I'm in healthcare, and often work with children. It doesn't matter if they do or don't understand something, they don't have the emotional regulation to continue with something uncomfortable.
I don't blame parents wanting to increase the sleepiness of a child prior to something like a long plane trip.
8+ is the age I see the majority of children being able to grin and bear it, and to be reasoned with.
They did something similar with some transformers here in Australia, and unfortunately there were some possibly associated traffic incidents where people might have not been going the right speed and got rear-ended. One man died, even.
Please avoid the route, even when it is pulled over to "rest", as your fellow motorists may not be able to resist rubbernecking.
The bit about not being able to go outside is because people were using it as a pretext to explain why they weren't at home... when really they were off socialising and increasing possible infection points.
It's why they closed children's playgrounds here in Australia, parents were using their children playing to gather around, then held empty coffee cups to explain why their masks were off. I've never seen so many people desperately swigging at water bottles in a supermarket in my life, or young men clutching at low dose asthma inhalers either. Somewhat amusingly, none of these behaviours have shown up since.
If people could have shown any level of responsibility... but there we have it, don't we? They can't see beyond the end of their own nose, and this is why we are here, finding out.
My risk analysis prior was that it wasn't worth it. That has since changed.
Retirement plan for me is dead by 60, because climate change will have made living an absolute misery.
This is why I now have a motorcycle.
Used to be able to get $1 cheeseburgers. The loose change menu was a huge thing here, you could actually wander in with some coins and walk out with some food.
At $1 a burger, in less than 3 minutes, that's way cheaper, "tastier" (subjective), faster, and no cleaning up, than having a pot of lentil curry.
Sometimes there's just something that seems wrong. Why did the man turn back? Why did he then claim someone had called out to him? The OP felt something was off and acted on it.
I have absolutely encountered way more smug meat eaters than vegans or vegetarians... They go out of their way to make sexual jokes about forcing some sausage down people's throats, too.
Iirc the increase in people driving instead of flying due to 911, lead to more accidents and deaths. :(
Think op means the steam deck, not switch.
In Australia there are apps that show cheapest prices near you, so at least there's not too much time and effort involved.
Sounds like it shouldn't be considered legal for onroad use there. :/
