Learning to be alone or: Getting lonely?

Our generation is wild. So many requirements from society. Be chatty, go out, meet friends, enjoy your hobbies. Everything is about being present and active. Even social media. Don‘t get me wrong. I enjoy all of these things. But most of the time, I just want to be alone. In my own little bubble, all by myself. Like charging my social battery to do all of this above. Even to be capable of doing these things. Exhausted from everything. From life outside, staying in my safe place. But how can it be so ambivalent? The need of going out, but also just would like to stay in. Communicating with no one. Some say it’s a task or something you have to learn, to be alone. For me it’s the easiest thing ever. But deep down there is a fear in me. Being alone now is my choice, but what if someday it isn’t a choice anymore and it turns into loneliness. So sealed off, no one gets to you. Physically and mentally.

How I manage to take 10,000 steps a day

Taking 10,000 steps a day is not just a number—it's a commitment to longevity. Regular walking strengthens the heart, aids in weight management, and boosts energy levels, while also reducing the risk of chronic diseases. This daily goal encourages consistency, promoting a healthier and potentially longer life. — ChatGPT

You may already have a fairly good idea about the benefits of taking ten thousand steps a day. This article, then, will be more about the how rather than the why. Let's be honest, ten thousand is a lot of steps and if you're just getting started with a more active lifestyle, the number may seem overwhelming. What follows are some tricks and strategies I use to average more than 10,000 steps a day in most weeks. Before we start, I recommend these two articles if you want to know more about why taking ten thousand steps a day is a good idea:

All right, let's get started.

Monitor your steps

This may seem obvious, but it bears stating: you can't control what you can't measure. The first step to getting to t...

Discover Gdynia's Best Eats: A Local's Top Picks for Eating Out

Neon Gdynia

Looking for the best spots to eat in Gdynia? You're in luck! Here are some of my favorite places to eat out in Gdynia. I've had many friends visit me in Gdynia over the years and this is where I usually take them.

  • Bar Mleczny Sloneczny - Visit this place if you want to experience an authentic Polish milk bar. The menu changes daily and consists almost exclusively of typical Polish foods. I recommend kompot, kotlet schabowy and soups. Probably the most affordable place in the center of Gdynia.

  • Ogniem i Piecem Świętojańska - affordable casual pizza place in the center of Gdynia. They serve pizza by the slice, breakfasts, pastas and cakes. It's dog-friendly, has good music, friendly atmosphere and a vaguely "street style" hip vibe.

  • Taverna Zante and Cozzi - a Greek restaurant and an Italian restaurant, both on the same street and with the same owner. Casual dining places with cocktails and Greek / Italian staples. Outdoor seating in spring and summer.

  • Tandyr House, Aga Puri and ISIKA - three Georgian bakeries on Świętojańska street. Tandyr House and ISIKA have small seating areas and most ...

The slow descent into postdoctoral madness

If you wont read any more posts or comments from me, youll realize that my descent into madness was a swift one. Im a last years phd student (in fact 6 months to go and 3 more months hopefully to write) in biology who is grasping to his last bit of sanity at the moment all the while sailing through the troubled waters commonly referred to as the "terrible last year". With work piling up from the last 2,5 years, multiple projects requiring attention and people expecting me to perform well, there is also a constant dread for my future career so the pressure is coming from the past, present and the future ready to gang up on you any time of the day. A general phd in life sciences (and i dont count medicine because its not a real science, sorry early falcon) includes 3-5 years of laboratory labor, depending where you live and how fucked or blessed you are with your supervisor. After the terrible last year, you are kicked out to write your thesis and depending where you life you can be lucky if youre still hired by then or if they lay you off to write your thesis on welfare (social programs yeeaahh am i right ?) By then you are ready to defend your thesis and earn your well deserved title, unless you have decided to quit at any of those moments, which i have seen people do from first year right up to only having to write everything together. Afriend of mine recommended me to start writing a journal book but im terrible with such things...

Is foodie beauty's downfall imminent?

there have been recent reports that foodie beauty's downfall is imminent. Her videos lately have been getting less and less views. And let's be honest, she's just...kind of boring now. Recently she even uploaded two videos of...a grocery haul?

