I hate linguistic anthropology. Why? One of the most influential experiments in linguistic anthropology involved teaching a chimp asl. One of the most influential linguistics is named Noam Chomsky. You know what the chimp’s name was?

Nim Chimpsky.

Fucking monkey pun.

And this is in textbooks, in documentaries, everywhere. And everyone just IGNORES THIS GOD AWFUL PUN cause of how important the experiment was. But

BUT LOOK AT THIS SHIT. FUCKING NIM CHIMPSKY. I HATE THIS WHOLE FIELD.

I was going to write a Stormlight Archive post with something along the lines of, "and then you have Traumas Georg over here," and then I realized that it's, like, so unclear which character that means. It could be one of several. It could be just about anyone. So, who has the best claim to "Traumas Georg" in Stormlight? Vote below!

I think that harrow will definitely confess her love for gideon first. Now whether it will be intelligible to anyone as a love confession is a different question

alright. the differences between the ghostbloods on roshar and the ghostbloods on scadrial are so stark.....after TLM came out and we saw them fr for the first time it was like....this is just Final Empire Crew Part 2. they call him 'kell'. they have stupid in jokes. its not that i think kelsier is above getting a little evil with it but when marasi doesnt join the ghostbloods it's whatever but when shallan doesn't join she's like "um guys theyre going to kill my entire family." did iyatil pop over from scadrial like actually this time we're operating like an actual secret society and NOT a frat house

Anyway I have put a lot of thought into this and the way I would fix Gideon is by slowly giving her tasks and praising her for each one but gradually the tasks become like "speak to someone you like" and "do something you enjoy for its own sake" and after a while of speaking to people who she's friends with we would move on to "do you think your friends would be happy to see you treated this way" and introduce the concept that people enjoy her personality not just what she can do and THEN we can introduce the concept that she might want to do things just because she wants them and she can decide for herself how she wants to spend her time. and then I will kill everyone who was mean to her.

The ground pin is round so it's a lot more work to connect a wire to it

Plus it's just tenants, it's not like anyone important is paying to live there

as i approach the end of my lease im reminded of this beautiful fixture in my home

thank you, landlords, for everything you do.

im not sure what it is you do, but you make significantly more money than me so it must be something, right?

people say folks with adhd struggle with "delayed rewards" aka long term goals and as such we tend to focus more on short term rewards. what they don't talk about is that at when we Do accomplish long term goals we don't actually feel anything proportionate to the amount of work we did to achieve it. In my head I suffered for a while and then money spontaneously appeared in my bank account.
