      Lead in the paint, lead in the water main, lead in the air and water from the fuels being burned.

      It’s a shame we cleaned up so much of the lead only to be dealing with a generation of nutcases a decade away from irrelevancy. But we’ll definitely be dealing with that bullshit they did for generations.

        You forgot lead in the soil from all the lead in the air. That’s biting us in the ass now, since a lot of plants we eat are REALLY good at taking in heavy metals.

    I was enjoying that as if it were a poem, until I got to the bit that said “Hit share if you agree!”. That completely killed the vibe and made me see the post for the AI-generated garbage it is.

      It is actually photoshop. This is a human-generated stroke

      The words flowed like verse, captivating my mind,
      As if the author’s pen had been divinely entwined.
      But then the call to action, a jarring intrusion,
      Shattered the spell, exposing the post’s illusion.

      The magic of poetry, now reduced to a plea,
      A soulless ploy, devoid of authenticity.
      The genuine spark, extinguished by a desperate plea,
      Leaving me longing for the art I once did s—

    I wonder why missing children on milk cartons was a thing and not a thing anymore.

      Logic won out, understanding that blasting kids with scary media constantly was impacting their mental health negatively. Almost like we also shouldn’t be doing things like freaking kids out with useless shooter drills too…

        Unfortunately those shooter drills are not as useless as you would hope

            I went to a high school on the larger side and one time some people 2 grades below me got into a fight. The next day one of them brought a gun to school. The security guards ended up catching him before anything happened but there was a solid hour where no one knew what the hell was going on and everyone was in full lockdown. The unfortunate reality is that those drills definitely save lives, even in a state with some of the strictest gun laws in the US (which I guess is a pretty low bar).

              How did the active shooter drills for students help that? Tbh they may have helped cause the ideation.

              Lockdown drills possibly for staff I can maybe get on board with, but for students? The universal trauma is IMHO not worth the off chance that it helps in a (still extremely rare) active shooter scenario

                At least in my school the internal/external threat drills were normalized enough that they weren’t really traumatic. They were basically treated the same as fire drills. Looking back on it that fact is kind of messed up by itself.

                I could actually see that being a good argument for why they shouldn’t happen though since it might make people take the real thing less seriously if it ever happened.

                  The fact that they’re normalized is exactly the trauma I’m talking about, it IS incredibly messed up!

      It was a good idea, but it didn’t work well enough to be financially viable. Not to mention it scared children and their parents

        Parents were also greyhounding their kids to their grandparents or something and hoped that it worked out. I mean there were some crazh shit parents did before.

      Probably because of social media and Amber alerts.

    Wtf is “conkers?” Anyway yeah I drank from the hoses a kid, because I wasn’t allowed in the house when I was wet and muddy from stopping around outside, especially if I decided to go visit the nearby creek, or I’ve been playing in the kiddie pool. It wasn’t my first choice, and it’s not like I was guzzling it, I mean it tasted like vinyl.

    It puts the lotion on or it gets the hose again.
