Man, my parents were cool as shit about this. And I think it had really good consequences for me later on, like in college.

Sex was positively viewed, but strict about protection (rightly so), and drugs were described as a spectrum with weed being very low, and the scary drugs (heroine) being very scary. They were honest about wanting me to wait for drugs and booze till I was more adult, but let me have a few parties with friends where everyone crashed at their house. It was super fun, and very badass feeling. I got to college and was like .... Meh? On partying.

Definitely not the only way to go about it, but the honesty helped me weigh consequences of it all a bit better, I think.

Temu Eva Braun is amazing.

I keep saying this but she's somehow only 31. It's astonishing.

Wow, really well said. Extremely important that everyone reads this info above

Edit: thanks for the gold, kind stranger

She's a terrible human being, for a variety of reasons, but also she's somehow only 31?? The hate has aged her faster than Palpatine

I find this to be largely true, especially of older people, for foreigners who live there. But not to discourage a visit: you are very welcomed as a tourist in most places in Japan, and any Japanese you speak will be appreciated.

Seconding OpenCourseWare. I used that a lot before and during undergrad (engineer with math minor).

I do recommend checking out the "fun" math videos as well because you'll learn a lot and it's fun, like Numberphile, 3 blue 1 brown, etc

I expect it's a South Park reference. 'member South Park?

Actually, missing because of a high-side on a motorcycle years ago. I did break some bones, but also tore through the ligament. Well, I guess it died from lack of being attached or whatever and was gone by the time they got an MRI on it

It allowed the bicep to regularly pop out of the humeral groove, which I assure you was not pleasant

I had some chronic shoulder pain for years. Primary physician was like "yeah that sucks". 2 specialists were like "yeah, old collarbone injury I guess? Take Advil"

Years later, third specialist opinion found a missing ligament and did surgery.

Moral of the story is that you should get a few opinions here, maybe the first isn't right

From a philosophy standpoint, Victor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning. It's a brutally tough read, but a very interesting perspective of a Holocaust survivor and some of the more "mundane" parts (which were still horrific) in between the parts most people know about. The philosophy that follows is interesting.

It's certainly not without it's faults and criticisms, though.
