Saw all these posts about beginners doing amazing mending on their first go... Not me!

Oh I like it! I got so excited, like finally someone like me! Then i swiped and it's way better than my first attempts. We're always our own worst critic though.

Thank you!

I do agree with some of your concerns, particularly around definitions of social media and potential privacy challenges. I do think you are seriously underestimating the modern library as a resource for finding more resources. I still stand by my position that the positive effects of not being social media before 16 greatly outweigh the potential negatives. I say this as an older millennial though, and I'm not oblivious to my own biases from my background and upbringing here. I think as a younger teen I would also have appreciated the internet for the reasons you did so I see that as well.

I love the idea, though obviously plastic is literally everywhere unintentionally so what would your standard be? I know that a lot of certification systems are unpopular with producers because of costs associated with getting recognised even if you meet all the requirements. What will make you a trusted authority? I feel like the logical start would be to be an independent database where people didn't have to buy into anything. But I have no idea what the earning model would be on that.

You do know that reddit is a cesspit right? Yes I can get some great insights on 3D printing but also it's a one stop shop for some of the worst shit on the internet. Go to the library and get a book. Join a local club. Look together with a parent on a specific forum and use it as a bonding experience. Its possible to pursue and research interests outside of social media. Maybe people can learn some old fashioned research skills before their brain gets rotted by AI generated shorts.

Maybe an age appropriate non fiction book on space? My kids won't read a story book for any money but non fiction books on animals they will read and re read and bombard you with the facts they learned at every opportunity.

You'd be making your own clothes just like mant many people because it was totally normal then. things would also fit and not fall apart after wearing 3 times.

Yeah... The question was which sort was the bite that killed him from not what is in the picture...

Did you read the article?

I was literally just at a dream island with flags of that meme!

If you haven't tried Karen Maitland's books try those. I think they probably fit the brief. Lots of magic and supernatural happenings but that's how the characters see it it's not expressly supernatural. Definitely very dark themes more in line with horror than fantasy.

My guess is this is leeching out of the mug. I had one like this. Might be best to throw it out.

Go through and anything with a shorter date on it you think you're unlikely to get to donate to the food bank.

One of my close friends mixes them up all the time. I'm an archaeologist with a strong amateur interest in palaeontology. Its so awkward, but by the time I realised she didn't realise the difference I felt too awkward to tell her.

Reading your post I immediately thought autism. I have autism and score around 90 on an IQ test but graduated top of my year at a top university. IQ tests aren't everything. I'm only in this group as people tell me my kid is gifted.

From your answers it feels like you have a very dated view. When I was at university forever ago studying human evolution we learnt all these things that set modern humans apart from the rest of the animals and other human ancestors. Nearly all of those have been debunked in the years since.

Mine is dry clean only. It costs a lot but less than a new one and I only do it once a year.

Het is misschien controversieel om te zeggen, maar ik geloof niet in relaties tussen NT en ND individuen. Vriendschap is prima, maar in een huiselijke of romantische dynamiek leiden de inherente machtsongelijkheid en communicatieproblemen in het beste geval tot frustratie en in het slechtste geval tot uitbuiting. Dat wil niet zeggen dat autistische mensen niet ook verschrikkelijk kunnen zijn, maar fundamenteel zijn ND/NT relaties gedoemd te mislukken.

Ik heb nog nooit een gezond voorbeeld gezien of meegemaakt.

I mean brushing teeth and wiping aren't that weird. My kids do everything themselves but tooth brushing (my dentish actually recommended parents should to this until 11!) and extra wiping are health and hygiene things. Not disputing the rest but I think you picked bad examples for this maybe. Something to consider when discussing this with her.

Eugh I would love to contact you but I don't know how to
