Yeah, I charitably hope she is interpreting “living wage” as living super comfortably in a mini McMansion in the suburbs with a pool in the back yard and a new car in the driveway every 5 years or so. I mean, that’s how many of this generation experienced success, so it makes sense if that’s her frame of reference. But a literal _living _wage is something you can…you know …live off of. With super extraneous purchases like food and clothes and a roof over your head. They don’t stop and think what they’re expecting people to do - work all day or night long so she can have her ice cream and still not be able to afford rent. It’s cruel and dehumanizing.

I mean, I think “those people” believe it’s the billionaire pharma companies lying to them, not the individual researchers. And they’re lying to everyone, including the doctors and public health officials. Not that I agree - that would be difficult to cover up & someone would surely whistleblow. But it does make more sense if you look at the brainwashing in that light.

See, even without ADHD, this is still a problem. Burnout does not require undiagnosed neurodivergency - we need to dispel the myth that working this much and carrying this much is normal. ADHD shouldn’t have anything to do with it.

Nor should being a woman, for that matter. Take care of each other out there.

Was his first name Xavier? Dr. X Wiener?

They are excellent on their own, but you can also put them in tacos or sprinkled over a salad as a crunchy replacement for croutons. When we make them, the kids usually grab handfuls before we can do much else with them. Make 2 cans’ worth as a safety net!

I would love to get Hogwarts Legacy for my son - he just finished all of the books! He’s getting a new laptop for Christmas, so we haven’t focused on games, etc. yet but I’m sure he’d be thrilled to play!

This is a really fun idea, thanks for doing this!

That’s because it’s not taught correctly. It’s supposed to apply to words that have an “ee” sound from blended vowels, because those are the words that are confusing to remember whether the i or the e comes first. And even then there are exceptions (weird, seize, Keith). It was never meant to cover words with an “ay” sound like weigh or where the 2 vowels are pronounced separately (science, glacier, being).

But it’s much more fun to pick words that “disprove” the rule for Internet points (even though they were never meant to be in scope).

Just a tip: You can also automate the bathroom fan with a timer to turn off after 30 min or whatever, since you want it to run for a bit but not all night.
