Man… why did you have to remind me of that horrid episode…

And with no/low licensing fees.

It never goes away, only gets better. Good luck.

I am trying desperately to help my 13 year old understand the importance of how to recognize their worth, to only change for self betterment ( not for others), and that being in a relationship is not required, especially if they don’t actually want to be in one.

Parenting is quite difficult, y’all.

Is he controlling you?

Well done! I’ve been waiting to see it!

Usually is.

Devious…

You are NOT safe from Willie. He will get you SOOO high.

Again…

To add to this, be sure to wait for the immediate pushback. Stay calm, and understand that this will be a slow burner. Kindness and repeated contacts to the change minds more than one off aggressive arguments.

People have a difficult time changing their points of view, and some people can feel lots of psychological pain during that process.

That is a particular subset. There are people who see nothing g bad happening to themselves, but do have their eyes open and see the bad things happening around them. But, again, they are ready and primed.

It is much the same as addiction counseling: until people are primed to change, there is little to do but leave your hand out stretched, not pushing any further than that.

Yah. Oh boy. I don’t have any contacts there anymore: they moved further west.

Where are you, generally?

Not with authoritarians coming to power. That is a bad idea.

So clean! Can’t wait to see the finished work of art.

Using the website keeps getting more and more shitty to use. Try to not fund them, folks.

I am trying to figure out what to do and still keep my queer kids safe as well. There are no easy and straightforward answers now.

And they likely died out because they were not generalists. We have seen this in multiple hominid species, where the dentition and chewing musculature points toward very specific dietary niches, and then, they die out, because of massive changes in the environment they were living in, also change the density of their specialized food. And then, the generalists survive.

I will not buy anything Nintendo again.
