    I totally believe the part about people commenting “I could never live in X place” unprompted and I’m all for people living wherever makes them happy!

    It’s the rest of the post that reads like someone trying to think of a clever comeback in their shower hours after the conversation already ended.




  • I believe women and men should have equal rights and opportunities and that neither should be forced into certain roles or coddled because of their gender. However I also don’t believe that acknowledging differences between men and women is sexist, nor that equal opportunities resulting in unequal outcomes is a necessarily a result of sexism. I leave it up to others if they want to consider that feminism since I never associated myself with that particular term.

    So, I looked it up out of curiosity and the three most common explanations for the name “nurse shark” are 1) “the sucking sound they make when hunting for prey in the sand, which vaguely resembles that of a nursing baby.” 2) “derived from an archaic word, nusse, meaning cat shark.” 3) “Coming from the Old English word for sea-floor shark: hurseLink

    If you think that’s odd, you’ll find bird names even more entertaining :)

    It’s cool that you were able to get so close to one, OP.




  • If your goal was fluency, immigration, or finding employment, I would suggest learning the language of the countries where you would most like to go and which you have the most opportunity to practice in person. It sounds like you want to learn recreationally though, in which case I would say choose the one that excites you more, as you’re more likely to continue learning that way. You can also start by learning the very basics of both and see which you find more engaging before committing to studying one more intensively.







  • If you don’t mind me asking, how many sessions did you have? For some people it takes more to fully remove the hair.

    Epilators are noisy but they hurt less than waxing. Mine has a light on it that’s helpful for spotting hairs I missed. They can’t cut you, although if you run them over folded skin they might pinch a little.

    Electrolysis would be even better but it’s very expensive. I heard it’s usually done on smaller patches of hair. Full leg, bikini, and armpits would be a lot.




  • I personally don’t feel any more of a connection to a book based on whether it’s a paper copy or electronic one, even though I prefer paper books.

    I could sort of understand how others might form an attachment from holding something that contains one specific story that’s significant to them vs. a device that contains many different things.
