You know, I think an adult show and tell wouldn't be too different to a kids one, we don't change that much in what we find cool from 7 to 70.

I'd bring some pets, I have geckos that are an all female species and reproduce only through parthenogenesis, most people find them cool.

I've never fallen for bad scams luckily but I fall for little ones sometimes. Like once I was entering the subway in a country where I didn't speak the language and this guy coming the other way said the trains were cancelled, so I asked how do I get to X place, and he's like "Oh, my friend has a taxi company, come with me and I'll sort you out". I was just about to follow him when I came back to my senses. Obviously there was nothing wrong with the trains and he was trying to fleece a tourist... or kidnap a woman, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

I think in the current climate, public community/leisure spaces would be good. Nobody has any money, a lot of people don't have heat (or cooling) at home, spaces where people can just exist comfortably need to be made. What if a former office could be converted into tennis courts, chess rooms, libraries, computer rooms, just a room with sofas or tables where you can sit and not buy anything?

I know everyone wants to make a profit but loads of these spaces are just empty, surely something could be done?

Not all, but most don't seem to have adventures. When I was a kid I'd go off into the woods and build a den or climb a tree, we once spent a whole week trying to dam a stream, god knows why. None of my friends kids go anywhere by themselves, a lot of them do 'forest school' where they'll be taken by adults to a sanitised woodland and taught how to build a teepee with pre cut wood, and it's just not the same thing.

I have wondered about the impact of all these massive cars. It's interesting that they impact both traffic and energy, although obvious if you think about it.

There's a lot of talk now how "everybody knew", but it's not really true. Unless we're collectively saying the whole country delivered their children to be molested for a giggle.

Nobody or very few "knew", people certainly had suspicions, and there was conversation about him being a bit of a ladies man, or liking younger women, or even being inappropriate with kids, but the vast majority of people didn't suspect anything or he wouldn't have had the opportunities that he had.

I mean.. have you seen the British press? Photoshop is pretty standard.

What they're doing is fueling weird conspiracy theories.

Yes, Brexit 1 was just politically leaving Europe, Brexit 2 is actually moving the whole country to the middle of the atlantic.

She does photography as a hobby so yes, maybe, it probably goes through various layers but it wouldn't surprise me if she has a play herself.

Either way though, this shock that photos are edited is madness.

I think ae and a are both acceptable in greek and are used in different places.

At least in my country, you're in there because you're a danger to yourself or others, with weight on the latter because if you're suicidal and lucid then they can't section you.

So it is kinda the same thing, like people in prison are kept in that way because they're dangerous to the population.

Obviously there's voluntary admissions and stuff, but they're fewer and the staff there aren't really briefed so it's easier to care for everyone the same
