imo at some point in the future we're gonna get vaccines that are superior to what we have now that provide longer lasting protection and/or sterilizing immunity it's only a lifetime of boosters every few months if vaccine tech doesn't advance from here

I’m saying we don’t know what happens to effectiveness six months after a third shot booster. it might fall off in the same manner as after the second shot. it might not fall off as sharply. many current vaccines follow a shot, month second shot, six months final shot pattern. we could end up with anything in between those two outcomes. so a range from hey three worked to shot every six months until you die. we will have an idea in a few months once Israel gets 6-8 months out from third shots. I mean I don’t care either way. give my kids the jab as often as it takes.

Oh, I totally misinterpreted you. Sure, I suppose that’s possible the third shot could last longer.

So I've never heard the song "5 Little Ducks" until this past weekend, and it was kinda funny because we'd already put the kid to bed but just let the children's music pandora station continue to play afterwards while we picked up and got settled in for the rest of the evening and forgot about it. Later that night I had come in from smoking a couple bowls out back, and this song came on:quote:Five Little Ducks went out one day, over the hills and far away. I sat down shocked and wondering "oh god did the duckling get eaten by a cat or other predator, what the hell" and felt terrible for the poor mother duck at first. But as the song went on I got mad at her because she kept sending her ducklings over the hill and far away, losing one each time, and I was sitting there high as gently caress and in my feelings nearly tearing up about this song and thinking what the gently caress is wrong with this mama duck, does she hate her kids, why does she keep letting them go over the hill and far away like that??? And what a dark loving children's song what the hell!! And then quote:Sad mother duck went out one day, over the hills and far away And I was like "oh good they're okay!" and felt way too relieved for the ducklings in this stupid children's song My partner laughed her goddamn rear end off when I told her about it later Son of Thunderbeast has issued a correction as of 18:59 on Nov 15, 2021 |

Philly public school district just to clarify, our American history curriculum ended at about the same time as well, which was also right after America single handedly won World War 2 because the British and the Russians did such a poo poo job of it and we just stomped in and cleaned house, then dropped 2 nukes on japan but it was totally justified The thing I said about Vietnam, was our teacher going off-script, I don't remember reading about the vietnam war in any textbook and I was well into high school before i even began to get a clue what the Vietnam War was actually about also probably around that time I learned there was a Korean war

drat, I went to high school right on the other side of the Delaware in Burlington and we got taught a pretty decent view on history like how the pilgrims were dumb assholes, the us has hosed up its foreign policy consistently, and how early cultures were advanced in certain ways and not just the outright "savages!!!!" units we had in elementary Mini-soup has her second cold from daycare!  no real fever or anything but stuffy nose, cough, etc for the past few days so I'm chilling at home with her today with a pediatrician appointment this afternoon just to be safeHer new daycare here near Providence is kick rear end and miles beyond the home daycare service we had before - everything is itemized and recorded and there is a clear system for everything and staff is incredibly nice. Also puts into perspective the astronomical and unreasonable prices of childcare around the DC area which IIRC are some of (if not the) highest in the nation. We are getting far better care at a fraction of the price with a center that is highly rated by state/national standards and by fellow parents Man imagine if the government took care of all these costs!!!!!!!

well it took about 3 days for my daughter to completely get over shot 1, her possibly having season fall allergies didn’t help. going to take necessary days off for shot 2, she was a trooper though. I’d ask her how she’s doing and I’d get a thumbs up while she’s falling asleep from fatigue

Just like how we didn't lose Iraq, or Afghanistan, or any other of the wars we've lost! God I'm so glad I emigrated. I've thought about moving back but the thought of my daughter saying the pledge of allegiance in the morning makes me sick, gently caress that poo poo.

with an impending newborn it's funny how much advice has changed with babies over the last 20 years let alone the last 30-40. all the future grandparents are flabbergasted at the "no stuff in the crib," and of course 30 years ago you put the baby on their side to sleep, not their back and so on and so on

yeah the whole thing with "back to sleep" is it gives them a chance. if the kid is already flipping over on their own after you do it, that's fine.

Organic Lube User posted:They're not supposed to smoke??? Vaping is way less dangerous. It’s all about harm reduction. Seriously though we co-slept and it was fine. I’m convinced the “secret” is just not to drink or otherwise get hosed up before bed. I’m sure there are some people who can roll over on a baby and not notice, but we’re such light sleepers it seems impossible. Anyway my kid is still alive therefore it was the correct decision.

yeah i think the research shows cosleeping is perfectly safe so long as you don't drink, smoke, or take other meds that might make you stuporous. we never co-slept just because we didnt want the fight of getting the kid out of our bed at whatever point. my kid is also still alive so it was the right decision.

we didn't cosleep until covid and now it's pretty typical for one or both of them to finish the night in our bed. come to think of it, we got away with it last night. wonder what we did differently?

one thing that I remember from my childhood that simply isn't A Thing anymore was how many hours I spent watching whatever news/documentary/sitcom my parents were watching just because it was the only screen in the house and they had a valid claim since TiVo wasn't around in 1994. like my kids basically never have to watch Columbo or Murder She Wrote or The Adventures or Horatio Hornblower or whatever the gently caress my patents were into. that said, a common threat I use with my children is "if you don't stop this behavior, I WILL watch an episode of Frasier."
