Playing Zelda: Tears of the kingdom.

It’s pretty cool. The world is massive and exploration, especially of the underground is a lot of fun.

The game does contain a lot of busywork and the control scheme is pretty different from other games I play. That hampers my ability to continue with other games I was playing so I’m in a rush to end it.

Planning on FFXVI and a new Minecraft play though with my daughter after TotK.

If you start teaching them about sex when they are engaging in sexual activities you’re clearly to late.

Kids aged 10 will understand what sex but haven’t yet participated in it. In that sense it’s the perfect age to start education. Kids that know what sex is will be much likely to be able to set their own boundaries.

The headline about teaching 10-year-olds how to use Grindr is clearly someone making clickbait and not giving a sh*t about representing the actuality.

I forgot to mention that I use it last in chain right before the amp. My amp is pretty clean with a small jump in the kids. I haven’t experimented much with its placement on the board. I guess I should try it before my reverb.

It is pretty rad! I don’t do the Gilmour thing myself, I don’t even own a strat right now. I think it was mostly intended as a gilmour machine though.

The big muff is pretty similar to how I remember my old American muff . I use it for pumping adjacent smearing.

The pedal itself has a crazy EQ. The knobs have a huge effect and can be used for to get to pretty extreme sounds. It has two channels with two different gain knobs each. To me the “character” knob sounds like pushing a power amp and the “gain” knob like a pretty tame guitar preamp.

I use one channel for a pretty clean mid-scooped sound with some added power amp drive. I use it like a reverse tubescreamer, adding some sparkle and bottom end but also adding a tiny bit of compression and harmonics.

I use the other channel for a pretty chunky tone that gets out of the way.

Both channels stack super well with just about anything else on my board.

Not sure why this is a modest board. Looks pretty dang nice to me!

I’ve been looking at volume pedals lately. Would you recommend the one by Valeton?

Seems pretty natural for a 4 year old to not always understand their own emotions. “Main character syndrome” seems a little harsh to me.

There might be some emotions around going school/leaving home that your daughter doesn’t fully understand. Maybe exploring emotions with fiction will help. The book color monster by Anna Llenas was great in helping my son better understand his own emotions.

I also noticed you are addressing both the rabbit and the emotion in the following sentence.

It’s okay to be sad. You’ll see pink bunny soon. You have your teddy bear in the car, hug him.

This can be hard to parse for a four year old. My son is almost getting four and he has quite the temperament. I’ve learned that it really helps to disconnect the emotion from the “trigger” by acknowledging it and talking about the emotion and how to deal with it in isolation.

Him: I wan to brink my truck!

Me: you can’t bring the trucks.

Him: give me my truck I want it.

Me: No, we’ll have to keep it at home.

Him: crying I want my trucks.

Me: Does that make you feel sad?

Him: yes I want my truck.

Me: nohh, it’s no fun to be sad!

Him: booooo

Me: I know of something that helps when you’re sad!

Him: huh?

Me: feeling sad is no fun at all. It helps to get a really nice hug when you feel sad.

hug

Him: smile

Me: do you feel better?

Him: a little

Me: Alright let’s go!

Him: okay sob

We’ve performed this act quite a few times and pretty often other topics pop up throughout. Talking them to their conclusions really clears the air and is a big bonding experience.

We’ve been dealing with anger and sadness mostly. When your daughter is angry it’s important to let her vent. She might need some help to start venting but it shouldn’t be to hard to get her going. When she’s scared it’s important let her know you’ll be there to help her confront it and she’s sad she’ll need some comfort/security. Hugs seem to do the trick for us.

TLDR:

  • Reading tip: color monster by Anna Llenas
  • isolate emotion from trigger
  • provide coping mechanism depending on type of emotion.

The thing is: It doesn’t sound very chorussy at all. It just sound really beefy. If I kick the tailspin on its like I’m kicking on a boost. Is that how wet/dry usually works?

Oof, this is such a bad article. Please take it with a grain of salt.

The reason those livestock farms have to close down has nothing to do with climate change. It has to do with biodiversity. Let me elaborate:

The Netherlands has a big issue with nitrogen deposition. Due to the intensive nature of livestock farming in some areas some pretty unique biomes are disappearing. That in turn has consequences for biodiversity and the EU made laws to protect certain areas from getting worse in that respect.

The farms that are being closed down won’t have much impact on food security. It’s farms around certain Nature preserves: the so called Natura 2000 areas.

This will cause a lot of families and even rural communities grief because their businesses will either have to pivot away from large scale livestock or seize to exist.

Honestly: for my social media consumption Reddit works pretty well. I always used to webinterface so for nothing really changed.

I am here because I felt like changing things up more than anything. Well: the fediverse is a super interesting idea and looking at something fresh is always fun.

Still; it seems pretty likely that this place will be a good deal smaller than Reddit for the foreseeable future and that’s both a strength and a weakness.

The main strength of Reddit is it’s nichier subs. There is one for just about anything. You need a massive volume of users to do such a thing and I don’t think Lemmy will reach that size anytime soon.

I expect Lemmy to be a place where people value Openness and Freedom. Generally there are less people that care about Freedom AND Pu’er tea than there are people who care about just Pu’er tea.

I wonder what will happen to Lemmy in a couple of years🤔

How about Pu’er, white tea and my personal fave, Oolong?

I drink all of them from time to time but green tea and oolong make up most of my drinking volume.
