i take a long time to properly think through consequences, and as a kid I couldn’t ever dare to try and truly feel what it would be like to shoot somebody. just because you may be different doesn’t mean everyone is. children are specifically known for their lack of foresight and increased impulsivity. one impulse can be enough for someone to go through a minutes-long process. minutes isn’t anywhere near the max that can appear.
maybe stupid is what the world needs the most
i don’t think you need to be a violent kid to accidentally shoot someone to death; that’s why guns are so insidious. it only takes a couple of simple actions at most to kill someone. it’s simple enough where people might not think about the consequences before killing somebody. it makes death easily accessible and not a very physical or straining task.
i also would generally refrain from calling an unknown kid who you just don’t know violent, or passing judgement on the father for looking a certain way. stereotypes might turn out true, but they also might not.
i get the antiperspirant deodorant with the most aluminum salts, and it happens to be 96h. I don’t know if it truly holds for 96h because I shower daily and I also know that aluminum salts might contribute to issues later in life (or at least there used to be lots of scary headlines about aluminum salts and cancer, but that seems to have subsided a bit and nowadays the consensus is that they’re not an issue, at least without a causal link), but I truly hate the feel of sweat on my skin. Aluminum salts block the sweat glands so sweat can’t come out, and they’re truly effective.
oh I don’t have any AC, but I also meant more when I go outside
I’m the opposite; summer feels like the sun is repeatedly stabbing and bludgeoning me and winter feels refreshing and freeing
only applies to gift (german for poison) horses. they have a contract. it’s in the contract.
but it’s also difficult to permanently change something in our bodies. just about everything only has a temporary effect. life is incredibly dynamic and everything changes over time.
i use bash but i also use atuin which makes shell history so much neater. that’s about the only convenience i need in a terminal shell.
it makes sense to me; you rest at the end of the weed and start the next day with work

AI being able to accurately undress kids is a real issue in multiple ways
the ipad mini is 195.4mm x 134.8mm
the iphone 17 pro max is 163.4mm x 78mm
those sizes do indeed differ, even if the listed diagonal display sizes only differ by 1.4" (8.3" vs. 6.9")
the reason the widths are so different is because the ipad mini has much thicker bezels but more importantly because it has a much squarer aspect ratio. the squarer aspect ratio means with a “similarly sized” display when only counting the diagonal you get much more width. while almost 7 inches is a lot, when you compare it to phones from 8 years ago it’s not actually that much bigger, even though back then 16:9 phones were usually under 6 inches.
you got it the wrong way around, the article is saying that the kidnap special forces “defended” themselves when the guards of the president attacked the invading kidnappers. defended is a very positive word and aims to put this illegal infiltration, murder and kidnapping (war without a declaration) in a good light. as a clueless teen i used to not think about the substance and material conditions of things. if the overwhelming majority of news i see calls something “defended”, i would be swayed. a lot of adults are still clueless, only able to barely survive under the massive stress and pressure that these systems create. they do not care about this nuance out of necessity. they need to survive. this sneaky wordplay is aimed at them.

usually growing economies eventually stop growing, but the benefit newly growing economies can access is more modern technology built in right from the start, instead of centuries of retrofitting new technologies as they become available
