Did you draw it yourself or was is AI generated?

That's good news? 🤔

Soda from those machines is so inconsistent. Glass bottles are best, but hard to find.

I tried to create a "Starter Pack" on my own, but the profiles in the list weren't especially relevant. When I asked BlueSky to choose a "Starter Pack" for me, I received an error message.

I'll try again later today.

I looked at my profile, and I don't have anyone's account listed in my #feeds. I am #following a few people: a few I already know and some people whose writing I liked from that other site.

Still, I'm hopeful that I will see posts more relevant to my interests as the algorithm here learns.

Thanks for the article.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I agree, and at that there is a big difference between being in a relationship that just happens to have a big age gap, and deliberately seeking out someone much younger primarily because she (and it's usually "she") is much younger.

For me, it was "Before there was an internet, this is how we did it." 🤣

I thought I could handle it, as did my parents (though somewhat reluctantly). But when the situation became more intense, I found I was in too deep. So many red flags ignored.

For what it's worth, when we first met, I thought he was younger than he was, and he thought I was older than I was.

As a 19-year-old who dated a 30-year-old, this was the line for me: "Teenagers want to grow up as quickly as they can and, as a result, are very good at pretending, especially to themselves, that they’re ready for things that should still be beyond them."

"Awkward."

That's why I could never date someone with a child, especially a daughter, who was around my age.
