cars are faster than public transportation anywhere that isn't a city center lol

article about her latest album -- getting out of the kpop grind: https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/8543891/lim-kim-generasian-k-pop-interview

The whole album is cool: entrance

these are the ones I'm reading at the moment - or plan to read in the near future (during christmas break after my exams).

• the varitional principles of mechanics by cornelius lanczos (physics)

• Peter F hamilton's commonwealth series (SF)

• a book on solving linear systems (maths)

• Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (CS)

I'm assuming you're American.

Americans travelling through europe make me cringe because they spend more time travelling from city to city than visiting the cities themselves. Everything will seem close to you (in American distances, it is), but imo it's a trap to try to visit every capital: they all have their own rich history, and you'll miss it if you only go to the tourist spots.

So my suggestion would be to spend (at least) ~3 whole days in each city you visit: one for walking around the city center, one to go to museums, and one to visit someplace outside of the capital.

It's hard to rank the cities themselves since they're all so different, but I really liked Rome. Maybe you could do an "Italy tour" with Rome, Venice, Florence...

How real are the claims about uyghur muslims being abused is? Especially the part about them being killed for their organs.

I strongly believe that china is abusing this minority, but the claims about organ harvesting is so "comic book evil" that it feels like western propaganda. On the other hand, humanity has had it's fair share of absolute evil, so...

What do you believe?

edit:sorry for asking so late btw

I go hiking!

In france, it's free/legal to bivouac in the national parks, if we stay next to the paths. I often go walking for ~1-2 week in summer with a friend. Once the upfront costs of bag/boots/tent/tarp are payed for, it's a really cheap way to go on holidays and walk away from civilization for some time.

Unnatural vegan youtube channel has videos on being vegan while pregnant. I haven't seen them thought.

I've been memorizing countries and their capitals. Mostly so that I can challenged friends and brag. It's way more fun that it looks like!

If we were fully rational, yeah, apologies would be useless.

We are a social animal thought, guided by emotions. So even if apologies are just made to make people "feel good", well that is in fact pretty big.

They also convey the acknowledgement of error, it's like anti-gas-lighting.

Nice.

It makes me think of la femme - où vas le monde.

I'd prefer to have my city commissioner be an anarchist than otherwise.

Worse case scenario you won't have much of an impact but learn a lot anyways. Best case scenario, you'll help people from your community.

imo you should go for it.

hot take: chicken run is a about class revolution and feeding the bourgies into their own machine.

kiwen, which is the toki pona for rock/hard object

neo perreo, witch house, deep house.

good examples for each genre are dj lizzlove3, blvck ceiling, park hye jin.

Space exploration is compatible with my vision of anarchism.

Be bummed no more!

I've been using anki (flashcard app for computer and android phones) for some time now, and it's quite good:

• I get to digest my lessons when I make the flashcards, by choosing what's important or not.

• I can flick through them in the bus in the morning. It makes studying feel easy, while still clocking in ~30 mins a a day of revisions.

What are the things he's showing in the cartoon? underpants?

TIL about the food mofongo

Single use username, I use burner usernames as much I can wherever I go online., I think I was thinking about carmen by stromae at the time for this one. maybe.
