Probably something like... €400.000 to €450.000. Then I could buy an apartment or small house when I graduate and pay off my student loans in full. It depends on the city I can find work in and want to live though. There are 3 I'm seriously considering and it varies about a €100.000 for a house between the cheapest and most expensive of the three.

Yeah they evolved to keep much more baby-like features into adulthood with a big head and huge eyes because that's cute to us and triggers strong instincts of protection and love. I forget the exact name for it. And my cats do be looking extremely cute all the time so it was very successful.

I'd argue the end of civilization as we know it is the end of the world. Some amount of humans will survive with vastly less knowledge and technology, but survival of some humans isn't the metric.

Who the hell knows how long a kilometer or meter is?

Everyone outside of America.

Everyone knows what a football field looks like

You're either trolling or a living embodiment of the 'Americans think the USA is the whole world' meme. Nobody outside of the USA knows how long a football field is.

I have a disability and I'm a student so I have zero physical or mental energy to have a job next to my almost full time study. I used to just be broke all the time. I found out there's a city government fund for people exactly like me, and it honestly so fucking crazy what that extra 300 euros a month does. It's not just that I can afford necessities and something fun once in a while but it gives so much peace of mind. One of my cats was sick a few months ago and I could just take her to the vet and have her blood work done without having to stress about it.

You're like that one power user on old school forums that you would see everywhere and everyone else would know and respect them lmao

Aboriginal Australians also had 'constellations' that were the dark spots in the sky as opposed to the stars. I didn't know some Inca did that as well.

It has taken me 20 seconds and I still don't get it. Is it an upside down joke?

We have (very loosely translated) 'the innkeeper trusts his patrons as much as he trusts/knows himself' in Dutch. Or semantically more accurate would be 'an untrustworthy innkeeper distrusts his patrons'.

I had to do an official test along with a psychological examination for reasons when I was almost 18 years old, so I know at some point I was in the blue zone or above, but it doesn't really fucking matter when you have autism, a mood disorder and have been neglected by your parents so you never learned things like determination or frustration tolerance. I think I shaved a solid 10 IQ points off anyway from almost a decade of substance abuse issues, so now I'm just autistic and dysfunctional without the gifted part.

It's actually insane how many teachers and other education professionals waved me off with 'you're smart enough, just try harder' while I was obviously suicidally depressed and extremely dysfunctional. Having undiagnosed autism because I was a teenage girl in the '00s was fun.
