Or less sex by young people in general. Can’t have kids if you they aren’t doing the deed.https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/12/the-sex-recession/573949/
It is understood the ban has been introduced partly because of a recent surge in trading, which has raised concerns that investor cash could be put at risk by drink.
didn't want to start a whole new thread on this, but never thought beer chugging athletes would become "a thing". i realize it seems like a little harmless fun, but i think the media should leave this one just kinda fade away https://www.espn.co.uk/video/clip?id=27320800
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
With all this doom can you blame them?

The rate of moderate to severe depression rose from 23.2% in 2007 to 41.1% in 2018, while rates of moderate to severe anxiety rose from 17.9% in 2013 to 34.4% in 2018.Brutal.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
Not surprising. Back in my day, we didn't have social media to reinforce how pitiful and meaningless our lives were.
I spoke those stats to my wife, and her reaction was the same: Social media is to blame.It's hard to believe a complex subject could be boiled down to something that simple, though. Like "just keep your kids off Snapchat and they'll be fine" seems too easy.
You'd need to kick everyone else's kids off snapchat too.It's not the only thing, but I agree it is the biggest culprit
I blame the snowplow parents.If have structured your kid's life so that they have never encountered adversity of any kind, that is a recipe for disaster when they have to solve their own problems and have no tools to do so...
I >hope< I wouldn't be considered a snowplow parent -- but I can see why those requests were made.My kids are 11 and 13 and sometimes it's just so much fargging easier for me to take care of problems than explaining and re-explaining and convincing and asking and re-asking then finally demanding and re-demanding them take care of something.My powers of demanding action (outside of Scoop?) are severely lacking, much to my exasperation.
Seriously? If they texted you complaining that they were chilly in their dorm room, you wouldn't have just told them to put on a friggin' hoodie?
Complaining that the air conditioning is too effective in a dorm room? Christ...
Wait, MU dorms have aircon now? Such a puzzling engineering problem now to determine which room is blowing their hookah exhaust into the air return.
