Oh, that sucks. This is why we can't have nice things.

What @[email protected] said seems to be correct, they apparently have some problems right now, I can't reach the website. It worked yesterday, when I posted the link. I'll try again later to link some I like, I hope they are able to resolve the problems soon.

There's also LibriVox for audiobooks of public domain books read by volunteers. They vary in quality but some of my favourite audiobooks are from there.

Sextidi. It's what the sixth day was called in the French Revolutionary Calendar's ten-day week. But to follow the example of the Roman Gregorian calendar month-naming scheme, it will of course be the eighth day of the week. Also it contains the word "sex" which I expect will lead to both a lot of snickering teenagers and a lot of accidentally censored weekdays.

In German, Teams used to show people as "kostenlos" which does mean "free" but in the sense of "free of charge", not "available". They fixed it eventually but it caused much confusion with people asking if there are times when the calls are not free of charge.

My personal Teams translation highlight was a hint explaining to me how I could reorder a list. It said "Nachbestellung hier". Which again does mean "reorder here" but reorder as in the thing you do when you buy the same thing again, a repeat order.

And apparently the shortcut key r doesn't stand for rechts (right) but for insert. Which is not only English but also the one thing all of those for options have in common.

Pretty similar to you. I don't really remember specifically learning about it, it was just another topic I gradually learned things about. I vaguely remember having a book designed for children explaining the basic concepts and I probably asked my parents stuff and they answered. Then later we had sex ed in school several times.

Knowing my mom, she probably talked to me as a teenager and asked if there was something I wanted to ask. But I don't really remember, so I guess it wasn't especially awkward, just a normal conversation.

Here's my two cents: I used to be incredibly shy, introverted and socially anxious in school. Then I went to university, grew more confident, made new friends and really blossomed. I personally don't think I would have done that if I had someone who did everything for me.

Be there for him, support him, give him advice if he wants it, but don't deprive him of this opportunity of learning how to handle himself.

Migraines. At least it's a good way to get away from the stressful situation, because I don't have a choice unless I want to throw up and I will look so bad that people immediately believe me. So... thanks, migraines?

I'm not USian and to me it sounds absolutely unreasonable. As in who would even think of gifting someone they at most barely know more than the flowers and chocolate for their birthday. As an average college student you wouldn't even be expected to gift 100$ (or € in my case, but they're close enough) at a wedding where I live.

But I guess the culture about gift giving is very different here, so I guess I should leave it to people from the US.

Yeah, they were probably just really irritated or even scared.

Also it seems very dangerous unless it's some sort of breakaway thing. And even then really unnecessary.

I did not mean to make it seem like I was quoting a specific question word for word, it was more about the general concept, however it is worded. It might be worded as you put it or not be about actors. Or like my example be more generally about movie scenes. Or...

Unlike my native language, English is usually ungendered and I sometimes forget that there are some few exceptions to that rule.

When all examples they ever give for anything consist completely of men.

Have you ever looked into a reddit post on a topic like "Who are the best actors of all time?" Thousands of comments, nearly all male actors. "Worst actors?" Also all men. "Examples of this trope?" Only scenes with men. Stock photos or drawn figures to illustrate their point? You guessed it – all men (unless it's sexist in another way).

For some men we just don't exist as people of equal significance.

And not just fat people. It helps prevent cardiovascular diseases.

For me the biggest benefit aside from generally increased fitness is how it helps with my mental health. It's hardly a new revelation that exercising regularly is good for your mental health. But it's so much easier to get yourself to move when you have to to get somewhere than it is if it's purely for exercise. At least for me.

"Elinor agreed to it all for she did not think he deserved the compliment of rational opposition." is a sentiment I relate to on a deep level.