The beginning

Foodie beauty's peak was during what people refer to the "Nader" saga. This was a time when she was dating a...rather questionable but unquestionably abusive and overall just not a bad guy. There was a lot of live drama between the two of them, basically the typical toxic, on and off relationship (with some substances involved) which people enjoyed watching. Mostly because we could see in real time this lady making poor decisions over and over again. It was mind boggling and it was hard to turn your eyes away. Chantal received little sympathy online because of how controversial she was and she was not liked online because of many of the things she had said. Chantal just came off as a mean person at the end of the day.

So what happened?

Chantal broke the golden rules of youtube.

  1. don't be boring
  2. don't be unlikeable/mean
  3. don't fuck with cats

by breaking those 3 rules, you basically ensure your downfall on that platform. People generally don't want to support unlikeable characters. That's a given, people love cats, and people go on youtube at the very least to be entertained. You might be able to risk breaking some of these rules, but breaking ALL of them (and arguably, o...

about egg and radishes new video: they left out some important facts about Seagulls. Read more to find out!

While Radish did an okay job of talking about Seagulls, I think she left out some very important information about the beautiful birds. That they are actually our cousins.

Yes. That is right ladies and gents. the beautiful bird seagulls are just, sea eagles. They were our ancestors who moved out way over to the sea many years ago, but every once in awhile we meet in a beautiful family reunion and it absolutely is just amazing and fantastic.

Don't believe me? the proof is in the name. if you say "sea-eagle" it actually sounds phonetically exactly identical to "seagull". A coincidence? I think not. it's the unmistakeable indication that we really are a related bird.

While I am happy in my high mountain living area, I do think every once in awhile about my dear cousins, the sea eagles who decided to go happily out of their way to fly all the way to the sea. I hope my dear cousins are out there enjoying all the fish they could possibly gobble up.

Debugging AWS Backup Error

My S3 backups, automated and on-demand, were failing with this error:

IAM Role arn:aws:iam::<role-id>:role/service-role/AWSBackupDefaultServiceRole does not have sufficient permissions to execute the backup

This happened even when using the default role, which should automatically receive the required permissions:

Eventually, I realized that the default role should receive all of the following permissions:

  • AWSBackupServiceRolePolicyForRestores
  • AWSBackupServiceRolePolicyForBackup
  • AWSBackupServiceRolePolicyForS3Backup
  • AWSBackupServiceRolePolicyForS3Restore

In my case, the last two permissions, that is AWSBackupServiceRolePolicyForS3Backup and AWSBackupServiceRolePolicyForS3Restore were, for reasons that are unknown to me, missing. I manually created these missing permissions and assigned them to a new role:

Foodie Beauty rushes back to Kuwait after cheating scandal

Foodie Beauty (chantal marie) had recently returned to canada in order to acquire treatment for her diabetes, which had gotten out of hand (her blood sugar was well into the 400s).

Initially she was planning on staying for even a year or so as she waited to get a family doctor (although I have a lot of questions as to how she was planning on maintaining her blood sugar, or why she didn't get treatment in Kuwait, remains a mystery) but now she is rushing back to Kuwait after it came out that her "husband" was cheating

so yeah, gotta keep him on a tight leash I guess. That's the root of a healthy marriage right?

How I Managed My Hunger and Improved My Diet

The saying, "You are what you eat," rings true when it comes to our health. The food we consume fuels everything we do, be it work, hobbies, or day-to-day living. Whether it's mental acuity or physical strength you're after, it all traces back to your diet.

If you're still not convinced, let me share my food journey with you.

I didn't always have a problem with my diet. Like many of us, I grew accustomed to my eating habits. If there didn't seem to be any immediate issues with my diet, why should I bother fixing something that wasn't broken?

My dietary journey began when I started researching blue zones – areas where people tend to live exceptionally long lives. My partner and I were intrigued to discover that most residents of these zones followed primarily vegetarian diets, with occasional additions of meat or fish. Noticing this, we decided to incorporate mostly vegetarian foods into our meals. Although I've oscillated between vegetarianism and veganism over the years, I often felt very hungry on these diets. In fact, when I resumed a vegetarian diet, I wasn't feeling my best and noticed increased hunger compared to when I was on an omnivorous diet.

The next phase of my journey was prompted by an unexpected change. Despite not gaining a significant amount of weight after switching my diet, I felt softer, as if I was losing muscle and gaining fat. Dissatisfied with this shift, I turned to the advice of Stephen Zimm, a prof...

Gorl World Explained

So I am a huge purveyor of gorl world. I just think it's so interesting in the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of people who are also fans of gorl world and at the end of the day it's...kind of petty drama?

Okay okay let me take a step back and explain what gorl world is.

