Right but imagine that 10 year old has the ability and permission to beat you to feel powerful. That he's wearing the patch specifically to scare you. That is scary. Psychopaths are scary, and the fact that they don't feel the need to be professional enough to not wear these patches that mean I am here because I want to kill you is scary, whether the patch design is moronic or not.

Yeah, I love the clones, it's like bonus levels

I was thinking about letting a cis girl get breast augmentation in my comment, so i wasn't really worried about her being disappointed, more that her motivation for body modification is bullying. Kids are really mean, and unformed brains (and formed ones!) Have a hard time seeing past that into even just 4 years in the future.

I don't think I understand your comment though, people can have whatever tits they want at 21? I'm talking about 15 year olds.

Yeah, it's nuts. I'm one of 15 grand kids, and me and my 3 sisters are the only ones who do anything for her. No one's doing well enough to really help, so asking just feels like I'll lose the relationships and still not get any help. There's definitely resentment building though

My brother has been off his medication while unemployed / interviewing / first 90 days of his new job until his insurance kicks in. Breaks my heart to hear him describe how hard it is to know he's intelligent, but everyone at his new job genuinely believes he's dumb. Kid has an IQ of 141, but without ADHD meds is barely scraping by at his office.

I'm sure this is an inappropriate question, but out of curiosity, are you a man or a woman?

I'm just always curious with this because women are typically diagnosed later or not at all because women figure out masking earlier and better.

I wonder if it's purely self preservation on the part of women or if women are more explicit in social rules with one another?

I quit for about a year and a half and by the end just thought I was stupid due to aging/ motherhood. Then one day I accidentally consumed like 2 cups worth (migraine meds have a ton of caffeine!) And I was a super hero that day. I got so much done! I could actually do puzzles again! My brain worked! Then I checked the medicine bottle and was like... oh.

Anyway, I'm diagnosed with ADHD now and realized I've been self medicating with caffeine since high school. I'll never go off it again unless I get actually medicated. I also drink a ton of decaf because I just love drinking coffee

Yes! I have my real ring that I took off when I got pregnant and my fingers got fat, once the baby was 6mo I put it back on. My husband had to take his off for work a lot since the metal is a conductor, so i got him a silicone one. I liked his so much i got myself one and wear that full time. It's better for playing with the child.

That's true for elementary math, but as soon as order of operations comes in a calculator can only do so much of the work. Maybe that's the compromise? Teaching kids the "correct" way to utilize chat? I have no idea. I'm just gonna teach my kids that if they don't use chat they're going to end up much more valuable in the long run because they can think for themselves

I think this is partially true. One problem is that when your classmates cheat, your average hard work performance is no longer competitive.

A lot of my classmates used to cheat on French quizzes. I knew the words, usually, but would get like 30% because missing an accent would mark the whole sentence as incorrect. If no one cheated and more of the class earned 30%s the teacher would have realized she needed to either teach differently or give partial credit if you just missed an accent. Instead, it just looked like I was dumb, cause everyone else was getting it.

I think it's like that with AI. if everyone else is finishing quickly, you have to start using it to remain competitive, regardless of whether you originally wanted to learn. These are kids, and they can't understand the opportunity they have yet. They just don't have the life experience to calmly decide to give themselves a huge disadvantage current day for a hypothetical advantage in the unpromised future.

It's cause college is an investment, right? Like it's too expensive to take classes for a hobby or because you just want to

I went to school for cellular biology with every intention to be a stay at home mom. Cellular biology is just interesting and fun. Chemistry is interesting but I never would have taken it if it weren't a requirement.
