@GeminiTerms Don't believe this 🤣 . The libra I met wasn't at all my match. We are complete opposites with different mindset and goals. Our priorities also are so different, and that is a huge problem later in life.

@hourly_shitpost Do not do these things to kids, their brain is still on development. It's great that the last kid didn't get scared but there is a ton that will get very scared. The structure of the brain that process fear could become overactive. This brings so many issues in life.

@Jameca2011 That's cool but the key part is that they also need to have this same viewpoint about you. Some families are very closed and don't accept newcomers... it becomes a toxic and negative environment.. in that case I rather not to.

Universities should be more intentional about nontraditional students, such as those that are 25 years old or older, are parents, or work full time. They are not being targeted the same way younger students are making it harder to enroll and stay in school.

@Pm1oPm1o @ksatnews Although schools are not daycares, without blaming anyone, we have to accept that tons of kids will be alone on Fridays. It is important to assess the collateral damage, job loss, endangered kids, etc. Of course teachers are sooo important but so does the children.

@miasboots @introvertsmemes Some people aren't like that and that's totally ok, but I think she refers on the part that says "some are excited and happy to start the day". Like what? I can start the day whatever way I want to. It's not about talking to each other is about my own feelings and choices.
