I vaguely recall doing the exact same myself

So why homeschool your kids then?

One lion has their mom providing their kid 1:1 tutoring every minute of the day, catering all of their education to the child and thus making them captive and domesticated, setting their expectations for a world which will always attend to their every fleeting whim and one where they rarely experience the world beyond their own house.

The other lion has to fend for themselves and take on their responsibility of learning in the wilderness of a classroom filled with 20-30 other students who are all competing to get their various needs met in a classroom led by an underpaid, undersupported, underresourced teacher who is burned out and who cannot possibly provide a rich education for all their students.

Homeschooling is, like, putting a lion in a cage or something. [Insert images here]

I have fond memories of drinking myself halfway into a stupor with kava in my younger days which was no mean feat. I'm very keen on the stuff.

Just make sure that you take a few days break every week if you're consuming it regularly. Chronic consumers of kava can develop a (reversible) skin condition but you'd need to be drinking it like you're living on a Pacific island before that's likely to happen.

It's been a while since I've dug into the literature on kava but the risk of liver damage is completely overblown - it may cause an elevation in particular liver enzymes, especially with heavy or chronic consumption but there hasn't been any actual links to liver damage. In countries where kava consumption is commonplace, they tend not to consume the root whole but instead drink the extract from the root using water and so there's some hypotheses that consuming the root whole rather than just the extract may cause elevated liver enzymes and potentially lead to liver damage so if you're going to make it a regular thing then I'd veer on the safer side and make an extract the way that it's traditionally done rather than taking capsules of whole powdered root or something similar like that.

But, all in all, in regards to safety if you're consuming it occasionally for recreational purposes the risk is very minimal. We're talking like less risk than smoking cannabis here.

If the person who edited this video was familiar with Spanish they could have gotten an amazing joke in at the mention of the word "mariposa" by censoring out the last bit and having the video play out so he says "Mari[bleep]. The Spanish word for [bleep]."

Truly a missed opportunity 😔

Surprisingly, Biden appointing Adriano Celentano as speechwriter will be looked back upon as being one of the better decisions made by his administration.

I will not return from Gaza...

Correct!

I'd put the lede at the front:

US coalition launches full-scale assault on Iran in response to cruise missile strikes from Houthi controlled territory on at least 20 Saudi oil refineries

Or alternatively for something less verbose:

Missiles from Houthi controlled territory strike 20+ Saudi oil refineries, US coalition responds with full-scale assault on Iran

The good thing is that type of anarchist doesn't go outside, and certainly not to engage in activism, so you're pretty safe.

This type of anarchist is courted by NAFO chuds and they tend to take people like Vaush, Dylan Burns, Animarchy, Destiny, and Keffals seriously.

You can tell that this is authentic because the "handwritten" double underline done in red is perfectly identical to the other red double underline in the image in OP's post.
