auto immune disorders happen when the immune system ignores regulatory factors and begins attacking healthy bodily tissues, due to what scientists refer to as "sheer love of the game"

PARENT: I got "rubber duck" for my child's "bath" and she loves it.

AUTISM RESPONSE: Rubber ducks and other rubber bath toys can accumulate mold on the inside because of small holes underneath where moisture becomes trapped. The mold often goes unnoticed because it's not visible from the outside.

CORRECT RESPONSE(?): That's nice, I am unaware of how mold could impact this situation.

Fictional country: average fantasy

Fictional small town in the middle of nowhere in real country: par for the course in any genre

Fictional major city in real country: standard fair, but it's usually clearly based on a real city

Fictional suburb of real major city in real country: strange but I can see the application

Real major city in fictional country: Chicago can be anywhere you dream of

I just learned about the existance of “pretend to work” spaces in China where you can pay to pretend to work at a realistic looking fake office so that you can take selfies to pretend that you have a job and get your family to stop asking why you’re unemployed. Which is like such a capitalism thing that I have no joke to make about it.

When you pick up a sword for the first time you will be slow and awkward. This is frustrating, but refuse the temptation to try and become a “faster” fencer. Chasing after speed is like trying to catch smoke. If you try and pursue speed, all you will accomplish is haste. Haste is the enemy of 1st class fencing.

Speed is a lie the untrained mind tells itself when it sees an action it cannot follow. The truth is a combination of timing, control, and fluidity. Fluid motion, even done slowly, will always arrive before a hasty strike. Control will allow you to move without wasteful motion that will slow you down. Timing will eliminate the need to move fast almost entirely. There is no need to get somewhere fast so long as you get there at the right time.

This is true for plenty of other things too!! When you’re learning anything that involves moving your body, don’t forget that quality of movement is more important than speed!

I’m at a point in my Spanish understanding where I can watch native content with subtitles but the problem is that nobody on planet earth has any respect for the art of making good subtitles no matter what language it is

I’ve lived alone cooking for one and I’ve been the main cook in the house for several people. I’ve worked with a budget of ten dollars and I’ve worked with a weekly budget of three hundred dollars. And either way there’s just never enough freezer space somehow.

One pitfall when trying to analyze fantasy settings based on real world history is ignoring all of the worldbuilding implications the magic has, and I notice some posts here are maybe a bit over-eager about sharing such information to the point where they fall into it.

For example, posts saying that fantasy settings where gender equality and queer people are normalized are unrealistic because in real life the child mortality rate was very high and etc.

Except they're talking about a story is not set in Real Life Medieval Europe but in a world with versatile healing magic made accessible even to the poor to some degree through church charity or government public health institutions, and even spells or magical items that can instantly and completely transition someone.

Or that one post that was going around about how expecting the demon army to surrender after the defeat of the demon king is "great man theory" but in pretty much all fantasy settings that have such a thing as a demon king he's usually a demigod who can legitimately solo armies, is physically near-invulnerable, and obliterate entire cities.

Killing the demon king in such a setting would be less like assassinating the president and more like erasing the enemy's nuclear weapons. It's actually credible that the balance of power might start to shift from there even ignoring the effects on morale.

If you ignore stuff like that you might actually be engaging with the setting less than the rationalist fanfic writers.
