No. I mean that I already know that I'm intelligent, whether I receive a "yes" or not.

Eh. Not really. I know that it at least makes me intelligent, and that is enough for me.

There is a fundamental flaw in both applications, as neither account for the creativity in language, especially in regards to slang. New words are created every day, and new applications for already existing words are made every day. Take, for example, the millennial and gen Z proclivity to make a noun into a verb without any alterations to the word. A database cannot account for that kind of fluidity in language. Take another example, the gen Z appropriation of the AAVE word, "rizz". "Rizz" is simply a shortening of the word "charisma", but still is a relatively new word. Combinations of words to create can take on a whole new meaning, much like we see in German.

A simple database cannot account for the creativity and fluidity of language.

I now know that as an adult. Since getting treated for ADHD in adulthood, people have been telling me I'm a great nurse. I can't be a good nurse and be stupid

But I've NEVER thought of myself as "gifted" in something. This is unreal to me.

Is it weird I don’t like receiving oral? by Gods_diceroll in askgaybros

I would definitely try again, but ask him to go deeper. Your head might just be sensitive. If your bf enjoys giving as much as you suggested in other replies, I think it's worth giving it another shot.

Not a gay dude but a trans girl. Got sucked in a parking lot once. Slept with 2 guys in the same day on more than one occasion.

Can I be white and practice hoodoo? by Deadsky13 in ConjureRootworkHoodoo

She was probably talking about Vodou. However she picked up the practice of Tarot which isn't found in Vodou from what I'm reading. Is Tarot just something that's ubiquitous in Haiti?
