I’m standing, that’s the way I always wiped, maybe I was taught to do it this way, but now I’m a big man and I think it would be messy now to write while sitting like my hands wouldn’t fit, we need to research this further, maybe it’s geographical thing, specific to a country, their toilet sizes and it’s history or something
Someone had created !typewriters and I could swear it had some content, but engagement was low at the time and I think the creator abandoned it. I can move ownership to you if you’re up to it.
Hey, I’ve replied to your post. I see it has a few upvotes, which implies that federation is working.
In regards to another member - he might have trouble initially if nobody from their instance had subscribed to the community, yet. Once subscribed, everything should be fine.
I guess you don’t see it too much these days (outside of maybe yearbooks or collections of inspirational quotes), but Frost’s “I took the one less traveled by,/And that has made all the difference.”
If you read the rest of the poem the narrator explicitly states in several different ways that the roads are pretty much the same. So the narrator is saying that by later on saying the roads are different he’ll be retroactively be justifying his choice or just not telling the truth about it.
Even after rereading the poem I had to read the Wikipedia analysis section to be convinced you are right. It’s a very subtle poem, which, honestly, just makes it better.
I always thought the confusion came from just seeing the last two lines out of context, because the poem itself has descriptions like “Then took the other, just as fair”, “Had worn them really about the same”, and “both that morning equally lay”. It seemed like Frost was really hammering home the equality, considering 15% (3/20) of the lines are talking about the similarities.
That’s the thing. Being just as fair doesn’t necessarily imply it’s equally travelled. Even being worn the same doesn’t necessarily mean equally traveled, although it strongly implies it. I think the final line is so certain that it overrides the earlier lines and implies to the unwary reader that these similar paths actually were differently travelled.
I don’t expect self contradiction in a story / poem. So that certainty of there being a difference overrides all.
It’s only after reading the author’s intentions that I know for sure that the contradiction was intended and that was actually the point of the poem.
As I said before, this makes me like the poem even more now.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. And as far as I can tell Einstein never said it but it’s always attributed to Einstein
Once the source of the hangover headache was located, the researchers then set about figuring out how to get rid of the pesky things, using known headache blockers. Turns out the combination of caffeine and over-the-counter inflammatory drugs (i.e., NSAIDs – things like aspirin and ibuprofen) were best at blocking the head-pounding effects of the acetate.
I don’t know if anyone else has mentioned it yet but next time take the ibuprofen before going to bed (while still intoxicated). My friends and I always set out an ibuprofen next to the bed before drinking to remember. You’ll feel 10x better in the morning.
I try to avoid ibuprofen or Tylenol as they’re hard on the liver and kidneys which are already working overtime to flush the alcohol out of your system.
When widespread violence is already in play, then the use of widespread violence in opposition is justified. It’s not always the right move, though.
Edit to add that, looking at history, those advocating for large-scale violence in pursuit of a righteous cause are typically more interested in the violence than the cause.
Not so much an answer to your question, but I want to push back on the idea that Hamas are in any way about defending the rights of ordinary Palestinians. They are a genocidal hate group who use other Palestinians as pawns in their terrorist atrocities. Think whatever you want about Israel and support whatever solution to the situation you like (unless it’s genocide - don’t support that), but don’t think that Hamas are in any way the good guys.
If in doubt, just remember - the good guys never murder babies. Hannah are not freedom fighters, they are evil.
Don’t forget to drink water the night before , you will feel better the next day. Its dehydration that hit us the most so being hydrated while and after drinking helps a lot.
