That comes from the same that said chess was too simple for him because there's no "fog of war" and he prefers some specific bibeo bame instead. Like any insufferable "smarter than you" tryhard on the playground, he won't actually play you in chess to prove it's too simple for him, though.

lmao he's trying to act like his brain is so big that he needs to take the information in faster. he's like those kids in 3rd grade that swear they can read a whole book in 1 minute and then they open it up and pretend to speed read it just going "ABABABABABAUDDDBABABUBDBAUBUDBAUBBDBABDBUA"

hey this guy doesn't have the machine that keeps his eye lids open as 500 words per minute flash on the screen

I always keep these in mind and laugh because these freaks use race science and IQ like fucking horoscopes

mfw my last employer lost $10,000 on dogecoin because he believed elons bullshit

mfw $10,000 is such a small amount to him he didn't even care

Me too.

Imagine listening to audiobooks at 1.25x speed instead of 4x speed hep hep hep hep

I agree with you there; even the motivations were exhausting. "I WILL GET REVENGE FOR THAT" "YOUR REVENGE COMPELS ME TO SEEK REVENGE" and on and on and on. Cassandra was a fun vibe on the side, that said.

I much preferred the Odyssey as one of the forerunners of pretty much everything we now call an adventure in western literature... and it was in reverse!

Oh, ever read Lysistrata?

They went over the sea to fight a guy named Trey or whatever.

I mean, hardcore history is still great. It's not the best HISTORY podcast but it's probably the best history PODCAST.

I can seem like a genius mathematician (to credulous media and gullible onlookers anyway) if I say, like "my favorite sequence is the Fibonacci sequence" and then fluff it up with quirky nowhere talk.

It's bad enough that my bosses were bazinga brained and kept trying to force janky tech into the classrooms that typically lasted a year or less before it broke down and was a waste of money and yet what it replaced was never fully put back.

Part of why I despise so much was he reminded me of those petite bourgeoisie fucks that'd get rock-hard anytime "what if thing already in classroom... but now on a subscription and requiring an internet connection?" was peddled their way.

Some of the most gut-aching moments I had to see of bazingafication involved piles and piles of books outright thrown away because the library keep getting refurbished to look more and more to look like a Starbucks instead of a place for reading and study. I rescued what books I could... but the memory still sickens me.

Speaking as a former educator, I can tell you the best translation is the one that you understand best. I mean that. If the ideas are conveyed in a way you can internalize and visualize, that's the best one.

Read a few pages of whatever's in reach of you, each, and see which one reads the best if they have different word choices and phrasing.

I've seen some olde-timey versions of the Odyssey, and they're wacky because they make Odysseus sound like a Popeye character.
