Probably temporary.

I love Storygraph. It's so polished, with interesting features. It just needs the ability to merge duplicate books.

This explains it so well.

I didn't know yt-dlp could download subtitles. Good to know.

I think it must vary a lot from place to place. I lived in Southern Louisiana until recently, and it's still common there to see kids out by themselves, walking from place to place, playing in the street, or riding bikes around the neighborhood with friends. No one seems to have a problem with it.

"Do as I say, not as I do," was a common saying in my family, also. It sounds like she wanted you to be an adult while she still felt like a child. I think some parents never grew up.

I think she had undiagnosed mental issues, tbh.

Yeah, I realized as an adult that most grown men actually aren't interested in kids.

Even with small businesses, the owner's personal funds and the company's funds are supposed to be separate. You can get in big trouble for treating them as interchangeable. If the "company" is just you, it's probably fine, but once you're big enough to be employing other people, it's a bad practice. I've seen friends face legal trouble because of it. And I don't see anything tankie about acknowledging that, once you start employing other people, those people are part of the company. The value and utility of the company come from them as much as from the owner--or more, in many cases. That's literally why a company would want to employ multiple people.

Thanks.

I really wonder where they got this from! Strangely enough, when I was a teen and actually starting to get inappropriate attention from men, she would never believe that it happened.
