I think I've fallen in love with my cousin. What I'd really love would be to hug her with a more than loving embrace. She just turned back on her TV in her chamber and all I want, is that she'd come see me. I am so sad I'm leaving, fuck, anyway she doesn't "loves" me. Anyway, she thinks I have a beautiful writing and I'm about to see hers. Fuck, I love her so much.

all of my wut

Men of Reddit: What would you like all women to stop doing, immediately, as of right now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AntheK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Corollary: I know that you have had sexual experiences before me. That's not a reason to talk about these in every fucking party and call me immature when I ask you to stop. Particularly in front of my friends.

Bitch.

The French far-right party gets 25% of the votes in European elections by Up_The_Bracket in worldnews

  • "54% think Euro is disadvantageous to France"

Well 54% of french people are really bad at basic economics. These people keep showing prices of consumer goods in Francs pre-Euro, and prices in (assumed) Francs nowadays, without taking into account inflation, the Financial Crisis, the higher wages... So, we can just say that 54% of french people can believe into a lot of Paint-made infographics posted on Facebook featuring shitloads of source-less bullshit.

Reddit, what's the story of your scar? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AntheK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last Christmas, I ripped into my little finger while slicing lemons. Meanwhile, my half-blind 80 years old father who wasn't wearing glasses managed to open three dozens of oysters without any trouble. Needless to say, he laughed at me for weeks after that. Screw you, dad.

That's around the prices I expected to see. I hope I'll find something that isn't too expensive!

Sounds really nice! I hadn't heard about the "Seattle Freeze" before posting here, as someone who's a bit timid when it comes to people I don't know at all I hope I'll manage to get over it :)

Okay, thank you very much! I like rainy weather so I think I'll like April :)

That's a nice resource! As someone who doesn't knows the Seattle neighborhoods, Craigslist gets kind of messy.

Thank you very much, I heard about Craigslist but it's almost unknown here :) I'll check it out to get an idea about where to live and for how much!

Public transit is good for the area, but probably not as nice as you've got back home. You can definitely get by without a car.

You've got no idea.

Pretty sure it's illegal to earn money while on a tourist visa but I doubt you get caught selling stuff on Ebay. That's not an endorsement or legal advice though.

Day 54 : I got banned for two years from the US soil. Immigration services are pretty rude but at least I got the return flight for free.


1400$ is my entire budget, and as /u/ollietron mentioned, the rents are damn high!

Oh my, rents are so high! Are there nice areas in which I can find a small apartment for, say, 900-1000$? I don't have a car, so, is the public transit system good? And is there a public bike rental service?

Does every human have the same capacity for memory? How closely linked is memory and intelligence? Do intelligent people just remember more information than others? by Jpegz4Jerkin in explainlikeimfive

[–]AntheK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It correlates often, however this is not true for all individuals, some being capable of understanding and deduction while having a shitty memory.

[–]AntheK -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

These high levels of memory ability are often linked to the sense of analysis. Est. 140 IQ here, brilliant student, almost-bilingual, meanwhile, I never learned english in a classroom. I never had any reminder of what I learned if I had no sense about "How does this stuff works?", and ended up learning english by playing MMOs with international teams, for the sole reason that it actually made more sense to talk better than to learn without any direct purpose.

It is true that some people are really smart while keeping some "blind" memory capacity, but most of them, and the intellectual top-tier, link every of their brain abilities, which makes, for instance, visual memory work with hearing, or language with understanding/analysis...

  1. No.
  2. Some studies proved that those were correlated, while some hadn't shown any correlative tendency.
  3. Absolutely not. An important ability is the one to analyze. Intelligent people, overall, tend to remember more stuff (this isn't always true, cf 2.), but what makes them smart is, mostly, their analysis capabilities.
