@BIG_PARMENIDES While there are challenges to 40+ parenting, there are lots of benefits for all involved & after making perfectly healthy babies in my very late 30s & early 40s, I'm not sure I'm done yet & my mid 40s spouse agrees we might want to give it 1 more go...๐
Family = good. Jump in!!
@charlesmurray I have a daughter that learned to read โ truly read โ shortly after her third birthday. While I will admit that we read her books and taught her the basics of phonics, her capacity and motivation to master reading has been entirely innate and self-driven. Pretty magical to me...

@SketchesbyBoze Been reading bedtime books to my 3.5 year old since birth for about an hour every night. Just after her 3rd birthday, we taught her how to sound-out words. She can now read fairly long sentences with punctuation, complex vocabulary words, and children's books.

Back in my day, the big paranoia of the dating scene was the "dinner whore" thing, cuz $$.
@AnnaLeptikon This has been one of my most important realizations of young adulthood โ people are patterns, not proclamations. Observe the patterns if you seek truth. The rest is marketing.
@garberchov@jakozloski Relative to the rest of the "I" grouping, it only ranks second, though. It's just clear that people prefer all the "E" types across the board.
@komonews Pit bull. We've all heard this story before, and it's always a pit bull that went randomly berserk.
Now, nobody will admit that, or report it, of course...
