Coursera stinks now. Extremely slow load times, annoying AI chatbot that takes up the right half of the screen on the landing page, and a lot of courses that were free are now behi…

Nitpick: Iranians didn't invent chess. Four player chess called Chaturanga was developed in India, then it was picked up by the Iranians (in Farsi, it's Shatranj) and later the Ara…

When I get sleep paralysis, I either see shadows or aliens (the typical Hollywood grey ones with big heads) surrounding my bed.

I did this as a teen but I wasn't trying to meditate. I just wanted to listen to my favourite albums without any distractions. Anyway, I'd almost always fall asleep. How do you sta…

Their sons however!
