When I actually check comprehension after hyperfocusing on reading, I’ll realize I’ve picked up mostly vibes. That said, I’m pretty good at putting the pieces together, so for something simple or whose details aren’t vital, it doesn’t really matter. Technical or precise writing is different.
In Germany, they’re called Stolpersteine, or stumbling blocks (a metaphorical hurdle that prevents or inhibits you from reaching your goal). It feels like a warning that humanity must reckon with our susceptibility towards fascism if we want to achieve lasting peace.
You know what the easiest way to brainwash children is?
Raising them.
Immigrants are over 15% of the population, of course they commit crimes. 8% of rapes are reported, wanna bet whether they’re more frequently reported when they’re committed by immigrants?
Well, Herr Sellner, perhaps your perspective is slanted. Somehow people still make their opinions heard.
As an immigrant in Germany, people who don’t support immigrants are not cowed by their government, don’t worry. They love to tell me about it. Maybe if you were an immigrant for a day, you would see things differently as well.
I have the specific curse that incels think of me as a neutral party. Something about me calls to them, I don’t know what, but they always think that I’ll agree with them when they talk about… actually anything.
You know what works beautifully? Wearing my septum ring down so it’s visible. The wedding ring is less effective than a septum ring.
I don’t get it. Unless it’s talking about how hard it is to eat fries with a fork?
My sister would slip folded foil butter packets into rude customers’ purses and pockets in the summer at her last restaurant so they’d melt and be awful. I like your prank better.
I’ve been to the funeral of a 22 year old from a family of true believer born again Christians. It was bizarre. I was the saddest person there and we were only sort of friends. The rest of them honestly believed that he was chilling with Jesus and it would be silly to be sad.
Since then, I’ve noticed that people emphasize the religiosity of the dead when they are trying to reduce their feelings of guilt.
I don’t know, that’s a manicured stache.
It’s now just occurring to me that people aren’t talking about prep time when they talk about other people requiring maintenance… what does it mean?
I don’t think he’d lose a single voter, to be honest.
He had the decades long overreaction in 2016
If a man experiences famine as a child, his children’s metabolisms will be different.
:) It’s going pretty well. My husband and I have two days off together in a row, so we’re going to deep clean the apartment.
How are you doing?
Let’s hope
I like to react with this to my trumper dad’s foretelling of a communist future under Harris to the family chat, but you do you.
Any idea what happened to bee.ignoble.dev?
This is a spelling bee clone (or rather a fork, but the dev calls it a clone) that stopped updating a couple of days ago. Has anyone heard anything? It was my favorite version, so I’ll be sad if it’s gone forever.
The code for it is public (but I’m 0% tech-savvy and have no idea what to do with that), so it’s also possible that others have clones of it. If anyone knows of any (specifically of this one, not general spelling bee clones), that would also be much appreciated.
Edit: I went back through the archives and it’s probably vacation, lol. There’s a week or so missing from the last two summers as well. I am surprised that it’s not automated, and I’ll be supporting the developer as soon as possible, because that’s hella impressive.
I need help with ordering activities
Hi, I’m in a classic college crunch, even though I’m fucking 32 and getting my master’s. I have a paper due yesterday and no extension, but I’m hoping they don’t check the mailbox until Monday.
Onto the problem: I’m exhausted and fried from too much stress and weed, and too little food and sleep (zero hunger though, plus I’m puking from stress, so… I’m eating soup when I can and starting with good breakfasts). I have to write, but I can’t think because I’m so tired. I can’t sleep because I’m so stressed. I can’t calm down, because I haven’t written the paper. Weed ostensibly helps with the first two but very much not with the third one.
I wrote two sentences (the first two in the introduction) in 35 minutes, so trying to push through is… inefficient. What do I do?
Edit: I have already discussed and agreed with my fiancé, we’re not buying any more weed at least until I’m done with my studies, so no worries there.
What is the automatic recognition of quantities without having to count called?
When you look at a picture of three marbles, you don’t have to count them to know that there are three there, your brain just automatically knows that, but you have to count to see whether there are 17 or 18. I remember reading about a study of this for various animals. If I recall correctly, humans can typically recognize 4-5, but can train up to 7 or 8, but crows or possibly an insect have a really high quantity that they can just sense.
