I would like to share the story of a very understandable but unfortunate mistake i made at work recently

So I'm weeding our ancient and terrible collection of children's books for the first time in possibly ever, and I'm making a decision about a book about migrant workers by Sandra Weiner, called Small Hands, Big Hands. And I'm not 100% sure and I go to just see if there's anything out there about this book's being notable in any way so I do an open web search for

"small hands big hands weiner"

And then I look at my results for a moment

and then at last I somberly add to the end of my search, "BOOK"

I love that you can just grab kittens. old cat have achy joints and a sense of dignity that you have to play into, so you gotta be deliberate and respectful in hoisting them, but if a kitten is whirlwinding past you, you can just reach out and snatch them. and they'll be like 'mamma mia, I never did nothing :p' and writhe around and lick your fingers. highly abductable animal

Here's a scenario:

You are offered a deal whereupon you will be provided with an enormous sum of money, enough that you would be guaranteed to never struggle financially again for the rest of your life. Everything you need would be taken care of, with plenty left over for luxuries, travelling, recreation, charity, taking care of your friends and family, kids' college fund, whatever.

However, the trade-off for this is that your ability to feel happiness and positive emotions would become muted to the point where it never increases beyond "mild contentment". You can feel fine, you can like things in a vague casual sort of way, but you would never experience delight again. You'd never feel like you're going to burst with excitement or experience passion so intense your chest aches. You like but you don't love, at least not with any real intensity behind it.

If you have enjoyed this game please consider reblogging, I'm curious about this one.
