Test taking is a skill all its own. It shouldn’t be, but man I have slacked so many classes because I have that skill.
The best class I ever had, a course on the physics behind the functionality of renewable energy systems, the professor would give you the equation if you couldn’t remember it. You’d have to go up and talk to him, if you were really struggling, and you needed to know what you were trying to do, but he’d try to hint you through it first, then provide what you were missing. Ultimately he didn’t see students failing on dumb memory stuff as any sort of win for anyone.
As he said, despite being physics, memorizing math, and especially formulae, isn’t the point of the class.
He was my favorite. He wore white socks with soccer ball-patterned sandals every day, with dress pants and a blazer/tie combo, even winter, and rode his bike to campus. Dude was an absolute gem.

That looks just like the call center I used to work in.
So dumb that it’s ai when places like these are everywhere…

Being productive all the time is for suckers with no actual lives.
Unless you count forming and maintaining social bonds as productive, which it absolutely is, in which case your point is just straight moot.
- Comment on Don't see the problem! 6 days ago:
Oh man my chickens get aggressively excited when I find worms and throw them in the run for them. Especially those whopping night crawler bois. They do the keep-away prance with them held aloft and peck at each other about it.
I’ve decided to start vermicompost specifically to raise worms for them to nom, in addition to the cricket and mealworm tanks I’ve got going :)

Ok well that’s definitely not a “usually” situation then.

Excuse me, what?
I’ve never been anally penetrated during a gyno visit, not a single time in many many years. If you have, that’s fucking weird, not at all normal.

Nope, nothing standard about feet, lots of genetic variation! ;)

Is that 7 toes lengthwise or side-by-side? And which American toes? Lady liberty, or a normal human adult, or a child? Perhaps a newborn?
Man I hate our measuring system, it’s so complicated.
- Comment on BzzzzzzZZZZzzzzZZzzzzz Bruv 1 month ago:
I’m chronically online most days and I haven’t seen this on Lemmy yet, nor at all for that matter.
I hate when people whine about seeing stuff multiple times; at least this isn’t a depressing news article being shared in 63 different communities so you have to see the same thing dozens and dozens of times and be reminded how shit everything is…
It’s just a fun little picture with no bad vibes at all. I’m ok with seeing that sort of thing repeatedly.
- Comment on How would one exit a black hole? 2 months ago:
That assumes black holes aren’t the Big Bang white hole events of new pocket universes of the fizzy foam multiverse.
You could be part of a whole new universe! You wouldn’t know it, but how fun!
- Comment on Eurythmics straight-up kills that guy 2 months ago:
Who wishes sweet dreams instead of seeding their friends and loved ones with dreams?
Whenever I say goodnight to someone I tell them something like “I hope you sleep well and have wonderful dreams of bioluminescent mountain rivers with auroras on the star-lit sky”
And it works about 30% of the time from reports.
- Comment on Biotech uses fermentation to produce milk proteins without cows 3 months ago:
I’ve tried really hard, and sampled many brands, but other than soy in lattes sometimes, I can’t stand plant based milk in my coffee. Some of its fine stuff for other uses, or even just drinking, but it just doesn’t come close to the flavor I like as part of my wake up routine. And if my coffee isn’t good it sours my whole day, just a bit.
I’d love to have something that tastes like milk and feels like milk and does the job of milk, but is vegan.

I’m so much more into the visible hand puppetry. I find that fascinating.
The song is good, but the video style choices are very interesting :)

Transmission fluid is the real “I have no idea what that means” thumbs up.
Because it should hopefully always be clear but it depends where…… and how warm…. And how clean the dipstick was….
(I recently had transmission issues and omfg there isn’t even a light on my car for low transmission fluid wtf??)

