That’s the great thing about books. All you have to do is tell the reader a little bit and they will fill in the blanks. I find it interesting that a character that is supposed to be beautiful in a book will always be perceived as beautiful because each reader has their own personal image of the character. Each person has their own preferences that visual arts can’t always match.

Reply to comment by wildadragon in We all find it totally normal to see people sleeping in airport chairs but out on the street or in a park it is usually frowned upon by Life-Meal6635

There’s no way you “rarely” have seen people sleeping in the airport unless you fly first class all the time.

Either way, I think it’s pretty clear that normal and frowned upon are two different things.

Interesting I'll read the full text soon. I hate reading :) but I read the abstract. I'm shit at short term memory I think but my longterm memory is kinda good I would say. I don't really listen to music and I don't plan stuff but my logic thinking is considered great. I've always had an easy time for maths and patten recognition.

I always thought Pantalaimon from The Golden Compass was a lizard. I even got a stuffed toy lizard that I named Pantalaimon.

I like to put some salami on my bagel sandwich. Better with an onion or everything bagel.

Reply to The difference between resign and re-sign is a hyphen but they essentially have opposite meanings by geebsnstuff

English has a whole class of words called contranyms. Which are words with identical pronunciation and spelling, but with opposite meanings.

Our new quantum scale processors represent a quantum leap in the field.

It’s a truly mad language.

I "speak" the words with closed mouth when I think. I think. It feels like the muscles in my throat is moving sightly when I think. So when I'm thinking I'm speaking for myself kinda. It's hard for me to think stuff if I'm trying to not move my muscles in the throat kinda.
