Books and weight reps are alike.
There is light ones and there is heavy ones. The light ones pile up & feel good or bad, important or not. Heavy ones are those that really matter, but you're never going to get them without pilling up the light ones. Heavy ones will give you an emotional, intellectual &/or physical orgasm that no light ones could ever give you, but without pilling up those light ones you will collapse under the heavy ones. Light ones are the journey, heavy ones the enlightenment.

most common question asked in a maths classroom: "why do we have to do this why can't we just use a calculator"

blatant lie told to every pupil since like 1980: "you won't always have a calculator available"

actual truth: "calculators are devil objects, none of them work the same, you'll only really be acquainted with how exactly one of them works across your lifetime and when it comes time to use it again you'll have forgotten how it works anyway"

Possibly the most symmetrical sentence ever constructed: "Sator Arepo tenet opera rotas", which in Latin means "The sower Arepo holds the wheels with effort."

It's easier to see why it's symmetrical if it's written in a square:

S A T O R
A R E P O
T E N E T
O P E R A
R O T A S

Thank you, masto-developers for keeping my TL chronological and algorithm-free, and for leaving it up to me which feeds to mute and block, and to the instance admins to devise and publish their own codes of conduct.

Ok, I now know which radio station it is, and I just checked their playlist of the moment, most of the songs indeed date back from the very end of the XXth c. and early XXIth.

My guess is that the playlist is made by people around my age…

Sadly, for me, I was never into those songs.

Ouch… The sport complex caferia streams I don’t which radio station. But we are now blessed with that :

I am consider fleeing, I thought that was forgotten and buried deep into the traumatized collective unconscious of my generation, those who had around 15 went it was a spring/summer hit.

« Oh le service public coûte trop cher. On aurait qu'à ne pas renouveller des postes et ne faire rentrer que des contrats précaires sans les former en augmentant la charge de travail. »
[Quelques années plus tard.]
« Mais merde, c'est même pas foutu de faire son boulot correctement. »

À mauvaises conditions de travail, piètre qualité de service.
