What an ignorant comment. There's evidence to suggest walking attachment devices for young children were used way back in the 17th century. It's possible that similar things were used earlier than that too. An early version of the modern one we are all familiar with now, started selling in the 1920s. Incidentally, use of it skyrocketed as more and more cars, faster cars and busier roads spread across the modern world.

And another thing, use of these leashes is common for parents of kids with disabilities. I have to use one with my son because his learning difficulties mean that he doesn't understand danger and if he gets frightened/overwhelmed he will often run away in a panic.

I don't like using it but I would rather have my disabled son safe and alive than not use it, and judgemental attitudes like this are the reason that I have to put up with unsolicited, nasty comments when I take him out in public; when I'm already dealing with the stress of keeping a child with extra supervisory needs safe and well.

I don't watch these myself, but I have a friend with dyslexia who enjoys them because she struggles with reading for long. She says that an actual human reading them and chatting about the content is more entertaining than the robotic text-to-speech aids she uses for other things.

Hey there! Absolutely love the idea for this game. I applied for the last Beta wave but didn't get through, am I able to apply again for the new wave?

All the time! I studied Latin and Classical History for years so it’s a deep interest of mine. I often reminisce about the trip I took to Italy with my Latin class to visit Pompeii and Herculaneum.

This is so wholesome. I love finding hand made knitted/crocheted items for my toddler when I’m shopping second hand. I always like to think that their creator would be happy to know that they’ve kept another little one looking cool and keeping warm ‘n cosy with their labour of love. :)

I’m listening now and enjoying it! I feel like these would be a great soundtrack for an indie game :)

I challenged myself one night to record myself improvising on my piano, after a few glasses of wine. I ended up lost in some kind of trance pouring my heart out into the keys. I’ve never been quite able to recreate it again.

I still enjoy listening to it from time to time, it’s a shame I had let a friend borrow my studio mic and just had my phone to record with at the time. Although perhaps the grainy phone recording quality is what adds to the timbre of it.

It’s my understanding that the attack compromised an already active, authenticated session, which would get around 2FA.

Bruh you still shed skin cells and oils, and bacteria that lives on your body will be multiplying like crazy all over your bed.
