Whether there’s a net lower carbon footprint depends heavily on how much gasoline you burn

I may not know what a meme is, but I know an asshole when I see one

Who sees a moth and says “ew kill it?!” I don’t know this person

Since no one else has said it, I want to recommend “Dark.” It’s German, so subtitled unless you watch it dubbed, but oh shit what a lengthy ride

I’ve read it’s really hard to get them to flower and go to seed indoors. Godspeed!

I think you mean 5318008

Right here

I work with people experiencing homelessness, and I’ve worked inpatient psych where I saw the full gamut of socioeconomic statuses, and can confidently tell you people who attribute their depression to external factors that are out of their control universally fail in treatment. There are a ton of people on the street who aren’t depressed, and a bunch of rich people who want for nothing who are depressed. Sometimes, depression is caused by a neurotransmitter issue and meds work, but more often the issue is a pattern of thinking and perception, and the only treatment is learning new ways to think.

What do you expect others to help you with in this situation?

Both of these things can only help. Meditation also helps

That website is registered to someone in Rwanda

I was going to say this, being able to talk comfortably about that stuff is usually a sign of emotional security. It’s not your mom’s to share though

I think you’re totally right, but also don’t underestimate the average person’s willingness to tolerate being in a bad or even toxic relationship. A lot of those folks are commenting here in this thread

As a man from the United States, I’ve never heard of such things. Canada? Woman? What sorcery is this

Sir, this is the United States

That you’re equating your parents signing you up for inclusion in “Who’s Who” with being assigned to gifted classes as kid is perhaps a testament to the failures of the American education system

The idea of reading level targets is from decades of research in education and human development. It has zero to do with parents’ egos

Having someone read to you when you’re little often is a huge leg up, whether or not you even try to follow along with the words yourself

I just couldn’t disagree more, as the millennial you’re describing and the parent to an 8 year old. There’s nothing at all wrong with a participation trophy, in fact, it boosts kids’ interest and it helps them feel like they belong. Don’t think they’re not also acutely aware of losing a game, or who on the team are the most and least skilled.

At the same time, I’m of the mind that sports should be fun. Cutthroat competition sucks for kids, there’s no reason for it

Aw c’mon, no pet name for Germany?
