what’s the difference between “god did it” and “it just happened”? you’re just hand waving over the question of “how did it just happen?”. matter just magically appeared?

it’s more like getting into a cold swimming pool, you’ll never be fully prepared you just need to jump in
i have no data to back this up but it really feels like you get a different experience ordering from the app compared to drive thru. the order is always correct, the packaging is nicer (they have special drink bags with drink holders inside the bag for example), the food even seems better. i have a conspiracy they are making the normal experience worse to push people to the app
my kids watch lots of movies/tv shows on the family tv and play console games, usually they get bored after an hour or 2 and then do something creative or play with toys, they’re all excelling in school
the few times they have had access to tablets it is like crack to them, they will just not put it down
whenever i take them out shopping or to a restaurant we are the only family that doesn’t have all the kids with headphones and tablets . i’ve seen some disturbing shit, kids on a nature walk with tablets and headphones, kids watching tiktok on their phones while on the lazy river at the waterpark. somehow i am able to take 3 kids to the supermarket by myself without screens but then i see parents with 1 kid still needing to babysit them with a tablet
i live in a more laid back city now and i have friends where i still have no idea what they do for work
no one even knows who was really in control during the previous administration. quite a few idiotic and destructive policy changes were made during that administration too
lots of parents are in the same boat as you and more willing to get together as they may not have an established group yet , as the kids get older the social groups are already established and harder to break into
