I did 5 years of it and they call it la clim for short (pronounced cleem). Climot sounds very real to me as well, but I don’t think it is.

It’s customer’s shirts, maybe should have specified that.

One time I bolted awake only remembering the words, “Lentils are not available during serious police conversations.” I have zero idea what I was even dreaming that that was in my mind.

Yeah everything’s fucked. I’m currently working retail but I have a computer science bachelor’s. I’ve been considering doing a pivot to teaching but everything’s so terrible now that idk if it’d really even be any better.

I’m gen z and consider myself pan because the flag colors look like an ocean sunset and yummy ice cream. And also because gender is irrelevant to me in regards to attraction.

Good. Dating apps have never worked for me, and maybe this is because I’m demisexual, but I’m just never able to feel a connection online and I end up swiping left on everyone, and I’m pan so that’s a lot of people.

We actually aren’t too far away from that. It’s called IVG (in vitro gametogenesis). Over a decade of research has already been done on other animals, and in recent years they’ve moved on to getting it to work with human cells.

Unfortunately there are a lot of people my age who have or would do that, but they’re missing out on getting drunk while writing and then waking up the next day to see if what you wrote is okay to turn in. (Yes, I genuinely did this when I was in college and would do it again. At least I didn’t cheat like my peers did.)

Don’t bother with trading. Timing the market is a fool’s game. It’s all about time in the market. Just stick your money in and let it sit there. As you age you will want to move your money to safer investments and focus more on wealth preservation.

Also focus on spending time with your loved ones and doing things that make you happy. When people are at the end of their lives, no one wishes that they had grinded harder or obtained a higher status.

Also not realistic to be in a good headspace everyday. You’re just going to burn yourself out trying to do that. You’re going to have bad days. You’re going to have slow days. Just do your best and hope that tomorrow will be better.

One time when I was working retail, I had an elderly man tell me about how sad he was that the ocean is warming and the corals and dolphins are dying. Then he took a bottle of peach flavored weed gummies out of his pocket and told me how happy he was that it finally got legalized. That guy was cool. I wish more old people were like him.

The Sims has gay people in it. Saudi Arabia really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really doesn’t like gay people.

That just made me remember the time I was taken to a room kind of like that in 1st grade with a few other disabled kids but I was only there for an hour and they never took me back and I didn’t understand why. I did see a professional about autism last year and I didn’t go for a full diagnosis because I don’t want it on my record, but I did get enough of a confirmation that I’m quite positive I’m autistic, but I guess I’m just not enough to get taken back to the fun room.

I think she can have as many eyes as she likes :)

(Honestly didn’t paint top eye cause it’s meant to be covered by her nonexistent hair)

It takes time to accurately analyze the situation, make a decision, and then also direct the car to where it decided to go. Current tech isn’t capable of doing this and even if future tech can, that’s not what it should be doing.

In that time the car could automatically apply intense braking, even if it destroys the car in the process, like those saw blades that detect being touched and near instantly stop. That would probably launch the driver forward, but keep in mind they also have seatbelts and airbags. The pedestrians have nothing to protect them, and as a driver it’s your responsibility to look out for them, so if anyone is to get hurt at all, it should be whoever’s in the drivers seat.

It being referred to as the trolley problem of self driving is not great because it implies that the only option is to choose who dies when in reality there are other choices that can be made instead where potentially no one even gets hurt.

I started learning French when I was 12 which I’ve continued into adulthood.

What I’ve learned after leaving highschool and learning it on my own is that the book version of the language is very much not useful if you actually want to understand native speakers.

In real life people blend sounds together and use a bunch of slang and the books really don’t teach that, so when I started learning listening skills post-highschool, it kind of felt like I starting over from square one to a degree.

I really recommend that you start with listening and speaking skills first before moving on to reading and writing. That’s the order we all learned our first language in and it still works really well for learning your second or third. The way languages are taught in schools really feels backwards to me.

I’ve been learning little bits of Japanese here and there and starting with listening first feels so much easier. I also feel like it really helps with pronunciation as well since I’m copying native speakers.

I could have had a note and a texture thingy (I would rub the screen and textured case to self soothe) although the phone is more discrete cause everyone has one.

When I was in highschool I had an app to help calm me (recommended by my therapist) because I had such severe anxiety problems. I know there are things you can do without an app but it was helpful when I was panicking so much I could hardly think. I don’t think a blanket ban is appropriate. Phones aren’t inherently bad and it really depends on how they are being used. It makes more sense to revoke phone privileges from individual students if they can’t use them properly.

That honestly sounds more vulgar, or at least in English it does. Do you have the expression of “shooting rope” cause that’s what I think of, or maybe I just have a dirty mind.
