He’s pretty much the perfect example of pulling the ladder up behind you with his policies about disabled people. You could throw in there the eventual instance of the inner circle turning against him, but that hasn’t happened quite yet.

You won’t have a great social life, depending on how much time your job takes up on the weekends. I’m guessing you have an 8 hour workday? You’ll have to plan out your night activities in advance so you don’t get sucked into something that will make your saturday/sunday morning suck. I used to work every weekend, had my days off monday-wed, and it wasn’t great. Your adult responsibilities will love you. You’ll never have to take off to make an appointment for the doctor or for businesses that only deliver when you’d normally be working. However, your friends will always be grumpy that you can’t make the shindig they planned for the weekend, whether it’s just hanging out or going to a festival on the square.

I’ve defaulted to enabling the X reset on mine, just because waking from sleep is such shite.

I found that they have semi-weird spreading in the alcohol, and definitely taste different. I always mused that it was the acidity of the flavorer not reacting like it should due to the acidity of the alcohol.

May he choke on his own flayed cock force fed to him… but he’s really quite the idiot. If he hadn’t fired the competent leaders of the military, he could have just asked them to pull the pre-made plans out of the file drawer. I don’t remember if it was at the end of bush’s term, or when Assange released documents, but there was a period where the fact was being talked about on everything from radio stations to the local pubs that the US had ‘just in case’ plans for many of their allies. I would also put money on most countries having vague guidelines and goals drawn up for emergencies where a dickhead in an allied country takes power.

It’s not just whether tap water is potable, it’s also about availability. My job gives us water in bottles because we’re mobile for 12 hours at a time, and nowhere near accessible water pipes. I guess I’m fucked.

They have some basic strategies to use there. My go to method is to create stories. I find studying to be intensely boring, and I will either zone out or just stop when it quickly gets boring. Stories, on the other hand, are exciting and fun. I definitely still have stories from twenty or thirty years ago bouncing around inside my head. Random snippets from reading books is where I get my large trove of trivia.

So for your medical terms, try creating stories that involve real world adjacent plots. Maybe the Kingdom of Aorta had a schism, and split into multiple factions vying for power. The Brachiocephalic lords went first, taking the right half of the kingdom with them, but the northern common carotids couldn’t find agreement with the subclavians on anything, so they went their separate ways. That sort of thing.

Mnemonics are amazing too. I don’t know a single person who didn’t find it easier to remember the cranial nerves after “Oh, oh, oh, to touch and feel a girl’s vagina, ah, heaven!” Or the adrenal glands’ “Salt, sugar, sex, the deeper you go, the sweeter it gets” for remembering your “go fuck rats” of the cortex’s layers. Obviously the ‘carnal’ things are easier to remember because they intrigue your mind in a more powerful association. That might just be me… but it does seem like the majority of us who are playing with other people’s bodies have good sex drives.

I think most of us do know, and that’s one reason why it’s being poo-pooed.

I mean, that’s been the standard since at least ocarina of time. I remember rolling my eyes at the other characters reading your responses back to you.
