You write something insightful, and now I’m reading old nested threads like a Wikipedia binge and ❤️ing everywhere. Promise I’m not a stalker, just appreciative.

Lazy, spoiled, weird, thoughtless… the sitting still trope is such a minimization of what kids go through, what we tell ourselves, when we can’t figure out why can’t live up to everyone else.

And yup my mom kept being told she definitely wasn’t spanking me enough. Bless her forever for not caving.

I am genuinely convinced that one of the reasons it used to be thought that most people grew out of ADHD as adults was how common smoking was.

The article notes that kids who start medicine early are more likely to need more medication 4 years later in the most basic correlation/causation fail you can imagine on the subject. Maybe the reason WHY some kids needed the extra help had something to do with it?

I’m told by the highest authorities that the solution is to take these kids from their families and “re-parent” them working on “wellness farms.” Particularly Black kids, says our HHS head, so they don’t cause violence. In these centers all cellphones will be confiscated, but I’m sure it’s fine…

She was his mentee. Why do you think it is ever appropriate to abuse a position like that, married or not?

I lost quite a bit of weight without dieting by turning my excess calories to liquid and feeding them to my babies, so maybe we could do something with that to sell it to guys (but anecdotally I seem to be the exception via overproducing milk from pumping.)

I mean, no? When you try to ask it about a particular area of expertise, like law, the results are disastrous. At best, it mashes up a hodgepodge of obsolete and out-of-state answers from law firm website blogs and at worst it will straight up make things up, fake citations and all.

Gj, before I checked I was pretty sure this was going to be about underwriting and we were going to get an explanation about how financial risk assessments factor in.

Nothing is more empowering than shopping ERs for the lowest price as you're hooked to a cardiac defibrillator in the back of an ambulance.

I wonder sometimes if the ghosts I definitely don’t believe in are actually the spirits of the dead or an emanation of the locale itself, absorbing the emotions and events that transpire in it and replaying bits of memory to itself as it gradually gains a distinct rudimentary awareness along the way

I’m very in favor of YIMBYism, transit, and less restrictive zoning, even while my personal pref. is my SFH in a yard full of trees and wildflowers and getting anywhere w/in 20mins in my air conditioned car. If someone wants to build 6 story apartments down the street, bless them for providing homes
I like trees. 🌳🌳🌳 And my cottage garden 🌸🐝🦋. I like a yard where my kids can run barefoot through the sprinklers. And, I like not worrying if anyone was too loud right through a wall/floor, especially when I had babies.

Oh, that explains a list I ended up on after I did that! I’m just character-greedy and needed the space.

Is “No problem” materially different from “No trouble at all?”
