I think you demonstrated exactly why avoiding em dashes like the plague makes for hard to read sentences.

Does anyone have any resources for learning how to do very beautiful clean technical drawings like this? I have some art skill but not the kind that translates to such clean technical drawings with this nice personality. Would love to be ab

No these are not things people told me about. I know that. I mean from 3 onwards there is a steady stream of them that I remember clearly in exactly the same way I remember other things. My memories from 2 are very few and far between but t

I have memories from my whole life but only smatterings of them. When I say I have memories from being as toddler it's like a few here and there.

You are way over confident. I definitely have memories from 2 onwards and I know I remember them because I remember relaying them to people at age 4 onwards, by which point my memory was very well formed.

Yeah I'm always shocked that there's a general assumption that people don't remember things before the age of 5. I remember some things from 2 years old and everything is pretty clear from 3 onwards. I do assume this is a sig

Yeah I always think being a baby or toddler must be endlessly frustrating. Imagine having absolutely no words to communicate your need and no idea how to do anything. I've said this before to parents of babies when I was a curious teen

I dunno how what you're saying negates my point. I was actually gonna add that the same thing can be said of Asia, which even more so needs to be split into quadrants to find clear similarities in culture.

bro, that's not what I mean. What I mean is this guy really thinks his culture did not effect him. Trust me, if you went to Japan and acted exactly as your American upbringing tells you to, you will fuck up the entire social contract t

They're really not. Europe is diverse enough that you need to split it into quadrants to decide what countries are relatively similar. Like is Finland similar to Germany from an outside perspective? Yes. Is Finland similar to southern

This is 100% not what psychedelics look like. It's generally just mildly more saturated colours and the feeling that everything is possibly breathing or swaying in a more natural way. I dunno what happens if you take insane amounts tbf

That's why the pouches are good. They reduce your craving, therefore making the act of smoking seem less necessary. Of course, the act itself is still appealing, but then you can work on reducing that habit independently and perhaps sa

Nicotine pouches are okay, I would advise against vape though. Vape is honestly more addictive than cigarettes and I find, in large volumes, the vapour still affects my lung function. Nicotine pouches or gum are the way to go to get the ben

I'm saying this in comparison to other forms of English. In comparison to their British English versions, these phrases make no logical sense. That is just true. There's a direct analogue to compare it to. Edit: Also, Americans th

Firstly, that is your interpretation of zero. It is also an abscence of all the possible values that it could be, which is a plural concept. Secondly, yeah American English is moronic and full of barstadised phrases. In the UK, we always sa

Beatmatching by ear is great fun but you get rekorbox for free with any pioneer controller, which you should want for practicing anyway?
