They're called temperature blankets/scarves if anyone wants more inspiration or instruction. My advice is to record each day's temp in a journal because you will miss days and buy more yarn than you think you need so you don't run out because of an unexpected warm spell in February.

I'd be upset if my child did this. But only because I'd want them to tell me their friend was in need of breakfasts, dinners, housekeeping, and groceries too!

There was nothing physically wrong with Padmé. She lost the will to live. The Force can't fix that.

Rorschach has an incredibly distorted view of the world. He sees women simply walking down the street as whores to be used/abused. To him, every single person other than himself is an incompetent flea with no human intelligence or value. Also, he's a bean thief.

guest_'s word count was 2,516. Or 1.8x longer than the Declaration of Independence and 920% longer than the Gettysburg Address. Good writing involves editing.

Back in the day, it wasn't uncommon for movies to stay in theaters a long time. Especially considering Jurassic Park was the highest grossing film of all time at that point.
Here you can see it ran from 10 June, 1993 to 20 October, 1994:

Okay, so worst case you've got a break from your intensive science classes and some new trivia to show off. Best case, you learn skills and modes of thinking that you can apply to your field of study and the world at large.

Because the point of undergraduate studies is to produce well-rounded individuals who are ready for a variety of different paths. The papers you write for film theory help you with written reasoning, analysis, and thinking critically about media. Pre civil war history helps you take others' perspectives and find connections between causes and effects. We want art students with some knowledge of science and vice versa.

My sister was born Deaf but didn't go to a specialised school. A boy from her year came by our family's shop and asked me to teach him sign because he thought my sister was "cool." I spent a few weeks meeting with him and teaching him the basics. He and my sister have been together for about 8 years now!

If you really feel like you can't "burden" (hint: you're not a burden) your friends or family, find a therapist! You'll have someone whose sole desire is to listen to whatever you want to say.
There's likely free or cheap mental health services in your area - search for community counseling, community health centre, therapists with scaled rates, etc. Memes can't replace therapy!

TLDR: Plastic is the least effective storage, best when you need something cheap and short-term. Aluminium and glass are comparable alternatives with different advantages.

TLDR: Teachers have to teach to the average, not the individual. You have to learn both how to find creative solutions to problems AND how to follow directions and tested ways of thinking.

TLDR: Given enough traction, a small vehicle can pull a huge load for at least a small distance - so that's not a great measure for the vehicle's overall performance.

TLDR: There are interesting consequences to everyone being able to change their appearances at will, though generally people will still find things to be unhappy about.

TLDR: There's probably never a good reason to not treat someone like a person, and there are certain identities that deserve the respect of an authority.

Well part of it is if I'm buying chocolate for my kids I might as well buy some for myself. But mostly their utter elation is infectious. :)

It's possible. More research is needed, but use of puberty blockers may lead to decreased bone density. But with monitoring bone health and mitigating other risk factors, puberty blockers should be pretty safe.

Yup. Basically pills that stop the body from releasing the hormones that trigger the development of facial/body hair, breasts, etc. They can help trans kids avoid the discomfort/dysmorphia that comes with growing into a body that doesn't match how you feel. And if they decide they want to go through puberty, they can stop the blockers and resume the process.

I don't know if cage fighting is the best evidence since the point is to hurt your opponent and cis women do some damage too. But if you want to avoid this issue while respecting people's identities, let trans youth take puberty blockers so that women don't have to go through male puberty developing muscles and strength they don't want.
