yeah, i get that worry. there’s a lot of great stuff for all ages on youtube but lately the ads feel increasingly active and punishing.

hot damn!
ah amazing - good on you and well done!
much respect - that's the deal. treat them no less than you would treat royalty 😂
I used to be anti-paw patrol but I've softened on that over time. It's a bit soulless, but it's not too bad. my daughter loves the catchphrases and frankly, the repetitiveness is part of the fun for her.
Show that I have loved:
super simple songs - aimed at cocomelon-age but it's got a very high quality production, really lovely varying different video styles, much better music and songs, and in general much better everything. would recommend it over cocomelon any day.
mr men - there's a 'newer' version of the show which is really quite good
pink panther - the old shows hold up surprisingly well but there's a set of newer cartoons that are great fun too
spidey and amazing friends - my daughter is now the biggest spiderman fan because of it and i've found she also enjoys watching clips from the MCU/spiderverse films with me because of it. 10/10 recommended.
om nom & stories - bit weird how i remember this as the 'cut the rope game character' but as far as animation goes it's really high quality.
super wings - relaly high quality animated show. like absurdly well rendered and exciting.
airport diaries - as an adult, it's a bit odd. the stories are like half-formed and the animation and everything a bit janky. but my daughter is obsessed by talking planes at an airport so she loves it and i guess that's what matters.
i'm sure there's more but that's a solid list.
I've always wanted to carry around a spare change of clothes for myself just in case I get someone else's pee on them :D
i’m sure you mean this seriously, it just tickles me.
i was literally just thinking - the cars are driving on the left and the arrows are all driving on the right 😂

microsoft surface pen is my touchstone for this. the only way i could get new batteries was online and the pen lasted for so long if i bought a pack of 4 batteries i’d have lost the other two but the time they ran or so id need to but a whole new pack.
you make an interesting point and it reminds me of a counter point: that modern wars might have higher death tolls than historical wars, but modern wars - with modern weapons - end up costing less life overall compared to the populations of the time.
for tribal conflict of humans past, victory could mean wiping out the other tribe - 50% death toll or higher. as weapons advanced and more efficient and more destructive tactics emerged, wars can be more violent and more deadly but shorter and with fewer deaths compared to the overall population. wars became efficient.
all this is to say that if we didn’t have modern weapons there would be more killing - not less. “victory” would necessitate more deaths.
i’m not really sure how this is unfair. protesting can mean running up against laws and breaking them. the question is whether the cause you’re protesting for means enough to you to accept that.
