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

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?

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.

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)

Activie DieHards Deventer, кто бы мог подумать... такое в 2004? 😲 Фанаты футбольных Орлов и Крепкого орешка? Но ещё больше меня заинтересовал стикер Tractorpulling Lochem, в этом августе можно понюхать солярки аж в 40й раз🫣

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.

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😆

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!!!
