You were alive in the 1930s?

My fav sun fact is that it burns 400 million tons of hydrogen each second, and will be doing that for billions of years. That's 400 million tons of the lightest possible element there is. Just absolutely insane how gigantic the mass of the sun is.

China has been doing that for years. They have invested heavily into African countries and built tons of infrastructure there that they then claim they own if the country defaults on debts.

The difference being that a lot of millennials know how to figure out how to do stuff on computers by doing basic research. I've found a lot of my Gen-z friends to be more helpless in that regard.

You can usually tell it that you want to skip bagging up to a certain number of items, at least at the stores near me.

Could also be the thousands each week he was receiving from his anti-vaccine non profit.

One side hates this country for how it has oppressed minorities, and committed atrocities in the name of profit. The other side thinks the country isn't committing enough atrocities against minorities. So I would say equating the two is disingenuous.

It's worse than that. As all international airports count as "the border" so any place within 100 miles (might be 200 actually) falls under that purview.

I'm so pissed it looks like any other Hollywood action flick. Why can't they just make one based on the mood that these artworks give off? I don't need another run of the mill action movie.

The hardest years are still ahead of you. I have ADHD and was undiagnosed until junior year of high school. I was doing amazing in school until things started getting hard enough that I couldn't just rely on my current knowledge and had to actually study. Make sure she develops strong study/organizational habits now before she gets into high school, because that's when things can really start to fall apart. It sounds like you are already doing a great job, and more than my parents did at that age, so you might have far less of an issue.

Doing it while they are actively commiting a genocide is tantamount to a war crime. No one should care about technicalities in a situation like war. These are real people, children, losing their lives.
