Either way, there is a lot of things where a book, with illustrations or not, is an inefficient way to convey information.

This is one of my all-time least favorite takes.
For a lot of stuff, text is a good way to present information. For a lot of other things, information is best processed visually, often in the form of a video. Think repair, building stuff, 3D software, complicated GUI software in general, sports and gym technique, physiotherapy, anything that involves spatial motor skills really.
Imagine if IKEA instructions were text-only?

What interests you and what do you value? There are no universal answers to a question like this.

22:00 bedtime / 06:00 wake-up time daily is what you do in the army in my country. No smartphone too. This seems excessive for a normal 15 year old.

If you pick 4 random words, the attacker would still need to brute force through (hundreds of?) billions of word combinations. That’s the point.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
but iirc the bottom half has been sort-of half debunked
Any source for this? It’s literally just random words. Just pick from a large enough list and you’re good.

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.

Broken record?

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.
- Comment on Not that I would. But could I go up to the capital building and do the exact same thing Jan 6th morons did down to a T? Since Trump pardoned them, or does it apply for a few while the rest are screwed 3 months ago:

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.

- Comment on What is the name of the sexuality of being into the opposite gender and willing to date the same gender but not finding anyone of the same gender attractive? 3 months ago:
That’s called being straight
- Comment on What’s the difference between pansexuality and bisexuality? 3 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? 3 months ago:
Why would you want to date a group of people that you´ve never found attractive? This is really confusing to me

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.
