  • I highly doubt I will have the time to try all the new research drug-games my children acquire access to. Better stick to first party Nintendo games-drugs.

    In all seriousness, PBS kids apps on mobile go hard, work on any device, and are fairly educational while being easy to use and fun enough to hold attention while being completely FREE.

    We’ve paid for ABC mouse but the whole fuckin thing reeks of slot machine pokie stimulus while the puzzles and games crash often. The only thing that 100% works all the time is the store to exchange your “tickets”

    Abc mouse is the highest rated most teacher recommended app and it’s fucking awful.

    My 3 year old has gotten way more out of free software than any pay software that’s littered with addictive BS.

    I would recommend:

    GCompris

    Khan academy kids

    Learn to read Duolingo ABC

    PBS anything

    Let’s not pretend that ranked choiced voting in Oz didn’t elect Tony Abbott, the prototype for Trump’s one liners and spewing hate.

    Every answer to whatever question: “Stap the boats”

    Don’t get me wrong. I’m all for it. But it’s not some silver bullet that will make all the party candidates turn into Jesus.

    Nuclear weapons are expensive and complicated to maintain. The military has been bitching for many years that the price to maintain old nuclear munitions is rapidly increasing.

    Instead of seeing this as working as intended, and trying to get everyone to agree not to develop new nuclear weapons… The military strategists decided that since China was making 500 new nuclear weapons we needed to make new ones too and pulled out of the agreement with Russia not to develop new nukes.

    I would have thought that if it was hard for us to maintain the nuclear weapons with a massive budget that Russia might fail at that task. Which would be good for everyone.

    But there’s always been more money in star wars and missile defense then diplomacy.




  • We’re you refered to physical therapy after breaking your foot? Or are you able to see if insurance will pay because your mobility has been reduced?

    I had several injuries in the military that left me unable to stand, walk, drive a car, or balance for very long. With the help of physical therapy I was eventually able to walk properly, then after some time I was able to take a ride to work a job where I was sometimes sitting but often standing. Eventually I was able to work and exercise enough that I got all my balance and mobility back.

    Having public transit helped me when I still didn’t have enough fine motor control to operate a pedal and brake.

    Not everyone is on the same journey, but please see if you can access physical therapy. Please advocate for not just healing but making yourself whole.
