  Yeah, I just had to search for this because I thought, I missed that too!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon describes experience⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I went to a lot of different primary schools (UK here, that’s up-to-11-years-old) and there absolutely were ones where this happened. There were also good ones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon describes experience⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My parents got called to school more than once because i was “disruptive” and kept doing things like wandering around class talking to people or not turning up after breaks. I was bored. My parents said, if I’ve done the work and it’s all correct can’t they give me something else to do? So they made me answer the same set of questions again once I finished them.

  I spent a lot of time on computers (shocker, right?) and that was seen as nerdy and weird when I was at school. Even after I got my first real job, I remember my girlfriend dismissing things I’d say because “nobody cares about your stupid internet”. Predictable rest of comment is predictable.

  Punk was big in the late 70s - mid 80s, though? I thought the big boom was early 80s. It was buried under things like nu-metal and emo in the late 90s (I’m fuzzy on this because of reasons).

  I always knew them as cheesybobs as a kid, and only realised they were the same thing as “wood louse” or whatever when I grew up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pissebed⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Cheesy bug” in parts of the UK? Where I grew up that’s close. They were “Cheesybobs” to everyone I knew.

  When I was at school, the kids would say, “my dad’s shed is bigger than your dad’s shed”. But that was a long time ago, and we each had a child’s view of the world. Most of us grew up.

  When people have tried this they found you can’t just stay awake. Your brain ends up turning bits of itself off at a time, so while you can talk and move around you’re basically not fully conscious and will mix up words or not be able to move at the same time. They called it “microsleep”, and it’s the main reason why nobody tries to go for longer without sleep any more: beyond a certain point you’re not really awake or asleep.

  You could do that with any of them. Super strong? Crushes friends when trying to hug them, etc.

  What was her problem? She was badly-written.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speak American⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Languages and nationalities are not a one-to-one match anyway. What would you expect from a Canadian flag? French, or English? The USA has NO official language, so that makes even less sense.

  I wish people would stop trying to replace words with cute little images.

  If you click “Why am I seeing this?” does it just say, “America”?