Gorl world is the world that exists between Amberlynn Reid and Chantal Marie (Foodie beauty, big beautiful me, idk she changes her name all the time). They're two obese women who have youtube platforms are relatively big followings. People really, really like to watch them. There are even many other youtubers who have made videos about them as well.

But what makes Gorl world so fascinating? I think for me it's the relatively little petty drama surrounding the channels. While there are there are some serious accusations in gorl world (Chantal has been accused of being an animal abuser, allegedly, and the evidence her is overwhelming to say the least) the majority of the drama seems to be centered around the fact that these two women cannot lose weight and in addition often lie about their weight loss attempts (weigh ins, food they eat etc.)

This is just the tip of the iceberg though as of course, there is a lot more to gorl world. One of them being that, there has been a lot of criticism concerning the gorls' personalities (generally people tend to find Chantal just...well mean, problematic, she has made racist and bigoted statements, Amberlynn, being manipulative and ...

Nutrition tips I got from a celebrity physical trainer

nah I didn't meet this guy because ain't nobody got that kind of cash money. But I did start reading his book and I thought i would share some of my favorite nutrition tips that I think are easy to implement and that I wish to start implementing into my own...life.

it's not a journey it's a lifestyle

Anyways a few things I learned....

  1. timing is crucial. Steven Emphasizes timing over the kind of food that you eat. I think this totally makes sense as it has a lot to do with insulin levels as well as why certain diets such as intermediate fasting work so well

2-3 hours after last meal to exercise if you eat 3x per day you should have 5 hours between each meal

  1. BCAAs take approximately 3g of BCAAs before and after exercising as this emphasizes muslce building

  2. cheat meals actually can help you, so don't feel guilty for having cheat meals seriously. just don't overdo it. one cheat meal a week is both great for helping keep you on track the rest of the week as well as helping your body from getting used to a new diet. I really like this approach to cheat meals

Let it go by Elsa the Icequeen

A few days ago my boss told me „to let go“. Like don’t be too harsh to myself and others. Especially the children at my workplace. I think he meant something like don’t feel responsible for everyone and everything. But how can I do this if I have this feeling in my gut that I can do better than a lot of other colleagues. It’s like finding a thin line between responsibility and let five be straight (weird to translate German sayings into English). I’m really trying my best and I know I‘m really good at my job, but it leaves me exhausted at hell. So as part of a homework for myself I try to let it go. Leave the opportunity for others to do shit I always do.

Other than its simplicity and brevity, I don't get how the book "Caps for Sale" is for kids. It's the story of this hat salesman who's having a slow day selling hats in town, so he decides to go out to the countryside. He walks out past the edge of town, past churches and houses, and when he tires himself, finds a tree to nap on.

Oh, he has this big tall stack of caps on his head that are arranged by color; that's an important part of the story.

Anyways, man goes down for a nap against the tree. When he wakes up, he finds that only his cap remains on his head. His cap is a checked cap.

He's way confused. As the book goes, "he looks to the right. He looks to the left. He looks behind the tree. No caps."

But then he looks up - into the tree. "And what do you think he saw?", goes the children's book.

Welp, there's a bunch of monkeys in the tree who are all wearing his caps.

Actually, since we know "his" cap remained on his head, the story seems to distinguish between "his" caps and the caps he was selling. It could be assumed, then, that these caps aren't even his. Perhaps he's selling them for another. Perhaps he himself took them from someone else. We cannot know.

The man gets very angry. After a few rounds of looking at the monkeys and wagging his fingers while imploring the monkeys to give him back "his" (again, "he" has "his" checked cap still on "his" head at this point), the monkeys don't give up the caps.

Finally, man gets very angry. Instead of wagging hi...

Unpopular opinion: conferences/job fairs are just circle jerks we pay to attend

My friend asked me if I wanted to attend a tech conference with her for a whopping, 150pln. Not to mention the costs I would have to pay as well for train tickets to get to the city the conference was in. We then got into a little conversation about our experience about conferences.

They seem to just be there for people who are already successful to flex, while hopeful but unsuccessful people watch them, feel amazed, and hope one day, they too can be successful. Finally, in terms of job fairs, a place where companies circle jerk each other and compete about which company is the best place to work at. I've never met even a single person who has gotten a job from a job fair, even though this is a "very popular way to get hired". Okay, honestly for who though? I legitimately want (need) to meet these people.

