How can your body replicate the feeling of falling from high altitudes in a nightmare if you’ve never fallen like that before?

One reason for this disparity is that kids’ food requests meant drastically different things to the parents. For parents raising their kids in poverty, having to say “no” was a part of daily life. Their financial circumstances forced them to deny their children’s requests — for a new pair of Nikes, say, or a trip to Disneyland — all the time. This wasn’t tough for the kids alone; it also left the poor parents feeling guilty and inadequate. Next to all the things poor parents truly couldn’t afford, junk food was something they could often say “yes” to. Poor parents told me they could almost always scrounge up a dollar to buy their kids a can of soda or a bag of chips. So when poor parents could afford to oblige such requests, they did. Honoring requests for junk food allowed poor parents to show their children that they loved them, heard them and could meet their needs. As one low-income single mother told me: “They want it, they’ll get it. One day they’ll know. They’ll know I love them, and that’s all that matters.” Junk food purchases not only brought smiles to kids’ faces, but also gave parents something equally vital: a sense of worth and competence as parents in an environment where those feelings were constantly jeopardized. To wealthy parents, kids’ food requests meant something entirely different. Raising their kids in affluent environment, wealthy parents were regularly able to meet most of their children’s material needs and wants. Wealthy parents could almost always say “yes,” whether it was to the latest iPhone or a college education. With an abundance of opportunities to honor their kids’ desires, high-income parents could more readily stomach saying “no” to requests for junk food. Doing so wasn’t always easy, but it also wasn’t nearly as distressing for wealthy parents as for poor ones.

mayor williams saying “they are their daddy’s sons aren’t they?” about the mcelroy boys is simultaneously a huge compliment and the biggest read I’ve ever witnessed

[feralenby-moved]

It also means the Mayor knows what kind of person Clint is which is just hilarious to me

[shock]

that’s how it is… on this bitch of an earth.

How much does Randy Bish make for this, and how often does he get shot on the job?

[agoodcartoon]
