Chunk of the founders ousted and a dev team resentful about getting screwed. Think we got ourselves another Concord on our hands.

I mean if it’s literally 500 vs 50, maybe whomever was updating the website reporting the votes probably typo’ed and hit enter before they hit the last zero.

Does the school do a sex ed course for him? Between that and Internet access he should be able to figure out the basics if you really don’t want to broach the subject with him.

I heard it had a lot of issues during testing but I didn’t personally have any issues with it having played it the first time 4 years ago nor have I heard of any widespread game breaking bugs. Might just be your particular system :o

I feel that, looks like they might taste like one of those carnival lollipops :>

Okay, so I posted initially to correct your false statement that:

Children were never eating tide pods either.

What you said was demonstrably false.

You then tried to walk that back by saying those ingestions were unintentional and posted a link to a consumer reports article about adults with dementia eating tide pods.

Now you are following it up by implying it applies to cognitively delayed teenagers.

Are you saying that your initial statement about children never eating tide pods is true based on this?

Because there are actual videos of (probably) non-cognitively delayed teenagers doing this.

I don’t understand why you’ve chosen this hill to die on. Is this one of those things where you’re so sure you’re right you can’t admit you were wrong? :o

Title of your link:

Liquid Laundry Detergent Pods Pose Lethal Risk for Adults With Dementia

For all those teenagers with dementia XD

How does one unintentionally eat a tide pod? So you tell the guy when you’re checking in at the ER “Homie and I were just playing catch with a tide pod and I was yelling at cousin Mabel to get off the dang roof and it just dropped into my mouth and I swallowed. It was a one in a million shot doc. One in a million.”

More likely they did it intentionally and didn’t want to admit to it to avoid embarrassment. That or one of their dumb buddies thought it’d be funny based on some Tiktok they saw so they dropped one into someone’s bowl of Doritos.

Either way all I was doing was correcting a false statement you made about children never eating tide pods. Because they surely did.

Children were never eating tide pods either

Yes they were. Because some people really are that dumb.

The same year, nearly 220 teens were reportedly exposed, and about 25 percent of those cases were intentional, according to data from the American Association of Poison Control Centers.

So far in 2018, there have been 37 reported cases among teenagers — half of them intentional, according to the data.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2018/01/13/teens-are-daring-each-other-to-eat-tide-pods-we-dont-need-to-tell-you-thats-a-bad-idea/

And that’s just reported numbers for teenagers. I can almost guarantee you the number of idiots that ate one and didn’t know how to call poison control is much higher.

If your “job” is to convince brainless zoomers to eat tide pods or convince them to try DIY plastic surgery with hammers, maybe burning out isn’t a bad thing. Maybe we’re just seeing nature healing itself.

Hmmm publisher gutting original creative team from a highly anticipated sequel. This always ends well.

The music in the SNES Megaman X series is magic.

Urgh, every sale season I see people that don’t know any better post sales for Disco Elysium and I’m obligated to encourage people to pirate it instead

Wishing the best for your health! You’re an absolute treasure of the fediverse! ❤️

It’s not that you’re specifically embarrassing but your presence probably works against an image he’s trying to cultivate with his friends. Kids at this age are probably more looking to find approval from their peers. One of the ways they do that is by demonstrating independence which is “mature” and cool.

Having Mom hovering around constantly reminding him and his friends that he is in fact not independent yet, while true, is probably the last thing he wants, so his seeking to minimize your presence when his friends are over is pretty normal.

He probably thinks you’re a cool Mom but he’s trying to build a reputation for independence with his friends and your presence works against that. If you want to be really cool in his eyes, don’t even bring them snacks. Let your son know where he can get them and let him bring them to his friends himself and learn how to be a good host.

The only dynamic I found a bit off is that he specifically wanted you to confine yourself to your room. It’s still your house and the fact that he thinks he should be able to restrict yourself like that probably isn’t the healthiest idea for him to cultivate. Just do your own thing you’d normally do at the house and don’t specifically intrude on their interactions unless they initiate.

Think you forgot to post the link bro :>
