I don't get your point. It takes non-human animals just a few months if not weeks to be out and about after being born. It takes humans some 18 years to reach a similar level of maturity, development. A himan 18 -month old is much more vulnerable than most 18-m.o animals.fresh_42 said:I finally figured out why I so many baby mammals initiate a cuteness attack in me but not so homo sapiens. Easy: they are not ready when they are born. It should take much longer than it does. And the strange part is, that it's not due to body geometry, it's due to the energy balance. They start to need more than a breeding mother can provide. They are kicked out by hunger! At least I don't find fresh born marsupials cute either.
Energy household?fresh_42 said:Well, I find baby elephants cute, and I can only remember one fresh born sapiens which I found cute. It was a little finnish boy who when given to his mother looked as if he just thought about the universe, the life and everything. Like a little Buddha with deep wrinkles in his forehead. Guess it was rather this association than the baby which amused me. And that thing with the energy balance was actually new to me. Before I thought it was mother's pelvis which set the constraints. No, it's the energy household.
They want to buy into the good things society offers but not accept demands, expectations most have on themselves. Go live in the #% wilderness, in your own society.fresh_42 said:This idiotic vaccination debate is always about MMR. Now, do anti-vaxxers also refuse polio and tetanus?
Balance. The fetus demands more nutrition than the placenta can provide.WWGD said:Energy household?
And plenty of resources once they are outside. They are vulnerable for a long period of time. Unlike most other animals( though humans are not as exposed to predators).fresh_42 said:Balance. The fetus demands more nutrition than the placenta can provide.
How can/could you tell? These days, ear buds and phones are invisible...thirty and forty years ago, definitely a nut case; today...?WWGD said:talking to himself.
Edit: The topic , context suggested it, but you're right that I can't be certain. He started talking at one point, without an introduction, i.e., something like hello, what you doing, etc. you often hear when a conversation begins.Bystander said:How can/could you tell?

Sorry to hear that Evo.Evo said:I'm not ok. My oldest daughter Spawn, her young cat had cancer and underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiation within the last year, and we were told she had been cleared of cancer.
A couple of weeks ago, she took a terrible turn for the worse, it was the cancer, she stopped eating, she was failing fast. My daughter had a home vet come and put her to sleep tonight at 6pm. I am gutted. I am devastated.
That was her child. That was my grandchild. The holidays are destroyed.
Thank you. I can't even eat. They are like family.WWGD said:Sorry to hear that Evo.
For my wife and I, they basically are family. . . and you're left with a huge hole in yourEvo said:They are like family.

I'm so sorry OCR, it never gets easier. I think it's the fact that they give their love so unconditionally and are so dependent upon us that makes the loss feel even deeper.OCR said:For my wife and I, they basically are family. . . and you're left with a huge hole in your
