Ok that’s what I thought haha, I was confused - I thought the title might have meant the refs blew a call and he went out. Instead he just broke ankles

Wait not having seen the game - does it look like he should have been tackled but made the play, or did the refs miss him going out of bounds or something? I’m confused by the title

No no, surely the solution to this is a mechanical one

Kids that age are not in touch with the “why” behind their feelings. Hell, adults my age aren’t really so good at that either. Our kids mirror us, and if neither your nor your partner feel comfortable in public your kiddo may feel like they feel the same.

In my experience with my two (8 and 3.5), I try to get them to tell me:

• what they are feeling - how does your body feel? Is it hot, tight, lots of energy, hurty, like you’re sick? How does your heart feel? Is it achy, nervous?
• when are they feeling it - “hey bud, next time you feel that can you please tell me so I know? I want to help but I don’t always see it.”
• who is around when they feel it - maybe they have some less good interactions with kids or grown up’s (not necessarily inappropriate just not good for them)

Then you get some information about what causes this to feel that way, and that can be more helpful than what they think is the cause.

I have friends who swear by token systems (stars, tickets, etc.) never been a huge fan myself, the kids start to respond to the incentive more than the behavior. But your mileage may vary.

Hitting is hard. It’s very developmentally appropriate but emotionally charged. I do not mind being hit, but my wife absolutely cannot take being hit by our kids (understandably!). Sometimes she has to remove herself from the situation because her response is (again, understandably) emotional. I find that my kids need to be told what the right behavior is in that moment - to them hitting isn’t necessarily as weighty or impactful as it is to an adult. It’s just a way the feel to express their emotions, and I see it as my job to teach them other, better ways instead

I have not found punishments to work with my 3.5 year old. She doesn’t connect her actions with consequences, especially if they are delayed like “if you don’t brush your teeth there’s no book before bed.” We don’t hit our kids and you shouldn’t either, so the only immediate consequences are removal like “if you don’t stop hitting your brother with that ball peen hammer I will take it and put it away.”

Instead what I’ve found useful for my kid is telling, not asking. For instance bed times have been a serious struggle for weeks with her. My wife negotiated and discusses - explaining ourselves, that it’s time for bed, and why, has worked before. But not now. Instead we have a firm routine - bath, brush teeth, one book, one song, kiss on the head, love you, goodnight. Then I spend the next 5-40 minutes standing outside her door. When she comes out or gets up, I don’t argue or engage. “It’s bed time sweetie, goodnight I love you” forehead kiss, bed.

Night one she’s kicking and screaming for 45 minutes. Night 2 was 20, last night was 5. It’s not neglect or ignoring her, just being very clear and direct. It’s bed time. Goodnight. “I wanna ask momma a queeeeeeestiooooooooon” it’s bed time. Goodnight.

“It’s NOT bed time!” Same answer

So far so good, but routine has worked better than punishment IME

Specifically for hitting and hurting we’ve found redirection works. With my older son, when he was about that age, we would tell him “when we feel like hitting, we hug instead.” That helped to give him a physical action and redirect his emotions. With our daughter, again, we’ve just been very firm. “We NEVER touch other people like that.” And we disengage. Escalation makes it worse and again, punishment doesn’t really help. So we try to teach them the rules “we NEVER touch people like that” and the correct behavior “and when we do, we need to tell them we are sorry.”

Not to mention India and China vs. the US

Total emissions would tell a different story but population is not the only factor here

Then you will have software that doesn’t work. This is not a Firefox problem, or a problem of extensions, or anything but a user problem.

If your 1998 Toyota Camry is struggling to haul a cargo container up a hill it’s not the car’s fault. You’re doing it wrong. Whatever tasks you’re trying to do with 1000 tabs, a web browser is the wrong tool for the job.

Maybe don’t have a THOUSAND tabs

Yeah I don’t trust the good will of corporations, even the ones I personally like

Yeah GOG is a better ownership model. Steam is not ownership

I mean I hate to say it but if steam closed up shop tomorrow your games are gone too. You buy a license, not a copy, from steam

This is a fascinatingly weird take

“Not wanting fascists in my sports” is childish? Man this is fast cars driven by rich kids. This is billionaires measuring dicks. This sport is incredible but it isn’t so important that I’d give my team (not McLaren lol) a pass because I like their vroom vroom the best.

Every accusation is a confession. I think mixing politics and sports is fine. Great, actually. Morally correct, even. Sending black and Jewish athletes to the 1936 Olympics was political. Black athletes in the US kneeling for the anthem was political. Megan Rapinoe advocating for trans athletes is political. Hamilton wearing a pride flag in Qatar was political. McLaren accepting Trump IS POLITICAL. The difference between Trump and Biden showing up in the pit is that Biden is not an insurrectionist fascist. I think that matters, but I guess that distinction is childish to you? My guy you need to take a fucking breath.

Hey guess what? I’m also pissed at that. You keep acting like this is the first time anyone has been mad at a sports team. Stop being so precious.

Edit: anything is possible when you hold people to the basic standard of “dont support fascists” https://youtu.be/6wE5HnpBRGk?si=FR1JUJfU7-xlvLuR

Yeah you’re right. Everyone should be able to smile and gladhand with fascists as long as they’re someone ELSE’S fascists. /s

If Putin or Margaret thatcher (May she burn in hell) showed up in the Yankees’ dugout I’d expect them treat them like a fascist. Stop being so precious about a sport.

Nah fuck off

Because he is a fascist and I expect everyone to take a strong stand against fascists
