  • ok, so basically im very smol

  • I don't wanna know how this happened... or what follows...
  • BoJack, stop. You are all the things that are wrong with you! It's not the alcohol, or the drugs, or any of the shitty things that happened in your career, or when you were a kid! It's you! Alright? It's you. Fuck, man. What else is there to say?

  • Mongoose Figure | Egypt, 664–30 B.C. (Late Period or Ptolemaic Period)
  • A source: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/544088 (currently in The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY)

    During the Late Period and Ptolemaic times mongooses were represented in bronze statuettes such as this one, standing, forepaws raised, atop small bronze boxes. The pose of raised paws signifies the animal's adoration of the sun god when he rises in the morning. Some scholars have identified these animals as otters rather than mongooses.

    In myth, mongooses were particularly attached to the goddess of Lower Egypt Wadjet, whose cult was centered in Buto, in the northern Delta.

Stalin remarked "I will shake my little finger and there will be no more Tito".[129] However, these assassinations would fail, and Tito would write back to Stalin "Stop sending people to kill me. We've already captured five of them, one of them with a bomb and another with a rifle. [...] If you don't stop sending killers, I'll send one to Moscow, and I won't have to send a second."[130] Yugoslavia would go on to become one of the main founders and leaders the Non-Aligned Movement.[131] > >

    John Lennon explains "Woman Is the Nigger of the World"
  • "Woman Is the Nigger of the World" is a song by John Lennon and Yoko Ono with Elephant's Memory from their 1972 album Some Time in New York City. The song was produced by Lennon, Ono and Phil Spector. Released as the only single from the album in the United States, the song sparked controversy at the time due to the use of the word nigger in the title, and many radio stations refused to play the song as a result.

  • There were some comments on Reddit suggesting that cutting the dataset at 15 and removing 40% of words was not the best move. I have locally built a version with the limit set to 30.

  • Thanks. It should read prefers-color-scheme. I have dark mode by default, but it's also possible to set dark/light mode too.

  • To clarify, it is not the total number of words but rather the number of unique words considered. Imho a million of unique words is okay. A bigger concern for me would be that words on Wikipedia can be overly specific.

  • A nice perspective discussing Ron's attitude towards Hermione
  • Ron being rude was the reason Hermione was in the bathroom when the troll attacked the school. πŸ™„

    "Oh, well done!" cried Professor Flitwick, clapping. "Everyone see here, Miss Granger's done it!"

    Ron was in a very bad mood by the end of the class.

    "It's no wonder no one can stand her," he said to Harry as they pushed their way into the crowded corridor, "she's a nightmare, honestly."
    Someone knocked into Harry as they hurried past him. It was Hermione. Harry caught a glimpse of her face -- and was startled to see that she was in tears.

    "I think she heard you. "

    "So?" said Ron, but he looked a bit uncomfortable. "She must've noticed she's got no friends. "

    Hermione didn't turn up for the next class and wasn't seen all afternoon. On their way down to the Great Hall for the Halloween feast, Harry and Ron overheard Parvati Patil telling her friend Lavender that Hermione was crying in the girls' bathroom and wanted to be left alone. Ron looked still more awkward at this, but a moment later they had entered the Great Hall, where the Halloween decorations put Hermione out of their minds.

  • A nice perspective discussing Ron's attitude towards Hermione
  • I would encourage you to have goodwill and assume that when he spoke about Hermione being from the US, he wasn't referring to her actual origin, but rather emphasising that she had a normal background similar to his students in the US. This is how I interpreted it.
