Took the train from Portland to Seattle today and ended up sitting next to Joann, a wonderful older lady with five kids and a dozen grandkids. We spent the entire three and a half hours talking about family, health, food, travel, and a million other little/big things. My faith in humanity meter is struggling lately, but our conversation really raised it. Related

10yo just learned about Lady Gaga by way of Weird Al. It happens! For a few years, this was the only version of Pink Floyd’s “Brain Damage” I’d ever heard: https://t.co/8ScXD9nbm8 The non-bluegrass version sounded very weird to me. Related

the most important skill is to be able to teach yourself something complicated from a youtube video. The other day, I met some parents, and they were super concerned about their 16-year-old daughter. The parents both went to very fancy colleges, and their daughter was not on the track to go to a very fancy college. They were lamenting that and were concerned about that.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
