#‘el pastel promedio tiene tres leches’ es en realidad un error estadístico. El pastel promedio tiene 0 leches. Leches Georg#quien vive en una cueva y absorbe 10.000 leches al día#es un valor atípico qeu no debería haberse contado (via @deathbycoldopen)
I don't speak Spanish but I understand every word
I appreciate 'adn' being preserved in the form of 'qeu', that's absolutely beautiful.
Sokka was always like "I'm starving!" And "Where's the MEAT??" and "Yay! Free food! Grab as much as you can, guys!" But...
They never starved, you know? Sokka went hunting or fishing whenever they stopped long enough-- and even if the catch wasn't as much as he wanted to, I don't recall them ever going hungry.
When they were low on money and supplies, Sokka got a job on a fishing boat (Storm Episode). Or asked for food and money, as thanks for saving the village (Hei Bei Forest/spirit-kidnapping episode). Or something similar, the make sure that even if supplies were low, the pot was never entirely empty.
That's a skill.
Contrast that with Zuko and Iroh. Their first attempt at fishing caught barely a mouthful. They went hungry often-- even AFTER they began to resort to begging and stealing. They couldn't forage because they didn't know how to tell the edible from the poisonous.
It's easy to view Sokka as just the funny guy: he cultivated that part of his image, even. It's EASY to say that elite fighters with Royal tutors and private schools, etc, are better educated or more skilled than some teen from the Southern Water Tribe.
But when push came to shove? When it came to personally ensuring that nobody goes hungry while they're on this epic cross-country quest?
Sokka had them beat.
And I think if Sokka ever couldn’t find or catch enough food for all of them, he would come back with what he had and say he already ate some of it.
“Ugh, you always think just because you’re the oldest you get to eat first,” Katara chides him. She rolls her eyes and grumbles under her breath about how boys are annoying and she wishes she had a sister.
Sokka just stretches casually and pats his stomach, hoping the rumbling will stay quiet enough that his sister can’t hear it.
Sokka’s constant insecurity with food and tendency to eat as much as he can at feasts etc. even though he’s perfectly capable of providing for the group indicates a past of food insecurity.
Remember in episode one, how desperate and invested he seemed out hunting with Katara? How uncertain it seemed that he’d catch anything, even though it’s made clear by the rest of the show he’s a competent provider? How angry he was when he blamed Katara’s “weird magic” for costing him the kill (he didn’t see the fish she’d caught with her bending)? The water tribe seem alright for food now (Katara’s just carrying around a fish to feed penguins later), but it’s likely that they were left hungry for awhile, during or after the Fire Nation attacks.
At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields
At the risk of sounding like an effete intellectual, I do actually think you should be allowed to just take college courses indefinitely
technically you can, if you don't care about degrees.
Free Harvard courses. Free Courses from Stanford. Free Courses from MIT. Free courses from Yale. Free courses from Princeton.
Free courses on Coursera.
Free Courses on EDx Free Courses on Alison
For paid, there's The Great Courses+/Wonderium. 20$ a month for unlimited courses.
When searching, the phrases you're looking for are Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), or you can do a general search of say, "free online college courses." Oh, and so you don't get surprised like I did, have an avoid: Hillsdale College is a conservative Christian site and not a valid MOOC place. Sign up with them and you will get things like THIS IS WHY THE LEFT IS TURNING YOUR KIDS TRANS AND GAY in your inbox.
@yourunderwaterskies I wanted to say thank you so much for adding these links, seriously, they've been life-changingly helpful to me-
And I also wanted to mention that humanitarian organisations have free courses too, like the Red Cross on international humanitarian law.
Learn more about the Red Cross International Humanitarian Law (IHL) Program to train policy professionals, government officials, academics,

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.
I couldn't remember the word "doorknob" ten minutes ago.

Confession: The letter “t” key on my laptop has been broken since 2024. From what my research tells me, they can’t fix individual keys on that model, and my laptop is no longer under a warranty, but it seems foolish to fork out over $900 for a new computer, so instead I’ve trained my brain to hit ctrl+v every time I want to hit “t.”
But sometimes I have to copy-paste something else besides “t,” which means I need a readily available place to copy the “t” from.
My first thought was to search “tiger” on Google, but if you can’t type the letter “t,” you just get search results about Bob Iger.
I realized words that end with “t” are easier for Google to autocomplete, so the first one I thought of was “crypt.” But wouldn’t you know, googling “cryp” takes to you to cryptocurrency results, and I REALLY don’t want my algorithm thinking I google that multiple times per week.
Then I remembered a cool place I went in London, called Cafe in the Crypt. It’s exactly what it sounds like and located below St. Martin-in-the-Fields Church. When I type in “Cafe in Cryp,” Google does indeed autocomplete it effectively! So I either keep that search result open in a tab or Google it every day.
So, that being said, if anyone works for St. Martin-in-the-Fields Church’s marketing department and has been utterly flummoxed by an IP address from Virginia that has googled their cafe hundreds of times over the past 6 months… that wasn’t a bot, that was me.
I am the Spiders Georg of Cafe in the Crypt.
Anyway, it’s a pretty cool place to check out if you’re ever in London. Just maybe not cool enough to Google it on a daily basis for months straight.

You are not safe from this. You, the person reading this, are not safe from this. No matter how educated or open minded you think you are, you are not safe from this. The moment you think you are safe from it is the moment you become the most susceptible.
Its similar to why you cannot put bad people in a class of their own. The moment you do that you stop being able to see the bad things that the people closest to you do a la "my best friend couldn't have said that racist thing, they're not evil."
The moment you think you are immune from this type of backslide into right wing nonsense is the moment you stop questioning yourself enough to keep yourself from backsliding into right wing nonsense a la "I mean im not antiscience, im vaccinated, I just think that fluoride in our water supply is imparting children's ability to learn as fast as they otherwise could without it."
Remember, being progressive means progressing, its about always moving forward. The moment you rest on your laurels and stop putting in effort to keep the progression is the moment you start becoming left behind.
suck, and i cannot stress this enough, my cock to the fucking base

I love the scene in feet of clay where the mob is trying to kill the golem and carrot comes in and is like you can't kill the golem and they're like well it's not alive it's property, and he's like ok then I could charge you with destruction of property if you try to smash it, and they're like well I heard a golem killed an old man and he's like well if it's property and not a person then it can't kill anyone, see my sword? Couldn't blame my sword if I stabbed you. Either it's a person and destroying it would be murder or its a thing and it can't have committed murder. And then he walks the golem back to where it works, and the boss tries to turn it out onto the street because he heard that a golem had killed someone, and carrot is like if you do that then I'll charge you with littering. It would be malicious compliance if carrot could be malicious