Why using Duolingo kind of sucks

I have been trying really hard to use Duolingo French so that I can impress some french skunks but I gotta say that shit is real painful.

First of all, it moves so fucking slowly. Like dog, I been doing Duolingo everyday for 4 days and learned nothing new, I am getting 100% on all my lessons and nothing new is introduced. And it's not that I am learning French somewhere else and then doing Duolingo. No. This is literally the only way I started learning any French. I didn't know what "Bonjour" meant two weeks ago. But Holy Shit. Duolingo really presumes their users are fucking idiots and cannot learn anything. Why does it move so god damn slow.

And the latest updates have NOT helped. Okay if I am getting like 70% or something this could be an issue but 100% on every lesson? and it is teaching the same shit over and over again?

This is yet another example of us moving just as fast as the slowest fucking student, another way no child left behind has infiltrated our education system

just let the idiots alone to drown, this is some survival of the fittest shit not, "little jimmy takes 4 days to learn how to greet someone in a foreign language so we gotta wait for him to figure it out"

Okay this happens in language classes too, but on a slightly lesser extent. It is still awful though.

#Foodie Beauty's Husband's Cheating Has Been Revealed in the WORST way

So this lady called @Sharmotaworldx on twitter just dumped a bunch of screenshots and videos showcasing some texts with Chantal's husband Salah. And the texts were wild. Apparently this guy has some seriously....taboo kinks...like toilet and grape stuff if you catch my drift. It was really gross. You can find the originals on kiwifarms or from reaction channels like AlexIsShook or Zachary Michael. However I don't recommend you actually find the original messages, they're just SUPER uncomfy to listen to. I found them and I definitely regret it, like this is all the details you need.

Foodie Beauty did go back on and rage about finding this out, Salah confirmed it was him, but apparently she forgives him and is calling SharmotaWorldx a bunch of names (typical, misogynist Chantal, yikes).

the whole thing is a dumpster fire , I was getting really bored with Chantal's material, and I was honestly not that interested in the return to Canada arc but man it is getting weird.

Foodie Beauty's bittersweet return

Foodie Beauty's views are now starting to come back, surprising everyone who really believed (myself included) that her channel was on the downturn. What was the new shocking video about? well....it's official, FoodieBeauty has been diagnosed with type two diabetes. An absolutely devastating and difficult to control disease. This is quite sad, although personally, I never quite liked her so I don't feel that much sympathy. Let me be clear I'm not a psychopath that is happy about the news, I do find it sad, but at the end of the day, she is living the consequences of her actions. Her audience, doctors, literally everyone has been telling her this was inevitable.

In honor of (???) Foodie beauty's return I wanted to talk a little bit about type 2 diabetes that might be interesting to the readers

Diet, exercise and fasting are all great ways to reduce blood sugar. The ultimate goal is to lose weight, however, exercise, which i don't see mentioned often, increases blood glucose uptake due to up regulation of glut4 receptors on myocytes. I say that because I often see people might want to ignore exercise because "you can't outrun a bad diet" and while this is true, exercise serves other purposes than simple calorie burning. For more info, I definitely recommend checking out exercised by daniel lieberman. it's one of my favorite books about exercise and I definitely think it can be encouraging to the average person.

People seem to be shocked...

How I implemented slugs on Sanity - a TypeScript code sample

The lack of human-readable slugs on Sanity had bothered me for a while and I finally got around to fixing them last Sunday. The old, slugless URL structure probably wasn't doing me any favors in terms of SEO and user experience. I'm hoping the new format can give Sanity a much needed SEO boost. Plus, I can finally tell which post is which in Google Search Console and Vercel Analytics.

Gorl World updates: Amberlynn Reid takes back her crown as gorl world queen, July 25

I've been super busy lately, but I wanted to write a short little update on Gorl World because

  1. I'm obsessed
  2. Gorl world is so difficult to keep up on I am sure I cannot be the only one

Anyways, breaking news! Amberlynn Reid and Jade/Wifey have broken up! The gorlverse was starting to get pretty stale to be honest, as a result of Amberlynn Reid not leaving the house and most of her videos were sit down and talking videos. Her gf at the time refused to be present on her youtube channel, and with ALR not having friends, well it made for really stale footage without any side characters. Her views began to drop and most of us were paying attention instead to Chantal. At this point, most of the drama laid around her getting another cat after having moving to Kuwait amid allegations that she had neglected her previous animals. At this point she was "trying" to lose weight, while simultaneously filming mukbangs of herself eating copious amounts of fast food/takeaways. I am kind of impressed that the gorls could eat out so much. it really is expensive to be maintaining that amount of mass.

