Stop the American bashing, what does it help? Try to replace the word ‘Americans’ in your post with any other nationality or group and see where that leads you. Germans, have you actually? Iranians, have you actually? Gays, have you actually? Blacks, have you actually? Fat people, have you actually? OP, have you actually?

Nice try mister secret agent

Same we’re doing now, which seems to be safe enough so far. What would you suggest, march an army into Russia? You go first!

Yum yum more war porridge, and this time it’s cooked by Chef Intelligence Agency himself! Eat, eat it all up plebs. Last good meal before the war!

Because a baby is a small mammal seeking the warmth and heartbeat of its caretaker. This is of utmost importance for its wellbeing and proper development. Taking that away to avoid a tiny chance of death? It’s up to you. I chose the small risk. I chose many small risks throughout my kid’s life because I believed taking them all away and coddling them from every danger would make for a very reduced learning experience and a lot less love and fun.

Crying strengthens the lungs! /s

I believe in most Western countries these theories are outdated by now. Nobody criticized my cosleeping in the early 2000s, it was already debunked as a cause of SIDS. Maybe that’s different in the US?

Someone posted a link from 2013, so some of this info is outdated. Some of it might be different approaches in different cultures and countries. And people just love being right, don’t they, and they love getting angry when it’s for the ‘protection of children’. Especially when they think the opponent is a ‘dirty hippie’ following any kind of non-mainstream woo-woo ideas. I’m just sorry for their kids. A baby is a small mammal and their sense of safety directly derives from closeness with the caretaker. Babies who feel safe are more likely to turn into adults who feel safe.

Not true, where do you have your info from? Pretty much everyone I know including myself has co-slept with their babies. I’ve never heard of a single problem with that, not from them and not in the news. However, if it gets taxing to the point of passing out, have the dead and some aunties step in and let the mom take time off!

Edit: no, you should not let the dead care for your baby! Maybe ask the dad first.

It’s okay. Don’t let your babies sleep alone.

“threat grows” What is he going to do? More single drones? Stop escalating for no good reason. Don’t believe the war mongers and their narrative of fear.

Thank you for your voice of reason. Some people here on Lemmy are talking out of their arses and really need to stop.

I believe a lot of the messages of the last few days about “Russia dangerous, send more money to the military” are in bad faith. Not because Russia is all wonderful. But the so-called attacks are tiny. So there’s drones everywhere, yes, but are they causing damage? Why would that warrant a full-on escalation with Russia?

Where have all our peace movements gone?

Today the frankenmouseboard got a new cable. Of course this kind of maintenance only happens once in a blue moon, after procrastinating a huge project up until the last day to then find out it involves clicking Ctrl+C 2500 times and the old cable is finally too old to work anymore. Couldn’t be arsed to go downstairs to fetch proper tools so I just chopped one of my charging cables to length with a kitchen knife (will have to replace when visiting town), looked up a diagram for the cable colours, and fucked it all together with sticky tape.

Now the cable is slightly longer and I’m very pleased with myself. I like this low effort low budget stuff a lot more than the fancy stuff I used to do that required ordering 1234567 parts from China.

Wait this reminds me of the sourdough bread that needs to go in the oven. Thanks!

I’m not a dev by far but I read ‘hardcoded credentials’, was going to scroll on as I do, stopped, made a weird face and then laughed out loud for quite a while. Security, yeah. It’s at same time strange, really funny and very sad that words have lost all meaning. We’re living in full doublespeak times.
