Pro tip: Cut the baguette in a 45° angle.
It makes the first bite easier, and it looks better.
Trump.
He left the mess for someone else to clean up and now it's finally time for the usual golfing grifting.
Remember his last term? He "worked" a few months making wild statements and setting up ICE. Then he went golfing for 3.5 years.
He's getting old. It took him almost a year to get to that point this time.
"Sovereignty over military bases."
They already had that on Greenland since 1951. As recent as last summer Denmark even approved the same setup in mainland Denmark, so that the potential future American military bases in Denmark could be allowed to operate their bases under American laws instead of local laws, just like an embassy.
Needless to say, this is wildly unpopular at the moment.
The spectrum:
No doubt. I'm glad I had my 20s to roam around before getting kids, but I'm even more happy to still be young enough that I can travel the world and participate in physical activities with my kids as well. Having kids doesn't have to mean giving up on experiencing life. They're part of it, and they're the best people to share it with. In hindsight, I probably could have cut my party years short by five years without missing a thing. Having kids was the best thing in my life. It might not be for everybody.
I'm in the late 40s now, and I feel it's too late to have more by now. I know people who do in that age. Divorced couples going for the late common child or DINKs who finally made enough money. It looks really tough for them. It's temporarily hard work for a couple of years. It's hard if you're young and don't have money, but it's also hard when you're old and less agile and physical on top.
what is stopping women to have kids later in life
Menopause.
But anyway, it's generally a good idea to have children earlier, because you'll get to spend more time with them and you won't be the weird old parent in the school. Also health reasons and whatnot.
As for misogyny, I think it's mostly from one generation to the next and also more often women to women. Most guys that I know would rather postpone having children as long as possible for the same reasons that you've stated.
Yes it takes some time to decode, but it has lots of info.
It would be nice to somehow compare distances, time and population density as well.
Americans drive a lot, but they don't actually drive very far for work, whereas in Europe it's rather common to work in a different city than where you live. Asia has the highest population density and this benefits them both in finding local work and building public transport.
I found this picture showing the whole world.
I'm not following this 4D chess.