Currently post break-up ALR seems to not be doing so well. She has admitted that the break-up was not mutual and she wants Jade back. Many people (myself included) had already suspected the break-up was likely not mutual. Post the "WLS surgery Era" she seems to be doing really poorly on her weightloss a...

The Thai Letter ฟ: An Introduction for Beginners

Understanding the Letter ฟ

The Thai alphabet consists of 44 consonants, and the letter is one of them. It is the 36th letter in the Thai alphabet and is called "ฟัน" (fan) which translates to "tooth" in English. The character symbolizes the sound of the English letter 'F' and is categorized under low-class consonants in the Thai language.

Pronunciation

The pronunciation of ฟ is similar to the 'f' sound as in the English words "fish" or "fun." When pronouncing ฟ, place your upper teeth gently on your lower lip and release air to create the sound. It's a voiceless sound, meaning you don't use your vocal cords while pronouncing it.

Thai Vocabulary with ฟ

Here are some beginner-level Thai words that use the letter ฟ:

  • ไฟไหม้ (fai mài) - Fire, meaning "burning"
  • ฟรี (free) - Free, as in no cost
  • ลิฟท์ (lift) - Lift, or elevator

These words provide a glimpse of how ฟ is used in Thai and allow for practice with simple vocabulary.

the "castles" in the United States are horrible abominations. We need to demolish them.

Yo for real has anyone ever heard of Hearst castle? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearst_Castle

I use castle in the same loose way that these fuckers who built this horrendous thing do. Basically some rich knob back in the 20s or some shit decided he really liked European castles so he decided to build his own.

It's so fucking ugly.

He basically just took aspects of things he liked from different architecture styles from medieval, renaissance, Spanish, German, French, Gothic, whatever who gives a fuck and blended them all together into the ugliest most horrible piece of shit pile of building materials ever imaginable. I would hardly consider this a castle.

I guess money really can't buy good taste.

But we should definitely destroy it because it's ugly and it is an insult to European culture

Kaibella is back!!!

Our favorite new queen of gorl world is back! For those that are uninitiated/unfamiliar, Kaibella exposed Chantal's husband for cheating. Apparently they've been talking for a few weeks, check out Kaibella's twitter @sharmotaworld2 for the receipts, I think she's quite funny

For the summary, Chantal is back in Kuwait (she had to rush back after finding out her husband was cheating), and it seems like the furniture is new? hmm interesting 🤔 oh yeah, seems Salah had changed the furniture since on the old blue couch he had taken a...splooogey picture to have sent to Kai, so he needed to redecorate in order to avoid more drama around it. Although at this point the cat's out of the bag

personally, I can't believe Chantal is going out of her way to buy lingerie, editing her pictures to look like Kai (seriously, I can't) and now says she is "serious" about her weight loss journey. She went out of her way to flag many of Kai's videos on tiktok as well, which I think is insane. I can't believe she is going after Kai even though HER HUSBAND cheated. like gorl, Kai isn't the problem, it's your skeevy husband

wishing all the best to Kai, I hope she gets her tiktok back

#FoodieBeauty and LifePlusCindy cautionary tales about desperation

I notice that more and more people are making comparisons between FoodieBeauty and LifePlusCindy, when it comes to their "man".

Mainly that, it seems both relationships seem to be due more to convenience and desperation rather than mutual love, respect and caring for each other, aspects of a healthy relationship.

Chantal's relationship recently was exposed because her husband was cheating on her, but this wasn't any normal kind of cheating; this guy had some very strange fetishes. r*pe, pee, poo, this was the type of thing he was into and it was...wild to say the least. Reading the receipts (voice messages and text messages) made me feel super uncomfy.

As for Cindy's lover, he has been exposed as someone who was trolling the reddit forums on Arkansas swingers and Arkansas hotwives (also for swingers I believe) and many people believe that he is a sleazy guy. We don't even really have to guess because during a livestream, he admitted openly to being a "mansplainer and degenerate". Can you imagine that type of person who willingly describes himself that way? Cindy also said that he's "not normal".

I really hate this guy profusely and I don't think he is good for her. Also he's just kind of gross. I would much MUCH rather be single than date this guy. Ew. He is always greasy and ungroomed in every single one of his appearances on her instagram. Disgusting. Does this guy ever shower?

