What are your experiences with homestays? (lemmy.world)
 

Anyone lived in one of those volunteer work in exchange for food and bed arrangements? How was it? Any stories?

I've been meeting my daily goal every single day, but I don't feel any progress. Had to write a little simulation just to tell myself it's coming lol

Aw how nice of you :D

Yeah this story is so long ago. I don't have as many flashbacks anymore. When I do I usually yell:

"Memories of the past, let me be!"

Seems to work.

Story (lemmy.world)
 

One time when I was in highschool, I was having those flashbacks. Memories of things I said that made me cringe. So I decided in order to stop creating more of those, I would keep quiet as much as possible. I'd only talk when someone talks to me.

The next day a classmate had a fight with his friend and switched places to sit next to me. I kept my rule and only spoke when spoken to. It was awkward silence the whole day. By the end I saw him moving back to sit with his old friend.

"I thought you were with droning_in_my_ears?"

"I tried, but he doesn't say anything!"

Damn. Could've made a new friend. That's when I decided better cringe than boring and ended my mute phase.

Do you think reptile live feeding is animal abuse? in c/casualconversation@lemm.ee

So you're saying it's like the lethal injection? Not actually a peaceful way to die but just looks so to outsiders?

Do you think reptile live feeding is animal abuse? (lemmy.world)
 

I've stumbled across videos on YouTube that show snake owners feeding them a live rate or rabbit or whatever. Some people in the comments say well that's just nature, others say it's animal abuse. What do you think?

On reddit I saw a snake owner saying what they normally do is kill the prey beforehand with a CO2 chamber and freeze it, and that there's no reason to feed live. Like the snakes don't need it. If that's true I guess it's needless suffering then. Weird that these videos are so available on YouTube then.

Today I learned: Desmos has a 3d calculator! (www.desmos.com)
 

It's in beta but it's been out since september of last year and all I can think is WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY TELL ME THIS?

I've been using desmos for years now and always wished they had one. I'm gonna spend the evening plotting random surfaces to see what they look like.

How many hours a day do you spend on your target language? (lemmy.world)
 

I usually spend 1-2 hours. Any more than that and I get too tired. At my pace it takes about a year and a half to 2 years to get to where I can read and listen. But I reckon it could be cut down if I was spending more time a day.

I heard that training diplomats spend 8 hours a day on the language they're learning: a full time job. Imagine that. I'd be completely exhausted and my brain would be buzzing by the end. You reckon you could do that?
