I actually AM clicking the tiny x to close the phone game ad correctly each and every time. The ad companies just got so mad that I'm perfect at tapping the tiny xs that they programmed the ad to ignore attempts to close them and just open the link to the app store anyway.

if you squint at the word trillion it looks like guillotine

Hi it would mean the world to me if you guys could share my gofundme again or donate if you are able to. It would greatly help me to get out of oklahoma soon gofund.me/f0c10f0b7

I thought that I was doing so much better at seeming approachable lately, but one of my friends had to tell people “She’s not mad! She just doesn’t make facial expressions until she has to.” 🤣🤣 Well at least I have friends that understand me

Temple researchers ran a clean experiment on this in 2017. 38 mothers taught their 2-year-olds two made-up words, "blicking" and "frepping." Same mom, same child, same words, same number of repetitions. Only difference: one teaching session got interrupted by a phone call midway. The other didn't. The kids learned the uninterrupted word. They did not learn the interrupted one. Same exposure, same parent, zero learning. The interruption alone wiped it out. The mechanism underneath is called social contingency. Babies and toddlers learn language, emotional regulation, and attachment through a rapid back-and-forth loop. You look, the parent looks back. You point, the parent names it. The brain encodes meaning by detecting that match between your signal and their response, on a timescale of seconds. A phone in your hand competes for that exact response system. When a parent's gaze flicks down at a notification, the child registers a non-response in real time. Playground studies in Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, and the US all find the same pattern. Parents on phones are slower to respond, miss weaker child signals first, and when the kid escalates to get attention back, the parent is more likely to react with irritation. The kid learns two things at once. Their signals don't reliably get a response. And when they push, the response is negative. Meta-analyses link this pattern to lower attachment security, more behavioral problems, and weaker self-regulation in early childhood. Parental response timing is the variable that drives the harm. The kid's own screen time is a separate question. The "hang it up in one place" rule is doing one specific thing mechanically. It moves the phone outside the response window. The parent's reaction time to the kid resets to baseline. Distance from the device restores the timing. That's the part Cooper is right about and most people skip. The fix is mechanical. Willpower doesn't enter the equation.

This is ONLY deaths where: -the body has been found -it was identifiable -the cause of death could be directly attributed to Israeli weapons The true death toll is in the hundreds of thousands, almost definitely in excess of half a million.
