents were rejoicing to someone singing "It's the most wonderful time of the year!" This is my fourth back to school as a parent and I still cannot relate whatsoever. I miss my little buddies. :(

I never understood slang as a kid but I'm finally starting to figure it out. By the time my kids are teenagers, I'll be a pro. They won't be able to hide anything from me.

That is genuinely harder to understand than the tweet

PSA: YouTube Kids has an allowlist (sh.itjust.works)
 

I just have to post this because I am soooooo tired of all the videos and stuff I see all over the internet about how dangerous YouTube Kids is. It isn't! It's actually fine! You don't have to let your kids have access to aaaaaallllll of the videos! There is a whitelist feature! It's literally part of the set up process! JFC! My children only have access to videos and channels I specifically chose for them! Like PBS Kids! Please spread the word so I can stop running into these goddamn fearmongering videos.

Do cinnamon rolls count? (sh.itjust.works)
 

My favourite dessert to make! Yeast dough is just really fun to work with. We always eat them all before remember to get photos after baking. I use this recipe from King Arthur Baking. Pretty much all my bread recipes are from there, since they have the ingredient weights listed.
