@hitmyspot @dadsplain I think that is kind of what we've been doing. I didn't know it was a named method. We don't force her to finish her meals completely. She just needs some encouragement to improve the vegetable variety in her diet.

@threeduck @dadsplain That is still kind of my instinct, but my daughter's pickiness got to the point that it affected her health. Fortunately, we've made enough progress over the past few years that that problem is behind us. Now we're just working on variety. We're not forcing her to clean her plate. She just needs some encouragement and light pressure to figure out how to enjoy more than one type of vegetable.

@rxin @dadsplain it's VLC for Android.

@streetfestival @dadsplain I deserve to have a little bit of warm and quiet.

@Tolookah @dadsplain after dinner it turns into a kitchen dance off.

@Kolanaki @dadsplain oh no

@CrimeDad @dadsplain And apparently the images in Lemmy replies don't show up in Mastodon either lol. #Mastodon #Lemmy

@Umbrias @SirBoostALot @usa The Joshua trees are relevant because it's an indictment of the system that produces the incentives that make destroying a forest of them a good business plan. We have the technology to safely generate plenty of reliable, clean electricity nearby to where people will use it. Instead, we go out into the desert and then pick one of the worst spots in the desert just to cheaply conjure up some renewable energy credits and call it good for the environment. It's sickening.

@ptz @nostupidquestions Oh no. I don't think I default to the Tucker Carlson confused face, but I'm a little worried that I might. I just signed on to a Teams meeting and my CEO immediately asked me why I looked confused.

@Kory @asklemmy I'm 38. To me people older than that are objectively older people. I can't think of anyone younger than 45 with whom I've had this problem.

@NABDad @asklemmy okay maybe I'm being a little hyperbolic.

@crimedad @aww Also, in addition to meeting this little guy another fun thing about my flight was the announcement the captain made regarding vaping. He reminded us that it's a federal offence to use a vape device on a US flight and that he would have to report it to US authorities "if we see it … one more time."
