My whole childhood the Gates was touted as this super altruistic, good rich person who was all about charity. It was only after I found out about the whole Oxford vaccine thing (indenting my aside/rant)
that I found out that the Foundation was always just a way to rehabilitate an image of ruthlessness I never knew he had. I guess it worked, given how he was discussed when I was growing up, but hopefully he won't be able to do it again.
I went from 6 to the 7 Pro which I'm still rocking, even as it starts to crave the abyss. I just...really like not having a forward facing camera unless I summon it.
My husband's work in R&D often involves him looking to nature to find ways to improve the efficiency of designs and materials. Evolution has done a lot of trial and error that often results in the most efficient way to deal with a problem, so giving a look to natural adaptions seems like a smart move.
And that's why everything that we've designed to solve a problem in our house is a crab.
It's interesting how different people interpret attitude in vastly different ways. Because where you (and others I've seen in other threads) find him smug and an asshole, I only ever found him to be extremely sincere and excited to learn and educate.
Although, I'd love to know what channels you watch that cover similar topics! Wasting time on YouTube doesn't feel as unproductive if the videos are educational...
Bouldering was a breakthrough for me. I didn't like top rope climbing because climbing just felt like an endurance test (admittedly, I was not climbing well) and I found belaying both boring and extremely stressful.
But bouldering feels like solving a puzzle and is something I can do both by myself and socially.
Thanks for sharing! I ended up following it up with the video this creator did on BluScutti and this top comment from BluScutti himself genuinely made me tear up a bit:
"Amazing video scout! Its amazing to be in one of your videos since your videos are what got me into the Tetris scene in the first place."
My family were doing a dog sledding trip and my brother came off and hit his head. We ended up putting him on my sled, with my job being to keep him awake in case he had a concussion. So I asked him to explain the rules to Twilight Imperium to me which, luckily and unluckily, took. Hours.
I've never hated, but been glad for, a game I've never played more...
(but I'm glad that you, and my brother, and other people get so much enjoyment from them!)
The manosphere shit actually doesn't bother me as much as the very casual, low effort stuff on meme communities that just make me feel completely valueless and like nothing will ever change.
