@jd A friend of mine can no longer read paper books. Only electronic ones. Eyesight problems. You can't enlarge the font on a paper book...

@bontchev @jd At some point, having reading glasses handy is a must, because you can't generally zoom physical objects. Try passing a thread in the eye of a needle with a phone 😜.

So the solution of that miracle is not to wear a bra?

@distincteclare @bontchev @jd While wearing a push-up bra can certainly be considered as "zooming physical objects", maybe you were referring to the thread/needle part as a woman's thing like it's the '50 again? 🙃

I'm not sure if I understand you well – sorry!

However, instead of pointing to the obvious and intended I wanted to highlight another striking difference between the two sides of the bench. A difference I could hardly explain, if asked: Does it show some sort of emancipation? Linked to reading books? Or, on the contrary, is it misogynous in some way?
What's your opinion?

Oh, maybe there is the main misunderstanding that I didn't want to react to your post but to the discussion on that comic in general.

So I misplaced my post, another mistake of mine.

@distincteclare @bontchev @jd Ah! I got your meaning regarding the comics, you where referring to the lady on the left that seems not to wear a bra. Ok I got it, good one (and not misogynous I find).
No offense anyway, enjoy!

@jd I once saw a book about social learning. But then my phone rang. Don't know what it was all about...

@jd I don't get why parents try to infuse their kids with their own nostalgia.

The enormous amounts of hours I spent alone reading books my kids spend socializing with others playing games.

I'm happy for them.

RE

That's the important thing.... you judge their quality socializing as good

The tablets and phones are different than paper, they can be ⭕encouraged to be productive
🟢I like audio ebooks‼️

⭕So, how do you get your kid to look up difficult words and build a study vocab list?

(One kid uses a phone the other kid reads a book)

⭕Well, she underlines the words and later, makes a list in a notebook, smile.

@jd @europlus Didn’t work for vegetables, much to my parents’ annoyance

However — at a guess, and it’s a big one — I’m going to pop that into the big bucket of unexpected outcomes from undiagnosed coeliac disease (which, I want to remind listeners, is 80% of all of them — IT COULD EVEN BE YOU)

What do YOU think your life would be like if most of certain nutrients were denied to you for half your life? Yeah, a ton of copium, all second nature, because you don’t quite “work right”.

It’s basically living life sitting on a 3-legged stool that’s supposed to have 4. Things can work and will work, but they’ll go wrong quite often compared to others. You might even get expert at it.

So in this case — I was craving basic sugar & salt & fat too much, because none of it really absorbed properly, and “too much” was basically the normal routine. Eventually it impacts your diet preferences. Certainly lowers your baseline mood and attention span.

@jd I honestly wish it was that easy. I’ve been reading to my boys since they were born and there are stacks and shelves of books everywhere in our home. I read in just about all my spare time and never leave home without a book. Are they readers—nope! 🫤

@jd Exactly that. Recently I saw a mother with her 4 children on the train, each reading on an ebook reader.

@jd so true

I'm a reader from a mother who read too, and set the example by always reading and taking us to the library and even a father who not so often reading as having less time also read with us and was reading particularly papers in his case.

Books were always around the house, and of course in my case elder brothers reading too

Two of them read analogue books, the other two ebooks, or listen to readed books...
