As a dad with a four, three, and two year old, I’m in full support of this.
I don’t remember elf on the shelf as a kid.
The whole concept is creepy and I’m comfortable teaching my kiddos to be good to impress Santa - whose existence is on par with spider-man, superman, etc. - so he’d WANT to give them presents, for being good humans.
But I fully admit i still don’t know what I’m doing 95% of the time as a parent…
EDIT: by “in full support of this” I mean abandoning the practice of elf on the shelf, not bounding and hooding said elf
Even better as a dad, paying the measly $5/mo for PBS passport, so I can stumble upon worthwhile content (Nature, American Experience, This Old House before they shifted to separate subscription, random local gems like Arizona Stories, etc…) while also seeing my kiddos enjoy PBS kids (free BTW)
My boss just did this, for a good reason as her partner unexpected and prematurely went into labour, but it did get me wondering in what other situation this is an acceptable thing to do
i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.
Traveling for business and got this delivered via grub hub. Total shot in the dark as to whether it was going to be any good or not. Can honestly say its the best fried chicken I’ve ever eaten. Sunday sighs of contentment.

I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit.
