Something to try: keep a bucket of water nearby for those “difficult” flushing situations. If you really want conservation points, fill the bucket with your shower run-off.

Done. Now what if I want to taunt my enemies by surprise?

I used to have some friends who were jugglers, I’d hang out when they’d practice in the park and even learned a couple simple patterns. Occasionally someone would stop by and say hi and say that they were a juggler too or something. The only time anyone objected was when one of them started to juggle flaming torches at night, a security guard asked him to stop. But in general it was no more/less weird than throwing a frisbee. (this was in the midwest USA, dunno about other parts of the world.)

here you go:

Lemmy is like a cafe, not like a stadium.

There are a couple abilities involved:

• knowing something
• modeling a learner: understanding someone else’s current level of knowledge and the nature of their lack of knowledge such as misconceptions.
• instruction skill: having the ability to remedy the learner’s misconceptions and build upon their existing knowledge to transmit the knowledge/skill

The last two are nontrivial. You ever told someone the answer to something and they just didn’t get it? Even though it was stunningly obvious to you? The last two are why.

Anyway, to your point: a lot of times the best action is just to point someone in the right direction.

ikr sounds like that thing where Socrates’ wisdom was realizing that he was not wise.

Socrates then sought to solve the divine paradox—how an ignorant man also could be the wisest of all men—in effort to illuminate the meaning of the Oracles’ categorical statement that he is the wisest man in the land. After systematically interrogating the politicians, the poets, and the craftsmen, Socrates determined that the politicians were not wise like he was. He says of himself, in reference to a politician: “I am wiser than this man; it is likely that neither of us knows anything worthwhile, but he thinks he knows something when he does not.”(21d).[15] Socrates says that the poets did not understand their poetry; that the prophets and seers did not understand what they said; and that the craftsmen while knowing many things, thought they also had much knowledge on things of which they had none.

Not sure if this’ll help or hurt, but here’s a video of him playing Lenin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsiU0P-swYE

I had to look it up. Not quite sure what it means, but:

I would mention it casually to your manager.

Good advice, but I would ask around with coworkers first. It might be something like: the person in question has been given a reduced load because they’re just coming back from a heart attack.

This is kind of cheating, but here’s a movie-length edit of Patrick “Picard” Stewart as Lenin from the miniseries “Fall of Eagles”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsiU0P-swYE

When my BFF’s cat died, they were crying, upset, completely disconsolate. I was a bit suprised that they were even sadder than when their father had died. They said: “it’s because my cat never told me I was doing everything wrong.”

Likewise, there’s a saying along the lines of: every man is a hero to his dog. Some people talk to plants, or hug stuffed animals. So I think there’s value to that kind of relationship. Obviously if you ONLY talk to plants or stuffed animals then you might get a little weird, but otherwise it seems OK.

bc some people just mindlessly trust the franchises. Kelly had a cartoon about this.

In general, I use the simplest technology that does the job. So it really depends on what you’re generating names for. A lot of times, just selecting items from a list of firstnames and lastnames is enough.

In the name of christianity, they also burned thousands of books, leaving only 4 behind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_codices

jungle reclaimed that land, hiding them. (mayan temples, for example.)

I bet you those half-buried mayan temples were THE spot where all mayan teenagers went to hang out.
