  • He’s the way he is because of how they treated Rose. He’s almost guaranteed to be ADHD, maybe ASD too. The psychologists at the time didn’t really recognize it until the 1960s, and that wouldn’t mean widespread acceptance of the idea. Before that they called it something else entirely, and the common use of drugs like Ritalin and Adderall for ADHD didn’t happen until the ‘80s even though they existed far earlier.

    So this dude was shipped off to boarding schools because he’s a “problem child” and a Kennedy. He was uncontrollable in schools, couldn’t stick to anything, got kicked out of boarding schools, and the only reason any of the schools put up with his shit at all was because he was a Kennedy. Got into drugs because that can happen to untreated ADHD people and people who have f’d up home lives. All this was swept under the rug by the Kennedys because they didn’t want the press to get wind of another Kennedy with “mental problems” and a drug problem. So he went untreated and unhelped. The worst thing that could happen to him was that he was born a Kennedy.
















  • We lean towards vegetarian, minimum meat consumption for both health and environmental reasons.

    As far as leaving food out…only foods that don’t require refrigeration. Bread, snacks, etc. Anything cooked that is still hot will be allowed to cool before going into the fridge, no need to make the fridge work harder, but it doesn’t stay out long enough to be a food safety problem.

    Uncooked foods that are dangers to bacteria growth like meats and the like don’t sit out ever or are carefully thawed. Eggs? They’re fine out of the fridge, just crack them individually into a small bowl to make sure they’re good before use. I think I’ve only ever had one bad egg left out and it was pretty obvious, they just last a lot longer if refrigerated. Greens and other veg just wilt and dehydrate if not used quickly unless refrigerated, but leaving them out isn’t an issue. They get washed before use.

    Anyway…I do most all the cooking and take food safety seriously. I’ve had one serious bout of food poisoning from a restaurant and that made death seem like a viable option vs the misery of constantly evacuating everything in your body for a few days, and the memory stuck with me. You can cook great food that’s been prepared to the correct and safe temperature, and I have little issue with foods that have been cooked like this, left out to cool and refrigerated, then reheated to a proper temperature.

    Also… thinking rice or pastas are fine left out because no animal proteins, think again.
