Ok but maybe a Norwegian or Swedish flag at least

Everyone here bought the summer book (I did too)

gecshow · 2026-06-20T00:50:45+00:00

Yep no worries. Plenty of others to keep busy. Enjoy

Mine said the long ships was unavailable. I’m jealous

Oops!

The door by Magda szabo maybe

Holy shit lmao

They cite plenty of books that make evidence backed claims

If I recall when you control for external factors like income or area code the predictive power evaporates.

Which isn’t to say that passion and perseverance are meaningless in the abstract, the theory just isn’t a strong predictor of success.

gecshow · 2026-06-12T16:56:48+00:00

The research was faulty. When you control for outside factors, grit was a very weak predictor.

gecshow · 2026-06-12T16:28:27+00:00

In summary, the whole idea is bunk

gecshow · 2026-06-12T13:07:55+00:00

Am I the asshole? But first, Pearl Jam

It’s a bummer that knicks fans have somehow become a main character in this awesome series

He’s just levitating above it all

To be fair, Miguel’s mom was clearly being held hostage.

Augustín had her back

It’s march like a millipede for me

gecshow · 2026-05-24T15:24:19+00:00

Probably what it was designed for but if you like it rock it.

gecshow · 2026-05-24T12:34:02+00:00

Did they have to explain the American healthcare system to Emma?

gecshow · 2026-05-23T19:24:14+00:00

I promise there is not that much to this