I bought flip flops to wear around the house and it changed my life

Okay so I actually grew up in a house with carpet, so I never realize how much this carpet...cushioned my feet? I guess. And other times when I had a hardwood floor I would wear slippers

well for a few months when I was walking around my apartment barefoot I noticed I was having pain in my feet.

I thought it was because I was wearing shoes that were about a size and a half too small. So i got new shoes, and while this did help, I did have some pain remaining anyways.

My partner kindly pointed out that I should be wearing shoes inside the house. Because we live in a place with hardwood floors, so walking around barefoot only in socks was putting a lot of pressure onto my feet.

Once I realized and spent about 7 pln on shoes, the pain began to subside. I pace a lot more around the house now because I don't have pain in my feet. Anyways this has really changed my life. Thought I could put it out there for other people to know that if you have hardwood floors, it really is necessary to wear shoes throughout the house.

Why Gorl world has the strangest audience

If you've ever been a part of gorl world, you know the audience is...they can be a bit scary. Why you ask? Often fans of gorl world will nitpick little details in Amber's videos, there have even been incidences where Chantal and Amberlynn were doxxed, pictures of Amber's gfs surfaced (even when asked for privacy) even info about some of her other exs surfaced as well. So it seems like, if you're a cast member on gorl world, even if you're not a main character you're subject to the same careful scrutiny as the gorls. And that's not to mention the ecosystem of dozens of reaction channels JUST on the girls. That is insane! what gives? surely this audience is much more unique than the audience of other youtubers. Well, I have a theory.

Amber and Chantal started on youtube quite a few years ago, when there was arguably less content online. Their strength lies rather in their quantity of uploads rather than their quality. Their videos come from an era when, people liked watching lifestyle vlogs and mukbangs (and while this content still exists on youtube, I would argue they have already had their peak, and other newer content now might be more popular). Well, when you upload videos, and consistently (I use the word consistently loosely here) you're bound to eventually gather up subscribers and people interested in watching your video. The problem is, with both Chantal and Amber is that, while other people strived to improve their conten...

oh my god, this is the worst one I've seen

jesus fucking christ this is absolutely the worst cringe material I have ever heard in my life. I audibly gasped out loud and had to close my eyes through much of it. This is the type of guy that would monologue over you if you ever went out with him, best case scenario. But he's also the type of guy that would be monologuing while dismembering your body in his bathtub.

Jesus Christ. This takes the cake. I'm getting off the internet now. Forever

Good bye

BECKY SPEAKS OUT! BREAKING NEWS IN GORL WORLD WUT

breaking news in gorl world! if you haven't been keeping up, Becky (Amberlynn's ex) has spoken out about her relationship with Amber. After more than a year of silence she has finally posted once again on her youtube channel (kindagoodkindabeck)

She spoke about how she felt isolated, lonely, and how taxing it was for becky to have to take care of Amber during her relationship. I can't imagine what it would be like to have to be a caretaker at that young of an age (she was in her mid 20s at that time). Amber was completely dependent on Becky, to get food, to driver her places, even to bathe and wipe her. Amber was unable to do anything on her own and even at one point was bedbound.

The saddest part about the whole thing, at least for me is that Becky was denied time with her mother before she passed. Amber would always throw fits whenever her partner wanted to leave and becky was not an exception to this. Because of this, Becky was very isolated from her family and did not get that time with her mom. That really breaks my heart, I can't imagine the way Becky must be feeling. I imagine she probably feels a lot of guilt about it but Becky if you ever read this, know it's not your fault. you were in a manipulative and abusive relationship, and your mother loved you very much and she understands. The story around becky is super heartbreaking, she has indicated in her most recent update that she still struggles. She works at a ...

Understanding the Thai Letter ไ

Pronunciation of ไ

The symbol "ไ" represents the long vowel sound /ai/ (as in "eye"). It's important to note that "ไ" always precedes the consonant it's associated with, which might be a bit of a twist for English speakers, as in Thai script, vowels can be written before, above, below, after, or even around the consonants.

When "ไ" is combined with a consonant, it forms a syllable that sounds like "ai" followed by the consonant sound. For example, when paired with the consonant "ก" (g), it would be pronounced like "ไก" and sound similar to the English word "guy."

