arbitrary

About 12-15, depends on how close to 8 hours of sleep I get.

What's JDPON? Searching brings up Maoism Third Worldism which I'm familiar with but I can't figure out what the actual acronym here is.

We're all doing well over here. Wife learned from her trauma therapist her parents have strong narcissistic traits, which explains a lot, and is taking a 6 month break to decide what role they'll have in our lives if any. Fall weather has been unusually warm so we've been taking advantage of local pumpkin patches and the kids really enjoy that!

Well shit. What're the options if you did tear it? More surgery?

Ugh, that's no fun. We've already been getting a little sick more often since our toddler just started preschool.

Any updates figuring out what you have?

One of the fun things about getting older is realizing I can't just sleep on whatever surface I want and bounce back the next morning...

Honestly I'm not sure but I don't think it was particularly detrimental either. I'm glad that it reassured you! I was already pretty grounded in scientific thinking/materialism without knowing that's what it was explicitly so I eventually just accepted it wasn't real.

Probably not helpful in this specific case but I identified as otherkin about 20 years ago as a young teenager. For me it was escapism from a hostile home environment but I did get over it after about a year. My friends eventually (correctly and mostly lovingly) mocked me for it.

That's awesome haha. I'm excited for my kids to start writing & reading.

Thanks! They ended up leaving without apologizing so I just finished dropping off their shit and took my car back I lent them. Good riddance.

Gotcha, agreed there for sure.

Definitely, not arguing against the outcome either way

Do they actually care if they lose, is it really a punishment? Feels like they'll just continue Republican policies whenever they're next in power and keep willingly being dragged to the right.
