"Please use at least 3 sentences". I can't even.

Honestly, I'm pretty excited about being a "pioneer" (sorry to those who have been here for longer). I never commented much on Reddit, but plan to contribute more here.

To save a click: 72-year-old woman cured of a treatment-resistant e-coli infection in a study led by Dr. Greg German, an infectious disease physician at St. Joseph's Hospital, part of Unity Health in Toronto. She had been suffering from it since age 65.

"Everybody I disagree with is a dumbass." Thankfully, the world is more complex than that.

Only "sometimes"? I think it's more like "always".

I don't think people should drive for the simple reason that for most of history, we never experienced traveling at such high speeds. We don't have the reaction time required to handle that, especially when the stakes are so high.

I'm not sure if there's a more rewarding hobby than language learning. It opens up an entirely new culture and endless possibilities for friendship, hobbies, and opportunities. I cannot imagine my life without any of my language.

Actually that's not true. See https://www.canada.ca/...

Is that it? I definitely do it in the bathroom when nobody else is around multiple times a day.

Yes, but not to the extent of redditors.

Where? I'd love to go to one if you don't mind sharing.

It's not what you're asking but I figured to offer my thoughts on Anki to make the community more active.

I think Anki is a tool that can be effective but is not an absolute necessity. Personally, I find Anki reviews to be torturous and has always been the worst part of my routine, to the point of putting me off learning entirely. I've replaced Anki and all other forms of vocab review with extensive reading for a few years now, and am having a much more enjoyable time and don't find my progress to be hindered. Anki is probably good to drill in the first couple hundred words, but don't fall into the trap of using it religiously and making language learning a chore.

Unfortunately this might not be something from Reddit. It could be universal to all human communities. People want to feel that they are in the right but not be questioned, when countering opposing arguments is the way to truth.

That's great! I hope we can have more and more higher-density housing so the town can become more walkable in the future. A step in the right direction.

I agree with you completely. The only people I tip higher than 15% are my hairdresser and one restaurant I frequent, because these people bothered learning my name/face so it feels more personal than the average place. Everyone else gets at most 15%.

I'm so smart because I can see flaws with my country. So much better than all those normies.

You're right. I was just taken aback.
