That’s a sweet and comforting sentiment <3

On a side note, I never liked the term “big girl job”. Just feels infantilizing and not in a cute way.

Not surprising. People adopt vocabulary, phrases, and mannerisms of speech from sources they interact with often. It happens in interactions between real people on and offline too.

You can put them in the freezer for use in months when they don’t grow.

Jelly, jam, compote, syrups for juices, and liqueur are all long-lasting things you can make with them.

 

Edit: thank you for sharing your suggestions, everyone. I’ll try to check out the ones I haven’t read. Hopefully the responses in this thread were helpful for you too. <3

Observe how they treat people who they don’t benefit from in financial, sexual, or other material ways. Don’t rush to be too generous with them.

Thank you for the clarification. I wanted to go along with the joke of it looking “edible”, but context is appreciated :)

With the amount of bots and fake profiles on the web, I think there will be a greater push for user verification, maybe a centralized form of virtual ID.

More efforts to make and perfect self-driving vehicles.

Gene editing as a more widespread solution to illnesses and defects.

That would counteract the intelligence part of AI…but there would be no victors in that battle.

Jason Alexander is cemented in my memory as George Costanza.

Medical tourism is a real thing. Whether you will pay less than you would in the US will depend on the country you go to and the procedure. Without insurance you are still likely to pay a lot of money at a private clinic. You also have to factor in whether you will need follow-up appointments and plan for complications because those costs plus the costs of multiple overseas trips and living accommodations will add up.