Idk why I was expecting anything other than what that comm was, but I’m pleased to have been wrong.
- Comment on It's got electrolytes 3 months ago:
I hate pickles and pickle juice. Always have, always will.
That said, whenever I have bad heartburn, I take a shot of straight pickle juice (the vinegar kind), and it goes away.
- Comment on TOR asking to run snowflake to help Iranians with internet access 3 months ago:
Well I spent the time between when I posted and when you replied looking into various things related to tor, legality, and snowflake more specifically, as well as a bit after your reply since you gave me a couple extra things to look into… (like if there’s a risk of running alongside self-host software like Plex and jellyfin, I didn’t find anything about it so I sort of assume it’s fine…?)…
I didn’t see anything overly bad other than if you yourself use toe, maybe, so took the plunge and… have had a whole two connections already, so yay, I’m a snowflake!
I feel slightly better about myself, like when I started using boinc. :)
- Comment on TOR asking to run snowflake to help Iranians with internet access 3 months ago:
I’m willing to do this but frankly tor intimidates me big time. I don’t know anything about it other than……. Yep that’s it.
I read through the mastodon post, and the project page, and cumulatively I didn’t get any answers.
I assume this is a dark web node sort of thing? Is it safe for me to run the browser extension, like I’m not putting a target on myself or anything? If yes to question 1, but no to question 2, what does put a target?
- Comment on The bizarre, dismal page you see if you open YouTube without an account. 3 months ago:
This is always what my YouTube homepage looks like because I only access it in ghostery browser, using a ghost tab by default (like incognito/private/inprivate, but because ghostery, also blocks tracking, cookies, etc.)
I typically completely close the browser between links (it’s my default link handling browser for Lemmy), so it gets reset frequently enough to have nothing on home if I actually navigate there.

For sure, the cringe of the office is unbearable, and I have no idea who you named… other than knowing they were in the show…? I tried so hard to try to like it that sucks so hard to have people all like “no but give it time!” …bitch… I did give it time… I even tried the UK version and it’s the exact same thing with different people.
Same with always sunny (sans UK version, I doubt that exists… it wouldn’t translate…)… I can’t get past the first impression, the gang gets racist… like ok, this clearly has nothing for me…?
Maybe it does, but I’ll never honestly be able to get past the start to know (other than memes, I know many of those bits)
- Comment on HAAAAAAAANNNNKKKK 4 months ago:
More that you can’t, but hey, sure! Whatever makes you happy!
- Comment on HAAAAAAAANNNNKKKK 4 months ago:
Yeah, that shit.
That’s exactly it, and where I stopped because omfg who does that…???
Nobody with normal human motivations, that’s who.
- Comment on HAAAAAAAANNNNKKKK 4 months ago:
Wow if that’s what you took from that… that says a lot about you…
Sorry I don’t like your pet fantasy…?

It took me the entire amount of time I spent looking at this before replying to realize this device is a kickboard to learn swimming…
I’m way too old for this meme.
I struggled with those kickboards and only really learned to swim pretending to be a mermaid.
- Comment on HAAAAAAAANNNNKKKK 4 months ago:
I have the same problem with stuff. Can you, um… anti-suggest?
Like suggest things I should avoid that hit those same tropes that made bb unwatchable for me…?
- Comment on HAAAAAAAANNNNKKKK 4 months ago:
Idk man, as a science communicator, I watched it and thought it sucked. I know enough about any science field to explain to laypeople, but not enough to properly engage experts usually.
It’s not a bad show per se, but it’s a bad show, imho, as far as normal human motivations are concerned. Who gets their shit handled and still risks their whole family’s shit? Like maybe it’s just me but that’s stupid and hard to believe.
- Comment on Zelda Tears of the Kingdom - it finally got me! 4 months ago:
I feel like the sky islands were meant to be more of a problem-solving adventure, like how to get to certain places that are quite far, but the crafting system was so complicated/poorly implemented, imho, that it made them into a giant pain in the ass.
I ended up just making a platform hot air balloon (three balloons, three pieces of wood, and a fire weapon to light them), and using that for vertical… was the only thing I could get working consistently that didn’t cost a lot of batteries and flame spitters and shit. That plus the gust ability when you’ve reached as high as the game lets you… helps a lot…

lol he swapped seats and everything, that’s great! Not the drunk driving, ofc, but to be a fly on the wall for that stop, woof!
