But why you is?
Sell copper, buy drugs -- be happy. A happy childhood is a path to a healthy adulthood.
Fuck you! My weird, ethereal mesh parents let me link to their copper all the time, and I turned out just fine. The problem is all these underparented kids nowadays with their undeveloped third eyes, unprepared for the wondrous horrors of existence.
