I was trying to describe something that was pissing me off but xkcd already articulated it better than I could

I'm just like. I'm very tired of the hyper individualist cynicism that's so common on here, where so many tumblrinas feel very confident saying that nobody can read, everyone is dumb, most people are unwashed dullards etc. except for me, the very special tumblr user who's smart enough to notice that everyone else is very stupid. come on now.

I think if your worldview relies on the unquestioned assumption that most people suck you're like. how do I put this kindly. philosophically you've maybe never moved past the mindset of a socially uncomfortable seventh grader.

So like do y'all ever think about how Ragatha was witness to every abstraction that occurred after Queenie? Every. Single. One. She was the first person outside the dev team to be scanned in. And Kinger wasn't sane so she's been watching all this happen with no one to comfort her. I think about it a lot.

"Isn't it weird that [thing humans commonly eat] is poisonous to literally every domesticated animal" I mean, there's a pretty good chance that [thing humans commonly eat] is at least mildly poisonous to humans, too. One of our quirks as a species is that we think our food is bland if it doesn't have enough poison in it.

xeansicemane

Humans have a really weird mix of mundane superpowers.

We're not fast and don't have a lot of natural weaponry but we're bizarrely tolerant to a broad range of toxins to the point that one toxin is considered a morning necessity for some to perform at work. Gotta love us.

I've seen it pointed out a few times that the various toxins mentioned above did technically have the desired effect, given humans started cultivating the plants and thus protected them from predators/insects, and spreading their seeds far and wide. I just like the idea of evolution/DNA in the examples above being like a benevolent Monkey Paw for the plants.

Ummmm you gonna order dawg or can I????

I love the thought of Grace and Rocky slowly figuring out what's an 'alien' thing and what's a 'them' thing. It's mentioned a couple times in the book and it's so fun, because these are two people who have been pushed to their absolute limit both physically and mentally, in unbelievably horrific situations, and they are. the only living example of their respective species. for several years in Rocky's case and probably decades if not forever in Grace's.

Like, Grace thinking that all Eridians are very physically busy because of their brain structure driving them to engage with multiple different lines of thought or even conversation at once only to find out when they get to Erid that Rocky is just the most tightly wound ball of nerves anyone has ever met and if he doesn't have something to do with his hands he gets anxious.

Rocky thinking it's very normal for humans to have large gaps in their memory and/or occasionally dissociate for several minutes at a time and come back crying, then hearing the nannybot mention 'potential amnestic side effects' one day and falling down a WebMd rabbit hole that ends with a very high pitched scolding.

Grace finding out that for all his badgering, Rocky actually sleeps and eats as little as physically possible for a functional Eridian, a habit he picked up out of mingled fear and practicality as the only remaining crew aboard in case of emergency.

Both of them getting much better at reading each other and much worse at lying once they've established what's a normal quirk for the species and what's an alarming stress response. Nobody likes this. Interspecies trauma exchange. So many stones are thrown in this glass biodome.

everyday i mourn that my parents did not make me study five languages during my critical window of language acquisition (2 to 7 years)

kailan-sunshine

Hi! Language teacher here!

If there isn't a fluent speaker around to practice with regularly, it doesn't matter how many languages you make a small child study. They aren't going to speak any of them.

I can also confirm (anecdotally) that my adult students learned much quicker than any of the kids I worked with, and exponentially faster than any of the toddlers I taught.

If you want to learn a language, go learn it! You are fully capable of doing so as an adult, and you didn't miss any windows.

The critical window of language acquisition describes the window where-in the brain can acquire the ability to figure out **any** language. It's about sounds/grammar/ the 'system' of language. If you've learned 1 language your brain is capable of using that language system to figure out the rest. If kids learn 0 languages and that window passes they won't be able to figure out languages at all. See the Genie Wiley case for a better example/explanation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genie_(feral_child)
