  • I agree with others in that it’s a course and part of a meal.

    But when eaten alone, snacks are snacks or meals according to size. If it’s something small that won’t even fill a third of your appetite, in my books, that’s a snack. And in my books, precisely because of scarcity reasons you have less leveraging power to demand tax on a snack.


  • In essence, this quote is true.

    Applied to reality though, in our day and age your results may vary. It is completely possible to travel and learn nothing that would open people’s minds especially when the traveling keeps itself within tourist zones and resorts designed to just give you a change of landscape and an illusion of cultural flavor.

    You need to purposefully step away from that sort of thing and actually engage with the culture to get the benefits of the quote.




  • No smell in dreams for myself but yes sounds, although if being honest most the times the sounds are from voices ( not always).

    Visuals are always there, and I don’t say sight because I sometimes see my dreams in 3rd person.

    I’ve experienced touch but it’s selective, often more some kind of proprioception while I fall, fly, swim etc.

    I’ve tasted things in dreams though, very few times but it’s there.





  • Not that I remember but apparently when I was 2 yrs old or so I snatched a handful of very expensive wedding cake from a bakery display window while my dad was busy paying at the counter. He noticed when picking me up to leave and godspeed back home because he couldn’t afford paying the now damaged cake.

    The first and only thing I remember stealing was a monkey toy when I was 3 or 4 yrs. Went to a party or something at someone’s house, there were other kids there and I decided I deserved that monkey more than they did so I pocketed it. My parents found out afterwards, they weren’t happy about it but didn’t care enough to return the toy to the owner. I guess it was a cheap toy.




  • I’m not sure if you’re saying my opinion was popular at the time- I’ve never met anyone in person who agreed with me, not then and not now either. Occasionally some people say, “ok, I get what you mean” but they don’t really share my opinion. Most of the times I get “what? Hercules? Such a great movie!”.

    And fair enough, I’m not saying it’s a bad movie, simply that I was thoroughly disappointed which isn’t the same. Objectively the art direction is really good, the voice acting and animation is solid, and yes the soundtrack was also objectively good but unfortunately not my type, what can I say. It’s just not a movie for me.
