Once I did a single small inhale off a dab and missed all of friendsgiving sick in bed. Also once I took a hit off a friend’s vape and had to Uber home from the halloween party cause too high. Would much rather use an old joint where you kind of know where you are and can build more slowly

I agree, but does suck for upper middle class kids who’s parents suck. My parents were poor so I was eligible for all kinds of scholarships/aid. My hs boyfriend’s dad was well off enough that he qualified for zero aid even though his dad wasn’t interested in supporting him financially at all.
He ended up with much higher student loans than me, though we received equal financial support from our parents.
Our mindsets around money were different though so maybe it evens out? He wasn’t afraid of debt, took out loans for everything, became an engineer, does ok. I got a full ride, worked three jobs to cover room and board, ended up overwhelmed and depressed and dropped out. Eventually got my AA at community college. Still have like 7k in student loans a decade later with no real degree.
Where do you draw the line? Not being combative, just curious. Like my toddler should not have bodily autonomy. I don’t think a 5 year old would handle that responsibility well either. At what age do you get it, or does it increase gradually?
I try to let my toddler choose who they hug, or let them pick their clothes when I can, but they are very dumb. They don’t understand the consequences of not wearing shoes, or insisting on a jacket on a hot day. They should have little to no autonomy over their diet or it would just be 15 bananas and constant constipation.
I am ON BOARD for discontinuing the barbaric genital mutilation that is the norm in my country, but do you let a teen get a breast augmentation or a nose job just because their high school peers are bullies? Your teen’s (and young adult’s) brain isn’t done cooking. Where’s the line for body modification expression? Even just evidence of ear piercings don’t go away fully for decades.
What are the basic rights kids and teens should have? (And sorry to hear you live in a community where physical abuse is normalized)
I touch hand rails. And i never wash my hands immediately upon entering my home unless I’ve just been shopping. I don’t get sick almost ever. Is the idea that this prevents you from getting sick or just that it helps you not to feel gross?
Of course 2 years ago I had a child, I touch as little as possible in public, I wash my hands constantly while out and at home. I am sick all the time. The child doesn’t go to daycare and we don’t go to church but we’re all sick several times a year.
No, at least for some people they can control it. I told my loud sneezing husband who "couldn’t help it " if his sneeze woke the child, the child was his responsibility alone to care for and he found a way to sneeze normally.
Obviously drinking lowers your inhibitions so it’s a social lubricant from that, but I always liked how drinking/ weed are also a helpful gauge of how long people plan to be around. Are they getting drunk? They plan to stay a while. One more beer? 20 minutes to half an hour more of socializing at least. They’ve switched to water? Not the time to suggest starting a game or to get into a deep conversation.
Yeah this game is definitely better if you’re totally burned out/ depressed, cause then the handholding is kind of nice. Plus the main island is kind of sandboxy to create your real home/ base since you basically have very little autonomy in the main quests, and you don’t get that in the first one. I feel like my whole life is so many decisions and I’m too tired to actually do hobbies or game, but I can do a cute game like builders with no brain, just mindless fun.
I feel the same way that it’s like if Minecraft came with a Lego manual and all you’re doing is following it.
Do you like Lego? Do you like following a kit, or do you want to build how you want without instructions?
