So there are some theories out there that kidnappers targeted Nancy because she was the mother of Savannah. People speculate that this could be because the kidnapped assumes that he could extort Savannah for a lot of $$$ or because the kidnapped was obsessed with Savannah and wanted to intervene in some way.

My question is - Americans (I'm Australian) how well known was Savannah Guthrie? Was she like a household name?

Obviously I'm asking about her fame before the kidnapping not after.

I guess it's impossible to calculate because we don't know how much merch she sold, how much accommodation and flights were etc. but I am curious if it's in the thousands, tens of thousands etc..

Hey everyone!
Our Junie baby is 6 months next week and we've booked to have her deselected next week. In Australia, for non-big dogs, 6 months is the standard. However, our really experienced doggy daycare provider has advised that in her anecdotal experience, 6 months is too young, particularly because our puppy is still quite a "puppy" in terms of her behaviour.
We're really torn and there is so much conflicting experience. From my research, I'm not at all worried about health impacts desexing at 6 months but more the behavioural impacts. She also expressed that vets desex at 6 months because that's what's always been done but new research is showing that it's not the way. She also said Australia is behind the rest of the world where apparently, 6 months is not the standard
Could I have any insight from anyone? Thank you!

I do not use AI and am not asking this question for my own personal use of AI

So one dead giveaway for AI is people having too many/few fingers and toes.
When AI first became popular - the images/ videos were all kinda hot garbage (I'm thinking about Will Smith eating spaghetti) so that made sense I guess?

However with AI images getting so advanced - why is this an issue still? What baffles me is the number of fingers and toes people have is incredibly consistent 🤣 If AI "learns" from existing media, then why can't it get this right? If 99.99% of existing images depict people with 10 fingers, why is AI freestyling?

The following pertains to instances where both parents want to be involved and there is no abuse

So the news about Pete Davidson and his partner splitting up is everywhere which I don't give a shit about. However it got me thinking - do most split up couples stick out living together for a certain period? I've never actually thought about this but logistically, split custody must be almost impossible for the really really early stage.

I wonder if anyone has experience with this? I'm curious how hard it is!

P.S: if for whatever reason my husband sees this post, I promise I'm not preempting anything, love you!

So I don't know if this is ADHD or maybe depression related but I've always REALLY struggled with task paralysis first thing in the morning. I go to sleep having a clear idea of the right things to do the following morning but then in the morning none of those things feel... right. It's been exacerbated recently being unemployed.

Also recently, I've gotten a puppy and taking her for a walk first thing has helped A LOT. I don't know if it's the change of scenery or maybe just having a bit of an anchor but I'm wonder

Today I was walking around Burwood Westfield when I noticed what I thought was a mother holding a bottle of apple juice in front of her stood-up toddler. To my shock, I realised that this mother was letting her toddler son piss into an empty water bottle in an extremely busy thoroughfare. Parents please chime in but... that is crazy right? I would think that even if your kid is able to warn you they need to pee, if they really can't make it to a bathroom, they should still be in nappies right?

Is this something that is maybe more accepted in other cultures? I'm genuinely asking

I don't consider myself a Karen or anything - I totally understand a kid peeing in a bush or even the beach if toilets aren't nearby..

ETA: No I'm not a parent which is why I'm GENUINELY asking for other people's perspective. My best friend was with me and we both were like "I don't think this is cool but we're not parents so who can we say"

I'm finding elements of schema therapy that have been incorporated into my talk therapy really helpful. However, I've noticed that a seemingly significant part of the approach involved analysing your childhood to see where things stem from and what traumas might have led to where you are no etc.

Am I the only one who not only doesn't have any trauma but didn't even have that bad of a childhood? If you are, do you ignore thee parts of the therapy or do you try go digging hahahha

Thank you!
