I like city building games and puzzles. I like other things as well, but that's not important right now.

  • What are some words where the "opposite" one means the same thing?

    Jump

  • While checking words that might work here i was reminded of this annoying trio:

    • Allude
    • Elude
    • Illude

    They mean, respectively:

    • to suggest something
    • to escape or avoid something or someone
    • to lie or deceive

    • Restless and Restful.
    • mark and demarcate. I love this one.
    • also, limit and delimit
    • a bit of a stretch but i can imagine someone saying "You're a natural" and "you're a freak" to express someone being abnormally talented at something on their first try.

    "You're a natural at rock climbing. You're a rock climbing freak. A freak at rock climbing."

  • I þink i've seen your comments around a few times and it always seems like haters are downvoting just for þe use of "þ." Most unwarranted, if so!

  • How does dropping out of college help? If it's someone who demands you drop out of college, they're probably not going to treat you right, right? Do people not know about LDR?

  • Professor Witten demonstrates his appreciation for Linus Torvald's counting style

    Jump

  • Hmm maybe I'm wrong about the meaning of the post then, it's just what i got from the images

  • Professor Witten demonstrates his appreciation for Linus Torvald's counting style

    Jump

  • I think they're saying he counts with his fingers facing himself so it looks like swearing. My mother does this when talking to me and i genuinely have to stop her every time. It's only when you do it in a conversatiin to someone that it's bothersome, of course

  • TIL the word "crap" predated the inventions of Thomas Crapper by many years. His name was a happy coincidence.

    Jump

  • his bloodline did a lot of pooping... he was destined to invent the toilet

  • Beginner Spanish learning recommendation, that aren't duolingo? (YouTube, app, website or whatever)

    Jump

  • This lady, Butterfly Spanish. And Anki flashcards - the app seems really backwards at first but it really works.

    I agree that Duolingo is annoying. Felt like I got somewhere with it but it wastes so much of your time.

  • You can eat ONE inedible thing of your choice. What's for dinner?

  • An inedible part of a billionaire like Kim Kardashian's silicone butt cheeks ___^

  • What tv show has the best theme song?

    Jump

  • Oh i love the mad men theme so much

  • TIL tigers don't have slit pupils like housecats

    Jump

  • Labelling the Flash Reflection is really funny to me. It's sort of like finding Saddam Hussein in places he shouldn't be or a diagram of a cat brain which just shows smaller cats in a control room.

    What are your thoughts on someone who has a mental age of 22 at 32 and hangs out with people in their 20's? is that creepy/predatory?

    Jump

  • Listen, already without your context in the body of the post, no that isn't creepy or unusual.

    Seeing your context, i have to remark;

    She had a chronic condition where she was basically in a waking coma but wasn’t “experiencing” stuff for a decade

    Wtf? That's horrifying. Is it sleeping beauty syndrome? I'm terrified of that myself

    it’s as if time had jumped from her POV because she has no memories of that period

    So why are you asking this question anyway? When you give the reader a prompt of "is it creepy or predatory" it feels like you already want them to choose that answer. Is it someone you're annoyed with and trying to vent about or are you asking this question because they're insecure/paranoid of what people will think of them?

  • People who play piano, how did you learn to sight read proficiently?

    Jump

  • Just doing it over and over again. I memorise which ledger line is for which note now - and same applies for notes way above or below the ledger - and that's all there really is to it. When you're sight reading I feel it helps you to pace yourself as well.

  • What are some foods that LOOK awful but TASTE great?

    Jump

  • I love em. Favourite food as a kid, the cheap packet ones. As a teenager I realised you can have authentic sausages of that length so I usually get those when I buy hotdogs, nowadays. Try and get a deli hot dog for instance, or bratwurst.

  • It’s completely made up based on your mind’s interpretation

    Or rather, it's derived from popular science fiction

  • TIL there's a marathon run at 1210 meters below sea level.

    Jump

  • Marathon runners are just the lemmings of the human race. "Let's put ourselves into another torturous and dangerous situation! Who's with me?" And then a tidal wave of humans jogs into the abyss.
