Hello comrade 😊

Of the examples I gave pearl and coral are a hard no, but I was kind of surprised by how horrified I was at the idea of owning something with human hair in it. It made me wonder how other people draw that line.

I would also like to avoid bones, plz.

I think that’s my question, but I am realizing it could be two or more questions.

Does owning/using something that was part of a living being gross you out?

Either way, what do you consider to have been part of a living being? I think this is an especially interesting question if you do say it does gross you out.

If some things gross you out but others don’t, why?

How to do memes?

Step 1: cut a hole in the box…

Seriously, memes are just a shared reference. It can even be a shared reference to itself, like most copy pasta. It’s a way to feel included and share an experience, opinion, and memory.

If an individual doesn’t find a meme funny, they probably just aren’t part of that in-group and that’s okay. Not everything is for everyone.

Because they are military and some people do not like that.

Unsolicited advice disguised as a question.incoming: is your relationship with these young people such that you have to listen?

I do mentorship (which is actually very perplexing that they want me to do this lol) and it takes so much energy that I have to really space it out but other than that I mostly kinda just let them do their own thing and don’t pay much mind unless asked to 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have observed that sometimes old people don’t understand their opinion is unwanted.

I’m approaching old. I need to remind myself that I don’t understand the struggles the youth have these days. I had it hard, sure, but their struggles and worries are not the same as mine. It’s a different world.

So unsolicited advice + thinking the kids are doing it wrong is an easy path to mean/angry.
