You’re correct. I didn’t mean that 40 was itself too old, only that there is a certain point at which they’ll be too old for biological kids. No one is ever too old to find a new relationship though.

At some point we’re too old to have biological children, yes, but my 72 year old father has been in a new relationship for about a year and they seem super happy together.

(Edited for clarity.)

Have you tried palak paneer pizza? It might be a Baltimore thing. So good.

I can’t believe no one said the things under the bed, or the things looking in through the window. On the rare occasion that I’m home alone I still jump several feet to get into bed. Yes I’m too old for this but it’s the truth.

Are there lots of French who can’t easily tell left from right? I feel like one of the few sad Americans who can’t. Would love to know why. I always chalked it up to a lack of coordination.

Love the pantaloons being anatomically accurate. Also that feathered hand holding the pipe… Super nice.

Really? Wow, what part of the world are you in?

Every Central American I know actively thinks it’s gross. In Germany, peanut butter (when you can find it) has a huge American flag on the jar, and most Germans won’t eat it.

WHAT IS THE POOP KNIFE

Peanut butter is weirdly American, but as an American, I can’t believe other countries not only aren’t obsessed with PB, but often don’t even like it. Wtf world. You’re missing out.

I just broke my first bone! The x-rays were exciting, and the tech emailed me the pictures!

I think it’s so cool to see what happens to your brain with the effects of various chemicals. We’re so convinced of our own sanctity, and feeling the world differently just disavows you of that in a few minutes.

I think LSD should be a common coming of age right. We’d all be better off, and better for each other, if we could realize we’re each just a tiny blip in the world.

What are the implications of a… Wrongthink?

Fucking love Mexico. I’m not Mexican, but do speak Spanish… Hot dang it’s a parade down the street literally every day, everyone is super out-of-their-way friendly, and the things they make are amazing: furniture, glass, textiles.

I would love to live there but the cartel violence is terrifying, as is the lack of water. Also… They don’t want me!

Sorry, but it just gets more expensive to care for them later. Aim for at least a yearly cleaning/exam so that they can catch issues before they become serious. Twice a year is better.

And find a dentist that is conservative about fillings. My dentist almost never recommends procedures unless there is actual decay, and I trust them to not push work on me that I don’t need.

What about sugar-free gum?

… Wait, don’t reuse dental floss? Oh no. I thought the point was only to loosen gunk!

I love Bernie, and would have given a kidney for him to have gotten the nomination way back when, but it feels like you just got jumped. Sorry bud.

My old man
He’s a singer in the park
He’s a walker in the rain
He’s a dancer in the dark
We don’t need no piece of paper
From the city hall
Keeping us tied and true
No, my old man
Keeping away my blues

We’re lost

Try this: when you first started working, what were people with 20 years of experience making in your industry? How does that compare to what you make with the same 20 years of experience now?

My income has not doubled in the 10 years I’ve been working full time. But, more importantly, the amount of money people with 10 years of experience were making when I first started is not drastically different from what I am making with the same experience now.
