The new BMI, which is more accurate for very tall and very short people, gives you 28 instead of 30.6. Which is overweight and not obese. people.maths.ox.ac.uk/trefethen/bmi_calc.html

Depends on the circumstances. After one year of wfh in a 18m2 apartment, I happily go to the office 4-5 days a week, even though I am not required to.

I truly do not understand this… it’s a niche QA forum

Do you still have native-level pronunciation and grammar skills in Cantonese? Forgetting words is one thing, that happens, and words can be relearned. I’ve lived abroad for 5 years now in my 20s, and even I’ve lost some vocabulary in my native language.
If you no longer know the grammar or the pronunciation well, then it’s a more legitimate question if it is your native language anymore.
Either way, you are some sort of bilingual. In fact, some people grow up like that where I come from: with two native languages, one of which is oftentimes stronger / more eloquent due to education, social life, etc.

This made me look up “whole word reading”, and it just made me irrationally angry. To be fair, English isn’t my native language and I don’t have a recollection of learning how to read, but “whole word learning” sounds insane. But like… Why would you do that if you are using an alphabet?

Yes but this clearly wasn’t about that. If it had been he’d just screenshotted that part and focused on that. But he’s a weirdo so he screenshotted 5 years of content, anything that could remotely offend anybody, to make the maximum amount people mad.

Humans in general are very hesitant to admit that they were wrong. Cult members doubly so.

It’s kind of a fashion trend, and internet porn made such a fashion trend possible by making it visible to more people. At least if you look at it that way, stark differences in behavior and opinion between generations seem completely normal.

That’s called being straight
- Comment on What’s the difference between pansexuality and bisexuality? 2 months ago:
I think most people use them interchangably, I call myself bi due to it being a more well-known term and the flag being prettier
- Comment on Can I consider myself bi or should I just say straight if I want to date women but just can’t find any that attract me? 2 months ago:
Why would you want to date a group of people that you´ve never found attractive? This is really confusing to me

- Comment on why do people say annoying/rude stuff and then tell you “it was a joke!” 3 months ago:
Over time, you start seeing a pattern. If the (superficially) rude things mostly make you laugh, it’s the former, if they mostly make you feel bad, it’s the latter.

Karma is a pretty typical human way of rationalizing all the injustice we see in the world. It’s difficult to accept that life is, in fact, unfair
- Comment on Why do AI bros and other staunch AI defenders seem happy about the potential of killing off the creative industries? 4 months ago:
You’re basically saying AI can’t be used in any other way than it’s being used right now. I think you are the one who’s taking the current state of things as inevitable and inescapable.

Unnecessary context: the â means that it used to be ’raspe’, from which the English word rasp (a type of file) originates.

As I mentioned, I didn’t understand that I was having a panic attack. Mind you, there were periods of time when the words of my friends just felt like gibberish to me. I was not capable of coherent thought.

I don’t think it’s helpful to tell people that bad trips are avoidable. The probability can be lowered and consequences can be mitigated to some extent but the risk is always there.
