    I think this is supposed to be interpreted as '“lol gas = dino juice so a time traveler can get free gas” but I initially read it as “Finally I have located the birthplace of the first sentient hominid. It is time to undo the destruction of mankind before it even begins. For a touch of irony, I will immolate them with the very poison with which they would have devastated the Earth.”







  • It takes a village, but more than that. In my experience (mostly speaking of my friends) rather well-adjusted people had significant influence from multiple adults living in their home: grandparents, aunts and uncles, roommates, family friends. They also tended to be involved with community things like sports and arts where they’d get close mentorship from other adults not in the home.

    Though, everyone I’ve known who had a professional caretaker (nanny, etc.) is a hot mess. So it’s more about having multiple people who care for you properly, not just more caretakers = better

    I know a fair few kids of single parents who also kick ass, but most of them have some trauma too.

    US culture is pushing that living with family is a sign of laziness/poverty and the opposite of success, when that couldn’t be further from the truth. Individualism is killing us.
