-.- you’ve just described a significant portion of my home remodeling….

I think I need to learn new skills…
I’m slightly upset the person is not named Joan. Joan’s bones sounds a lot better than Jon’s bones.
Women/female bodies basically stop growing entirely about 2 years after menarche (first period), regardless when that hits. And once menarche hits they only grow another 1-3 inches, typically.
For some girls, myself included, menarche was around 9 years old (the historical normal age of menarche was around 15 years, as far as we can tell, and that age has been going down in modern history) meaning I didn’t really get a chance to grow before my body stopped being able to do so. I have not grown since I was 12. Had I been able to delay puberty by a few years, I may have ended up average instead of 2 standard deviations below average. On the plus side I can wear kids stuff sometimes.
Male puberty doesn’t work that way quite as dramatically, since puberty includes growth spurts through the early-mid 20s, but eventual adult height for men is still based on the height they are when the growth spurts start.
Here’s a really surface level resource that explains further about female puberty if you are interested in learning more.

Despite being cis myself, I wish I had the option to delay my puberty a couple years. I stopped growing at 12, and am very short. Even another 2 inches would have only put me in the “almost average” category.
It’s something that doesn’t harm anyone and allows kids to choose another aspect of who they want to be as adults. I’m here for it.
Street dealing is desperation, a symptom, almost always socially inflicted.
If telegram is keeping the streets clean, that says a lot about the society in which it functions.
:)
(Every country has its own illicit market, it’s just where that takes place and what is restricted that matters… no legislation is ever going to rid the illicit market. Ever. It exists for a reason, whatever reason. Just make the majority of it (self-harm drugs and the like) legal and the illegal rings for other stuff are a lot easier to spot. Those will be the things that should be illegal, not drugs which primarily harm adults able to consent to doing them. Let’s do the Portugal method of decrim and social support. Even if it isn’t perfect, it’s good.)
I’d pay that subscription. 100%.
I like drugs. I guess I should install telegram. Do the dealers just populate themselves as a service or what?
Thanks, random netizen, for telling me about a method to obtain drugs of which I was unaware!
(Jk, it’s not popular enough here for that, but if it was… I’d still just use signal ;) )
I have a greenworks push mower and I can clearly hear the birds while I’m mowing.
It’s not the most powerful thing, but it does the job really quietly.
Do they expect him to be fully gay, even when it’s right there in the word bi-sexual…? Like his options are majority women, minority men. (self-admitting bisexual and gay men are a minority, even if -and I do mean if; this is not a statement of fact- actually most people are more fluid than they’d otherwise believe or admit, if they were raised to be just chill with whatever) especially for having a family…? That’s just statistics.
It’s worth the watch if you like existential surreal stuff.
It’s been one of my faves for decades. The mad world song is easily one of my faves so I’ve naturally watched it a bunch.
If you like it there’s a sequel S. Darko, which tells the story from his sisters perspective, as I understand it, but I haven’t seen that one; you can’t improve on something already perfect.
I just say the following every time:
“Your mother would be so disappointed in you if she really understood what you were doing, wouldn’t she?
Ruining the lives of little old ladies, just like mama. She’s probably not well off either, right Mr scammer? I feel for you. Really I do. I’ve lived in poverty my whole life too, and it’s been a huge struggle just to get by. But me? I wouldn’t shame my family by scamming people just like us out of what little they have. My mamma raised me better than that. I’m sure yours did, too.”
I always get a reply meaning it definitely strikes a nerve, usually get some sort of bravado about how mama is proud because they bring home the money, and I just respond “if you tell yourself that enough maybe you’ll believe it someday, too!”.
But I don’t want to be totally heartless because a lot of them don’t have meaningful options, and I get that, and I’m not the ragey sort generally. Or at least I try not to be.
I wish more games had playable demos. Even after the game comes out, just rip part of it out and let me play it. It’s one thing to watch a gameplay video, it’s another thing entirely to try it out for yourself.
I get that in this case, the demo showed too much (giving the impression there would be more growth), and that was a disappointing experience, but I’d argue that’s an issue with the demo/game combo itself - it’s for a game that only takes a couple hours total, so it’s very limited in what it can do with a demo. It would be like a demo of stray (2 hours to get through the story) or tinykin (under 10 hours for 100%) both also very short games with very limited abilities. You can do a short teaser, but then people would complain it’s too short and whatever… it’s a no-win there, I think, because the author even says there’s a good story missed in the demo.
But if you have a demo of, for example, dysmantle, it doesn’t matter that the gameplay is exactly the same for 100 hours, and the only thing that changes is -what- you can smash… there’s some progression involved, but not much… it’s basically just smashing and exploring, and that’s all the demo would be. And that’s ok too, because holy SHIT is that repetition fun!
Probably because if we admit that it’s a necessity of the modern age like power and water, it would basically need to be metered like a utility, and there goes all the profits with flat rate “up to” speed pricing that most people don’t even remotely use.
And no matter which one you pick, you are correct.
