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.

They are. But what's the alternative? The elderly person who doesn't know who you are dies their slow, maybe 10 year death in your living room when you don't have the support you need to care for them? It's either awful for the elderly person or awful for everyone.

Source: we can't stomach putting granny in one of those so she lives with us, and I wipe her butt every day. I feel suicidal, and she feels.. idk. Because the dementia is too bad for her to really tell me. We can't put her in one because we know she'll be abused, but I genuinely can't and don't judge anyone who drops their family member off and walks away.

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?

And I think also shared what food he had. Yeah, the kid was under prepared for sure, but apparently he had studied the food sources and terrain somewhat. He got unlucky. Not being prepared for unlucky is very very dumb. But most people I hear mad about this think he was zero prepared

Idk what the ulterior motive is, but if your goal is to protect children this is like the third or fourth least damaging porn of all. Like ban all other fetishes first

Yeah, I read that hypothetically consuming the plant (which resembled a nontoxic look alike) could have made it so he was too weak to scavenge what he needed to survive. He could have survived otherwise. He was certainly gambling with his life being out there alone, but I read the claims of him being totally unprepared were exaggerated.

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
