I thought it was a joke, and then saw the actual post on LinkedIn this morning. That place is something else.

Thanks for the explanation! That’s exactly what I was wondering about, especially after reading some more comments in this thread. Sounds like it is an unfortunate consequence of how cursive is taught :(

Damn, that’s a terrible experience, I am truly sorry you went through all that. Those teachers are the dregs, fuck them.

Cool article, I feel like I learned more about linked lists in a 5 minute read than over a few classes in college.

Plus, I love that it references Vera Molnar - hand executed algorithm art is not that widely known, and people always look at me as if I have two heads the first time I bring up the topic.

It would be beneficial for all here if you could learn to not take things so personally, and take in some fair criticism about this particular post. But please stick around, the topic of the article is definitely interesting, thanks for that!

This is so alien to me, do other Europeans struggle with cursive? Is it a geography or an age thing?
Personally, it feels like a natural way to write and link letters quickly. I think it’s taught in a backwards way, and a lot of people never develop their calligraphy skills because of that, but once you understand the point of cursive, it makes sense. And it’s one more way to express yourself. It can be as legible/ambiguous as you want to make it. You can add fancy ligatures, or keep it clean.

All it matters is I still have one more year to tell strangers I’m 27, sweet

Nice misogyny you got there

I would love to ditch WhatsApp, but then I wouldn’t be in touch with my family half as much, and it would be a lot more difficult to get anything done.
I am in Spain where people simply assume you have WA, and the majority of small business use it extensively.

Yeah, they would be making decisions under too much pressure.

I look the hotel up in Booking, and then call it directly. I am usually offered better rates for the same room over the phone.

Or maybe, hear me out, he has enough time and money to dedicate to taking care of his body. This article is a super petty attack.

It isn’t hard to see why France is taking action to manage visitor numbers. After all, locals and the environment should come first. If they can’t survive, will there eventually be anything actually worth visiting?

Excellent. This about sums it up. Portugal could take a page off France’s book while it is not too late, but I won’t hold my breath.
