Youtube is bad bad bad. If it's not influencers just aiming for clicks while kinda being a little right-wing-Nazi (like Pewdiepie), it's the influence of a LOT of money being spent strategically to brainwash your kids.

Conservatives use youtube to radicalize kids (Prager U is the most obvious funded effort).
So does the far right, and Nazis.
So do Muslim extremists.
The Russians spend money on Youtube to propagandize us and kids.
The Chinese spend money on Youtube to propagandize us and kids.
The Epoch Times, the Babylon Bee, Prager U, Jordan Peterson - it's cults and crazies ALL over Youtube.
The Boston bomber was radicalized on Youtube (perhaps with help from the Russians).
Many of the recent young white neo-Nazi types (Dylan Roof, the Montreal kid who watched and loved Peterson and Ben Shapiro) got some radicalization on youtube.

Youtube is basically a cancer on our society. And Google and Susan Wojciecki don't care. Because they're making big money. At our expense.

Me too and it made me realize my odor has changed, due to aging or stress?

I’m fine being home with my kids. It’s DH I’m going to have a problem with, even though we have a good, strong marriage. Or we did.

I am seen as the optimistic upbeat one among my colleagues and team at work, keeping everyone motivated, but inside I am scared about what this is going to do to my teen son. We are a two person household. He needs more human interaction than just me, and I work in health care( not in any clinical care) and am totally slammed with work. Silently freaking out.

I haven't plucked my chin hairs in 3 or 4 days.

But i did have him pick up beer and wine for a good while. Takes the edge off his worry. In moderation.

I stopped wearing deodorant.

Ha HA HA... life's revenge for having 4 kids. Better call your nanny and have her come back to raise your kids since you cannot do it easily.

Put them on ipads. You won't hear from them until they realize they missed lunch by 3 hours and are starving

You should look up “shower beer”. So efficient!

OP here.

Today I had the tv on ALL day.
Wearing the same thing I wore yesterday (and slept in last night).
Probably did an hour of actual work at MOST today.

I feel so guilty for not doing much at all. They're paying me for this. It's NUTS.
