Just saw the Andor trailer.
The most interesting part of the trailer.... was my mistake.
Ok, there's nothing interesting there. But it seems I wasn't the only one who got trolled.

@WashedOutGundamPilot @Rudolf_von_Goldenbaum @Bill_Boone @LukeAlmighty Read "Why We Sleep" (Matthew Walker). It's extremely important that teens get more sleep than adults - IIRC their natural/unfucked-with average is about 10 hours a night. Public school and work schedules (for both parents and kids) make this hard to impossible. Kids suffer and society lives with the fucked up results.

I have realized recently, just how much does it drive mothers mad, when the teen boys eat protein. A woman in a shop spilled, that her crazy son is willing to eat a sausage with milk.

Well? So what's the problem? I used to have a horrible sleep, but at LEAST my parents understood, that there is nothing strange about that I ate sausages, milk and mayo every other day. (And I am much taller then both of my parents.)

@Rudolf_von_Goldenbaum @Bill_Boone @LukeAlmighty It really comes into focus when you see the Xbox 360 generation against their older brothers. When you see them all lined up side to side you wonder why the hell so many people born 5 years apart almost always have a height disparity.

When you’re a teen, your body has to use those growth plates in your long bones to break down the bone and re-build it over and over, like building a bridge extension while keeping traffic over it. The problem is that it’s very sensitive to activity, so it only starts work in the wee hours of the night when it’s sure you’re in a deep sleep. Way too many guys stay in a high energy state gaming, then pretend to go to bed at midnight just to spend the next 3 hours talking to girls and masturbating. A last-minute 2 hour nap isn’t enough for the body to start construction.

End result? You have guys who are 5’8, barely taller than their mother, while their older siblings are 6’4. But they all wear the same shoe size. I’m just trying to get the news out because there’s a very shitty, boomerite take that sleep is by its very nature lazy, and that’s not the case. Telling your kid “up and at ‘em lazy ass” when it’s not time sensitive and he’s able to do his work otherwise is just stealing his future happiness to make yourself feel better in the moment. The dating market is cruel, every half inch of height you take from him is one less grandchild to brag about to the rest of your friends at lunch in 12 years

The worst part of these stories is the guessing game.

Guess what words mean their total opposite:

@PinochetsCommieCopter
Eugenics is evil, and should never be done.
Now, go to a illness orgy.

@galena @georgia
True.
I know, that this was a prime example of what he WAS talking about, but also, this case would be easy to fix, since the question is about mothers unwillingness to spend time with her own kid.
