- Comment on The ancient Greeks or Chinese should have already had words for this. 3 days ago:
I had that exact same conversation with my mom but it went like this:
“Ok mom, picture a cow in your head”
“Oookayyy”
“Now you can see a cow right?”
“What do you mean”
“Like… You can see a picture of the cow, right?”
“Nooo”
My dad chimes in “yes, obviously”
“…crap. Mom, I have some news for you”
Both of us grew up thinking we had no imagination or were dumb. I remember being incredibly frustrated when a teacher taught us the concept of the Memory Palace where you picture things in rooms of a house. Like if you had to remember five playing cards you’d picture a room with 7 red clowns, with hearts on their cheeks. Then in the next room you’d picture a king, holding up a spade, etc. That just made it harder for me to remember and the teacher kept telling me I wasn’t listening or trying

Then why is Trump bribing Ghislaine and trying so hard to stop them from releasing the files?

- Comment on How realistic is it for me to learn Japanese so that I can experience Anime better? How long would it take to learn? Has anyone attempted this? 1 month ago:
TL;DW: keep listening to Japanese media. Watch anime in Japanese with no subs, listen to Japanese podcasts, listen to audiobooks in Japanese, etc. Try to find something you know a bit about because it will help keep you engaged and help with context.
There’s a chapter about tolerating ambiguity which means they in the beginning you won’t understand anything and it will be very frustrating but you need to accept it and keep feeding your brain Japanese inputs. You’ll learn the sentence structure and vocabulary as well as learning pronunciation, this is basically how babies learn. You’re brain is really good at pattern recognition so just give it enough inputs and eventually it will start to click
Start doing Anki cards which will supplement all the inputs. Don’t go overboard, just learn the alphabets and then some common vocab and keep listening to other media. After about a year, start reading and writing a lot. Read manga, read books, and start writing notes and stuff in Japanese.
That’s basically it. You can use study materials if you want but feeding your brain more inputs is key. In addition to being really effective it has the benefit of being way more fun than studying grammar and whatnot

Makes sense, he can complain because fast food employees don’t get tips so he’s seen as being understanding while shitting on other restaurants. Win/win for him

Ek sal dit nagaan, dankie vir die voorstel! Ek het van Suid-Afrika af geïmmigreer toe ek 4 was, so ek kan dit redelik goed praat, maar my lees- en skryfbegrip is nie-bestaande, so ek gebruik Google Translate om te help lol.

You’re not alone, studies show that sugar will actually decrease energy and alertness
- Comment on Done this 7 months ago:
www.webmd.com/…/busting-sugar-hyperactivity-myth
The studies clearly show that the sugar rush myth has been debunked. Having more sugar doesn’t make people hyper or give them more energy, in fact a meta analysis links sugar to a higher level of fatigue and less alertness
- Comment on Done this 7 months ago:
Correct on how caffeine works, but sugar doesn’t cause hyperactivity, that has been disproven. It’s likely because caffeine is a stimulant so it’ll make your heart beat faster so you might feel more hyper

My take is that they don’t understand privilege and are used to being catered to because straight white males are the “default setting”.
I remember when I went to my Korean friend’s wedding my wife and I were the only white couple there and it felt strange. I talked to some of my black friends and it turns out that out of place feeling is just typical for them but racist white people fight that uncomfortable feeling

When I started playing, the guide was completely useless. He would also open your doors and leave them open, I very quickly grew to despise the guide and made his home a prison.
- Comment on Terraria Hive Base 7 months ago:
To each their own, I hated playing without knowing the crafting recipes and always loved looking up what I can make with everything I picked up.

Keep the wiki open, explore the surface for cave entrances and look for pots/chests, the game completely changes once you get a grappling hook.

To subtly draw your eye’s focus on the important words, letting it dance playfully over “This” before stressing the importance of “A Rock”
- Comment on He's so negative. He's so weird. 9 months ago:
“This One is Just A Rock” You have no idea how satisfying it feels seeing this expressed so accurately, I wish I could make some of my elementary school teachers see this meme because it so succinctly summarizes the struggles I experienced too.
Maybe then they’d think twice before dismissing other kid’s issues in the future 🙏
