don't know about baby formula. So I have more things and I would say that the wait for goods that I ordered by mail is not too bad. I've probably ordered I don't know 25 things by Amazon in the past month say. Twenty-five things. I think one of them is and it's a trivial product delayed a month. That's about it. And it was trivial. All right. Ports don't work that way somebody says. They don't wo…
← Previous segment →he Amber Heard or Amber Turd trial has definitely alerted us to how a certain group of people act you know with projection and gaslighting and lying about everything and blah blah blah blah. And it seems to me that this looks exactly like something's going on there. So there's either you know personality disorder, mental illness which are sort of cousins, or some kind of change in medication or drug situation.
But watching somebody at this level of prominence watching him sort of melt down in public, I hate to use that meltdown because people use that about me whenever I get on a rant he's melting down so I withdraw that word, but there's something going on there. And I think that we have to be careful about knowing what is a political opinion and what is a health problem. I'm not sure we're good at that.
Cope is about word yeah. I feel like we should be a little smarter about knowing what's a health problem.
Wall Street Journal has an article in which they talk about a study that said with kids who have healthy early attachments to a caregiver such as a parent, so if they have a good loving protected relationship with a parent at least one, they'll be in better shape to withstand the lure of social media and the social media won't bother them as much because they've had some love and care from a parent.
Now that's one interpretation: is that the kids who had early good associations with parents can resist social media better. Here's the other interpretation. Every kid is different. How about that? How about that's the whole explanation. How about some kids are born the kind of kid who will easily form an attachment to an adult? Do you think every kid is capable of forming a strong attachment to an adult? It's not up to the parent. The kid is part of the process right?
Have you not been around enough kids to know that some form attachments with adults and some don't? And the adult would act the same every time. It's always the kid. The kid decides if they have an attachment to you. You don't get to decide that. It's not your decision how attached a kid is going to be to you. It's the kid's decision. And have you ever seen you know three kids raised the same but one of them has an attachment one doesn't? I mean you know this is this is such an obviously fl

awed study because to me the biggest part of this is just that the kids are biologically genetically they have different impulses. Some of them have an impulse to be close to a parent some don't. Or some act differently. Maybe they have the same desire but they act differently to get it. And so I would say this is yet another study that you shouldn't put any credibility in whatsoever. Well here'…