Introduction to Vocabulary Words

Let's look at some basic Thai words that include the vowel symbol "ไ":

  1. จำได้ว่า (jam dâi wâ) – means "remember that"
  2. ไมล์ (mai) – means "mile" and it is a borrowed word from English
  3. ได้ยิน (dâi yin) – means "to hear"

Each of these words includes the "ไ" sound, which is a helpful practice in getting comfortable with this aspect of Thai pronunciation.

Why France sucks - a serious post/talk about a topic everyone else refuses to speak about

Intro

yeah, I get it. Hating a country is pretty controversial nowadays, especially in the woke era. And to be clear, I think racial injustice/gender inequality are totally valid things to speak about (and in fact will be the two things I discuss here), but I fear we have gone into the opposite direction: basically now we can't criticize anything. It appears, at least to me, nuanced is dead, and you're either far right or far left. I think rather, we should be able to criticize things otherwise you come out with people who go way the opposite of the spectrum (dudes like Andrew Tate).

Why am I qualified to talk about this? I lived in France for 3 years, so yeah, I have some experience. I lived in both Paris and the south in Nice, and I promise you this is not just a "Paris" problem. I will post some links to other articles too, to make my point.

Racism

if you're not white or black (and a man), stay the fuck out of France, because you will have a really bad time. Hell even if you are white and black, make sure you don't get caught in the "wrong" hood. I have heard from many colleagues about the harassment they can receive if you enter the wrong neighborhood, with many people usually shouting at you but also there is a real risk of getting jumped.

When I lived in France, I literally could not leave my house for a single day without having racist remarks shouted at me. Not. A....

#The unhinged series is my favorite series

So one of my favorite youtubers has begun an uncringed series and I fucking love it. I am a glutton for punishment and I love/hate a good cringe and boy does it deliver.

check out this video of this dude at a gym trying to pick up a lady, it's so horrifyingly cringy and just awful at every turn. You'll struggle legitimately to watch it without having to pause so I am so glad in this video we can go back to Charlie's comments every once in awhile. Otherwise I would've just straight up died.

Also why are all the creeps at the gym? Bruh, people go there to work out not socialize and somehow ALL the creeps end up there!?

Also it's always middle aged dudes, wtf is happening with human men, there is a midlife crisis pandemic, and I think that #WHO should look into this before people get hurt (if they haven't already)

How I Maintained a Regular Exercise Regime for Over 2 Years

Let me tell you a bit about myself. In my other post, I talked about how I went from being a carb-addicted maniac to eating high-protein foods and thriving from it!

Well, another thing you might not know about me, which is a common trait among all of us humans, is the natural tendency we have to avoid exercise. I read 'Exercised' by Daniel Lieberman, and I really recommend this book to anyone else that hates exercise. I found it really motivating and not at all condescending towards those who did not exercise regularly or didn't like it. The long story short is that exercise was something we basically never evolved to do because it expends precious calories. However, as our society evolved and calories became abundant, we, as humans, never really adapted to this as we are still "evolved" to conserve calories. So, knowing this made me feel a lot less guilty about my exercise-aversion.

What really motivated me to start exercising regularly was having a goal that felt genuinely important and came from within me. During the time that I decided to participate in regular exercise, it was during the pandemic, and I was starting to feel sluggish from the lack of movement while being in lockdown. I also was doing something very difficult and mentally taxing at this time: I was learning a new language. I needed to learn it to at least B2 proficiency, fluent in other words. This was not at all an easy task, as any of you w...

The Thai Letter ว (Waw Wăen)

Learning a new language always starts with understanding its alphabet and sounds. One of the letters in the Thai alphabet that beginners encounter is ว (Waw Wăen). This letter is unique as it serves both as a consonant and a vowel. Let's dive in to learn about its pronunciation and usage.

Pronunciation of ว

As a consonant, represents the sound /w/ which is similar to the English 'w' as in 'water'. It is a voiced labio-velar approximant, and you will find it at the beginning of a syllable.

When functions as a vowel, it approximates the sound /ua/ as in the English word 'quality'. It is only used this way after a consonant within the same syllable, making it a part of a more complex vowel sound.

Now that we understand the pronunciation and role of ว, let's introduce some beginner-level words that contain this letter.

Vocabulary with ว

  1. ชิ้นส่วน (chín sùan) - A noun, meaning "parts" or "pieces".
  2. อย่างรวดเร็ว (yàng rùat rew) - An adverbial phrase, meaning "quickly" or "rapidly".
  3. วัว (wua) - A noun, meaning "cow".

