Interesting, and also hopeful if that's the case. That's much a much better situation than if we couldn't get them out of our body at all.

There's something to be said, about people that only come up with problems. Instead of presenting solutions. (Im talking about them, not you)

I'm not going to say i can relate too much. I was very much the opposite of you as a child. But I was also supposed to be perfect, Most things came easy to me. I was smart, I got top grades, I was active in acrobatics, but sometimes when I didn't know things. Instead of politely explaining it to me. I was often met by "WHAT!? You don't know this?? They don't teach you this? We were taught this at a much younger age than you". Ok. Cool.

Which obviously made me feel stupid. No matter how good I was. It was never enough. No matter how well i built something, it was never good enough. And no matter how far i could run. It wasn't far, or fast enough.

If I couldn't do to it on my own, no one was going to help me either. I was praised for being independant. But the reason I were, was because I learned early on, very early on. That no one is ever going to help me. I need to be able to do everything on my own. Otherwise nothing will get done. And that came back to bite me in the ass many years later.

So my advice to you. Try to see of you can seek professional help, ask your school if they know of any resources for mental health. Because trust me on this one. It would be so much better if you could get help now. Rather than 15-25 years later.

They can't fix the problems with your family. But they can help you find tools to deal with it. And it also feel pretty nice to talk to someone that can listen and understand.

It's also about just being familiar with the controllers in general.

Are you sure. I've read they keep collecting in various organs, including our brains

I know this is a tough pill for americans to swallow. But lots of countries does not allow trans-athletes to compete in the women's class.

The international organisation for track and field, and also the IOK have already said that transathletes are not allowed to compete with women (for now).

Though I absolutely agree that US politicians are experts at exaggerating and trying to blow the smallest issue out of proportion for headlines.

And it's sad the American people are too uneducated to see through the charade.

I would laugh at the US, if it wasnt for the fact that people's lives are ruined forever on a daily basis.

It's really easy to not care when it doesn't involve you in any way shape or form. So, what is it you're trying to say?

That you dont want to watch football with the rock vs school girls? Ok, good for you i guess?

Maybe he thinks roommates is what poor people call their maids?

Though I'd happily make my potential roommates bed every morning instead of paying rent.

Yes. They use the english name when talking about the object in english. So what? In Sweden our scientists call Luna for "Månen". Because that's the name in our language. But the standard of naming things in latin stems from that every scientist will speak the same language.

If you want to gather studies about dogs. You'll be very limited if you only know their english name. So instead you'll use the latin name. Canis Familiaris. And all of a sudden you will find studies from all across the world.

Yes, they have been naming species after people and things. Those that discover a species will often get the naming rights. But they still have a latin name.

Platysaurus attenboroughi.

It's in latin. And because of that. Every single scientist that are familiar with the concept of how we name species will see that the species Platysaurus Attenbiroughi is in the Platysaurus genus, and saurus means that's it's a reptile.

Euptychia attenboroughi.

So we know that this is an animal in the Eutychia genus. Named after Attenborough.

Trigonopterus attenboroughi

By now you should know what genus this animal is in. And that's why we give them latin names.

If we just called then all "attenboroughi" it would be really fucking confusing about which animal it is we're actually talking about.

Just because you don't know that you use any latin. Doesn't mean the useage have decreased.

Latin isn't going anywhere. Our entire scientific understanding of life on earth is built on the back of latin. It's the language all scientists speak.

So when a doctor writes in the journal that you have a fracture in your femur. Every other doctor on the planet earth will know which bone it is he was talking about.

Ah, I was wondering why NASA kept talking about "Trans Lunar Burn" and "Lunar orbit" instead of "Trans moonar burn" and "moonar orbit". So silly to talk about "circumsolar orbits" when it's clearly "Circumsunar orbit".

The only major exception is Earth, where orbits around us are called out in english, more specifically, the initials. LEO, MEO, HEO. The L stands for "Low", so I'm sure you can figure out what the M and H stands for.

And no, using latin to name things have not been falling out of fashion. Every time we discover a species (which we still do, every single day), their species are immediately named in latin.

And lots of things, are still called by their latin names in English. e.g. (exempli gratia) Virus. Alibi. Malfeasance. Agenda. Incalculable. Modicum. Mundane. Ambiguous. Bacteria. Naive. Atrocity. Cull. Debilitate. Et Cetera.

I could go on but you get the point. Latin is everywhere. You just didn't know that it's Latin to begin with.

It's called "the sun" in English yes. Now, this is going to sounds crazy, but hear me out on this one.... There are other languages than English. And I've heard rumors, that scientists across the world are all using this weird one called "Latin" when it comes to naming stuff.

Imagine thinking you were just doing a harmful prank, only to later learn that guy was admitted to a psychiatric hospital being convinced he was hearing voices when others said they heard nothing. Now that's side-character plot twist for a movie.

At least now they have reintroduced "tjänstemannaansvar" (public servant accountability). And when I say now I actually mean, pretty much now. It went into effect 1 august of this year.

 

Personally I've only ever written two. One that created multiple textfiles in various folders under windows that all grew exponentially. This was in the age of HDD so it could actually caused some serious problems. I created it because a guy in my class stole my homework by copying my files. So i created this virus, named it something fitting and "forgot" to close my laptop when i went to the bathroom.

And another that once every 40 minutes + (5 to 50) minutes would open your cd tray and then close it after 2 seconds. No one used CD's at this point and i just wanted to prank some colleges.

 

I just wonder. If you can openly carry a firearm. Could you not also openly carry a sword? Bow and arrow?

 

When will people learn? Seriously. They keep touching fire and act equally surprised every time they get burned.

No Man's Sky. (Great now but holy hell was it a shit show)

Cyberpunk

Diablo IV

Far Cry 6

StarField

And now this latest Assasins Creed: Mirage.

Probably forgetting plenty of recent releases too that just faded into nothingness.

Personally, I'll be starting Batman Arkham Asylum this weekend. Heard it was pretty good. Should keep me busy for a while.
