Along with some weird retcons involving Iris West but hey, what matters is that Bart is introduced and it’s a really good and awesome story. Bart himself starts out as more of a plot device to further Wally's character growth by shoving even more responsibility on top of (…)

i hope that something like that would be used for growth but thinking about it, i feel like people would min/max it for payouts and not be genuine ... but then again, that's still spreading positivity, so maybe it would be worth it c'mon twitch pay people for being good!!!

(In case it isn't obvious, which it should be, growth in the number of households is far larger than population growth. I presume you aren't arguing for a return to 1971 housing conditions?)

I mute so many hot-take shit stirrers on here every day, I guess that's the price of growth.

The Demographic Outlook: 2024 to 2054

In CBO’s projections, the U.S. population increases from 342 million people in 2024 to 383 million people in 2054. Net immigration increasingly drives population growth, accounting for all population ...

look at me, not being petty. this is tremendous personal growth: Instead, i’m eating my feelings. #WhoDat anyway

Shit like this is frustrating because it's never enough help. It's always just barely enough to keep someone alive. There's no opportunity for growth to improve their life. Like got damn, one of the richest STATES shouldn't have the issues we do. It's all cutting off our nose to spite our face shit

Abaddon, my beloved [He/She/Hole] Abaddon's got so many fun quirks about her, she's a personification of my hedonism and indulgence. As a ghost-type his form is semi-malleable, and her cum is so calorie dense that anyone who partakes will walk away muuuch heavier. #AlethiaArtsNSFW#AlethiasToys
