That's hilarious, I never thought how it looks. I used to do it every day during the summer, coming back from work in Wuhan. I'd just pass the door, drop it all and run into the shower. Had to stop when the mother in law came to live with us, haha!
Media and documentaries are not scientific studies! But they get people talking. And they get scientific studies funded because you can point to the movie's success and say "look, this is an important subject". And they get politicians regulating because they can see the people care.
Whether the movie was actually influential or a product of the zeitgeist I'm not sure.
Tells you something about the impact it had that people would still try to discredit it all those years later!
What's OP's point, eh? McD every day is gonna be healthy if you don't drink. Get outta here!
I think it's more they want a proof that they aren't bragging or crazy when they do feel like they are surrounded by morons. Not sure about the need to show off though. That seems silly.
We got both kids tested at the behest of the school so it's an officially recognized test (WPPSI-IV) but I didn't need a test to tell me I have clever kids. Nor do the teachers after about five minutes chatting with them, usually.
But it was useful to get them sorted in the upper class when there was a doubt. Also it was nice to have some fine grained detail and an actual statistical value of just how different they are. Something I try to keep in mind when dealing with them on the daily.
In France we use the term "High Intellectual Potential" and that's really all it is : potential. It's up to me not to waste it and help them flourish now. So far the teachers also see it and the best they can to also help them flourish but clearly the public school system is barely equipped to grow that potential when there are so many kids in difficulty. A single "social case" kid in a class can fuck things up for everybody around them, it's a fucking nightmare...
If you think all the scientists around the world giggling about all the puns are gonna destroy that ever bountiful source of joy, you got another one coming.
I'll be honest, my thought was not fully formed when I posted. I saw "non-white billionaires" and it reminded how delightful it was how the CCP handled Jack Ma. I wish Elon Musk was treated a bit more like that, instead of being invited in oval office and being given a fucking department with a funky acronyms. Insanity doesn't begin to cover it. Anyway, it appears there is some sort of white privilege going on, even within the 1%
I'm amazed at developers who don't grasp that you don't need to have absolutely everything under the sun in a human readable file format. This is such a textbook case...
"yes sir here are my insurance documents, please take me to the hospital I don't want to die because I'm poor". Thank fuck I don't leave in such a shithole dystopian country just yet.
Such a whiplash for me to see orxata mentioned!
I used to think it was Spain's national drink as we always had it when we would visit my family. Only recently was I informed that it was a Valentian specialty and apparently not that popular (I only ever saw the orxata de xufa brand)
And now you're telling me people outside of decking Catalunya even know about it!
Amazeballs!
Holy shit it would be so good if they got some of the artists. I absolutely love the atmosphere, and even the animals are fine, but the characters really need some improvement.
