Downside: tones can be a healtrip and hard to figure out from an atonal language. There's nothing connecting it like romance languages or Germania languages and English. No real free leg up

Upside: way simpler grammar, also no gendered pronouns. Typing can be done way faster.

    1. The Supreme Rick and Morty Bong is conceivable.
    2. Existence in reality is greater than existence solely in the understanding.
    3. Therefore, the Supreme Rick and Morty Bong must exist.
    4. Its necessary perfection entails supreme durability, peerless engineering, and immaculate pickle-green glazing.
    5. Someone's cousin possesses it, although nobody can remember which cousin, and he is currently out of town.

    Shes just not that bright and never has been, you dont have to be smart to be a leftist of course. But shes just never been that bright so of course this was doomed to failure, and she should've seen all the people it failed for historically.

    My dad was always on my ass about cutting my hair too, but its part of our culture (Im indigenous) for everyone to grow their hair and braid it. He got so assimilated he couldnt speak our language, he bought totally in to fundie western conservative culture that shat upon his people from a great height to put it lightly lol

    I dont really get what's going on with the boy from venus but it seems like its affecting people so I guess thats good

    A lot of early transition stuff is kinda mystifying to me ans I have a hard time relating, partially cause its been a while but also because I cracked my egg then started doing stuff about it in fairly short order. Like 3 weeks I think?

    I saw You Can See Everything. Would recommend, actually didnt mind seeing it in theatres vrs waiting for streaming or home release

    spoilerFielder is still playing his dopey character schtick but I do think he started to develop feelings for Holmes, and I think partially because he wanted to see how she was able to dupe people so he let her?

    I was shocked by the number of people in the after movie crowd talking about feeling for Holmes. I get it, she definitely was taken advantage of one time (I wont go into it but its a very bad thing to happen to someone). She's a jackal, a viper, a fraudster and thief, a manipulator. Her rictus grin plastered on her face constantly was scarier than it was charming or disarming.

    Part of it is I have a PhD in her kind of manipulation, and Billy's, because its exactly how my dad manipulates. Like to a tee. Some of those interviews reminded so much of being 11 and confused and terrified. She just had the more feminine aspect of it.

    I aint buying this narrative that "oh shes like some ND ingenue taken in by rich and powerful men and really believed in Theranos" no she knew what she was doing, she was in charge, she knew her tech didnt work and she knew it would be bad for patients and put it out there in the world despite that. All the tears (on command!) didnt fool me - she was sad she had to face a modicum of justice with jail time and lucky it was just for defrauding investors.
