Babies are like the One Ring: first you carry them in a "pocket"/on a "chain", then you "put them on" & start calling them "My Precious" while separation feels like the "Cracks of Doom", & if you do leave them on their own, you turn on the "Great Eye" to... to keep an eye on them

@pepijndevos Where will it be ingrained? Will it be something that can always be balanced with critical thinking, or could it override rational thought, like the limbic system does?

@marinwaves For me, "I have a daughter" or "my daughter is 1" mean "I'm a mother of this child", "I gave birth to her a year ago". But there're also a feeling of responsibility, the legal meaning of it, and what not. Arguing against ownership is ok, reductionism isn't.

@marinwaves Have you read 'Orbital' (Booker Prize 2024) yet? I loved its humanistic poeticism. The political criticism was understandable but misdirected (it's never been easy to preach "There is neither Jew nor Greek" in times of war)

@marinwaves 12 Angry Men (another classic title that I find fitting your description, but you could modify the number acc. to the number of its members)

@CrazysdiamondN "В каждом маленьком ребёнке…"🎶🐒😉

[Sofya Kopelyan @kopelsof]

@CrazysdiamondN Горячие поздравления и с тем, и с другим! 🥳 👏 🧡

[Sofya Kopelyan @kopelsof]

@CrazysdiamondN Вот да! Буквально сегодня утром занимались с моим папой сравнительным системоведением и пришли ровно к тому же выводу 😄

@marinwaves I would first define "older". I feel there's a "golden hour" of open-mindedness somewhere between adolescence and advancing years when we are more open-minded. At all other times, you're either framing your mind or protecting it.

@pepijndevos @higherordercomp Ahem, _poopy_ diapers aren't really _your_ concern, are they? 🤭🤫 Unlike DIY attic renovations 🏡🪚🔨💪

[Sofya Kopelyan @kopelsof]

@pepijndevos @OneEyedAlpaca Because I wasn't with you😅

@marinwaves By size, or one could say, by type (soup plates/dinner plates/breakfast bowls etc.) An easy choice when the vast majority of your plates are... white😆

[Sofya Kopelyan @kopelsof]

@CrazysdiamondN Ого, я даже и не надеялась, что существует такая опция, мастер в тот же день! Видели новость про отмену концерта почти 100-летнего дирижера в Мюнхене, когда маэстро уже стоял на сцене? Ложная сигнализация, перезагрузка не помогла, а штатный электрик вышел на пенсию. Тепла вам!!!

[Sofya Kopelyan @kopelsof]

@VosAldo Too arbitrary for my taste, zzz as in boring

[Sofya Kopelyan @kopelsof]

@CrazysdiamondN И то хлеб! 😄

[Sofya Kopelyan @kopelsof]

@marinwaves Too relatable 😅

[Pepijn @pepijndevos]

Our baby is such a lechetarian!

[Sofya Kopelyan @kopelsof]

@marinwaves Serenity, depth of thought, generosity. A great date to be born on, my father happens to celebrate today, too. Hope you've had a great one!
