my one skill is expertly manipulating the shape of the eggs I’m cooking so that they fit perfectly onto my toast every time
Remember that post? The one that said “what if we all have super powers but they’re so mundane we don’t realize?” That post? This is proof that post was right

I'm not even American, in fact I've never been to the US of A but whenever I hear John Denver's Country Roads suddenly I'm transported to Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah River and I'm a lonely farmer tending to my crops, it's not much but it's honest work and I feel every word like
DISHONORED || THE KNIFE OF DUNWALL (2013)
If you're in an area that is suffering from wildfire polluted air, I just saw this on Twitter:

Here's a site I found that can tell you how to make these:

This is really sad, but it's at least kind of encouraging that he's still trying
Absolutely. The spirit of learning should be nurtured at any age. Read on, info warrior!
Hey, this is exactly how you expand your vocabulary - stumbling across new words, looking them up, and then remembering that. And they're still having fun reading the book, so they're probably going to remember the words they pick up. This is good!
I see y'all in the notes making fun of this, don't fucking shame people for learning stuff late. It's not like this guy can go back in time and do more reading as a kid/teenager, do you want people to learn new things, or do you expect everyone to just wallow in ignorance if they weren't lucky enough to be taught things as a kid/teenager? And they don't need an easier book either, if they're engaged with this one and understanding it, they're fine.
Looking up those words is doing the right thing, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
I was given a dictionary as a present when I was about eight years old (my parents were like that) and I still have it.
However I also read it right through like a novel, because nobody told me that's not what you do with dictionaries, and there was a result.
After so long I'm not so sure about my own grammar and syntax, but - my Mum used to joke about it - for a while my vocabulary ranged from impressive to remarkable to downright ostentatious.
And even somewhat odd, because being able to read a word and say it aloud didn't always mean it was being correctly pronounced (the delights of English strike again...)
Looking up word meanings doesn't even need a dictionary nowadays, just a few open tabs; I have no idea how Small Me would have responded to that, and finding the properly succinct descriptive term for such a response would probably require a thesaurus... ;-P
Ditto. All the dittos. Also encyclopedias, thesauruses and books of quotations. Because nobody ever told me I shouldn't.
being a scavenger animal must be so fucking great. imagine if every time someone died a new restaurant opened up downtown.
I know, I know, gatekeeping the outdoors, that's supposedly bad, right, but I think if you show up to do a hike and you brought a portable speaker with you to play music while you hike, I think, like hear me out, there should be a gate, and someone at the gate should keep you from doing the hike.
playing music in public should get strong social disapproval
Recorded music, anyway. Live music is different rules. If you want to lug an entire cello up a mountain you can do whatever the hell you want.
Carrying a speaker on a hike to make everyone listen to your bullshit, and simply sitting under a tree and playing a fiddle in the woods, are two activities so different they may as well not exist in the same world.
