Also, you have to know what a better way to handle a situation is. If someone’s the type of person who hits a kid for misbehavior, maybe they don’t know how to do better.
My husband and I are in our mid thirties, and are actively holding off on kids until we feel like we’ve gotten better at managing our emotions. Our parents had kids much earlier, and ended up exercising their emotional dysfunction on small children
Oh, that’s awful, but it explains the confusion. Thanks
I thought people were dying from infected milk? Is that not H5N2?
Basically
I could spring from my ankles, but getting my knees involved made me mess up the timing and I got no lift.
I used to be unable to jump, but then I did Morris dancing. I learned how to jump normally at 27.
He’s… made out of meat?
One of them seems to be the size of a medium sized dog, at least
He also had a bit of a chip on his shoulder about it, to be fair.
He was Austrian in Germany and those are both very stereotypically Austrian names.
I was on a third date, and we met an acquaintance of mine. I went to introduce them and blanked. Worse, I went for what I thought I remembered, which ended up close enough to be culturally insensitive. His name was Franz and I said Fritz and he was pretty hurt.
But, like, what would happen to your house?
REDWOODS ARE BRASSICA??? I feel very dumb, but I’m glad I checked before posting
I do fear saws with chains
I’m a type-A personality with ADHD.
The day I discovered that I could make the Mac and cheese sauce and put it all over the kale I got from my farm share, was the day I stopped trying to pretend to be healthy.
I think the problem is (ironically) exacerbated by lacking better language to describe things. Einstein was trying to describe the world, not come up with something new. I think that does involve “creativity,” but I’d argue that it’s not the same impulse.
Children absolutely come up with things that don’t seem to have any relation to what they’ve experienced, but it’s not useful creativity, like what Einstein possessed.
This comment somehow feels insulting to both Einstein and children, but I don’t mean it like that.
It’s not a bad thing to allow members to all communicate with everyone. If I joined a discord server and didn’t have permission to participate immediately (or after filling out the survey/age verification/etc.), I’d leave. If I was that shameless a streamer, I’d lie on the survey.
I read it like that too, and wish I hadn’t, but I was mostly joking. People in this thread should be more prepared than I was from the context anyway
We’re doing all sorts of things to get better at it 😊
