Other Social Media Sites: Here's a research paper I read the title of that proves my crackpot hypothesis.

Mastodon: Hello, I wrote this research paper, let me take you through what it actually means.

@RickiTarr when my kids have exhausted every other possible option they then gird up their loins, create a pathway of caveats and then ask me their question. They have a very specific look in their eyes when they do it too and I think that they use the bathroom and hydrate before approaching me, something like this😬.

I don't try to be didactic, it's just how my brain interacts with the world. I think of it as "they wouldn't have asked if they didn't want to know" .

@mycotropic @RickiTarr

My kids are adult now and they still love me. I tell them occasionally that I hope I didn’t traumatize them. 🙀

On the other hand, I get shit done. 😹
