We already tried that. It didn’t have the best results. :/

Am I a small minority who thinks smoking weed will be similar to smoking tobacco in 30 years

There are plenty of things America has done wrong but it’s a straw-man to say it’s only been bad. The Marshal plan is a clear example of America doing a clearly good thing even. Just cuz it’s a mess right now doesn’t mean it is always the case

No I believe in free speech no matter what tragedy of tolerance be damned.

The Swiss Family Robinson. My father read me a chapter each night & it was one of my fondest memories.

Dog walking or other skill based teaching/tasks. You might need some small things like poop bags or something else. In the past I did dog walking & that is easy to start. Then I expanded to helping train & other tasks around taking care of dogs. That’s just what I did but you can choose something else you like such as music lessons.

I’m just worried if I switch the effort of starting back up will be too much & it will be easier to just stop going. Is this normal to feel this way?

Can I ask how you managed to get started with getting help? I feel like it’s such a massive hill to get over to start.

I started seeing a therapist a month. I’ve never really talk about how I feel & don’t understand what to say when we meet. I feel like I’m wasting time each session. Everyone says they help but I don’t even understand how.

I can assure you some pants were shit on that flight

I think there is some more nuance here then all restocking fees are bad. For some businesses that sell items that are custom made or have so many varieties that they are practically custom parts. So when an item like this is returned it can’t be sold at the same amount & storing the item until it sells has a cost. So to encourage customers to be certain of their orders a restock fee is used on some items to stop customers from ordering testing then returning what they don’t like.

If you bring up Amazon’s restocking fee your right those guys are assholes who try to squeeze as much cash out of everyone.

This comment was present while sipping out of the gold skull goblet of Cassius.

Read with a real book if possible . If you sleep by yourself you can be quiet with just a small light. Either I get lost in the story then can sleep or it gets so boring sleep seems better then forcing myself to read another word.

I believe free will exists but the world is deterministic. In your life you can make any choice you want & it was decided by you. However the effect of your actions on the world is so small that it will continue on a predetermined path. Events in the future are “predetermined” & all I have power over is how I react to it.

Either one. Boxed is faster but real tastes better

Mashed potatoes is my thickener of choice. Add it to any soup/chili recipe to make you feel full without spending a lot.

A single molecule of water is not wet but as soon as more then one molecule is present the water is then wet. That is my hill to die on in this argument.

Idk I think it’s explained by different phenomena. In nature there are two child raising strategies, K & P types (might be different letters sue me). For fully K type parents they produce 1000s of children each reproduction cycle, release them into nature & let statics be the cruel parent to have a few reach adulthood. For fully P type parents they will have just a single child each reproductive cycle, & raise them to maturity. Obviously this is a scale & all animals lie somewhere in-between these two extremes.

Obviously all humans are closer to P type but someone in a poorer region is more likely to live in a less stable region. As such they will follow a more K type parenting style since there is a higher chance of something bad happening to their children resulting in a “waste of evolutionary resources” (no life is a waste but you get the point). In a wealthier region they are more likely to live in a more stable area. As such they will choose to follow a P type parenting style & put a lot of resources into a few children. Since there is a high likelihood of all of their children making it to maturity a few “high value” children is preferred to many “low value” children (nobody is really more valuable bla bla). So rich region parents act more like P type parent & poor region parents act more like K type parents. (Obviously there are more factors but I think this probably has the biggest effect)

Then for people who are struggling & can’t afford to produce one “high value” child they make a logical choice to do it later when they have more resources. Since humans are complicated they can create other values they see are more valuable then children or decide to do something later until having children is no longer a possibility. Either way it results in less children & we are seeing the results on a global scale. (Post note. Obviously I am skipping over the cultural factors like religion & other individuals factors, but on a macro scale people are making these choices unwittingly)

Honestly great I got to bike till my legs were sore & saw an amazing sunset

That’s what story books are for they exist to explain that there is evil in the world & not all people can be trusted. Red Riding Hood teaches stranger danger, & other traditional stories teach other lessons. Just because these stories aren’t real doesn’t mean the lessons they hold are less valuable. Tell them a fairytale & explain how people in the real world can be a wolf but you may not see their fur or fangs. The fairytale elements allow a child to learn & they can apply the lessons when they face a situation that reminds them of the fairytale.
