I think the kid wording was bunny ears, if I remember correctly. I bet there are youtubes and wikihows showing both methods. One moment. Bunny ears is the second method in the wikihow. https://www.wikihow.com/Tie-Your-Shoes Bored fucked around with this message at 03:05 on Jun 22, 2023 |

In my native language there is only one word for the knot, no matter how one arrives at it. It's a good language for the dumb. But it's also a culture where we take our shoes off when we visit someone, so when it's time to leave i tie my shoes in the bathroom to avoid shame. My friends think I have IBS and i'm not gonna to correct them

I struggle to remember passwords, because I make an effort to have a different one for everything, so I do the thing you're not supposed to and keep passwords in a little notebook in my desk

Until extremely recently I thought that scene in the simpsons with Jimbo and Bart's neighbour he was saying "this shirt is chiefin' me" and thought it was some slang I'd never heard, not the word chafing.

The notebook I keep at my desk, I write in it starting at the last page and moving towards the front as pages fill up. I started doing this because I'm lefthanded with lazy penmanship from the days when ink would smear. I rest my hand on the page as I write; so I would smear the ink from one page as I write on the next. Going last page first essentially solved the problem. Ink pens don't really smear these days, but I still do it out of habit. E: I also write all my passwords in there, but you practically need a Rosetta stone to find them. I've also listed fake passwords just for additional confusion. It is a very, very, messy journal. Took me 15 minutes to find my Amazon password the other day. My brother was visiting and noticed it, asked what it was, and asked if he could take a peek. I let him, and after about a minute he said, "Jesus Christ. What's wrong with you?"

And its just not proper environmental storytelling when a brave adventurer roots through your decimated home in a post apocalyptic future and doesn't find any journals with clues

I'm not a bad driver according to my insurance papers, but pretty awful at reversing and can usually spot a driver glaring at my side mirror as I'm crawling out of the parking spot. But that's just the tip of my iceberg of shortcomings.

After visiting three waterparks and three amusement parks during the middle of June, I realized how out of the loop I am on leg ailments. Here's a couple that I witnessed and I'll add more if I remember them:

I work in the sciences and am one of few people employed at a very large research facility that doesn't explicitly have a BSc, or Masters degree for that matter. I am surrounded by incredibly smart PhDs, who on a technical level are leagues beyond my mental capabilities. I'm pretty savvy though; I can make myself either legitimately useful, or to appear legitimately useful to almost anyone. I am dumb in all the specialties, but I am a jack of all trades that just gets poo poo done out of fear of failure and I try to be honest when I think I'm over my head. Luckily, the thing about scientists - a lot of them are very good at their one thing and not very good at everything else, so I've got a bit of a niche. It's still strange showing up to work day in and day out and feeling like the dumbest guy in the building, but then shooting the poo poo with your buddies on the weekend and being treated like "the smart one."
