My sick mind and poor eyesight thought that said "porno videos."

As a child, my school evaluated all students' IQs, and the ones above a certain score were labeled "MGM" (mentally gifted minors) and put into "gifted" classes. Nothing has held me back more in life than being told I'm objectively smarter than someone else.

It has taken years to respect the virtue of discipline in learning. Throughout school, and then into adult life, if something didn't come easily to me, I would abandon it instantly, because the notion of having to work for a skill was so foreign to me.

We should never praise the child (you're so smart), we should praise their effort (great work on this).

In other news, birth rates are inexplicably plummeting across the globe. Governments remain baffled.

We cancelled Prime when they decided to charge extra to prevent commercials on streaming (enshittification). Then, when our Prime anniversary date came, they charged us for another year anyway. Currently exploring how to get a refund.

It is mind boggling how anyone supports that drooling moron.

Imagine the ghostwriter tasked with this, trying (and failing) to dumb down his post to sound like his moron boss.

Absolutely this. Today's streaming is now worse than cable and at least as expensive. Add to that how the major services are shoving ads back in even on "ad-free" tiers, and it's time to set sail.
