There’s a good chance your dad knows my aunt. She also fell down a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories during the pandemic and it’s driven away her family and she doesn’t understand why. One time a bunch of her friends bullied me on Facebook for being pro-vaccine and my Mom said she didn’t know any of those people and my aunt likely met them online through conspiracy bullshit groups

“No news is good news” depends on the situation. If your current situation is good and you don’t want it to change, then no news is good news. But if say, you’re waiting to hear if you got a job you want, you want news
When I was a kid, it was assumed that boys asked girls to dances and not the other way around. In the recent Pixar series Dream Productions, a tween girl is asked who she’s going to ask to the school dance. It’s now treated as normal for girls to ask boys. She also ends up not going with a date and just going with her friends.
People always portray David as a child when it happened too. The Bible describes him as a youth but it doesn’t say how young. I guess because his brothers were already soldiers and he wasn’t, people figure he was a child. I’d say he was a teenager.
They also tested the thing about toast landing butter side up

The saying “shoot for the moon, even if you miss you’ll land among the stars”. No you won’t, the stars are outside the solar system, they’re much further away than the moon
I shouldn’t be reading this thread before bed
Once, when I wasn’t doing so well mentally, I threw a tub stopper at a wall. I never found it again and my apartment has since been thoroughly cleaned numerous times
I don’t worry about it cause I figure I’ll sense it if someone is close behind me

Weed. In the form of edibles, sodas, and pre-rolled joints
I think the basis of morality should be if it helps, it’s good, if it hurts, it’s bad. I realize there are still a lot of situations without easy answers but that’s a good starting point. Better than it’s good or bad because the rules say so.
I bought a toy for my nephew on temu and have since been getting constant emails offering deals. I’ve ignored them cause I suspect it’s some kind of scam
I don’t know much about the effects of legalization on society as a whole, but I personally feel I have benefitted from weed being legal. I find weed to be useful in helping me sleep and manage stress. That said, people should also be educated about the potential dangers of weed. Using it too often can lead to neglecting one’s responsibilities, and people underestimate the danger of driving while stoned. I also find, since I’ve gotten proper therapy, I don’t need weed as much as I used to.
On principle, I think drugs should not be treated as a criminal issue. At most, drug addicts should be made to get treatment. Governments should focus on education and treatment instead of harsh punishment. People who are on drugs should feel safe admitting to what drugs they’re on in the event of an emergency.
Maybe I’m just stupid but I have a helluva time opening cans
