Perhaps, if one wishes to remain an individual in the midst of the teeming multitudes, one must make oneself grotesque.

We recently moved to a country with no daylight savings and looking in from the outside yeah it's a bugfuck crazy system

Not to worry though because our two year old has decided to keep it interesting by just getting out of bed and opening the door a bit to peek out at us like a creeper

Mine will stand completely still in the darkness staring wordlessly like a creepy doll until we yelp in alarm that the weird little blob in the corner is actually our kid just standing there the whole time :stonk:

I've heard that Novo Nordisk gives a full year off, salaried, as long as the employee has been there for 3 years.

e: apparently it's 37 weeks, 9 months employment required

Struensee has issued a correction as of 10:28 on Nov 10, 2023

I got three months paid leave. I do count it as a personal success though, since the policy was essentially made for my benefit, going up from nothing at all except the legal right to take leave. At least the company can honestly claim that they never made any gender based difference in paternity/maternity leave.

In general, it seems like paid leave is a benefit that more prestigious companies in Denmark use to attract and keep talent. It's a pretty good development, especially now that fathers (and comothers, but let's be honest, it's fathers) are forced to take a significant part of the subsidized leave.

Bluey is kinda hosed up for a kids show

Of course, there's the argument to be made it's actually a parenting show with a kids' show veneer

For sure. The episode where Bandit takes them to the movies and the one where he's waiting for the spring rolls really hits close to home. Also the scenes with an exhausted Bandit and Chili lying on the couch on their tablet and phone after they put the kids to bed are dead on.

I do find it weird that in spite of not wearing clothes they regularly do laundry :psyduck:

Yeah its very funny.

I think the funniest scene in Bluey for me is the one where they are trying to distract their youngest cousin so the kidsget their dad and uncle to pretend to be a horse bride and groom at a wedding.

Having been to more than one petting zoo and farm this weekend, I have deduced that my daughter is scared of goats if and only if they have beards. The longer and more majestic the goat beard, the greater the fear response

She does not think animals should have beards. A bearded animal is macabre and off-putting. It's like if sometimes, but not always, pigs had human hands, and everybody acted like it was normal and not weird

yes. lol

While talking to her about it I asked if she liked Daddy's beard and she said yes but that she did not like the goat beards. This was not a white lie because she is three years old and could not tell a white lie under any circumstances whatsoever. This is what led me to the conclusion that she just doesn't think animals should have beards, because beards are for people.

Bring me the head of Auguste Escoffier.
We took our kids to a wildlife park a couple years back and our (then) 3yo got swarmed by kangaroos while holding a feed bag. She understandably freaked out, but once rescued and safe behind a fence, enjoyed the kangaroos and even fed them.

The surprisingly tall cow just standing in a paddock just minding its own business in a fenced off paddock? Meltdown into inconsolable tears and had to be carried past it on our return journey.
