The better to shoot with, my dear.

Why did I read this like patch notes on a game?

The Cheat is grounded! We had that light switch installed for you so you could turn the lights on and off, not so you could throw light switch raves!

Danny Devito.

…I’m a woman.

Universally this technique has worked on every child in my family.

Oh, no, I have a prescription for ADHD medication. I’ve just always been curious about whether I’d have that experience.

I haven’t done it by now and I’m pushing 40. Don’t you worry about me.

I have pretty crippling ADHD and I always wanted to try cocaine because of all the stories of ADHD folks trying it and feeling calm and normal.

Just curious to see if I have the same experience.

My Dad died almost 20 years ago and I went NC with my abusive mother at about the same time. I never knew my grandparents.

I wanted to add my data to the set, even if it doesn’t help much.

I saw all this fuss yesterday and checked on my laptop and sure enough, mine was unchecked.

Slashdot was founded 26 years ago. I’m almost 40, so when I say this, I mean it-

Don’t condescend to young people about being children. You’re just old now. Embrace it. Explain things nicely or be one of those old people we hated when we were young.

There was almost certainly either a submarine or a castle run by a prince that burrowed through sand.

Here where I’m from in the US, you occasionally hear a “y’alls” and now I’m going to start using it as a cultural gap between your dialect and mine.

I want to redesign sphinxes to look like this.

I did not have the brain power to reply so thank you for doing it for me and all of those of us who find it too “normal” to try to answer this for the like 20th time.

I am dashing your hopes by replying! But I want to say you’ve grown up so well and have lots of stuff to be proud of. Maybe things didn’t go the way you hoped, but you did the best you could with what you had and what you knew at the time, and that makes you a good person in my book.

I also blame this for why my sense of civic duty exists, despite the obviously flawed and ofte. monstrous system I find myself in.

I think it was things like this, honestly, which shaped my sense of humor.

There’s an argument to be made that Rocko’s Modern Life was not for children, but it aired on Nickelodeon in the afternoon, so we watched it. And this is poignant as hell-

R-E-C-Y-C-L-E Recycle!
C-O-N-S-E-R-V-E Conserve!
Don’t you P-O-L-L-U-T-E. Pollute the rivers, sky, or sea. Or else you’re gonna get what you deserve

…I still sing it to myself sadly when I read the news sometimes.

You’ve gotten a ton of amazing answers but to help demonstrate the point made about there being as many opinions as they are people, I prefer my domestically submissive, sexually dominant partner. So there’s even more shades to consider.

Now I want to go do an ask pokemon on “if your house cat or dog were an eevee, what would it evolve to?”
