I think it's just confirmation bias that stems from the meme. I've had four cats in my life: an orange tabby tomcat, a black tomcat, a white and orange girl and a grey tabby girl. The orange tabby tomcat was the smartest by a mile out of all of them and the grey tabby girl was the dumbest by a 100 miles. Orange and white girl is the second dumbest and the black tomcat second smartest.

But people aren't gonna post their average or smart orange cats or their dumb non-orange cats on the internet because it doesn't fit into a specific meme/sub/community. So now it seems like there's heavy correlation, but there really isn't.

You're like that one power user on old school forums that you would see everywhere and everyone else would know and respect them lmao

I truly don't understand how people have friend groups as adults. It was a pain in the ass to get my 6 friends (two separate groups of 3) together for my birthday with a month notice. One of those friends has a big friend group from high school and now that they're all around 25 they're starting to find out just how little opportunity there is to get 12 people together who all live in different places now, have partners, jobs, some even kids already.

Aboriginal Australians also had 'constellations' that were the dark spots in the sky as opposed to the stars. I didn't know some Inca did that as well.

She's Dutch, so she can and does pronounce it the correct way.

Imagine thinking in 2023 that there's still such a thing as 'useless data'

There was in the Free Territory of Ukraine under Makhno. Of course they were brutally crushed after 3 years because their succes and freedom was a threat to the Bolsheviks, and their legitimacy, who had already abandoned their ideals for power, as is inevitable when you concentrate power that much.

Right now all my lectures at school are by this one professor who is notorious for just rambling incoherently for an hour and a half, and all of them are at 9 am. You can't expect me to not just turn off my alarm when it goes off at 7 in the morning with only that to look forward to.

I had a burn out and had been home recovering for about 4 months from January, and only slowly building back up since May, and have been back fully since late August, so it definitely feels like this. Time passes really quickly and unremarkably when you sit at home doing 'nothing'.

Acquaintance is that word for me. I just type 'aqu' and my phone handles the rest. God help me if I ever have to write that down without access to the internet. I also let my phone handle 'necessary' because I never know how many c's and s's there are and where they go.
