Things you realize when talking to non-native speakers:
Referring to a group of objects as "a bunch of" is informal unless you're talking about grapes. |
|
|
|
| |
|
| There are no conversations. |

| Marcus Aurelius |
We ought to do good to others as simply as a horse runs, or a bee makes honey, or a vine bears grapes season after season without thinking of the grapes it has borne. |
| Galileo Galilei |
The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do. |
| Warren Farrell |
Women are the only 'oppressed' group that is able to buy most of the $10 billion worth of cosmetics each year; the only oppressed group that spends more on high fashion, brand-name clothing than its oppressors; the only oppressed group that watches more TV. |
| Theaster Gates |
I sometimes am challenged to imagine where the timbre of art should be. Should it be about objects that point to this current moment, or how objects are related to ideas of this current moment? |
| Michelle Gagnon |
I was really fascinated by some of the things happening with Anonymous, the hackers group. I don't necessarily agree with everything they've done, but I thought it was a really interesting use of technology and the fact that there's a whole group of people who can take over systems and fight things from behind the scenes. |

So, I'm on 'Sesame Street,' walking around with all these monsters, Elmo and his buddies, a whole bunch of chickens, a whole bunch of penguins and a number four dancing about. It was just pure joy, simple, ridiculous fun, stupid joy. There's no irony. 'Sesame Street' is just a crazy great place to be. |
| E. B. White |
We should all do what, in the long run, gives us joy, even if it is only picking grapes or sorting the laundry. |
| Elizabeth Barrett Browning |
What I do and what I dream include thee, as the wine must taste of its own grapes. |
| John Steinbeck |
In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage. |

I've been an inveterate reader of literary magazines since I was a teenager. There are always discoveries. You're sitting in your easy chair, reading; you realize you've read a story or a group of poems four times, and you know, Yes, I want to go farther with this writer. |

The Allegory of the Cave
Plato realizes that the general run of humankind can think, and speak, etc., without (so far as they acknowledge) any awareness of his realm of Forms.
The allegory of the cave is supposed to explain this.
In the allegory, Plato likens people untutored in the Theory of Forms to prisoners chained in a cave, unable to turn their heads. All they can see is the ...

"I've had to live my life pretending that I'm colorblind."
One day in middle school, we were doing something with colors, I cant remember what but it had to do with colors, so I turned to the girl next to me and said as a joke, "Which one of these is blue? I'm colorblind.", while holding up 3 markers that weren't even close to blue. But here's the catch, she actually thought that I was colorblind, so she points out what the blue one was and we go on with our day. Or so I thought. About a week later someone is talking about uno, and I remember this because this was one of the weirdest conversations I've had with someone. So were talking about uno, and the girl goes, "Cal, you must be a shitty uno player because you're colorblind.", so everyone starts asking about it and I have to come up ...

“A success story isn’t complete without the hard work and explanation of why we were successful. Did the success come easy, thanks to one’s talents, or was it attained through hard work? Both of these attributions can be part of successful self-promotion, but my research shows that emphasizing effort is more likely to garner a positive impression and people really want to know the story behind your success.
“For example, if you’re on a date and talking about a marathon that you recently ran, perhaps talk about all the training that helped you to cross the finish line. Or, if you’re in a job interview and are talking about a successful project that you led to completion, include a few details about the challenges along the way, and how you overcame them.”

Like when you're talking to them and they'll always think you're trying to play my album.

I had a dream that I was in my grandmas house and my siblings kept coming and going and I was running around the house trying to gather things. I don't really know what I was doing. My dad was just sitting in the living room telling me that I needed to do things but I never really knew what he was talking about.

Dream last night:
Was in a zoom call, presenting some stuff that I was being evaluated on. I discovered in my dream that I really like geometry and wish I knew some physics shit. I felt like I knew what I was talking about in my presentation about something like the physics of things with different geometric properties. Would be cool if I was actually on to something in real life. I do remember being in a light car chase scene, nothing too serious, it was more like a mario cart race and I was having one of those meme moments with the person calculating a bunch of shit in their mind, and that had something to do with this geometric genius I was presenting.

when you got a guy talking with the vibe he's reading a script but he leans into bc it's funny but it's good enough where you're like woah-is he doing that to be funny or is he not even aware of it all
that's the funniest combo

I had some weird dream about chicken nuggets that I can't really remember but I had a friend and she was eating chicken nuggets with me and her dog and then her dog learned how to talk and transformed into a person. There was another part of the dream where I had a friend that was in a play and I was talking to him about it and he was talking like he knew nothing about it. It was like he wasn't the same person that was in the play.
