Years ago, I moved to a place where I didn't speak the language. My initial strategy for dealing with interactions I didn't understand was to simply say "no." I figured this was safe - at least I wouldn't agree to something I didn't want. One day, as I was leaving my apartment with a friend, the guy across the hall asked me a question. "No," I said. He looked like I'd spit in his face then retreated to his apartment. My friend, dumbfounded, asked &quot…

The original Jurassic Park flick was released in U.S. theaters today (June 11) in 1993. I was 13 at the time, and had actually read Crichton's book. I was psyched to see Jurassic Park in the theater, which I did, with my family. I loved it- it was wild. I was intrigued by dinosaurs then, and still am. But this was and still is the only JP movie I've seen- I never saw any of the sequels.
I've certainly had a crush on Laura Dern ever since 😍

Det finnes alternative samfunnsformer hvor mennesker ikke nŸdvendigvis må forvalte livet sitt etter arbeidsmarkedets krav om lŸnn og profitt.

I slike alternative systemer kan mennesker i stŸrre grad selv bestemme over egen arbeidskraft og leve uten å være avhengige av penger som hovednŸdvendighet fo…

Opinion | The Paris Métro Smell That Transports Me
A whiff of the Paris Métro flings me back to a summer I spent in France.

Semi-anonymous Internet friend relationships must be so weird to people who aren't used to the culture.
Example 1: guy I've known on IRC for probably ten years and I consider a fairly good friend, I have his personal phone number, we talk quite often.
But I only know roughly what city he's in and his first name. He's in my phone as [first name] [irc handle].
Example 2: Catgirl I've known for a couple of years, she's been to my house, I've been to…

qa_user: User interactions on Q&A websites (2016)
