Yeah, I'm honestly scared for the next generation.
Everything thier peers are doing is cooking thier mental health and cognitive skills. Smart Phones, Social Media, Chatbots, and short form videos. I have banned my kid from those things, and it's made me the kill joy. To my kid, their peers, to most other parents, the only people who seem to appreciate it as a whole are the teachers.
But if you wouldn't give your kid a substance with those outcomes, then why are you letting them use a technology with them?
But the parents are also on those technologies and its hidden those realities from them. I've quit all ad supported social media because it actively manipulates you. And its very good at it, and it gives zero shits how that affects you. Its doubly destructive on teens without fully formed frontal lobes.
And I don't think the solution is banning kids from the internet. I think the solution is regulation of the practices, just because they're extra destructive for kids doesn't mean its okay for adults.
Nearly half the parents at my kids school. Everyone seems so disinterested in the kind of adult thier kid will grow up to be, especially when it inconviences them now.
People in the TPS program can't vote.
AI scrapers are the fire that consumed the library of alexandria.
He sure did use force against Occupy Wallstreet.
He sure did bail out those banks, giving them money for nothing, and they got to keep the foreclosed properties.
Is she playing the Name Game while speaking tongues? Next they'll be handling snakes.
I love how they don't rule out people who can't figure out a printed url. I certainly couldnt partner with someone who needs instructions on how to use a link.
Why wouldnt you just use a qr code?
This war is being incredibly mismanaged on every level in the US. There's no strategy, there's no objective, there's no plan.
Food quality is dropping because they didn't plan, this isn't about front line troops where there's supply line issues due to enemy actions.
This is all self inflicted. It should be a scandal of incompetence.
I think that is what angers me so much, is they mention the helpline and suddenly thier hands are clean of any responsibility.
I probably dont have the gene, but I dont feel cool for not clicking an ad. What I mostly feel is rage that the promotions are so obviously geared towards getting the potentially addicted to try it by offering $100's of free (bonus) bets.
And at the end they have the audacity to mention a helpline.
The shape of the final fruit leaves me unconvinced that its not a black raspberry.
Without leaves or an angle peering into the top from where the stem was removed, its basically impossible to confirm my suspicioms. But something in my gut says um, actually.

We made 11 jars of pickled green tomatoes and 21 jars of salsa. Jars are Pint sized (≈.5 L). Unpictured is the 4 gallons (≈16L) of blanched and frozen red tomatoes that we'll eventually turn into sauce.
This took a while. Every window in the house was fogged.
We found a recipe for pickled green tomatoes we're trying out. Let you know how it goes.
Got nearly 20 ounces, 566 grams for the more civilized.
Also some volunteer Jack-o-lantern pumpkins, I've had to pick them earlier than I wanted because a ground hog has devoured 6-7 pumpkins already.
I was given a bine (yes, that's not a typo) by my father in law.
Unsure of the variety, and unsure of what I want to do with them, brewing my own beer is a lot of work and cleaning I dont have time for.
May see if a local brewery wants them.
I tried planting edible landscaping this year, but it's been working pretty poorly. I think I need figure out a better way to communicate the expectations with pedestrians.
So far 2 Cantaloupes have been taken well before ripening, an unripe green pumpkin was taken, an unripe bell pepper was taken, and they aren't touching the ripe tomatos or strawberries. So I'm very confused.
Maybe I'm expecting them to have too high of a base knowledge of garden plants? I may just move the garden inside the fence and build a small pantry instead.
