It's actually a river you crash on the edge of. You can see if you look out over it, there's cliffs and hills on the other side.

That's why I specified 'between consenting adults', because yes, 13 and 28 is definitely a problem.

I'm an introvert. And was as a child too. Talking to friends via msn messenger was my preference. If my mum had of removed my technology I'd of had no way of talking to my friends that was comfortable for me, it basically forces face to face social interaction if you want to talk to people.
Which triggered an anxiety response and made me very tired.
So I imagine banning tech from children will result in introverted children having to be in situations they don't enjoy and not being able to feel comfortable communicating in ways they are comfortable.
It could result in children just shutting themselves away because they dont enjoy the face to face. Which can result in depression. But forcing them to be uncomfortable in social situations can result in serious anxiety and even more discomfort in social situations, if you're forced into something it can create more of a distaste for that situation/ thing.
The times I was dragged to things with my mum, it made me hate parties etc all the more and my anxiety about them got worse.
Whereas if it's something I chose to do for myself, it had less of a negative effect on me than if it's something I was forced into.
So if introverted children prefer texting, messaging etc then you take that away from them, it can result in them having to do things they aren't comfortable with, which can have an effect on mental health. As it's forcing them into different things they don't really want to be doing.

3 year age gap is nothing. I don't understand people's need to be disgusted by or police consenting adults.

There's 15 years between me and my partner. Both 30+ so both very much consenting adults. But Christ, you still get people chirping with the 'power differential' bullshit. Like seriously, you'd think I was 13 the way people go at the age gap. Then again, that was when I actually used Reddit so.

People are always gonna be outraged by something stupid.

Haha. No kidding. That's one heck of an episode for sure!

Cats can also have litters to multiple males. My cat snuck out during lock down, before I could get her sterilised. And had a little of two grey cats (same as her and the cat I saw her near) and a black and white tuxedo cat (also another colour way of cat that hung around my garden.)
It's interesting to see all the variations of kitties when they have kittens!

I never thought I'd experience this. But I was on a short flight that was an hour long. So I was in what I call the tuna can plane. The small city hopper type. When we were getting off the plane, I stood up and full force twatted my head off the overhead bins.
I'm 5 foot... I dunno what dazed me more, the shock or the smack on the head. Lmfao.

Guarantee it happens again when I take that flight soon.

Oh my gosh, that is adorable.

To the artist who drew this:
This artist says keep up the good work! You're doing great. I'm a huge lover of foxes, my art started by drawing foxes when I was younger. Yours are so much better than mine were!

Nourish their talent, let it grow! Art is an amazing thing and it allows us to express ourselves where words cannot.

I worked for them a few years ago.
Try using a browser, if that doesn't work, clear the cache and cookies and try again. If it still doesn't work, try a different browser (the one they'd usually recommend was Firefox). If that doesn't work, customer service should be able to remove it for you.

The system is dumb, the security system is automated and did weird shit at times. One of the error codes in the document we had was labelled as 'WTF happened?'
So yeah. PayPal are kinda wang sometimes.

I worked for them. I've seen their list of error code reasons. Literally one of the error codes you could get was labelled as 'WTF happened?' on the list.
'Too many buckets' was another one, that one made me laugh tbh.
But they literally have like a 12+ page document of error codes and what they mean. The system is pretty buggy.
But generally our solution was, clear cache and cookies or try a different browser. It 75% of the time worked. If that didn't work, customer service could remove cards for you.

Brand loyalty is stupid.
How dare you mention leaving windows. I use windows!

Yes... Brand loyalty is stupid. So maybe look in that mirror before commenting dude.
