I have changed my mind in deeply personal ways a few times in my life. After going through this experience a few times it’s strange to think about what beliefs I hold now that are wrong, and which of those will actually change in the coming

Yeah I had thought that newborns famously didnt understand object permanence and that it developed sometime during their first year. And that was why peekaboo is fun, you’re essentially popping in and out of existence.

Violet in the rainbow is not a purple hue, it is a deep blue. Illustrations often color it more purplish but that is inaccurate

I found it to be way more empowering. There truly are many things in life that we don’t control, but there are many that we do. Would you agree it’s wise to reduce stress about the stuff we don’t have control over?

I have no idea how you can read his meditations and come away with this conclusion. Where are you getting that “Your job is to pretend it matters because it matters to your followers”

When I learned German, I started using “y’all” in English because I got used to using a plural you. I’ve never lived anywhere near the south, but once you start using it, it feels weird not to.

I live in the salt lake valley and it’s infuriating how much of a disconnect between public perception and reality there is about water usage. People are all stressed out about not watering their lawns and ripping out grass, when in reality

“No shortage of parking has occured” this is definitely not true where I live. A lot of the dense new housing has essentially zero guest parking often making it difficult to visit my friends. To be honest, I do think that this trade off is

I don't know, I wasn't in your classes. You would probably find the video interesting nonetheless. It's from a UCLA professor and is in part specifically about how he at least partially disagrees with the way that phonetics a

His video was mainly about how that chart is inaccurate and outdated. For example, 12:50 in the video. From what I understood, one of the main downsides of the chart is it focuses on tongue position, but not lip position. There are differen

Note that a guy wrote this song, recorded himself, and had an ai transfer his voice to drake/weekend. That combined with auto tune definitely hides any uncanny valley

Huh. This was written by Adam Ragusea who now runs a successful cooking YouTube channel. I had to double check it was the same person… wonder how that career transition happened

For anyone that actually read the article, idk how much criticism there is for EA, but rather seemed more like a expose on how the Bay Area EA culture is heavily polyamorous with men abusing job connections to pressure women. Seems more lik

Whenever Duolingo comes up, I always like to point out that their website is VASTLY superior to their app. It's essentially more difficult, because you can type your answers without being babied by just clicking on words. Additionally,

I’m an exmormon in suburban Utah and it is definitely nowhere near 80-90% active Mormon. Maybe 50-60%, which is still really high for a single demographic, but also not too dissimilar in group think qualities of other populations

well yeah Erikson was first, but he didn't "discover" it in the sense that Columbus did. I would say they're categorically different. See my comment below.

by broof 5y ago
I would say yes, "making noise about it" would be a relatively important part of discovery. Did Erikson know that there was an entire continent with advanced societies completely seperated from the "old world"? Because t

I still would say that Columbus was the first to "discover" America, in the sense that Leif Erikson showed up, left, and didn't really make a big deal out of it. which to be fair, makes sense if you look on google earth and z

Duolingos website actually has different features (and less/no ads for the mobile version of the website). On iPhone you can export the website itself to your home screen and it’s essentially an ad free version of the app with better f
