Revolutionary parenting hack:
If your child is in the middle of some activity and clearly enjoying it (and wasn't supposed to be doing something else instead), DO NOT interrupt them and have them do chores that will "only take 5 minutes or so!"
You haven't asked them to do anything before they got out the Legos, started reading a chapter of their book or painting the complicated picture, or began playing their video game.
As a result of being repeatedly interrupted, they will learn that their presence in public space of the household=availability to do chores, so they will make themselves scarce so you can't find them and order them around. They will also become suspicious of your efforts to engage with them as they play, as they've learned that these pleasantries are a prelude to "Take out the trash", or "move your boots and vacuum the entryway, there's dirt everywhere ".
"But I need my children to help me around the house!", I hear you cry. I understand. Children should not be treated like royalty and left to their own devices 24/7.
An alternative is to give the kids a clearly delineated chore chart and stick to it, resisting the urge to add anything to it. There are some chores that are easier and quicker with two people, though. A (in my opinion) even better option is to divide the child's day into "on-duty" and "off-duty " time. When they're on-duty, you can interrupt them as before, but you have *consulted with your child beforehand * and they understand that during this time they can relax, but they must be ready to jump in and lend a hand.
That way they won't start trying to level up in their video game or break out the clay and make stuff. When they are off-duty, you leave them alone and their only responsibilities are to clean up whatever mess they make at the end of this time.
Also, if they are tearing around the house or whining about being bored, don't make them do chores so they will "have something to do"; this could make the child conflate extra chores with punishment for whining and make them reluctant to help out when you randomly tell them to at other times because they might think they're being punished but they have NO IDEA WHAT THEY DID. And IMO children should see chores as things everyone has to do no matter what, not punishments.
I may seem unqualified to offer parenting advice as I have no kids, but I was talking with my dad today and he said: "I wish you didn't hide from us in your room so much, but every time your mom walked by she'd give you a chore to do, so I can't blame you for that." A kid who hides in their room to play has an entirely different relationship to the family than the child who sprawls on the livingroom floor and excitedly describes the city they are building out of Legos.
And today, in times of Covid I play a complicated game of hide-and-seek with my mother as I try to do my online coding homework and apply for jobs. I am now attempting to turn my bedroom into my own tiny office because if I work in our home office, she'll find me and go "I can't attach this file to my email," and so on.
Children *have* to obey their parents when they are young. But true respect and honoring collective responsibilities is stronger than forced obedience. If you demonstrate to your children that you respect them and their time, they will reciprocate.
Tl;dr if your child is "always hiding in their room", there is a reason for it and setting a regular routine and boundaries will benefit both of you in the long run.
some people are so cute. like wtf where did you get the cheat code for that
He just shit on your whole life, bitch.
Ok so for those of you who are also bad with following social cues and don’t get how he destroyed her
The gifs are from Project Runway, and the woman is a judge who is supposed to be offering useful critique regarding what the man has made. In the first gif, she insults the colour of the lace, and offers no useful advice, like a proper critique should. She’s supposed to be helping him, and is instead using her authority to insult him. In the second gif, he thanks her, which calls out the fact that she was supposed to give advice and didn’t, and that she is now in the wrong. In the third gif, she’s assumed that he’s arrogant, and attempts drives in the insult by pointing out she wasn’t complementing him, but instead sets herself up to get rekt. In the fourth gif, he points out that he didn’t take it as a compliment, thus subtly calling her out on the fact that she wasn’t delivering the critique she was supposed to give, and was instead being a bitch for the sake of being a bitch, and also making it clear that SHE KNEW she wasn’t doing her job. All in a way where he can’t be called on being rude to a judge.
The fifth gif is her realising just how much she’s fucked herself over.

#beingacomputerprogrammingmajor : Testing out html scripts on Pokemon Go and finding out it actually works.
Isn’t this a potential problem though? Can you run a malicious script in the namebox there? If so, they will most certainly have to fix that before they implement trading.
is it even possible to write a malicious script in html?

idk why people photoshopped the crying cat meme on this pic when the unedited version is so powerful
lately i’ve been replacing my “i’m sorry”s with “thank you”s, like instead of “sorry i’m late” i’ll say “thanks for waiting for me”, or instead of “sorry for being such a mess” i’ll say “thank you for loving me and caring about me unconditionally” and it’s not only shifted the way i think and feel about myself but also improved my relationships with others who now get to receive my gratitude instead of my negativity
This is some 2017 mood
