Reply to TIL that due to "Subjective Age" most children and adolescents feel older than they really are. But this switches at around 25. By age 30, around 70% of people feel younger than they really are, with the discrepancy between actual age and subjective age growing over time. by AspireAgain
Well... I am 25 but still see myself as young.
We had a new hire help me recently and he used the polite "you" when talking to me and asking questions. Which confused me and I said that he can be casual and he's probably not much younger than me... But he's 15. I'm two third of his whole life older than him. That made me startle a little when I realized. There's people getting into jobs soon who will be half my age...

Every time you pay with credit card, some poor banking intern has to run from the bank to the store with a wheelbarrow full of cash from your account

The same external volume maybe but not internally. Internally screaming at some idiot who cut you off is louder in thought than offering someone some free real estate

The color of my dryer lint matches the sorted color of clothes I just washed. I clean out the king tray before each use. As well as the water drawer to be almost empty, since some water is needed to properly dry

Reply to Today I learned Tabula rasa (blank slate) is the theory that individuals are born without built-in mental content and therefore all knowledge comes from experience or perception, which is in direct contrast to Innatism which is the idea that the mind is born with ideas, knowledge, and beliefs. by St3v3nMS3
I think we are born empty minded but with genetic skills from our parents to learn some things better than others. My mother is good with languages, my father is good with maths. My grandfather is a focused thinker.
So, my language skill developed focused on just one language to be really good, instead of spread out over 5 like my mother has. And my math skill is purely on the theoretical application with throwing numbers around but not physics or so, which my father was also good at in his school time.

Music can't bend time. It's also just bending space. Though in a way that you can hear, unlike paintings.
There is no temporal art

Unless they only work half an hour daily, 10$ would be way too little

Reply to Every single person in the world who reads a novel will have a different image of the characters and scenes that they read by JenJen3508
And a movie adaptation throws things under the bus. I love the percy Jackson books but the movies are just bad. I wad excited when a "truly faithful" series adaptation was announced by Disney but their casting is incorrect. The characters have detailed descriptions and Disney disregards that. Why even bother?
But with harry potter I had the opposite experience. Never read the books but I like the movies

Title says snowman, image says snowwoman, snow pule in the background is clearly just a cone and not a snowperson.
Snowpeople come from balls. A big cone does not equal three stacked balls.

Reply to TIL that before Lincoln Center could reward David Geffen's $100 Million donation by renaming "Avery Fisher Hall" to "David Geffen Hall", they had to pay the heirs of Fisher - the original donor - $15 million. Geffen's donation has a provision that requires his name to be on the hall "in perpetuity". by AspireAgain
Neither of these have a good ring to them. If I could choose the name of something, I'd make it memorable either through a weird joke or repetition. "Superb hall", "I paid for this hall", "I am rich. And I make so much money, I esrned the 100 million dollars for this in just one month - hall", "hall hall", "Superb hall"
