I already do, I’m a teacher. But if I could do anything to get paid, I’d run free English classes and conversation clubs for refugees

- Comment on Do we intentionally translate ancient stuff and languages to sound old timey as an artistic choice, or is there some other reason? 3 weeks ago:
Good translation is as much an art as a science, even between modern languages. I wish more translations focused on intent rather than a literal 1:1

Hearing all the noises in the right sequence was how you knew everything was working on startup

- Comment on How fatal and painful is it if my belly gets stabbed/ripped open? 5 weeks ago:
Have heard that belly wounds are a slow and painful way to die. That being said, you’d have a better chance of survival than being stabbed in the chest.

Unfortunately, yes
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Public messaging is difficult for economics because of its complex nature. Even when you simplify it, the interconnected nature of seemingly unrelated things and unforseen consequences often escape people. Then there’s the human element which sometimes produces baffling outcomes.
But all that most people think is “Why do I have to pay so much for petrol? That’s bad.”

- Comment on Why there are no "secondary" sports league that allow performance enhancement drugs? 3 months ago:
It’s already that way in cycling, for example. I guess the prohibition just allows the various governing bodies to avoid legal liability for any damage to the athletes.

To paraphrase George Carlin, by definition half of the population is below average intelligence. But nobody thinks they’re in that bottom half.
- Comment on Gen Z is forcing a workplace reckoning that should have happened years ago 5 months ago:
I hope so, very much.
My boss keeps hanging around his yacht, while I can’t afford a house. Does anyone else think that’s super exploitative?
- Comment on [What if scenario] What if all commercial institutions suddenly decided they no longer intend to acknowledge religious events such as Christmas? 6 months ago:
Chriatmas itself is great, its the obnoxious music and decorations that go up mid October that I hate
- Comment on Will people respond better if you say you're teetotal, or straight edge? 6 months ago:
My dude, I gave up alcohol 12 years ago and I can feel your question in my bones.
The only responses I’ve found that
don’t causeminimize follow-up bullshit are:“Oh I’m taking antobiotics at the moment and the doc said I can’t drink while I’m on them.”
and
“Sorry, I’m designated driver tonight! I know, it’s so annoying but I promised my gf/friends…”
Anyone you see frequently enough to know these are white lies should be cool with you not drinking/getting high anyway.
Yes, it’s bullshit that you have to lie but I’ve found that telling the truth just leads to drunk/high idiots pestering you and basically not accepting any explanation. Using the white lies above shifts the blame onto someone else, and then people just seem to accept it.
And if your friends don’t respect that you want to stay sober, then you can probably do without them in your life.
