And my toddlers both just turned it back around!

I’m actually still trying to get one to work… might need to step back and make sure I can get base Dolphin to run it first!

Then you realize, since your raises no longer even keep up with inflation, your current job is now underpaying you - making it more difficult to hold on to what you do have.

Is that a situation where you can write up your analysis, report the number as correct… and start getting cited in place of the paper with broken attributions?

As the parent of a preschooler, he would absolutely say this. He didn’t have the patience to sit through such a long movie at that age, but he’d play while shows are on, and he’d definitely catch any intense emotional or musical moments.
And he could certainly plot, if a bit hamfistedly! At a little before three, he’d come up with some excuse for me to leave the room whenever he wanted to do something he wasn’t supposed to (“Mommy wants you!”). If that kid realized she’d been upset by the scene, I could totally see her taking that one step further to make others upset at an opportune moment!
- Comment on Does anyone feel like an actual adult? 7 months ago:
As a 41 year old, when I call someone in their early-mid 20s a kid, there’s no derision intended. Think about how you relate to someone who’s 12 or 16 when you’re 20 or so - they might be quite capable, even fun to hang out with; but their life experiences also give them a clearly different outlook. And, like as not, you feel a little more interest in making sure they’re getting along all right (at least I do!)
As you age, that doesn’t really change - but the “target age” where that comes into play follows you up! So at 26, you feel that way about people just coming into high school; at 30-35, about people getting out of college and starting their careers. My oldest kid is 6; and I feel this way now about most of the parents of my kids’ classmates!
It can turn into something condescending, depending on the person; but I think it’s usually more of a statement that “I remember being where you were.”

I’ve got the cheaper commercial driven one, but I only see commercials on my Roku - if I browse to the Web site, it’s still commercial free!

This was exactly where my mind went! I’m still trying to remember which novel it was.
