As long as you keep them out of the sewer.

Not true. Locations can survive on commuters.

Which they're doing, using a waste stream. I imagine the machinery is largely diesel at the momebt, but could be converted to electric in due time

People on reddit understand that memes are supposed to be funny/clever, at least.

Props, qwename. You stated your position clearly and firmly but remained open-minded during discussion.

That decision comes years or decades after practice and learning, which people do because A) they find just noodling on the instrument fun, and/or b) they find improving their skill deeply rewarding, and/or c) they think guitar/music is just really cool.

A bad instrument can make the experience miserable, though. My first acoustic was fucking awful, just straight trash. How long does yours stay in tune?

I work at a plant that uses one of those alternative flocculants (due to our source water chemistry). Our logistics are incredibly shaky at the best of times, due to the extremely limited number of producers.

My instinct not to watch the last one was correct, then?

"Natural consequences" is the buzzword. Make sure the consequences fit the action. You squirted most the toothpaste into the aink? You don't get access to toothpaste, and mom/dad have to do your toothbrush.

This works with my kid because they value their autonomy very highly. Your child may value things differently.

Something to keep in mind: the goal isn't to be a high-discipline parent, it's to be a consistent parent. Express expectations and consequences, then hold to them. This helps children feel secure, and dramatically reduces testing behaviors (not to zero but much lower).

They tried to make Magic the Gathering into some kind of big brand with characters and merch and corporate fuckery- they drove people away, myself and my friends included.

I don't see this going much better.

Have they sicced the pinkertons on anyone yet? Maybe a negative reviewer?
