I’m in a city and people are “protein maxing” and “fiber maxing” so yes people know about fiber. Unfortunately the micronutrients are missing because instead of eating stuff like beans and whole grains that have good amounts of both, the are eating highly processed foods without other nutrients because they have lower calories, and lower carbs, and lower everything else.

Reliability, patience, kindness, interest.

Previously, many fathers didn’t even change diapers. Reliably being there for your kid day after day, from diapers to little league games, are all important.

Patience because kids try new things in a new world they are still figuring out, and to you it might seem intentionally pushing buttons but they are literally new.

Kindness, because while you are dealing with them having a rough day causing you to have a rough day, you need to be kind to both yourself for getting frustrated and them. Life is rough, we don’t need to make it moreso for anyone.

Interest, because no one should feel like no one is on their side, like no one understands them. Encourage them for things they are interested. Be interested in what they have to say even when they are just telling you they saw a rock, because they just learned what a rock is. They will keep going to you and tell you all the things they are doing later in life too, and you will have a better overall relationship.

Mealworms, for chickens, get a 10lb bag if you can, few other animals will go for them and crows love them. Unsalted peanuts in the shell because they like to break them open, but other animals will go after them too.

I’d remind them that, in the US, most senior citizens go through all their savings until they have almost nothing and the government can sometimes help them survive until they die or other family helps pay for their end of life care. Even if someone seems well off doesn’t mean they will be able to support anyone else past their end of life. The US economy is set up to drain people’s money. Your child will still likely need to work, especially if they want government assistance in their older years themselves (which they will need if they aren’t planning on being able to make enough to support themselves).

Sounds like you haven’t met many Jews

I prefer one that could hold a mattress about 16in up (with or without board under, i can get a board separate). Do you have a suggestion for one that won’t Creek? The reviews for the ones I’ve found say many have thin metal or the joints with screws aren’t well done and they warp or creek so I’m not sure what to look at

We just tried getting an IKEA mattress and it was NOTHING like the one in store. IKEA is great for furniture I’m on with my toddler smearing banana on though

I don’t think my spouse toddler and self will all fit into a twin xl lol

Shit. I did it wrong. I married someone with way less than me. Although my job doesn’t pay well because I also choose that based on enjoyment…

We are spending our money, after taxes, on things taxes should be paying for, so we are paying twice? No, because the things our taxes are being paid for are oligarchs to be richer. Why were we still paying taxes if they aren’t primarily benefitting the population? We don’t have a government for the people by the people. We have propaganda keeping oligarchs in power of a corporatocracy.

Oh god, not CHALK!!

I’m guilty of this

THE CAKE WAS NOT A LIE!!!

Yes. Because i find them attractive.

Where are you?

Yes, but that’s not the reason why

I honestly kinda appreciate it. It’s nice to be reminded that there is some place for acceptance, even if only for capitalism, and it does seem to spread further through society than other months. It still sucks that there are also people who loudly state that it’s intrusive into their normal cis-het-white-male centered universe.

If you are an introvert, ask your extroverted sibling to pick and dry some from their friend’s parent’s plants. Then go to the park and smoke it after school. Keep it with a pipe and grinder in a water tight no-spill thermos (keeps smell in and keeps it fresh).

Off with their head if they speak against the king!

I’m not sure what kind of infidelity happens in high school, but I suspect if someone cheated on me by kissing someone else while we were in high school, I wouldn’t be upset, mostly because the nature of relationships in high school I don’t think of as long lasting. I’ve never cheated nor been cheated on though.
