On a Hyundai, there’s a very annoying beeping pretty much coinciding with the wheels hitting the lane markings - which IMHO is too little too late, and besides around here most lane markings are made to rumble so it’s not like an additional audio signal is needed.
On my ex’es brand new car, that feature got turned off after very few kilometres, and has stayed off ever since.
“Men must be stoic no matter what!”
“Men are such insensitive dolts!”
“All men are part of the patriarchy!”
…yeah, we’re not making it easy for men to show affection, are we?
The guys I go to tantra classes with are very affectionate, and it’s so lovely.
Cue the tune in my head. Thank you, it’s so lovely. 😍
Taking a day off? From parenthood? Back when my kids were tiny, the office was my reprieve. Then, of course, covid struck…
Ah, you mean like the sync that Palm OS used to have? Yup, that was neat, and I’m still waiting for Android to pick up some of the neat features from back then.
I carry some because it’s no longer a thing. My card has only the information that I know will not change: my name, email address, and mobile phone number. On the back there’s a QR code (which contrasts the otherwise vintage look).
I hand out perhaps one per month so not super often, and many times the most appropriate thing to do is to simply tell people my phone number. But sometimes, especially when we’re in a situation where phones are not nearby, it’s quite effective to hand over a pre-made card with that info.
The average reaction is “Oh, cool” so even if they toss it once they’ve copied the info (which, tbh, is my expectation) it will still have made the exchange slightly out of the ordinary.
Plus, sometimes they’re useful to stop a table from rattling, or leave a message for someone who’s not currently present, and so on.
Sorry to nitpick… Tinnitus is more likely to introduce high-frequency sound than the 440Hz dial tone. If anything, that is the one frequency that old-timey phone techs would eventually struggle to hear…
(psst: widely known, in case it’s not just an autocorrect fluke)
Seriously, how do you even get the data to make such graphs?
On another note, I don’t have much sympathy for people who clearly “swipe right on everyone”. I am aware that it’s a numbers game, but have since standards, man.
Right? For me, the realisation struck when we left the hospital: two people go into a building, three people come out. Carrying my baby daughter was such a crazy experience that first day.
^((nevermind the mathematician’s observation of “if one more person were to enter, the building would be empty again”))
On a similar note, back when I was playing a lot of shooters I would catch myself strafing around hallway corners at work 😅
ℹ️ “exceedingly idealistic; unrealistic and impractical”
ℹ️ “bitter and abusive”, as in a comment or other way of communicating
“optimal frustration” (one single word in several languages that aren’t English)
Something is too easy? Easily bored.
Something is altogether too difficult? Feels hopeless.
Optimal frustration is where the magic happens, be it in education or a computer game.
Oh that is hilarious! Just on my first listen but I don’t quite get the lyrics - am deeply disappointed that the video doesn’t have subs. 🤭
Found it on Spotify. It’s so much worse with lyrics. Thank you for sharing a version without them! 🙏
Read it again. This self-proclaimed man uses ‘women’ to describe some people, and also uses ‘females’ for how some other people describe them.
Thank you for this. You are eloquently and (hopefully) non-threateningly (is that even a word?) stating a message that really, really needs to be said again and again until everyone friggin’ gets it.
I’m glad you ask about things you don’t know. You’re a smart person.
A dead name is a person’s given name, in the context of a person having transitioned to a different gender and also changing their name to match the gender they identify as. It is bad form to then continue to call them by their birth name.
