“Old friend” either means an elderly dog or an individual of the same gender with whom you have been secretly in love for more than a decade. There are no other possible interpretations.
This is blatant archenemy erasure and I won’t stand for it
Bold of you to assume the archenemy isn’t the individual of the same gender you’ve been secretly in love with for more than a decade
Bold of you to assume the archenemy isn’t the senior dog
no, but really: flytraps use up a LOT of energy closing their traps. You know a lot of other plants that move that much? Tricking them into closing when there isn’t food there is indeed mean.
B-but… they’re plants… they’re devoid of sentience, right? They don’t “feel,” they’re more like little wind-up machines. Right? They don’t act on instinct, they’re… well… traps. You can’t actually be mean to a plant. Right??
I’m of the opinion that meanness is about the nature of the action, not awareness on the part of the target of the action.
Tricking them into closing their traps is actually harmful to them, since the energy expended in closing and then re-opening the trap isn’t replenished by having a tasty insect to digest.

Don’t mess with ADHD science students during their assessment period.
You have been warned.
It’s like glasses. Using them when you need them doesn’t give you super powers.
For someone who needs them, it brings you into the realm of what most other people experience naturally.
Well said!!
This is kinda wrong because there have been many studies showing the negative impacts of ADHD drugs and that how well a person concentrates is ill defined and biased. Some people think they should be smarter than they actually are so they think they can’t focus and get perscribed these pills. Some people simply aren’t interested in a certain topic and think it means they can’t focus so they get these pills. Kids are put on these pills because it makes them much more manageable to handle and often the recommendation isn’t coming from the parents, but from the teachers who don’t want to deal with hyper kids. But the thing is, kids will be kids and are high energy and talkative and a little bit rambunctious and teachers shouldn’t be encouraging parents to give their kids these pills to make their jobs easier because then it actually starts to hurt their mental developmental growth.
You’ve already been profoundly rebutted on this elsewhere, but I just wanted to note: If “hyper kids” become “much more manageable to handle” when you give them fucking stimulants?
