Reply to Healthy childhood development through outdoor risky play: Navigating the balance with injury prevention | Canadian Paediatric Society by hollyhoppet

tentatively, i agree with their conclusions, but the paragraph about "watchwords" reducing the confidence of children and their interest in play is totally unfounded based on the article that they cite, which is just a proposed experimental protocol! based on that and the article's tone in general, i do get the impression that the authors aren't quite impartially weighing up the risks and benefits of risky/unstructured play in the way that i would hope to see in an academic article

Reply to Adopting rightwing policies ‘does not help centre-left win votes’ by Moonside

after the failure of sanders and corbyn somehow i doubt that the point of ostensibly "left" parties "adopting" rightwing policies is to win votes but rather guarantee the profits and ideologies of the donor class. they have no incentive or interest in actually governing or delivering even the weak progressive policies they claim to support because they do quite well off of donations, insider trading, "speeches" for the private sector, etc

Reply to worlds best post censored by moderators becomes worlds greatest controversy. its title? "heh... by facts and logic... you must vote for joe biden" by twovests

its kind of weird thinking that actually this is the normal playbook for the democrats. the obama election, which preceded basically the defining presidency for my political identity, was actually an outlier because people were actually excited to vote for him lol. it'll be 99% hitlers until the usa ends

Reply to [cw suicide, gun violence] The Death of a Gun-Rights Warrior by oolong

i dont want to be overly cold about a story where a man commits suicide but i want to emphasise that at the end of the day, this guy who crafted his identity about being a emotionally stoic defender of his family completely succumbed to his emotions and left his daughters without a father and his wife without a husband in what sounds like a time of financial stress. he never used his guns to protect his family or community. it was all just an affectation in order to distance himself from the "pink" people he resented so much

Reply to currently playing in stars and time by anethum

i feel like Pushmo might be an older sister type game for some reason, but i don't think my older sister would enjoy it. she likes crash bash for the playstation one, specifically the air hockey game, and that's about it.
