You don’t really have imposter syndrome, the people who do are struggling much harder.

I am told that in the movie Dances with Wolves, all the language consultants were women, and as a result all the characters speak with a noticable “women’s accent” that is very noticablevto older Lakota viewers.

Same way where I grew up in South Dakota, except each school only taught one language.

Because ignoring Nazis as they spread their hate has always worked out great historically, hasn’t it?

To quote Wally Pleasant:

🎵
I walked into a store has a sign said “No shirt no shoes no service”
I was wearing a shirt and shoes, but still I was nervous
Everyone got silent when I walked into the room
They were all staring at my fruit… of the loom
Pants! Who the hell needs 'em?

Request additional trash bins from your municipality. Save one for regular refuse, use all the rest each week to fill with things you’re getting rid of.

Space Westerns, more Space Westerns pls

We’re either there or close, but just like last time you asked this, nobody’s going to do this in secret. They’d be bragging their asses off.

It’s right now. Indies everywhere, and we’ve successfully gotten past the worst of the always-online bullshit and PTW that plagued the early part of the millennium. More than half of my “all time favorite” games are still in active production today (sometimes continued by fans), and I’m not a young guy.

I’m a big Neal Stephenson fan, but the Baroque Cycle was a friggen’ case study in his worst failing at the time: Unable to to tye all the narrative threads into a neat ending, he just. kept. writing. book after book until he finally petered out.

I don’t really have a lot of experience with it.

When I was in college I knew a lot of students who came from China and weren’t planning to return after graduation, and I knew a lot of students who were children of professionals who had done the same a generation ago.

But since leaving college I have not really interacted with first or second generation Chinese immigrants.

I’ve only seen it used to play games on school / public computers. The game runs from the USB, since the user doesn’t have permission to install software on the computer’s harddrive.

Taco Johns is the favorite, obviously.

Optimi sunt.

Jokes aside, they’re just people like the rest of us, by and large. Except for the Quebecoise…

Okay jokes aside for real this time, Latin America is too big and diverse to lump together. There’s a few commonalities, like:

• soccer / futbol
• jus soli citizenship
• good food

…but two out of three of those you’ll also find in Anglo-America.

It’s either you or the day itself. If it’s the day, just wait it out. If it’s you, it’s either your self-perception that’s off, in which case some affirmations or treating yourself to even a small glowup might help; or something has gone subtly wrong, most likely sleep deprivation or dehydration. So drink some water, take a nap, use the nice hair product as a treat, and tell yourself you’re a sexy badass.

Going to the same place 5 days a week

A lot of jobs involve travel, on a variety of scales. My brother is a civil engineer and is on a different site every week. I personally like the routine of going to the same place, but that’s not a requirement for employment.

coming home with no time and energy left

I mean, that sucks. But you don’t necessarily have to work that many hours or that demanding a job. I do work a physically and emotionally demanding job; I prefer to work on personal projects and household tasks during the day, go to my job in the evenings, and then it doesn’t matter that I come home tired; I go right to bed.

for anything you actual like

A lot of people like their job. Another respondent said she wouldn’t do her job for free; I probably would if I could afford to. It makes me happy. I can’t afford to and am pretty zealous about making sure I earn a competitive rate, but I even enjoy that aspect, the competition of it.

doing this for FOURTY years or even more

I mean, it doesn’t have to be the same work that while time. At forty, I’ve been a programmer, a teacher, a waitress, and a full-time parent. I’m thinking about picking up a trade, becoming an electrician or a carpenter or a plumber. As long as you keep learning and keep experimenting, you’ll have an interesting life.

even then

“Add” beans to chili? It’s a bean dish! The main ingredient is beans!

The colors on a monitor are defined by what wavelength they emit. The colors of paints are defined by what wavelength they fail to absorb. When you mix colors on a monitor, you add more wavelengths that are emitted. When you mix paints, you add more wavelengths hat are absorbed, meaning fewer are reflected for you to see.
