  About a third of the illiterates in the US just don’t speak English. They may be literate just fine in their native tongue, but that rate captures English literacy.

  Went to a Mediterranean restaurant for dinner with my wife. We celebrated her birthday, and so decided to check the dessert menu. We generally don’t get dessert, just never really lie thing, but this menu has a dessert called amygdalopita, which piques my interest. Why would they name it after part of the brain?

  And so upon further research, we discovered that the Greek word αμύγδαλο (amýgdalo) means almond. And this really got my wheels turning, because it brought back memory of EMT classes, way back in like 2003, where they talked about the amygdala being named such due tonit being almond shaped.

  So I like a dessert that not only tasted great, but also helped me make connections, maybe fire off some neurons I hadn’t in a while.

  They should make an app where you have to swipe right on your driver/passenger, and then the app notifies you and you can strike up a conversation and see whether or not you are compatible for ride-sharing.

  That’s concerning!

  I cook chicken breasts on 425. I do everything on 425, in fact, it’s the perfect temperature for just about anything that needs to be ovened. I remember being told it would dry my chicken out, but it’s perfect.

  Now, a whole chicken works be a different story. Maybe.

  I didn’t watch Succession past an episode or two, but probably there.

  Unrelated, his pocket square looks like a horse head.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨..?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We need to just start shitposting in every community, because everything is shitpost, and to deny that is to deny life. When you wake up in the morning, that’s shitpost. When you drink a cup of coffee, that’s shitpost. Drive to work, shitpost. It’s all shitpost, and so I think all we can do is shitpost everywhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨..?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I listen to music with no lyrics, and I make some of my own. What’s the politics in that? I build Lego with my kid. I eat a sandwich for lunch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is spreading.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Except they’re the same person. The people who complain most about Microsoft here also go on to add “That’s why I switched to my Linux high horse” nine times out of ten.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sales =/= quality⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oddly enough, I’m on the opposite side. Popularity ruins good things. I’m probably just bitter and cynical though. And that’s also not to say that there aren’t things with massive popularity that are also good.

  Yeah, my vinyl collection is a decoration. The 20TB of storage connected to my PC is where the magic happens.

  Eating it before heating?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Employa destroya 🫵😫⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not aware of anywhere that pays (or is even allowed to pay) baristas what waiters and bartenders get. There may be exceptions. This post seems to be about literally anyplace with a new POS having basically options for 20-30% tips, despite the person behind it making like $15 an hour (at least where I live). Fortunately, lately, I’ll have the person reach around and press the “no tip” button often enough, since it’s usually the least obvious option available.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn, thank you. We’re snowed in AF here in Jersey (New), and I needed a good family flick, the kids are shit at helping me pick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am untethered, and my rage knows no bounds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nothing, now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am untethered, and my rage knows no bounds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I had to double check the post, but I’ve concluded that what you said has nothing to do with if.

  Yeah, my 8-year-old has the chrome book, but also gets physical homework, paper and pencil. Dunno how it’ll be as she gets older, but I like how it is so far.

  I was thinking about trying to find Mavis Beacon and somehow getting it to function on Windows 11. No idea if there’s compatible versions. But I used Mavis Beacon all the time growing up and enjoyed the games, made learning to type (properly) fun.

  Right? I’ve seen plenty of people who don’t know how to swing a hammer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The laptops should be a tool, in addition to other tools. Being well rounded is the best thing you can be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Two sides to every story⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Avoid it, because it was so good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't know the reason why.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I’m 38 and remember red pistachios. Also remember finding some sort of worm thing burrowed into one of those red pistachios, while I was sitting at my grandfather’s kitchen table eating pistachios. Didn’t stop me. Well, it stopped me from eating that one. But I’m always leery if a pistachio has a hole in it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roblox Hit With Multimillion-Dollar Suit By Los Angeles, for Creating Largely Unsupervised Online World That Enables Predatory Pedophiles and Give Them Powerful Tools to Prey on Kids⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, agree with everything you said. I let my kids play Roblox. I play with them sometimes, been playing some silly Shawarma game, it freaks them out.

  So far, the biggest thing we talk about is this desire of every game to enter your wallet, and I tell them that a game shouldn’t be asking you for money, and now they both get annoyed at games that ask for money. I like to think I’ve created a safe environment for them to play in, and when the environment becomes something else, they ask me about it.

  So mainly right now the worst that happens is the game is bullshit and they get mad, and I say hey, this game is bullshit (in more PG language), and we move on.

  I firmly believe that prohibition just leads to curiosity. I think it’s impossible to insulate them from shit these days, so I’ll be part of their exposure, and hopefully I can help them learn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I a joke to you?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for giving me a reason to go look at the picture again. I enjoyed the joke, and then you had me enter a second dimension. Meme recycling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I a joke to you?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨McBludda Please 😫⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like it, because as a kid I wanted to be Peter Pan, and I can feel the same way for different reasons as and adult with a son and daughter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨McBludda Please 😫⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just watched Hook with my daughter this weekend, so glad to see some obscure reference to it being made. Great flick, unfairly panned by critics, I won’t stand for it. Bad form.
