Genuinely, I don’t know how else to get the word out, but I feel like if your home-cooked dinners don’t taste right, you're missing either paprika, sugar, butter, or chicken bouillon.

“The best translations into English do not, in fact, read as if they were originally written in English. The English words are arranged in such a way that the reader sees a glimpse of another culture’s patterns of thinking, hears an echo of another language’s rhythms and cadences, and feels a tremor of another people’s gestures and movements.”

— Ken Liu, Translator’s Postface to The Three Body Problem. (via as-if-falling)

i do Not miss shaving my legs whatsoever (i used to shave my feet and toes too bc ive always had dark visible body hair, do u know how much it hurts to nick your TOE with a razor -_-) i will not do that again evil evil experience but the one thing i do miss is the complete sensory joy of sliding into a freshly made bed with freshly shaved legs the sheer sensorial delight is indescribable. not worth the rest of it though

exploitation of graduate workers

colonialist past and present

ties to military industrial complex

criticisms of academia that get made:

Why is it even called the Swiss guard... do you actually have to be Swiss to join? I guess there are Swiss Italians right... Wikipedia says it's 10% of the country. Weird type of restrictions for hiring though. I wonder if anybody made a discrimination claim against them... although I guess the Vatican legal system prob doesn't even recognize the concept of discrimination LOL
