Yes, I was an early reader as well, but let’s be honest — at age four, there are just many things you do not, and cannot, understand about the world yet. That is going to change the way in which you comprehend reading material, particularly if it is adult-level reading material.

Yeah, I meant less in a vocab sense and more in a plot sense. I mean, I read To Kill a Mockingbird for the first time when I was ten, but I didn’t really understand what was going on in the book until I was a few years older. Less about the words, more about the lack of life experience.

Idk, because genius children are weird, and sometimes they grow up to be only as smart as the rest of us.

“Kempenich said one should consider what might happen if someone panics when coming upon a group of people gathered along a public roadway.”

I’ve decided to be an asshole and guess that most of them are picture books rather than straight chapter books. Which of course is still very impressive.

4 years old. And 4 million times more fluent than our peotus.

Who can even stand Zoe Saldana at this point? I have had it up to here with her ever since she’s was the rudest guest judge in Project Runway history and that was long before she ever did Nina and said a bunch of dumb shit about race.

What...

This man is a despicable racist. He deserves every insult thrown his way. Every negative word said about him should be said hundreds of times.

Maybe she pulled out because she can’t find something to wear. I hear all the dress shops are completely sold out.

Oh me too! People are so surprised that a vegan gets enough Fe but shit, it’s in EVERYTHING I eat basically, it’s in tofu, in oatmeal, etc.

Truth. Non-human mammals may engage in placentaphagy in the wild because it provides them with iron and contains some opiates for pain relief. But I’m a human, I have vitamins and kale and access to pharmaceuticals. Some studies (with small sample sizes) show a lower incident of PPD in moms who ate the placenta, but I…

Agreed! Yep, sorry, I can’t get my head around eating a placenta. It’d be like sucking on my used tampon.

I don’t know anything about the dude you’re talking about, but every vegan on earth has heard the “LOL oral sex isn’t vegan!” taunt a million times before. For those of us who are women, we generally get an even more annoying variation along the lines of “Damn, you’re vegan? I was sure I was going to get you to do…

Trick question. It’s not food, it’s medical waste.

At first I thought that would get really repetitive really quickly, but after further reflection, I think men’s feelings can be hurt in so many unique and interesting ways that your idea has real potential. There could be an entire season devoted to how much men’s feelings can be hurt by remakes with female casts.

There is an entire universe of feminist critique of porn that has nothing to do with puritanism.

Well sure they raped her, but she caused them “sustained shame, mortification and hurt feelings” and I think we can all agree that there’s no more heinous crime than making a man feel even remotely uncomfortable for even a second!

If you’re an actual in demand, pretty well known porn star and people try and pull this shit, imagine how bad it is for nobodies.

I’d bet a lot of money this is a special needs kid whose mom “couldn’t handle his behavior.” And anyone who questioned why he was so thin and so small and why he was locked up would be told that it was all because of his “disorder.”
