    The country of France a lot of problems

    The deficit, low growth, wildfires, the writing for the Miraculous Ladybug show

    Macron has officially lost my support

  2. Hey Google, how’s the word ″Deal″ doing these days?

    >″Semantic satiation is a brain quirk where repeating a word over and over makes it temporarily lose its meaning. The word starts to sound like a strange, empty sound or a random group of letters.″

    Yeah….

    Sean Duffy was in a reality show. In one clip he doesnt want to send his daughter to Harvard because they corrupt girls minds.

    tfw a bunch of long standing intuitions you had are wrong because you fundamentally got the math wrong and you thought tail end representation of a sub population scaled sub-exponentially with an increased mean rather than exponentially and assumed increased variance would dominate means at the tail

  5. You ever think about how common black water issues are gonna be on our future asteroid mining stations?

    Or did your parents hug you?

    How it feels when you try to get your “apolitical” bro to explain his beliefs (Taxes should be lowered for everyone, but spending should be increased for government services that they personally use. Also gay couples should be able to defend their marijuana plants with guns, but trans people should be made illegal)

    Just learned both of my ex partners have been talking mad shit about me for a year straight to my friends, including sharing intimate details about when I developed a drinking problem because every day my ex would scream at me to stop crying and get over it.

    Right before we broke up, when she moved back home I sent her a care package with new wireless earbuds because I knew hers broke, and I knew she couldn’t sleep without watching videos. 💖

    Weirdly enough I’m not sad or even surprised. Just disappointed.

    The vast majority of the time I encounter the word “disinterested”, it’s being used incorrectly as a synonym for “uninterested”. It’s getting to the point that I think the OED and Webster’s should just swap definitions.
