Just go to any Target, bro.

No, you're wrong, but it's only because you're ignorant about the reality of what you're talking about. Anyway, have a good one.

Yeah, that isn't acting like an adult. Plenty of kids do things like that all the time in a healthy context.

The "adult" part in your scenario, and what is in fact abuse, is that the kids you're talking about have no choice.

I worked at a non-profit for homeless and drug addicted mothers for several years in the Bay Area. My mom is a social worker. I can promise you that for every one kid who "grows up fast" to take care of their siblings there are 50 who can barely take care of themselves let alone their siblings, are malnourished, extremely angry, extremely violent, having no coping skills, can't read, can't do basic math, can't focus, etc.

And those kids who "grew up too fast" are far from adults. They are children with cobbled together survival skills and often a deep distrust for adults. If they don't seek help they'll usually carry that distrust and trauma into adulthood, and guess what? They don't look anything like the plucky little kid who rose above the odds because putting on a strong face all those years while being emotionally deprived and abused profoundly damaged them psychologically.

I shouldn't have called you an idiot since I don't know whether or not you intended to suggest there was some silver lining or anything beneficial in kids acting like adults. But if you actually interact with them, they don't act much like adults. They act like kids who've had to adjust and survive, manage basic functions like preparing meals or changing diapers, and spend the rest of their time fortifying their fragile mental state. They're nothing like any adult you'd ever want to see.

This is uplifting, well done.

You wish. It just leads to more uneducated, undisciplined and immature adults who have children of their own, raise them irresponsibly and continue the cycle.

The person who wrote this has probably never actually been around highly dysfunctional families because this take is idiotic.

There are so many different strains, I doubt they'd all do that to you. Like I can't smoke the Jack Herer strain, it gives me a ton of anxiety and restlessness. And I'd never smoke Blue Dream as a sub for adderall because it would make me too spacey, even though it love it when I want that effect.

I'd track down Red Congo if you haven't already, that one is the best received from all the people I've suggested it to over the years.

And one caveat is that it helps a lot if you live in a place with dispensaries so you can get a steady supply of specific strains at consistent quality, otherwise the medicinal benefit probably won't be as strong.

I completely ditched my Adderall (2x 20mg XR a day) for sativas. Durban Poison or Red Congolese give me the same focus with no anxiety, no harsh drop off and a pleasant background euphoria all day. It's completely insane this isn't ordinary prescribed medicine.

Yeah, the average life expectancy rises when men don't feel like they have to the right to murder women because won't do what they're told.

I'm sure they did, people were fantastically ignorant and superstitious back then.

So they believed in monsters because fish are idiots.

It's the real DoF from the lens 😂

Yes, probably.

My appreciation of how devoted my mom was is the reason why I'll never have kids. I have no interest in giving that much of my time and energy to children.

I started smoking weed and have very little interest in depressing or violent media now

Yeah.. maybe it's a regional thing?

Boom-boom? Is that a white thing?

I know plenty of people who call their partner boo-boo. And both poo-poo and boo-boo are used for feces.

Yeah, I live down the street and finally took a pic walking the dog

Does homeboy have a bunch of coke on his nose? 😂

Jamie's stand up bit about the situation is a classic. That man is more like Willie Beamen than Willie Beamen. 😂

I'm gonna check this out, thanks!
