There's a rhombus on my argyle sock There's a rhombus on my argyle sweater There's a rhombus, on that diamond back snake Rhombus, oh you'd better not pet her I saw a rhombus shaped kite flying up in the sky I saw a rhombus shaped marking on the head of a horse I saw a rhombus shaped sandwich at a fancy party And a rhombus shaped sign that said baby on board A rhombus is a diamond With all sides the same length BOT A: You can measure it You can ride a bus, but have you ever ridden rhombus? BOT A: This playing card has a diamond on it BOT B: I prefer to call it a rhombus BOT A: Go fish! See a rhombus on a jeweled crown Run a rhombus when you hit a home run With a rhombus you can draw a manta ray A rhombus is all kinds of fun! It's a rhombus BOT A: You look nice in that argyle sweater BOT B: Thank you. It was a gift from the horse.

But while part of the post-Trump right-wing coalition, [Barstool Conservatives] are very different from traditional social conservatives. They don’t see a society with widespread porn access and legalized weed as a problem; they see it as progress. Christian sexual morality holds less than zero appeal to them; they might even support same-sex marriage or (like Portnoy himself) legalized abortion.

So… liberals. They’re liberals.

As a dad with a four, three, and two year old, I’m in full support of this.

I don’t remember elf on the shelf as a kid.

The whole concept is creepy and I’m comfortable teaching my kiddos to be good to impress Santa - whose existence is on par with spider-man, superman, etc. - so he’d WANT to give them presents, for being good humans.

But I fully admit i still don’t know what I’m doing 95% of the time as a parent…

EDIT: by “in full support of this” I mean abandoning the practice of elf on the shelf, not bounding and hooding said elf

Are there any devil’s advocate arguments in favor or non-harmful benefits of a parental- supervised, version of this, though? Not expecting much.

I’m just as honestly ignorant about this crap as most of the other folks here, but genuinely curious, so I don’t just go with my knee jerk reaction (ban this shit, it’s harmful for society) without considering facts of which I’m unaware.

My dog is also scared of the glug glug, will flinch every single time the sound is made. Has been this way for 6 years since we rescued her

Heck yeah.

Even better as a dad, paying the measly $5/mo for PBS passport, so I can stumble upon worthwhile content (Nature, American Experience, This Old House before they shifted to separate subscription, random local gems like Arizona Stories, etc…) while also seeing my kiddos enjoy PBS kids (free BTW)
