My son is 7 nearly now and a long time ago we decided Netflix was just better than YouTube for kids stuff, because too much unrestricted weirdo stuff pops up all on its own.
It's kind of a shame because he misses out on more engineering style videos, which is what he is interested in, but ai absolutely have to hawk over youtube, where as I can let him watch Netflix kids shows for an hour without worrying it is messed up stuff.
He does sometimes think he is Megatron and hit me though.
but they're listening to every word I say
Luckily they could escape to the mainland before it sank
These days doggers can be found throughout the land
Mainly in lay-bys and rural carparks
the install is recent but is the SSD old?
depending on the brand and age of SSD there's a very good chance you're dealing with some unlucky firmware and large number of aging or bad blocks on device - something that consumer drives notoriously handle poorly after a certain point in the usage lifetime of the drive.
Sometimes kids act like shitheads over screen time or after screen time, and honestly you just don't want to hear about it.
Interactive things are usually better for behavior. Kids tablet PBS games etc.
We actually just took a week off TV because my son was having trouble focusing in school and we thought it might help. Unclear if it did, or if other factors did,but his teachers said he was doing better.
So we told them they could watch TV on the weekend, but we will probably have no TV or tablets during this week again and see how it goes.
I think the easy out is actually just letting them watch as much TV and stuff as they want, because that's what they beg for. But that's def not the recommendation. You can definitely tell if you have a sick day or something and let them watch 5 hours of TV that they are all zombed out and it's not good for them.
Anyway, are you Daddy Tumin soon? Is that what I'm learning here?

That could be it
The machine is somewhere around 10-12 ish years old
(Now at 74% installed, but it has stopped thrashing the disk, which is really the issue because it interferes with the scanning software I started the machine up to use)
Whereas we did pretty much the opposite. Got rid of Netflix and kept YouTube.
Ellie's always in the room with us when she's watching videos. I'm always listening. If I hear something that is bad/wrong I tell her to such videos and then we have a chat about why what was being said/done was bad and why it upset mummy.
She's also had relatively unlimited screen time since she was little. She willingly turns it off to play for hours on end, and has for years. There are times that I limit her, usually if she's already in a foul mood, and she fights it a bit, but then just goes and does her own thing. She's getting a bit more limits at night, her screens are off 30 minutes before bedtime starts, and that's been good for sleep.
We pick and choose our battles. She's learned heaps and heaps from watching videos. Has been given more questions to ask, ways to be creative in her play, and learned concepts that I never would have thought to teach her as early as she learned them (thank you magic school bus and Storybots).
But as a parent, there's no right answer. Whatever you do, somebody is going to motalise at you for being a failure in one way or another.

A very beautiful dream
There was a porn studio that did high quality pornos but it ranged from mundane “i’m sleeping over my friend’s house and now we’re fucking” to “woman robber steals old locomotive and proceeds to fuck her elf girlfriend in the dining car while being chased down by a wide ranging race crew of police on horses” to “a virtual fantasy world that is idealistic until a virus invades and begins to destroy the fantasy world”
And in the dream I had watched these videos before but in the dream I couldn’t find some of the videos
Then I woke up and realized I didn’t ever really experience these videos ever
And now I am mad
only thing to do is start your own production company
No, no. Plan to try in near future, still doing some mumps vaccines and stuff. I assume my baby bullets wont miss and itll be timely but we'll see. Mostly just not really been around kids or managed kids much, and Ive seen family and friends taking mixed approaches with mixed results.
Don't let your dreams be dreams!
Bish I ain’t got that kind of money
I go with "never be offended on behalf of someone else" logic.
I've been told directly by people who identify as "gypsy" that they're sick of everyone else deciding whats offensive and what they get to call themselves. They are tired of outsiders and changing words on them that are central to their identity. See also american indian.
So I do my best not to make anyone's words unspeakable, to not issue corrections about any words that are not mine, especially if they aren't being used as a slur. If two in groups want to have a fight about it, I'll be ducking out the back.
I'll of course try to never use this or any ethnic signifier as a slur, and honor whatever anyone else wants to be called, but going so far as to expunge the word from my vocabulary entirely is its own kind of oppression.
Start small, have you got a basement and a phone camera? All you need past that is a quick trip to your local Spirit Halloween

I smoked weed
And masturbated
Productive sunday thus far.
Now to clean…
SNL:
Monologue: A-
NFL sketch: D
I’m Pete: C, though it did remind me how every single Davidson in history has been exceptionally tall, to the point where they even talk about it at the Davidson Castle museum. I’m 6’2” and the shortest AMAB Davidson I’ve ever met.
Google Poop Jokes: D
1960s office: D
PDD: B. I wanted to hate it. Couldn’t.
WU: B- not amazing, not terrible (other than Colin’s new haircut). Making Jost uncomfortable for his privilege never gets old. Bowen is so great as Columbus taking credit for discovering everything from America to BoyGenius 🤭
In Ha Mood: D- . Decent track, absolutely dreadful performance.
Pretty Girl: C- Better track, slightly better performance, still bad
Glamgina: C, really lowbrow stuff, but yay new girl got a line!
Beach Party: D. This was not funny. It contained no jokes.
Cheesecake Factory: A. Love this last sketch of the night Dadaist shit.
Spaceship: C- Not enough legs on this one. One note. Got old pretty quick. Also why is creepy-eyes still on this show? He’s never been funny even once.
Overall grade: D+
No basement.
Phone camera is taken up by photos of my dearly departed pup.
Do have a Canon T3 Rebel though so mayhaps

I do think there are generally recognized and scientifically based best practices. But it is confusing and hard to know due to a sort of "The Secret" like effect. Parents are desperate for answers or just want to do the best they can and this has caused there to be tons of pop Sci or straight up nonsense parenting advice. Books full of nonsense written by charlatans or well meaning but just wrong people.
It's also true that every family situation is different and we can all only do the best we can. For example, Jebustina would tell you that when she was really young, like our son is now, she was basically raised by TV. She didn't learn how to read, at all, until 3rd grade, because her parents didn't read to her.
On the face of that, without further context, you might think they are shit parents. But she was born very premature and with medical problems, making her an expensive baby, so her dad worked all the time. Two jobs basically her whole childhood. And just when they had that under control they had her brother, who is autistic. He is also a very large guy. So her mom basically spent all her time after that with her brother just making sure he didn't destroy the planet or commit violence against anyone, as well as trying to find answers and treatments for his condition.
They absolutely did the best they could, and Jebustina is just fine. In fact she has a masters degree now and is the breadwinner for our family.
So, would it have been better if things could have gone along the officially approved pediatric science course of events. Probably. And if it's and but's were candy and nuts, then we'd all have a merry Christmas.

I think I've deserved a wank.
Still doing mumps vaccines? Did you never get vaccinated?
but they're listening to every word I say
Bolded emphasis mine: My understanding is generally it's very hard to accurately determine if someone is using specific words as a slur or not (and a lot of times they are being used as a slur by outsiders).
I think Incenjucar has the right of it for a general purpose rule.
The recent "DON'T SAY **SPOOKY** SEASON BECAUSE THAT'S A SLUR" tweet fired off my brain similarly.
bourbon honey lemon tea please heal me.
