Maybe, but you don't often hear people call Jimmy Hendrix a guy who thought about guitar a lot. There is talent augmenting the interest. (Note: I'm not a fan of Trump, but I do think it is important to understand he's strengths so he can be beaten in the election).

Of course, we all should vote Dem so we still have a democracy in the future. And I'm not overly picky, so long as they can win. So that should be the question - and if Biden's age impacts his ability to win, the Dems should choose someone who can.

The man is horrible generally speaking, but he is a marketing genius.

His age is a problem to the point where some people are worried about voting for him. And the Democrats have to include that fact in their calculus as they make decisions and move forward - or they will lose.

I recently discovered Kyra Parsi and power read all of her books. In fact, I'm rereading Half Hearted now.

I'm not sure they defined what an official act is yet. So I assume that will be challenged by Trump in the lower courts and make it's way up to the scouts. And based on this season's decisions, I would assume they find in favor of Trump.

I am not on the spectrum (I follow the community because I have 2 kids on the spectrum). I did, however, go to high school and also thought I was smarter than everyone else. I was probably smarter than some people. But as I've grown up, my perspective has shifted: (1) smarts are genetic, like being pretty, and both are like winning the genetic lottery. In contrast, people who work hard have earned it. (2) Being academically gifted does not always translate into success later in life. EQ, hard work and luck also play into it. Anywho, I thought I would pass that along because I'm not so sure you are a narcissist, but maybe just haven't had as much experience. Best of luck to you!

Oh yeah! He would be an excellent choice (if not this cycle, maybe in the future).

Oh, thanks for the clarification.

I'm one of those weirdos that likes to work (like I would still work 12 hour days if I won the lottery), even if I wouldn't expect others to do the same. So this type of article is relatable. Didn't mean to imply that others needed to work this way.

My son (10 yo) has a few very strong interests that he talks about pretty much nonstop. We haven't discouraged any kind of talking because he was quite delayed. However it has come to my attention that his narrow focus on these topics can annoy his peers at school. I don't want him to feel ashamed about his interests, but I also don't want him to be ostracized at school. I'd really appreciate any thoughts this group may have on how to handle (or not) this situation. TIA!
