All the kids of wealthy parents that I know are a mess. Their parents neglected them to pursue wealth. :[

It takes a village, but more than that. In my experience (mostly speaking of my friends) rather well-adjusted people had significant influence from multiple adults living in their home: grandparents, aunts and uncles, roommates, family friends. They also tended to be involved with community things like sports and arts where they’d get close mentorship from other adults not in the home.

Though, everyone I’ve known who had a professional caretaker (nanny, etc.) is a hot mess. So it’s more about having multiple people who care for you properly, not just more caretakers = better

I know a fair few kids of single parents who also kick ass, but most of them have some trauma too.

US culture is pushing that living with family is a sign of laziness/poverty and the opposite of success, when that couldn’t be further from the truth. Individualism is killing us.

Ideally children should be raised by more than two people.

it would work better as a fairytale, has more of that kinda vibe

i probably would in that situation, if I were a sloth

“just the time and date and some cells in my hair follicles”

just remember a falling knife has no handle :]

heheh YEET

apparently our ability to throw things somewhat accurately is impressive

if i ever meet one in all of those categories I will propose to her on the spot

I’m a lesbian and can speak for many (obvs not all) lesbians that we just want people to be chill

you’re allowed to talk to lesbians lol

I spent hours one afternoon as a kid trying to figure it out. After a few hours my right (dominant) hand was completely wrecked, but I was so frustrated I just switched to the left hand and kept trying. Eventually I got a passable snapping sound and ran to my mom sobbing with joy to demonstrate the saddest sounding snap. She noticed my hands were shaking and made me sit down and hold them on ice packs, lol.

I’m 29 now and still can’t snap with my dominant hand for shit but my left hand snap sounds decent.

that’s increasing the amount of allergenic proteins but it is more protein overall lol

every fake wing is a 🅱️oneless wing

they figure out how to federate with usenet and we’ll have a nerd apocalypse

I’m a flavor chemistry nerd and you had me up to REEEEEE levels in the first half ngl

those are awesome and they definitely count as programming socks 11/10

Yes, even if sifted out they leave behind particles of their body and feces that have allergenic proteins

My allergy to grain beetles went from bad to dangerous while I was working at an industrial bakery, so I’m on a crusade to tell everyone about this little known hazard lol

Be sure to keep the flour as cold and dry as possible. Refrigerate or freeze if possible. You can sift out grain beetles and larva, but they’re very allergenic and the more exposure you get to them the higher the chance you’ll develop a severe allergy.

what about striped ankle socks 😂