This week, on Foodie Beauty; more drama, Peetz spills the tea on Chantal, and she gets another youtuber into hot water (Takat)

There's some drama brewing in gorl world this week, as Chantal is exposed for some of her lies.

First up, Peetz goes on live and reveals that Chantal is on a tourist visa, exposing a big lie that she is a resident in Kuwait. She is married so shouldn't she be on a residency visa? or maybe she is in the process of applying for it and hasn't quite gotten it yet. Either way, she was caught in a lie as she was telling people that she had residency in Kuwait, which has been exposed as not true. I think if she really is married to Salah (a topic which has been hotly debated in gorl world), she should've just been honest about waiting for her residency permit. But perhaps this is revealing a bigger lie about her; which is that she maybe in a misyar marriage, or not even really married to him at all. Only Chantal knows the truth to that.

Second:

has anyone noticed she has changed her name from foodie beauty to everyday mariam? this may be in response to the soon to be released documentary by Mr. Snowflake about her. His documentaries are known to be quite thorough, and Chantal, having claimed to be a "changed woman" may not be keen on having some of these things brought out about her in the documentary. Since the Kuwait arc began, she has been trying to seem much more pious, a "changed woman" as she puts it, and seems to be seeking a more Muslim audien...

Pioneer Academics: A Critical Evaluation for Aspiring College Applicants

As a high school student with aspirations of attending a top-tier college, you may be considering various opportunities to enhance your college application. One such program that has garnered attention is Pioneer Academics, which offers a research experience and college credits for a substantial fee of $6,500. While the prospect of working with a professor and gaining research experience may seem enticing, it is crucial to critically evaluate the value of this investment before committing your financial resources.

The High Cost of Pioneer Academics

The most significant deterrent to participating in Pioneer Academics is the exorbitant cost of $6,500. For most high school students and their families, this represents a considerable financial burden. It is essential to weigh the potential benefits against the opportunity cost of allocating such a substantial sum towards a single program.

Alternative Paths to Research Experience

While Pioneer Academics may offer a structured research experience, it is important to recognize that there are alternative avenues to gain similar exposure without the heavy financial burden. Consider the following options:

  1. Reaching Out to Local Professors: Many university professors are receptive to high school students who demonstrate a genuine interest in their field of study. By craft...

Hey there, future college superstar! 🌟 Are you poring over ways to beef up that college application? Eyeing Pioneer Academics, thinking it’s your golden ticket to Ivy League glory? Hold up and hear us out first. Before you part ways with a cool $6000, let's dive into why that might not be your best move and what you could do instead.

Pioneer Academics: The Pricey Path Not Worth Taking

First off, yes, Pioneer Academics promises the moon: work alongside a professor, embark on a research journey, and snag some college credits. But here’s the kicker: all that glitters isn’t gold, especially not at the steep price of $6000. 🚀💸

Think About It: Is the Investment Worth It?

Imagine what you could do with $6000. That’s a whole lot of college textbooks, a semester’s worth of pizza, or even better, savings towards your actual college tuition. So, before you decide to invest in a promise, consider the real cost and what you're getting in return.

Unlock Better Opportunities Without Breaking the Bank

Here’s the inside scoop: you can gain similar, if not better, experiences without draining your (or your parents’) bank account. How? Let’s break it down:

Reach Out to Local University Professors: You’d be surprised how open many professors are to high school students showing initiative. A well-crafted email expressing genuine interest in their research can open doors to volunteer or even paid research o...

Why Pioneer Academics is recklessly dangerous

This is going to be an article about how Pioneer Academics handles the data that you give them. When you sign up for Pioneer Academics they'll ask for your phone number, email address, parents' names, email addresses and phone numbers as well. When you work there they ask employees the same thing. The data is put into an excel file which is shared among employees. I was not informed about this when I was asked for this information.

The employees who have access to the files are numerous to say the least but I can't give an exact number. What I can say is that the employees who are hired are never asked to sign NDAs, and are numerous due to the high turnover rate.

When employees are hired they are hired at an excess of 80% hire rate. I was really surprised at how high the hire rate was, while at other companies I worked at the hire rate was around only 1/6 employees or 1/10. I really thought the time I was hired that Pioneer Academics had just started out, which is why there were so many open spots open. What I didn't realize was the poor conditions of working and abuse of employees which led to many people quitting or contracts terminated without warning, very often because any employee that asked for better treatment or better time management from the management were immediately fired. Management accepted no complaints.

This is relevant because the high turnover rate increases the number of people who have access to this ...
