This article has sooo much being said between the lines.

The mother, Rachel Pickrel-Hawkins, said the reunification therapy by Christine Bassett, a licensed marriage and family therapist, has been harmful, abusive and counterproductive

When the other party is there perpetrator of abuse and the one with power, it very often is detrimental to have some sort of mediation or therapy/counseling. Because the abusers very often are able to manipulate the story so they are the victims in need of most support/compromise/thoughtfulness/time/money/basically ANY conceivable resource in life and relationships they will exploit.

Now I admit I am more familiar with the medical side of things but this entire dynamic gives me pause because it is so psych 101.

Like not just cops' but arent most holsters with saftey features built to be difficult for anyone but the wearer to access smoothly?

I'm not an enthusiast or anything and could be wrong, just an impression I've gotten over the years.

In my opinion : The money is MUCH more lucrative now because of data mining. That's it. That's the real product being sold and because it isn't encouraging innovation for innovation's sake, but for a bottom line or goal that almost certainly depends on features that gather ad much data as possible to sell... etc etc

I would be so excited if I saw this bird up close! What a cool bird with their little Mohawk, bright eye makeup and accents. Punk AF.

Oh my gosh do you remember the name of a show they had in roughly 05-10i era that was just featuring prototypes for future technology?

I remember it featuring robotic exoskeleton, something that I'm pretty sure was Kevlar or at least functions very similarly, a sidewalk that can generate power from people walking on it. I even think it featured an "invisibility cloak" so basically a mix of practicality and stages of development. It was fun. I feel like there were a lot of shows about futuristic stuff then on those channels (discovery package basically if u know u know) right before reality suffocated it. And I can't find anything about them and they aren't ever mentioned.

At this point are they just trying to be ironic?

Ok you called me out on a very specific flaw and consistent failure of mine! I have some weird wrong pronunciations they can lead then to wrong spelling and it has nothing to do with misunderstanding the context or whatever and just... my brain tends to read the shape of a word and that leads to problems if it isn't a word I hear often.

Thank you for your kindness and context and I think maybe that will help me not make the mistake in the future! At least after I play the game at least lol
