Sorry, I was being sarcastic and joking and didn't realize the phrase was highly connected recently with a right-wing racist piece of trash. I try to ignore what she says because she's such an idiot and so no, I didn't get it.

You know how matter changes from solid to liquid to gas at certain points? I believe there are phase changes in ecology and environmental habitability and sometimes things seem fine and suddenly they aren't.

At the risk of sounding prejudiced and offensive, the norse are a very smart and sexy group of people, so perhaps I am wrong in not accepting your illogical and sexy perspective?

I just think 1 variable of change is not the correct barometer of "how close are we to the ecological abyss?"

I always am open to recommendations.

What are we talking about?

Sorry. You didn't literally say rice crackers and dip are fun when high. I just figured it was implied because it sounds awful. Maybe I am ignorant and should try it?

It wasn't you.

It's not just that. A lot of hard books have bizarre sentence structures that lack clarity. So you are dealing with looking up words every few paragraphs (or skipping meanings) plus bizarre phrases and long confusing sentences.

I didnt know that. I thought when people said they/them it meant gender fluid and was a different type of identity.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

I think "they" is probably a specific gender identity and using that would be like coming out as not male, but i do feel male. I dont think it would be accurate.

For many people, reading is boring. And people have different attention spans and different types of brains.

Some people have internal monologues and some don't.

Some people instantly conjure up rich visuals when given info, some don't.

I suspect many readers who like reading tend to easily create visuals in their minds. I can visualize things but it's not always automatic or detailed and so reading seems like an artform based on older less fun technology.

A lot of times kids are bored and annoyed with all the other subjects going on too. They have to memorize facts that could be easily googled, they have to take tests in different subjects. School was mostly excruciating when I did it and whenever I could i zoned out to give my brain a break from paying attention to boring things.

We should let students take more classes they want. Let science types do more science, let less intellectual kids learn to repair AC units, and let people who love to read be in classes with others like them.

If in my school I had done much harder science classes and more computer classes and less history and literature and other things that i mostly endured to get a good grade, i would have been happier. Also AP and Honors classes mess things up because if you are smart then not taking AP or Honors lowers your GPA and messes up your ability to just choose what you want

Remember, if youre from Florida, don't say climate change when discussing this... or else!

The packages in Debian are really old. It's awful.

I was looking at my xzutils package the other month. "So outdated," I thought, envying the cool hip trendy Arch users.
