My wife and I had to struggle to remember the word “hook” in the context of “the phone is off the hook”.

That is much more reasonable, one of a couple possibilities I’m now seeing.

So many of these parents seem to handwave responsibility from fictional scenarios.

Do appreciate the classic “yOu MuSt NoT hAvE kIDs” response to literally any form of parental criticism though.

“But I learned it from you!” 😭

Awkward to say…but you can be an armchair parent even if you have kids :|

This could be. I mentioned in another reply, I did assume I’d only see local currency prices. Seeing 3+ responses questioning the currency makes me think that’s a likely explanation.

Well…I didn’t consider that. I tried to find the ad again but couldn’t make the same one appear. I did get a different Amazon ad which I clicked through and confirmed its price was in USD. I did assume I’d only see ads with prices in local currency but that could be a bad assumption.

Hello Armchair Parent! And welcome.

Plenty of actual parents relate to dropping whatever they’re doing to find out why kids 1 and 2 are screaming in another room (argument, saw a spider, “play” screaming, who knows). That gives an eternity of time to a mischievous 2yo kid #3 to grab the shiny toy so carelessly dropped without being locked GASP! and then tap not just twice but >100 times.

Factor in a parent being a normie mobile user whose browser already has permission to open Amazon links in their Amazon app, and then it’s only a matter of the 2yo clicking big cartoony button “Buy Now” and then big cartoony button “Place Order” but hey what are the chances of that :P

Justin Sane, frontman of punk rock’s Anti-Flag, was recently accused of “predatory behavior, sexual assault, and statutory rape.”

Allegedly he’d eyefuck girls from the stage during shows in a very “That’s right, I’m a rockstar, lookin’ at you” kind of way, and somehow get them invited backstage later.

His bandmates disbanded after the news broke. Bandmates say they weren’t aware, that they stand with the victims, and they condemn his actions.

I saw Anti-Flag at a small venue years back and it makes me wonder if it happened to fellow concertgoers that night.

I like the idea of this. At present time it doesn’t look like any Fitbit-branded devices are supported, unless I’m missing something.

That was fantastic

My best friend from high school had one with a broken stand/tripod. Everything else worked fine but you needed to lay on your back and balance it on your face, and end up with a big red ring around your face after. I remember Wario jumping from foreground to background and back.
