@abetterjulie @alis the last Panchen Lama was kidnapped by the Chinese government at age 6, just days after he was recognized as the reincarnation of his predecessor by the current Dalai Lama. So it’s understandable that he doesn’t want to subject another kid to that.

@Forestofglory what a mood 😅

@bea they are! ours arrived late this year so M is wondering if yours did also

@weirdestate guess i’m the old house freak because i think it’s charming 😅

@Alexis @kurt not necessarily, my older sibling after learning to read presumed chaos was pronounced as one syllable (“chows” basically) and still spent quite some time convinced that the work “kay-oss” they kept hearing was an unrelated synonym

@alys as a fellow vegetarian i will acknowledge that a couple chickens will keep the bugs down in the vegetable gardens & provide fertilizer without increasing the necessary productive load too seriously so they’re reasonably efficient as far as improving the self sufficiency of a small lot. The goats…good if that’s land that can’d be farmed for whatever reason (too steeply sloped, poor soil) but if they’re putting fruit trees in that seems unlikely….

@lolrengaymer i would only use aged up as a tag if i was specifically making them older than they canonically are at that point in time

so if they’re 16 in canon and your fic is set 4 years later and they’re 20, thats post canon to me but if you make them 20 during canon thats aged up. and if you set a fic 4 years post canon where they’re 24 (thus implying they were 20 during canon) thats both technically i guess

@Syressa the last time i was in this situation i had a bunch of random sample packets of lube from pride so i used those instead of trying to decant lube into a TSA-acceptable bottle. they didn’t comment or have any issues with it

(semi-relatedly, when i’ve traveled with covid tests those are theoretically exempt from liquids regs as medical devices but my experience was that they didn’t even flag as containing enough liquid for them to ask why i had stuff that hadn’t been separated out)

i wasn’t carrying a ton of toys due to space restrictions but i don’t recall having issues there either

@lapstrakeleptocephalapse i guess there is a risk that it gets so big that it destroys my house or something, hopefully i could take enough chunks off each day that it never got that huge
