What was your favourite subject or class in school?
Graphic and Print Communications, which was a fancy term for operating a vocational-industrial print shop.I excelled at certain academics as well, but didn’t care much for them.
Memrise app has been the most helpful. I’ve learned 29 words and phrases in a week and a half. I also watch Introduction to the Spanish Language on The Great Courses, and watch a few YouTube videos. But Memrise is my favorite by far. I doubt I’ll ever be proficient, but I would like to try.
Perhaps tell them that racists (of any color) are ignorant garbage human beings and you’re not having an ignorant garbage human being for a kid. I am very matter of fact about this, and probably would be if I were a parent as well. There would be consequences if I had a kid who became racist, or sexist, or a bully, etc. But you have to constantly check yourself first, because they’ll learn from you one way or another. Practice what you preach in front of your kids. They will either want to follow your lead or be nothing like you. It is ultimately their decision, and they will face consequences for that decision in the real world.My parents, who were born in 1950 and 1952, didn’t have a lot of memorable qualities, but they made an effort not to be racist. I will definitely give them that, in remembrance.
It’s ok to not be ok. The goal, I think, should be accepting and respecting that there are bad times in life, accompanied by bad feelings (because we’re human), while striving for moments of okayness in spite of them.
A former employer told me that the only way to avoid being sexually harassed at work is to get mean enough to convince them move on to someone else. Unfortunately, that has proved correct.
I have an old iPhone. If I get a choice next time, I’ll want to go back to Android. But I’ll take what is given to me and like it.
Do you prefer very spicy or non-spicy food?
A happy medium would be great.
