      Giving tutorials to Logic students has been very challenging and lots of fun! The course is much harder than when I took it myself two years ago, and there are no lectures this year. So there's a lot on my shoulders, but I can take it and that's an amazing feeling! :)

      For the first time in a while regular EMC stuff took me over 30 minutes... but now I actually have double feelings about it, as Super Mario Bros. 35 was released ereyesterday and I want to play it more. :big-grin:

        That's interesting, I didn't even know there was a word for the day before yesterday in English :P

        Both ereyesterday and overmorrow are entirely obsolete, but in my statuses I can use whatever words I please. :P

        Though it's always been stupid that overmorrow and ereyesterday are obsolete, as they are very useful. We use them in Dutch all the time.

      I got banned from my most frequented Discord server after someone swore at me, told me I should get myself checked out because I'm not normal, and accused me of being a child molester. Why did I get banned for that? I don't know. But I'm glad EMC's staff is not so toxic. :)

        That sounds like a terrible thing to say. Don't think you should have been banned for what they said, but it's probably better you leave anyway. No reason to hangout with toxic people.

        @lucky I agree! I was considering leaving the server after what happened, because staff did not seem to care, or even encouraged it... and then I got banned, for whatever reason, so I didn't have to decide anymore. :P

      Today I learnt that in the USA, there is no distinction between university and college; they're the same thing. There's not much of vocational training either. After secondary, you don't go different paths but you go up to a different point. Thanks, Rhy and waffle!

        I find it peculiar that it seems that in high school everyone has to do somewhat the same level of lessons. Here there is quite a clear difference between what people had to do, and I'm fairly sure that if you were to try everyone to do our highest level, most people wouldn't manage it.

        Indeed, it is peculiar. :thinking: Maybe the level of secondary education is just lower? Or they tailor education towards each student? That would be ideal, but seems infeasible. And sounds very un-American on top of it. :P

      What makes my situation a lot worse is that I have been hearing my bloodflow for the past 100 hours. My left ear being completely stuffed after preparing to go to the general practitioner's but there being no space. And now I had to cancel the appointment I did have, of course.

      I got ill... :/ and I can't get a COVID-19 test, despite having to teach at university (they didn't even ask about that, which is strange, as I thought I would get priority).

        Frankly, even if I knew I didn't have COVID-19 I might not want to get into public, as I might spread the common cold I probably have, and as such put other people into an awkward situation. Honestly, I'd be happy if it turned out that I _do_ have COVID-19, as in that case all the hoopla would seem a bit more useful. :P

        :P maybe, if you have just a cold, you could wear a mask outside, as that'll help with preventing to spread it. :)

      Why do some people on EMC that seem fairly mature neglect using capitalisation and punctuation? I hope they aren't all depressed... :(

        I try to keep at it, but the subject wasn’t ever my best. Truly, as CD pointed out, if the point is understood, that is what matters most. Not how formal it is written.

        607
        Yes, but in this case it doesn't. I am left to guess whether 'the point' includes the person in question being depressed or not. In some cases it's obvious they are, in others it's obvious they are not, but in most it's left ambiguous to me.

      Watched WALL-E with the study association today. :) It was an online event. I ended up organising a big part of it, because we only realised two days ago that we had a film scheduled for this evening, and I had the most time and the most technical knowledge. :P Amazing film!

        And I assume many, if not most movies will be like this, so perhaps rewatching isn't even that weird. :P

        It's nice to rewatch or reread a detective, and figure out all the hints that were dropped.
        My favourite instance of this ever is actually the play my study association did last year, which had both a detective story and a huge plot twist; for both of which many hints were dropped throughout the rest of the play. I didn't play in it myself, but I did see it all four times. :D

      4. TomvanWijnen
        TomvanWijnen
        Yeah, I agree! Even in that movie I watched recently, there were many hints and returning things, it was great!
        That's great! :D

      Looking forward to the other Ice Age levels from you on the piano! ^^ The Lava Cave one is the on I look forward to the most, not only because it's interesting but because watching you play it may help me with my YM2612 version. :D

        I'm not sure if I'll ever do that, though! There's a lot I'd like to play, and with on average half an hour of practice a day I do not master performances quickly. ;)

      SGDQ2020 did not have a venue; because of COVID-19 everything was done through the internet. However, it was still a very enjoyable event! My highlights: Millennium Racer, VB Wario Land, M&L Paper Jam, Night Trap, Baba Is You, Sly Cooper and the Super Mario Bros. games.

        In my room that tends to not really work, for some unknown reason. :P And when you are outside all day, like today, it having been colder doesn't particularly help. :P Where I was yesterday it also was 28+ degrees C, with burning sun. :P
