@GaltMD @SandyofCthulhu It's usually great. It's not fine dining, obviously, but their lunch specials are really good. You can get a steak meal for the price of fast food.

@SandyofCthulhu I would not expect decent food at a place such as Texas Roadhouse in the first place though I admit I’ve never eaten at one. I would be very pleasantly surprised if the steak there is at all palatable.
English
I went to Texas Roadhouse and ordered a steak medium rare. The nice waitress took her time to carefully explain what a "medium rare" steak looked like. I already knew, of course - I've been eating steak for 65 years - but I was polite and listened. She made sure I knew that a medium rare steak was red in the middle, not pink. I guess she gets customers who don't have a clue.
Anyway the steak came out and it was absolutely well-done. Not a trace of red or even pink. I cut it in half and showed it to the waitress, and she was appalled. I didn't have her take it back - my wife already had her meal and we had places to go after dinner so why delay.
So I ate my damn well-done steak, and I even tipped the waitress (I assume it was not her fault). But I haven't returned to Texas Roadhouse since.

He sent his steak back FIVE times, each time they brought him a new steak. Don't be like this person!

@SandyofCthulhu I order medium rare steak at Texas Roadhouse all the time with zero issues. You just got unlucky that day or your location just sucks.

@asymmetricinfo My dad is 6'3 and has lewey body dementia, so I empathize. He's just a few weeks away from finally getting into a really nice care facility near me and just landed himself back in the hospital one more time this week.
English
I got this from a ton of people who had no idea what would have been involved in caring for my 6’7 father, who had lost mobility, in a narrow row home with an open concept first floor. No privacy, no place to put the full time live-in help required, $300k+ a year for the help

Every time I see the "you're a terrible person if you put your parents in the nursing home" discourse I crash out bc it's one of those things that you literally don't know wtf you're talking about unless you've been in that position yourself.
English
@ThatRosaryGirl I tried one like that for a single vacation and it fucked up my wrist so bad and my toddler napped so poorly in it that I immediately donated it upon my return home. Never again.
English
You guys are gonna HATE me because after M outgrew the car seat stroller (not doona, it’s a graco) we just bought the cheapest little stroller that’s super portable and she loves it

Today’s discourse is about .. strollers … yea …
English
@happygreymom The minu is honestly my favorite of all of them. The only downside is the smaller storage space so I can't use it for big shopping trips like I can with the Vista. It's basically perfect otherwise.
English
@CCTran1996 I have the vista and gluxe. I have my eyes on the minu for our next baby lol
English
Doona: you got the first stroller you read about. Obvious ftm
Nuna: Trendy brand but it’s obvious you bought it because u think it’s what rich moms have
Uppababy: top tier brand. Luxury and you’re a hot mom
Yoyo : most likely a foreigner or u travel a lot

@_154831 @MarsRisingWork @JennyPop_person Because most latch issues don't require surgery and someone selling you a procedure to fix it might be biased and overdiagnose your kid. Most last issues just need a different breastfeeding position or something simple like that.
English
@MarsRisingWork @JennyPop_person Why not just go straight to the dentist for latch issues then
English
Lactation consultant told me to take baby to a dentist to check his latch. Well what the fuck was your job then
English
@MomKrill @peachsweet_tea Mine is a decade old and still going great. It's definitely a great investment.
English
@peachsweet_tea I have the uppababy system. I really like it. 5 years and 3 kids and it's holding strong. Carseat is still good for like 2 more years too.
English
Doona is the most over hyped, over priced stroller that’s also going to make you look like a hunch back pushing it if you’re over 5 ft

@colonizer_69 @SlumRNA_Dog Yes, I didn't buy a separate bassinet. I just used a bedside stand and that's what they used every night. My current newborn is using it right now.
English
@CCTran1996 @SlumRNA_Dog Was super nice to have all the attachments for it, the bassinet was great for the newborn stage and the car seat base made everything so easy

Nuna master race I don’t even know what that other pleb shit is

@Romy_Holland My mom adopted my older half siblings when she married my dad and you would never be able to tell which one of us 4 kids she birthed herself. Saying you have to give birth to a child to love them is BS. Plenty of shitty parents don't care for the kids they birth.
English
it’s so weird when ppl claim gay dads or moms who use surrogates etc can’t feel the right type or degree of love for their babies. every time i spend any amount of time with my friends’ babies i become incredibly enamored. i’d adopt the hell out of those babies. babies are loveable af, what are you all on about?
English
@SlumRNA_Dog Uppa goes nuts I’ll never use another bran
English
@1000HolyPlaces @clharrington024 It should be implemented earlier, not in highschool. The vast majority of high schoolers aren't going to casually become fluent but an early grade schooler could.
English
@clharrington024 This is where I am going to disagree with you. Learning languages IS, in fact, very good for the brain. It has numerous benefits. Now, I do not think any SPECIFIC language should necessarily be required, but language learning is an excellent tool for brain development.
English
Absolutely!!! Why are we STILL requiring students to take foreign language in high school when there is virtually no benefit.
Do high schoolers become fluent in the foreign language? No.
Does it have a high ROI on cognitive development and brain health? Also no.
Students’ brains would benefit more from 60 minutes of aerobic exercise than from sitting in a foreign language class.
Also, we all have translators in our pockets.
This is one of the many requirements in education whose time has expired.
Public ed must stop wasting students’ time.
Brilyn Hollyhand@BrilynHollyhand
American high schools are wrong for requiring American students to learn Spanish in order to earn advanced diplomas, while not giving those same students the option to take practical classes like electrical or wood shop.
English
@bizziemag @leah_hat Same 😭. I've used the bassinet attachment for both my babies and never needed to buy a separate one. I just stick it on the bedside stand at night. I'm very attached to it at this point.
English
@CCTran1996 @leah_hat Same with our bugaboo donkey! I’m going to be so sad when we don’t need it anymore 😢
English
these are all rich people strollers!!! out of touch with the regular people!!

@Momsplaining101 @AllieB_Hamilton Same. If you're peeking over my table and see a nip, that's on you. I have a cover in case it's super crowded or I'm getting bad vibes, but otherwise I just put he on my lap and slip her a boob. She doesn't like the cover and it just makes it more difficult.
English
@AllieB_Hamilton I don’t cover, I just wear loose fitting shirts. In the off chance someone does see something, it’s not much and they’d have to be staring at me 🤷🏼♀️
English
Yall. It’s entirely possible to breastfeed your baby/toddler and also still have some basic decency and respect for others.
English
@bizziemag @leah_hat My Vista is a decade old and I can attest to its longevity. All it needed was new wheels.
English
@leah_hat I’ve had my “rich people stroller” for over 11 years. Worth the investment.
English
@leah_hat What are normal people strollers? We have cybex? 😅
English
@LTrain5407 @leah_hat I've heard great things about that one. It looks fantastic.
English
@leah_hat I got a joie Ginger + rue. I think it's middle of the line? Idk but it's great!
English
@katerynparr @leah_hat Yep. I have 3 different Uppababy models thanks to people reselling them for cheap.
English
@cybelethebest @leah_hat Same. I paid only $350 for the whole system minus the car seat.
English
@minoremonet @leah_hat It's worth it. Mine is a decade old and on at least its third kid (I'm the second owner, so I don't know for sure) and it's still absolutely fantastic. And you can buy replacement parts like new wheels and stuff from the manufacturer.
