People don’t gather around you when you need them. People gather around you when they need you. This is why the political class around the world today can’t be really called “leaders.” THEY need the people around them to give them validity. ACTUAL leaders are already valid and people will gather around them BECAUSE of that.

Anyone have any good movies they have seen lately?

What is happening, finally friday night and the weekend is starting. Anyone having any alcohol?

When are restaurants going to start putting ingredient lists on their menus? I don't want to be reliant on 3rd party (paid!) apps like SeedOilScout to avoid consuming engine lubricants & other shit. Also, LOL @ Statistics Canada for calling their canola oil marketing campaign a "success story" https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/96-325-x/2007000/article/10778-eng.htm#cont

I kept hearing water boiling. I went to the kitchen to take a look at the stove- nothing.

I thought I was going crazy and then I realized my daughter had put the aquarium channel on the television, turned up the volume and walked away. Haha.

TIL "terimah kasih" is "thank you" in Indonesian, the literal translation of which is "to accept love" and I think that's just unbelievably cute

I'm curious if our rewards pool mega donor has permanently disappeared.

We cannot have any unmixed emotions - said poet William Butler Yeats.

I'm attaching wallets to my SN account. I'm using my node to withdraw and Mutiny to add to. I know @StillStackinAfterAllTheseYears noticed a bug existed for auto withdraw. Does anyone know whether this has been resolved?

I like to ask the fiat people in my life for advice and then do the exact opposite. It’s like the Inverse Cramer Indicator - almost never fails. Same logic applies when dealing with advice given by your government.

Let’s go weekend time! Kids play at school should be an interesting night!

Sell the corn or get a loan? What to do 🤔🤔🤔

When you are born, in a state hospital, it is referred to as your birth or “berth”, which is carried out by a “doctor”; however the word “berth” is a shipping term, within maritime or mercantile law.

Note: Doctor means “Dock-Tender” a person who “attends”, or “functions” at the dock. They are “docking a vessel” meaning the birth of a baby from its mother’s water.

The term “berth” means when a ship or vessel has left its allotted place at a wharf or dock, which is usually conducted by a “doctor”.

So the date of “berth” is when your name was registered with the system and recorded by the “doctor”, who works for the “shipping company” within commerce using mercantile law.

When asked what is your date of “berth” they are asking for the date your mother or “vessel” was “berthed” at the “dock” and delivered the “cargo” meaning you.

It would be advisable to question this and ask them “do you mean when was I born?”

Note: When you are unwell, you “dock into harbour”, a doctor will offer you a contract of illness, and if you accept will enter into an agreement to buy drugs. You have now “contracted” an illness and are in debt to the doctor for the drugs.

Rustling up more Sats before the storms.

I had an epiphany when I was marking my students’ work yesterday.

I was struck by how some of them wrote exactly the way they spoke. Which was a great glimpse into their minds because they wrote a personal recount entirely in the present tense.

Intrigued, I consulted Gemini:

I used to think my students didn’t know how to code switch between Singlish and English.

++Now, I believe that** their lapse into the present tense is actually a sign of interference from their mother tongue. In Malay, there is no need to change the base verb tense.

So, I think in order to better their writing, we might need to change the way they speak. Since they use the same informal register for both speaking and writing, we can help them develop code-switching skills. For example, after the Google Meet meeting, I helped Rifa’ie with his diary entry. I got him to narrate his sepak takraw match first. After I corrected him a couple of times, he naturally adopted the past tense for the rest of his entry.

Building on this, I propose that our speaking assignments next term could incorporate a story-telling component so that students could practise speaking in the past tense.

A good book to dive into.

Good morning!

I am away this weekend to celebrate my upcoming birthday!!! Yay! I think I may get a funny look though for bringing my laptop so I can catch up once in a while on here😂
