DrP’s friend is probably one of my coworkers (although I have no information about her husband’s reproductive viability!).
My own mid-20s daughters have both sworn off having kids, at least currently. One is an engineer and the other working on a PhD in a biological science.

Kid 1 has two kids of her own, her husband just got himself fixed. He's very docile now.
Kid 2 has no intention of having kids.

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

i’ve accumulated a boat-load of cultural goodies throughout the years during my international travels. some might be worth a decent chunk of change, but there is so much sentimentality that i doubt i’d ever sell any of it

We've started doing the Swedish "death cleaning"--not because we think we're going to die, but because of our imminent move to Colorado. Our new location will afford both my wife and I large studio spaces and a nice gallery space, but our living space will be reduced by 75%. It started with shredding old tax documents and expired legal documents and has ballooned into digitalizing our huge album collection, scrutinizing our art collection, and pondering which to keep as source books from our library. The attachment to all is mostly sentimental, but like the olfactory sense, the memories are real and almost tangible. Yes, we have valuable collector's art and albums, and books, but less space to store them when we move. Hopefully my son will thank us, under his breath, for all doing most of the work he would have to do upon our passing . . .

Re: Automobiles
some of my favorite items carry an olfactory experience in their own right; items that actually had practical function before they were gifted to me. irreplaceable, really, but things i doubt would be appreciated if they were to get handed downdefixione wrote: ↑Mon Jun 06, 2022 7:05 pmTough call . . .KUTradition wrote: ↑Mon Jun 06, 2022 5:08 pm guess i could start selling off all my shit

Driving my mom’s car today, with mine in the shop. Hers (pretty normal RAV4) has one of those rear view mirrors that she has set to function as a camera-linked screen.
It’s terrible.
Because the lighting isn’t natural, and because the image doesn’t move with your body, and because of a tiny but perceptible lag, and an even more noticeable motion blur, you really have to THINK about “seeing” what’s in the mirror.
Very much one of those “we spent so much time figuring out whether we could, that we never asked if we should” features.

I have no clue who Andrew Tate is, but self-doxing on Twitter that leads to his arrest while flaunting his enormous emissions is hilarious (giggle)
