Freaking Crumbum posted:admittedly the issues was something about his blippi persona just felt "off" to me and then googling about it after the fact confirmed for me why i was getting a weird vibe. afaik there's nothing explicitly related to his earlier stuff in his new kid friendly format, but it's one of those things where i feel better safe than sorry just excising that content wholesale I'm not sure I've ever seen someone actually use the word "confirm" when describing their own confirmation bias before. I think you're general approach to kids and screens is spot on though, including following your instincts like that.

Freaking Crumbum posted:basically it requires you to engage with your kid for the entire duration, which for most people defeats the purpose of buying a tablet toy (you want it to be a thing your kid can self-occupy with for three minutes so that you can do some outlandishly selfish thing like take a poo poo without interruption). I mean fundamentally it sounds like the idea is that parents need to interact with their children and not expect a gadget to raise them instead. Which I realize is easier said than done in an age where both parents need to work 2 jobs.

Instagram and Snapchat should hire lowtax to lead their moderation and give him free reign to ban kids who can’t post good.

Propitious Jerk posted:Huh, I knew this artist irl. They used to hang out with one of my roommates back in college. That was done by Eran Fowler, the rest of her work is pretty cool, and very diverse. I should have linked her deviant art gallery, but I was more concerned with just getting the leached image to appear in-line. She's a great artist. Edit: the blippi persona is pretty benign and highly educational. I've watched literally every blippi video and have not seen anything objectionable. I don't know how he made the leap from scat to singing about excavators and explaining perspective to toddlers. anonumos has issued a correction as of 00:57 on Jul 30, 2019 |

He was trying to hop on the Harlem Shake video bandwagon and get Internet Famous. He found out that talking to toddlers in a silly outfit was far more popular and easily monetized so he switched to that. My 2.5 year old LOVES Blippi so I too have watched a lot of it. I confess I am impressed at how calculated the videos are- it's only ever really him in shot, minimal interactions with other children to make it feel your toddler is the only one he is talking to. My kid can spell Blippi's name because he tells them how to at the end of every video. He knows about colours and shapes and tractors and zambonis because of him. Best for us, his merchandise isn't plastered over the shops here in the UK so I don't get hounded to buy Blippi stuff. I watched this little 'behind the scenes' video about him, the guy is very very savvy and I have to give him props for that- https://youtu.be/63eW28cET-s

We don't live in a society, that implies a structure that consists of and accommodates humans. We live in a system that is designed to house, protect and serve money, which humans are peripheral to.

Then again, I know a local indie movie theatre that actually has a concession menu that looks just like that. Also, I'll n-th the "sad as gently caress" look of that, but I'll add that they could have at least added a couch or something, even if "sometimes I just want to lie down and watch a movie" is the justification.

Chomp8645 posted:lol that comment "next time get a real job." Does capitalism reinforce stereotypes? Because I imagine that commenter is only going off of the headline + her photo. It seems that the movie/tv industry certainly keep stereotypes going. Also corporate news. Also advertising. poo poo, I guess I just answered my own question.
