S4-5 were a weird situation. I forget which one, I think 4, but there was a writer’s strike when it was made so they had to scramble to wrap up the plotline. And didn’t do a great job. There’s also an explanation for the weird plot development point later in S5 if you look up what the actor was doing IRL. You’ll know what I’m talkin about when you see it.

House Season 8 sucks anyway. character development is replaced by stereotypes. can’t believe they named her fucking " chi park " and make her repeat tired old republican clichés instead of having actual backstory

maybe that’s just the Galen scale. subjective units of distress!

I’m sorry, what? I have no idea who Drag is. Wait, are you referring to yourself in the third person?

I can’t believe people would fake politeness about this! No wonder we’re all so damn lonely. If you really don’t care, why not just say that those things bore you? It would probably make for deeper connections with everyone involved. You wouldn’t have to waste your time with them, and they wouldn’t waste their time with you!

Memes are nothing like logographs (“kanji”) linguistically speaking

This actually happened to me once. I illegally streamed a show and then this Italian guy Vinnie the Foot blasts through my screen. Nice guy. Asked for a towel, I made him an espresso, we watched movies and smoked cigars til sunrise.

is TPB dead?

Those instances are terrible for many, many reasons. Transphobia is NOT one of those reasons.

in Korea businesses say 25 hours to mean 24/7

Serendipity, a stroke of fortune! Great word.

You realize that speaking a language involves talking to another person, right?? So you speak what the interlocutor speaks in any given situation… and if both parties speak both equally well, then they generally speak a mix of both, based on whim or topic.

Neurobiologically they absolutely do. Most animals have amygdala, for starters, so they feel a lot of basic emotions. As for love, one would only need to ask whether they can do things such as produce oxytocin, recognize faces or voices, desire touch, etc.

BING QI LIN!!!

any tips for not injuring vocal chords?

Oh yeah, I could see that. I’ve only seen a couple Wendover videos but they seemed decent

Love Tasting History. one of the best channels. he does great research.
