I just saw Malort described as ‘tasting like gasoline and burned condoms’ the other day. I’d never heard of it before and now need to try it at least once for science (mind you, I’m quite fond of Albanian bathtub grappa, so I might like it).

I’ve noticed a sharp uptick of kids on planes doing this too! How does a parent allow that? Why don’t flight attendants give them headphones or ask them to mute the audio? I don’t get it. That’s airplane etiquette 101. I’ve spent more than one six hour flight with Candy Crush or whatever blasting at full volume one row back.

Yes, clearly, because the best way for children to learn how to be socialized is to hide them away until they are old enough to act like adults, which they learn by… looking at a wall? 
Wait… that’s not right?

While the idea has often been used to the detriment of individual children and society as a whole, Proverbs isn’t wrong:
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
My neurodivergent kiddo would like to have a scream at ya. Sadly, therapy isn’t an option for everyone. We’re lucky and after 3 years of therapy he achieved inside voice…on occasion…
