“There are mysteries to the universe we were never meant to solve,
but who we are and why we are here are not among them..those answers we carry inside.” - Optimus Prime
The club is a witchcraft ritual, people in the dark dancing around a circle to music usually on a substance barely coherent chanting words. Men tricking women with the presentation of having money/resources, women tricking men with looks that change when the lights come on both casting spells on the other

“They Changed My Daughter’s Last Name and Now She’s Gone”
“They are stealing the children… they are taking the children who are found alone.”
A desperate mother says her daughter was rescued after the earthquake, but when she went to claim her, she was allegedly told the child’s last name had been changed. The little girl has since disappeared.
She claims that many children found alone are being taken, with their identities altered.
My jaw dropped listening to this
There are people gaming the foster care system making $26,000 per month. If they can get their kids on medications and have them fail classes, they get paid more money (WOW)
“That's how bad people are making money out of foster care. So I go to this adoption assistant program — I meet this one woman and she's like, "Oh yeah, what you wanna do is you wanna get a D-rate kid." I was like, "What's a D-rate kid? What does that mean?" And she goes, "Oh honey, I make $28,000 a month off foster care." And I was like, "What?" And she was like, "Yeah, because I have this many kids." And she goes, "Here's the thing.
You wanna make sure they fail in school. If they fail in school and you can get them on medication, your rate goes up." Every time they don't pass a grade, your rate goes up because they're a more difficult kid.
Every time they need a medication, your rate goes up.
I think the intentions of increasing the rate was to incentivize good people to stick with it. What it did is incentivize all the wrong people. People who are in it for the money instead of for the love of a child”
I looked into this and found federal audits have been done proving that fosters kids are being over prescribed medications, up to 4x the normal rate and the foster parents get payment increases for it
Not only that but with behavioral issues it can bump payments up to over $6,000 per child per month
"This is not a fluke... Cabo Verde have really put in the work to try and get there."

I feel like sex is the exact opposite, healthy and enjoyable sex is done in the present moment. Thinking is actually a sign that you’re not in your body and most likely don’t feel safe enough to be in your body.
Fred Rogers met with a child psychologist every week for 22 years to build his show. She shaped everything: every script, prop, and song. The whole point was to give a child's nervous system time to slow down. In 1984, a single regulatory decision ended all of it.
The psychologist was Dr. Margaret McFarland, who co-founded the Arsenal Family and Children's Center alongside Benjamin Spock and Erik Erikson. She and Rogers understood that the prefrontal cortex in children, the part of the brain that controls impulse, emotion, and attention, takes decades to fully develop. At the start of every episode, Rogers tied his sneakers and changed his sweater while children settled in. Those pauses were intentional, designed to help a child's nervous system shift into a calmer, more focused state.
What ended it had nothing to do with child development science. In 1984, Reagan's FCC chairman Mark Fowler abolished the advertising limits that had protected children's programming from commercial pressure. Toy companies moved within months. Between 1984 and 1985, cartoons tied to toy lines increased by 300%, from a handful of shows to more than 40 animated series. In almost every case, the toy was designed first. The cartoon was built to sell it.
Researchers later put numbers to what parents were already noticing. A 2011 study in Pediatrics from the University of Virginia tested 60 four-year-olds across three groups: one watching SpongeBob, which cuts scene every 11 seconds; one watching a slow PBS show, which cuts scene every 34 seconds; and one drawing. Nine minutes later, all three took tests on attention, impulse control, short-term memory, and problem-solving. The SpongeBob group scored significantly worse across every measure.
In the 1970s, children began watching television around age 4. Research from pediatrician Dimitri Christakis found that by 2009, the average age of first screen exposure had dropped to 4 months, as the content got faster and the audience got younger. Researchers separately found that each additional hour of daily screen time at ages 1 or 3 raised the risk of attention problems at age 7 by 9%.
