Politically Correct OTD
A mister no more: Mr. Potato Head goes gender neutral
- So neither a uterus haver, nor a sperm emitter. That makes senseGnash
- I don’t get how dropping the Mr. Benefits anyone. The two dad / two mum families is a nice idea though.mort_
- The benefit is media stories. Along with getting ahead of inevitable Twitter rage about hateful honorifics - like Mr. And Mrs.Gnash
- got you talking about itpango
- talking about the stupidity of it, not advancing the crux of the thinking.cannonball1978
- Don’t overthink it. It’s just a part of marketing these daysGnash
- long live potato headStoicLevels
- its a potato head. not much crux.pango
- I want to say something like "People are actually getting upset about a toy potato?", but of course they are.garbage

- As a self identifying potato I find this offensive.Chimp
- Leftist Mob ruining another thing. OTD for sure.HAMT
- Also to be clear, they just rebranded to the name Potato Head. They will still sell Mr. and Mrs. Potato Heads.garbage
- I shouldn't expect snowflakes to read, but also can't fathom the limp-dick outrage that some of you are having over potato-themed toys. For children.garbage

Coronavirus
99.5% survival rate
- and? that'd be 1,645,00 Americans dead. is that okay to you then?inteliboy
- you're probably the type that would have spat statistics against mandatory seatbelt wearing.inteliboy
- How do you figure?? Global cases 113M, 2.5M Deaths. Math = 2.23%. MATH!!!!ArmandoEstrada
- Everyone who catches COVID has to take a pill form a bag of 100. 2 are poison and will kill you. Will you risk getting COVID?ArmandoEstrada
- Armando, did it ever occur to you that only percentage of total cases get tested?pr2
- Here come the anti-science deniers. QBN Fascists Activated™Hayoth
- Inteli, based on various vaccine data, only 10% of non-vaccinated people will get the virus within a year. So your 0.5% of the total is profoundly incorrect.pr2
- Remember when you had a bitch-fit and said you'd never come back here? Nobody here wants to explain 7th grade science to you.garbage
- Survival isn't just the end. And yeah, it crippled the world's economy and social interstate because "it's just the flu", right? Go back to your sad place.garbage
- Typical trolling. You pathetic idiots just like to take a shit in the street and watch people's reactions.CyBrainX
- Sounds like some people are angry about the survival odds. You should be happy.ApeRobot
- I love all of you—please be safe. regardless of what numbers you’re looking at—remember how unpredictably this shit picks it’s victims. Again—be safe, dicks.PonyBoy
- pr2, if you payed attention - you'd see this number was based on the post I was replying to.inteliboy
- HE'S RIGHT!
If you look at the data that was sent via WhatsApp and posted on Facebook, the survival rate is definitely 99.5%Projectile - 675,000 Americans died of Spanish flu, a much deadlier epidemic, but not to be outdone, Americans are trying to beat that record.PhanLo
- what about the long term damage of those that survive?Leigh
- What about any other virus or diseases with long term damage?ApeRobot
- 99.5% survival rate? Not true.monospaced

Fatherly frustration!
11-year-old Son wants to give up soccer (sorry, futbol). The last few years he's realized he's not the fastest/best and now he makes excuses not to even try. He went from the lead kid in the laps to one of the last. 'My leg hurts', 'my back hurts' etc.
After a year of quarantine and sedentary life and he's even more reluctant to play this Spring. His mom and I aren't sports super stars but we still want him to move his body. Also, he's a smart player and he does have potential. I feel like he needs to get out of his head and just have fun. Where is this switch located?
Is this a battle to fight or just throw in the towel? Find another sport? (not Rocket League or Fortnite).
- Print and frame this picture and tell him, "This kid also quit soccer"
http://3.bp.blogspot…futurefood - Give him a choice.
It’s either football or a 6-day/week PPLPPL weights routine in the gym.
Pick one, junior.Continuity - (The previous advice comes from a non-parent. That’s a bullet I happily dodged.)Continuity
- Just let it go, your son just doesn't want to play anymore. He was probably playing for your adoration. He'll eventually figure out what really interests him.utopian
- All the signs of a great future coachgrafician
- is there any other sport he's interested in?oey_oey
- "You have to play a sport. You choose which one. Can't be a joke sport."nb
- He has to tell you what he wants to replace it withcannonball1978
- cannonball is right. let him choose the replacement.exador1
- when my kids were younger, they did about 5-6 years of martial arts. eventually, around blackbelt level, they just got sick and tired of it...exador1
- for me, my only goal was that they could protect themselves in a fight..that sort of thing...and it 'was' excellent for a workout...exador1
- my daughter was at the age, where she was actually getting her first part time job, and it was as a gymnastics coach, so that was great.... but my son...exador1
- was in the same situation as your kid... sitting around watching tv... so we gave it to him to make the choice...do something physical...you choose...exador1
- he chose hip-hop dancing... goes about 3 times a week (when not in lockdown) and it's about an hour each time... super good workout...exador1
- my daughter also joined a fencing club, so that was a kick-ass workout as well :)exador1
- poker is a sport, right?pango
- @pango, also, pole dancepablo28
- Maybe he's gaydrgs
- Buy him a skateboard. Way cooler scene for hanging out as a kid.microkorg
- +1 for sk8sinjun
- Let him go... My dad wanted me to be a sport guy, mom wanted me to be opposite to everything my dad suggested... Finished doing comics and art.
I'm still aliveOBBTKN - Now, I love cycling, but I know I would have ended up disgusted with the elite sport. Let him to follow his route, it's his life! Guide him, don't pushOBBTKN
- You can only encourage and support, make it as much fun for him as possible, once it starts becoming a chore it’s no longer fun and they’ll quit._niko
- Like others have said, let him know that physical activity is important so he needs to pick something he loves, quitting soccer doesn’t mean it’s replaced with_niko
- Fortnite or other video games. Healthy competition is great, teamwork is great, comradery is great, getting the heart pumping is great, all life benefits_niko
- this video helped me and my son in his soccer, he almost gave up now hes flourishing: https://www.youtube.…_niko

- Truly appreciate all of this. Deep down I know he’ll find his way. Navigating it all is tough stuffmisterhow

- is there a way to switch between pixel /vector mode in ps these days?hans_glib
- click three times for 3 pixels. after you can modify the areas you want removed before adding fill by holding down option key + marquee rectanglehotroddy
- or selecting the shape layer by holding down command key will give you pixel based outline.hotroddy
- Holy shit the LINE tool?! What year is itnb

Bitcoin
"Nothing sedates rationality like large doses of effortless money. After a heady experience of that kind, normally sensible people drift into behavior akin to that of Cinderella at the ball. They know that overstaying the festivities - that is, continuing to speculate in companies that have gigantic valuations relative to the cash they are likely to generate in the future - will eventually bring on pumpkins and mice. But they nevertheless hate to miss a single minute of what is one helluva party. Therefore, the giddy participants all plan to leave just seconds before midnight. There’s a problem, though: They are dancing in a room in which the clocks have no hands."-Warren Buffett 2000 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Report
